Another Chance for TAFT.

The Democratic wool bill Of last
yrHr proposed reduction uf ~ per
cent ia the rates on wool, and 1t
passed the House by vote Of 22l To
100. The same bill has again passed
the House, this time by vote of
lSl to -.
When he vetoed the bill last year
President TAFT gave ns his reason
the fact that the tariff board had not
reported. Now, in the light of the
tariff boards report, the Rcpubli-
cans of the House have submitted II
bill which calls for reduction of 10
per cent in Schedule X, or Just two
per cent less than the bill which the
president v"taed.
The tariff board, therefore. vindi-
Gates the Democratic bill, If such
vindiCatiOu was necessary, which is
doubted. The Democrats knew
long before the tariff board was ere
atcd, that the wool rates were too
high, and President Taft knew II al
so, for in his speech at WinOna,
Mimi, he characterized the Payne
Aldrich wool tariff rate as indie
feasible.
president, nor the Republican party
AS whole, nor the high protection
lists will have any excuse for block
ing the present bill. II any of them
do stand in its way, they will con
vict themselves of deliberately try
ing To grant special privilege,
namely, the privilege of robbing the
consumer, To the wool trust mag
mates.
The Busted" Standard Oil Trust.
The Standard Oil company, which
the Supreme Court of the United
States solemnly "dissolved" some
few weeks ago, has declared divi-
dend of 1900 per cent. This action,
which was taken by 1.-THE Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, D." was made
for the purpose of hiding the tre-
mendous profits of the company. 1t
was what is called n stock dividend:
that is, instead of giving the share
holders so much cash, the capital
stock of the company was increased
from one million To thirty millions,
and shareholders were given the ex-
ira shares, gratis. The man who
owns one share, therefore, gets
twenty-nine additional ones, from
each of which he will draw dividends
in the future.
Since the dissolution" of the
trust, several melons of this sort
have been cut. The Vacuum Oil
"A subsidiary, recently in
creased it's stock from $500, 900 to
slj, 900 900, aud 1t is reported that the
oil company Of Kentucky
is to declare divident of 900 per
cent shortly.
Naturally" says the Wall street
journal, the official mouth piece of
Big Business, 1.-The old Standard Oil
are much elated over
the Supreme Court decree"
Yes, quite naturally!

All the Democratic candidates are

ued, when ] heard that the policemen

CUT IN POLICE FORCE.

question is as to whether 1t is entirely

| from the White House. Because of this
1t is provided that no moro appointments
shall be made until the force has been
reduced by the number assigned to
patrol duty, as result OF the White
House withdrawal. This is a species of
economy in which do not believe.
THE White House may approve of 1T.
but that Is quite natural. If someone
should suggest to the President that
some Of his guards were not necessary,
he would say. Take them away 1t is
la matter Of doubtful safety and economy

this is not the proper time to reduce

come a time when their presence at
the White House will be very essential"
