PLEAD FRIGHT" TO TAX
REPUBLICAN PARTY STILL
STRONG FOR PRIVILEGE.
Chairman HiiIes, In His First Official
Document, Pleads for the Trusts
Against the Interests Of
All the People.

Charles D. Hilles, the newly chosen
chairman of the Republican National
committee, as his first official act
sounds a defiance to the enemy. The
Democratic platform begins with
recognition of the notorious fact that
the Constitution does not authorize
the laying Of tariff taxes for the pro-
lection of manufactures. Says Chair
man Hilles:
1T (the Democratic platform) de-
clares as false the vital issue Of the
constitutional liberties Of the individ-
ual. 1t would leave the in
dividual defenseless in the protection
of those rights declared inalienable
under the Constitution"
1t might be Just as well for us to
get clearly in mind exactly what
right of the individual Chairman
Hilles is defending. 1t is the right
of one man to tax another for his
own benefit.
That is what protection means. I'm
der the Payne-Aldrich tariff there Is
a heavy tax on gloves. MI. Htlles,
like all good Republicans, stands for
the fright" of ex-Congressman Lit
tauer Of Gloversville, N. Y, to tax
the working women Of st. Louis by
exacting a higher price for inferior
gloves than good one would bring II
sold in competition with the open
market.
Under the Payne-Aldrich law artf-
cles manufactured of rubber are pro-
tected by a heavy tax. Chairman
Hilles stands for the right" of the
Aldrich rubber interests thus to tax
American consumers Of rubber Tor
their own profit.
Under the Payne-Aldrich law there
is a heavy tariff on steel rails. This
enables the Steel trust Of Mr.. Gary,
Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Morgan, which
makes steel so cheaply as to sell tens
of thousands of tons each year IN the
foreign market in competition with
the world, to. lay a heavy burden on
the purchaser of steel at home-a
burden which forms part of every
railroad rate and Is one factor OF the
high cost Of living in every home
And Mr.. Chairman Hilles stands fof
the constitutional liberty" OF Mr
] Morgan and the steel magnates thus
to tax the rest of us in order to make
more Pittsburgh ~millionaires and pile
up more cash and securities In the
vaults OF the Steel trust banks!

 Graves turned to Lee at his side. Graves was rehearsing candidates for his chorus in the musical show, for which Lee had written the music, and so thought he had a right to his opin- ion.
 .'Yes. sir; don't need to hear 8 girl sing to tell whether or not she will do. and I don't need any more than a glance to tell whether they can throw their feet a little"
 Lee smiled Your cocksureness al ways gets on my nerves; but take this girl just coming in-what do you say?" Lee asked.
 Coming in from the wings, where the anxious candidates were kept in suspense, was a slim girl dressed in brown; her eyes to the two men sit ting at the side of the stage seemed abnormally big. She gave her music to the pianist and stood ready to sing.
 Shell never do; her voice will be as thin as watered beer, and her figure thinner than that" Graves an nounced briskly.
 Lee leaned back and watched her. h his mind a slow decision formed-ii he could only put one over on Graves; the girl looked to him as if she had possibilities.
 The girl began to sing. Grave, grunted and looked at Lee with wide grin. Her voice was thin, Lee admit ted to himself, but something in 1t at tracted him.
 When the song was finished, Graves asked her to dance a few steps. She danced few steps, lithely, gracefully but-Graves grunted again.
 While the girl was waiting for their . decision Graves leaned over. My boy, you're mighty good music singer, but you can't judge girls. He turned tc her and waved her away. She seemed to sway and shiver little, then start. ed for the wings, her face white.
