THE PEOPLES FORUM
PEOPLE SHOULD
PAY FOR ELECTIONS
Corporations Would Then Be on
Same Level as ANY
Citizen.
Washington. Oct. 4. Isl

Washington, Oct T. 1872.
To the Editor: The pending investiga-
ton by Senator CIapp and facts de-
veloping in various ways demonstrate
that for many years our elections. both
State and national. have been carried by
contributions Of money made by cor
porations and wealthy individuals rather
regardless Of party Now, those who pay
for a thing generally own it. and ought
to.
II the people Of the United States want
to own their government the next four
years they better pay the expenses OF
electing 1.-THE President and all other
officers. both State and national-them-
selves. Every one. according 10 his or
her means. who desires to live under
good government should contribute to
defray the expenses upon precisely the
same principle that ordinary taxes are
paid. n
II the people choose to sell their gov
eminent TO Messrs. Morgan. Rockefeller,
Ryan. and the rest rather than pay the
expenses of electing it themselves, why
let them suffer the consequences and
forever hold their peace about II. 1t isn't
fair to make the corporations pay for
electing 1t and then cheat them out OF a
government which they have bought and
paid for in hard cash.
don't blame Mr.. Morgan for weeping
on the witness stand before the whole
world when he thought the base in
gratitude OF the people whose elections
and governments he and others have
bought and paid for so many years
Taft has gone short of money now be-
cause he has administered the govern
ment in the interest OF the people, al
though the corporations elected IL, and
yet he wouldn't let them have it.
George R. Sheldon says they paid about
IS per cent of the cost. and the rich fell
lows no doubt practically all the rest
Now is the time to reform.
The elephant and the donkey are both
starving. Only the bull moose has any
fodder. The Harvester Company seems
to be reaping great crops for him.
1t is time that States and individuals
In every community took hold OF this ALL
important campaign. II the people ex-
pect good government or even to pre-
serve liberty itself. they must pay for
their own elections
States sacrifice their rights when they
surrender the conduct of even Presi-
dental campaigns chiefly to National
Committees and compel them to raise
money to pay the expenses. The Con-
stitution requires the States to appoint
the electors. A dominating national
management is a usurpation of the rights
of the people of every State, and to per-
nit such management is neglect of
Constitutional duty by the people them
selves. Let each one of us throughout
our country forward some campaign con-
tribution. and so pay for and own our
government during the next four years.
Then Mr.. Morgan can wipe his weep
ing eyes" as the hymn says Let us all
who do not forever hold our peace what
ever happens. What a power of good L
could do with a little money for the
now.

Declines to Die.

The obstinate refusal of the Republi.
can party to die is fat defiance of the
highest medical authority as represented
by DR.. Roosevelt, who on last Saturday
pronounced the Republican party dead
He turned to his Southern audience
with the verdict, "The Republican
party is dead" But the party itself per.
sists in saving that, like the Irishman
it may be dead, but is not conscious OF
it. 1t has a will to live which, after
DR.. Roosevelt's sentence of death, is
positively wicked. Why can it not be
resigned" and give up the struggle
Instead, we see it acting as If it wers
very much alive, raising money, work
ing like beavers, even pretending to be
cheerful.
President Taft actually has the i'm
pudence to assert that it is the third
party which is dying, and that the Re
publicans are getting more vigorous
and hopeful every day. Such effrontery
naturally troubles DR.. Roosevelt, who
announces that he can prove by many in
fallible signs that life is extinct.
Observing from his platform at
Springfield, Mo, a campaign banner
bearing the name of the President OF
the United States, Mr.. Roosevelt said
Any man who supports the receiver
Of stolen goods stands on level with
the receiver of the stolen goods. He
is a dishonest man, and is unfit to as
sociate with honest men.
We wonder how many readers OF
this remark said to themselves, when
they laid their papers down, who is
the liar!"
We call these incidents to mind in
the light of the comment made upon the
President by Gov. Wilson, the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency.
Speaking at Minneapolis, in a part Of
the country where Mr.. Taft is unpopu-
lar, he had criticised the policies of the
Republican administration. But he
added:
l want to pay my tribute of respect to
the President of the United States. |
do not believe that any man in the
United States who knows his facts can
question the patriotism or the integrity
or the public purpose of the man who
now presides at the executive Office in
Washington.
We doubt if there was single lis
tener to that utterance or a single
reader of it who did not say to himself:
This is a magnanimous campaigner,
and a gentleman"

Market Value of Humans.
From the New York Mail

Fun the New York Mail.
What is a human life worth? Certainly
very little progress has been made to-
ward standardizing the valuation OF the
average human being. Doctors disagree,
and SO do the courts. The Medical Record
says that a State board Of health re-
Gently estimated the value of a baby at
1900. A college professor held It to be
worth $4,000 But another college pro-
fessor held the value of a man to be but
so. A German scientist computes the
average man to be worth SEQ to SIS
Where lies the truth? The fact is that
probably the value varies 50 enormously
with individuals and with the time and
the place that there is no striking an
average.
The value of a man is really a kind OF
balance struck between the estimate that
he puts IN himself and the valuation that
his enemies and detractors put upon him.
Jones rates himself very high-but his
neighbors mark him way down. And
there are times probably. when ever
the so man feels marked down to about
20 g.
