Is there a new deal in the place of
the old plan of private understanding
between republican leaders and the
trust magnates and the support of the
republican party by the privileged in
terests? Are we to have a new plan
under which the trusts will openly
control political party and through
it legalize monopoly and manage them
selves under the pretense of public
regulation?
These are questions brought out by
Governor Wilson's speech at Denver,
They are not only suggested but an
swered in the most positive afiirma-
tive by the developments in the senate

series of facts which no man can dis

the government there is not the slight
est doubt that there would be deal
by which the steel trust, the harvester
trust and all the other trusts that
would put up, would get all they de-
sire, and they would manage the gov
ernment by which it is proposed to
have them regulated.
What can we expect from great in

ize monopoly and control the large cor

to be created, dominated, and controll-

to regulate?

The democratic party proposes to
provide for an investigation of the
methods Of levying taxes with view
to developing for this state scientific
system that will insure equity in tax
alton, One of the problems of govern
ment has ever been the raising of nee
essary revenue, and the levyng of
taxes Immediately involves the ques-
tion as to the distributions of the bur-
dens of government. 1t is a cardinal
democratic doctrine that each man
should contribute to the support of
the government in proportion to his
means, and in proportion to the bene-
fits he derives, assuming always that
no man should be entitled to any spe,
cial advantage. The large property
owner should be compelled to pay in
the same proportion as the small
property owner. Concentrated wealth
should not be permitted to escape tax
alton at the expense of widely dis
tributed wealth.
The tendency has always been. un-
der most of the systems of taxation
that have been devised, without re-
gard to the political complexion of the
government, for the larger interests
to escape fair share of taxation. The
small property owner is too frequently
Indifferent to his own interest For
instance. the man who owns a thou
sand dollars worth of property, If his
taxes are high or low. does not pay
q large amount. and standing alone he
IS not likely to make any effort to re-
sist what he may consider an unfair
burden. But the individual. or the CO..
poration owning million dollars
worth of property, taxed in like pro-
portion, takes a different view, and is
in a position to pursue 4 differ ent
course The result is that propcrt!
whose control is concentrated rarely
ever pays in the same proportion a.
property whose ownership is widely
distributed, The concentrated owner
ship finds some way, usually to infu-
ence assessments or the Jaw relating
to taxes SO as to escape a fair pro9or-
tion of its burden
Oklahoma has already made pro
gress towards fair taxation The sys-
TEN now in vogue in this state, If
properly carried out by local author,-
ties, can be made to insure a reason
able approach to fairness. but the dem
ocratlc party is not content to assume
that what it has already done is per-
feet. It pledges itself to such investi-
CATION of this matter. such inquiry as
TO what is being done elsewhere, as
viii develop the information upon
which the present system may be mod
flied and perfected II Is well enough
for the tax payers to remember that
fairness in the levying of taxes is no
less essential than honesty and econ
omy in the expenditures OF the pro-
ceeds OF taxation, and the democratic
party is pledged not only to honesty
and economy in expenditures. but to
equity in the distribution Of the tax
burden.

DISCOVERY OF INFANTS DEAD
BODY LEADS TO ARREST OF
JAMES FLACK.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The discovery of the dead body of
newborn infant concealed in a
smokehouse on the Bruc.- Shaw place
near Liberty church, six miles east of
Conway, Saturday, led to the arrest
yesterday of James Flack, who is held
under a $500 bond and is charged
with being responsible for the death
OF the child. His examining trial will
be held before Justice of the Peace
Henry Carter next Friday.
The body of the babe was found by
Will Robinson and Will Shaw, who
had sought shelter in the smokehouse
during a rainstorm. 1t was wrapped
in an old quilt and partially buried in
the ground, being covered with an old
door shutter. Suspicion pointed to
Flack on account of the fact that he
and his wife had only short time
ago moved away from the place.
Acting as coroner, Justice Carter
held an inquest over the body yester-
day afternoon. 1t is stated that DR..
George Harrod testified that he had
knowledge of the birth of a child
about four weeks ago to Flack's wife,
but Flack is said to have denied at the
inquest any knowledge of the entire
affair. 1t is also stated that Mrs.
Flack, who was unable to attend the
inquest, made deposition to the eff
feet that she had never become the
mother of a child.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict charging Flack with maanslaugh-
ter, and the acting coroner fixed his
bond at $500, which was made. The
entire community is said to be very
much excited over the affair.
