No Contest Evidence.

A motion was filed last week
in the Supreme Court to dismiss
the contest proceedings of
CAN'T, Timmonds and Gass
against Brown, kennish and
Evans because the contestants
have failed properly to prosecute
their suits, have shown a lack of
good faith, have merely fshed
for whatever they might catch
to sustain their charges. and be-
cause the long drawn out pro
ceedings are depriving their
elected Republican opponents of
their salaries and otherwise him
dering public interests. The
contestants asked in May pro
longation of the time allotted for
the report of the special commits
sioner appointed to take their
evidence till August. Now they
want the court to wait until Oc-
tober for the report. So far
they have not proffered anything
whatever to the commissioner.
nor has he held single hearing
or examined a single witness.
The suits were entered in De-
cember and the commissioner
was appointed soon thereafter.
Instead of beginning at once the
taking of testimony concerning
the election of Supreme Judges
and Superintendent of Schools
the attorneys for the contestants
encouraged contest proceedings
in St. Louis on the part of de-
feated candidates for Congress
and the legislature, hoping there
by to find some evidence of fraud
or some technical objections to
be used in the State contests
They were disappointed in that
procedure and were subse
quently disappointed in the re
count of ballots, ordered by the
Court. Now they have nothing
to present to the court and wan1
two or three months time to fint
something.

ed letter was that the writer was

Whether there really was such a
letter is of less consequence than
the matter upon which it is said

Uncle Sam s credit is first class.
Let US show you something else.
The canal completed will cost
S4OO, 900, 900. not all Of this cost
will be bonded indebtedness
however, but a good part of it
will. Take the recent issue of
$50, 100000 at 3 per cent, to run
fifty years. That means every
dollar of that loan will be augu-
mented in the final payment by
S1.50 interest, or one and a half
times more than the amount bor-
rewed. The same will apply to
every bond issued for the cost of
the canal. Are we going to get

the taxpayers get off finally with
a billion they may feel like con-
graduating themselves. Now
instead of bonds. supposing the
government had simply used its
credit, as it did during the civil
war, and issued non-interest-
bearing certificates in payment
for the canal. redeemable in gold
in fifty years, and let them cir
culate as currency, we would be
getting the canal at the actual
cost of construction. Fiat mon

The Steel Trust requires the
consumer to pay dividends on
$500, 900, 900 of water in its capi-
tai stock. We don't know just
what the rate of the dividend is,
but let US assume that is six per
cent Gt is probably several times
that and at that rate the public
pays the Steel Trust 5000. OoO
annually for nothing. And this
is only one of the trusts, the
others all do the same thing. So
it is not at all 50 difficult to dis
cern why the cost of living is sc
high if you know where to look
for the true causes. If the peo
pie owned the steel industry
they could pay the present cost
of production, or even raise It,
and still save the consumer big
money. But our chief concern
seems to be to maintain process

In less than two weeks the vot-
ers of Missouri will be called up
on to reject or adopt the PROPOSE
ton to rebuild the state capitol
at Jefferson City at cost OF So,
100000. If it is turned down the
question will come up again at
the next election under a constr
tutional amendment, when the
sum named will be S5,0OO,Ooo,
and which must also determine
the site of the state capitol. We
believe the proposition to be vot.
ed on August 1st names a sum
much in excess of what is really
needed to give Missouri a suit

considering the matter we have
concluded it is the best way out

of the voters.
