Dakota Repu bllcan: A we'll
known democratic editor said,
early in 1908, that nothing except
a crop failure, pestiIence and a
panic would enable his party to
beat the repu blicans in presl-
Dental year 1t will be noticed
that none of these calamities are
in sight now, and the election is
less than three months away. In
fact, the country is in a rather
salubriouS condition, hyglenical-
ly. Not only is there no sign OF
panic, but business of all sorts
is improving in a degree which
has gone beyond all expectations.
This is true Of every important
branch of activity. Moreover.
government crop reports indicate
that this will be a year Of great
abundance. In the aggregate
the gram crops will break all the
records. For the first time in
the country's history the pro
duets of the farms will will pass
the $40, 100000 900 mark
According to ali the precedents
this ought to be good year for
the republican party. The party
which is in power in the nation IN
a y ear Of plenty, as this is, usu-
ally wins When the people tiud
as the Globe Democrat editori-
ally maintains-all the physical
conditions favorable, they gener-
ally steer clear of rash expert
ments in politics. Only in
periods of calamity, when every
, thing seems to be going wrong,
and when still worse conditions
threaten, 40 the masses OF the
public turn from the party which
is upper ost in the government.
They want change, believing
that a change Of any sort could
not harm them. and might, pos
siblv, help them. The strike in
the Carnegie works at Homestead
ia 1892, and the prominence OF
the Pinkerton guards there on
the side of Carnegie aroused a
popular prejudice against the
iron master, and as there were
labor troubles in other places al
so, the employers in all cases
being presumed to be republi.
cans. wave of popular prejudice
was created which defeated Har
rison for re election and gave
Cleveland his second term.
But the physical outlook in
1912 IS pleasing. Nobody can
assert that the republican party
deserves all the credit for the
great crops of this year. Nor
will any ublican say that his
party is entirely responsible for
the favorable condition of the
public health. 1t will be rem EN-
bered. however, that the national
government, few years ago, as
sumed control of the quarantine
arrangements at the cOuntry's S
ports aud an improvement in
conditions set in i'm N ediately.
The wisdom of the repu blican
party in conducting the affairs OF
the government has had much tc
do with the trade rally which is
seen on all sides. All OF these
considerations will help the re
pu blican party on November 5

exist The valuations fixed by the
state board have, in thousands of in
stances, raised valuations above the
full value Of the property which is di-
rectly in the face of the constitution, -
In closing the brief states: we do
not think it would be useful TO prolong
the argument Our views are sufll-
ciently set forth. If they do not ap-
peal to the court. it is because the
court is fundamentally opposed to the
views expressed and not because Of
any defect in the manner of stating
them. 1t is our contention that it is
essential to the maintenance of our
scheme of taxation that local assess
Iment should be preserved and should
be the basis of taxation If the action
of the state board can stand, then this
principle is struck out of our scheme
and the entire power of taxation cen
tralized in the board of equalization.
We do not think this can be done"

Oklahoma City, Jan. "a general
order Of the corporation commission
prescribing rules for transmission and
delivery Of kilograms, and reducing
the rates now charged for telegraph
ing in Oklahoma, was reversed in great
part and in a few instances affirmed
today by an opinion by Chief Justice
Turner of the supreme court in the
case appealed by the Western Union
company.
The most important feature of the
opinion was that reversing the com
mission in fixing a new schedule Of
rates which the court declared would
have caused the Western Union to
operate at loss, and held that the
companies could continue their pres
ent tariff rates. These, the court found.
yield a little less than 8 per cent on
the entire investment in the state.
Commission Rates Proposed.
Rates proposed by the commission
were % cents for distances o. gs

of $50 miles, and owe rthat dIHance

The fundamental principle of social
ism is that labor is the standard of
value. That product is worth ex-
|actly the amount of labor expended in
producing It. If this theory is true.
lend cannot have any value whatever,
because land is not the product of la
Dor. But if land really has value, then
the fundamental principle of socialism
cannot be true.
