THE TRIBUNE'S HUMoR.

The Morning Tribune, in its issue of

display its peculiar sense of humor. In
an article discussing council proceedings
the nationality of the speaker was in
Dictated by the use of the word "yustice.'
The Tribune is no doubt aware that
there is large Scandinavian population
in Everett which is justly proud of its
ancestry Such an amateur attempt to
be funny is painful 1t does not hurt
the feelings of the councilman in ques-
ton, but it shows the straits to which a
daily may be pushed to fill its pages.
The Tribune chortles with glee over
the fact that Councilman Miller refers
to "your city" How should we poor So
cialists refer to the city of Everett. We
certainly do not own it. We do not

the socialist movement and no political
trading. At the present time this is

Until that time we expect the Tribune
to continue to deride what it does not
understand.

Do NOT blame the income tax as
SCISSORS for fighting for their jobs.
They have good thing, and they know
it, and will fight hard to retain it. The
person to blame is yourself, Mr.. Tax
payer, for you furnished the votes that
elected the men who created the in
come tax assessors. Anybody who has
a nice, easy job and good pay would be
a chump to throw it up just because it
is burden on the people,. Nothing in
the world will cause man to forget
the people, forget that he was once one
of them, forget his poor, struggling
friends, so quickly as public job with
good pay. The income tax assessors
in trying to hold onto their jobs, are
acting like human beings who have the
best of the bargain and are going to
keep it. Because they are satisfied is
very good reason why the taxpayer
should not be satisfied. He is footing
the bills, paying the per diem of the
fair card-indexing lassies, and then the
chiefs salary besides. And what is he
getting in return? Tell us, for we who
are paying the fiddler have a right to
know. -Stoughton Courier-Hub.

THE slogan of the republican national
committee, Better be safe than sor-
ry," should appeal strongly to the vot-
ers. 1t is something they will do we'll
to think and ponder over. The country
at the present time is enjoying unpsr-
alleled prosperity. The mills, mines
and factories are running full time, and
in practically every line of industry
there is work for every man who is
willing to work. The great railroad
systems, the arteries of trade in the
country, are handling more traffic than
they ever did in their history. Com
merce is thriving, and the farmer, the
mechanic and the laboring man are all
being well paid for their work. We
are just on the eve of the greatest
wave of prosperity that the country
has experienced in fifteen wears. Do
we want to check that wave now or
allow it to spread throughout the land?
1t is up to the voters to decide Novem-
Der 9th. The country is juet beginning
to reap the benefits of the wise and
conservative administration of Presi-
dent Taft, When he took the reins of
government, business was in a chaotic
condition. We are just emerging from
the panic of 1907, the ''rich man
panic. We may call it that if we
choose, but it was the poor man, as al
ways, who felt its most serious effects.
1t took three years of patient work to
repair the damage to the country done
by that panic and now that the damage
has been repaired, do we want to
plunge the country into another which
probably would be much worse? We
do not believe that the great mass of
the working men of the country desire
such a condition.

LET us quote from the history of the
American people, regarding that era of
Free-Trade 1t is one of the most elo-
quent passages in all history. Here it is:
"a great poverty and depression had
come upon the western mining regions
and upon the agricultural regions of
the West and South. Prices had fallen.
Men of the poorer sort were idle every
where and filled with sort of despair.
All of the larger cities and manufact-
uring towns teemed with unemployed
workingmen, who were with the ut
most difficulty kept from starvation by
the systematic efforts of organized
charity. Not until the very year 1897,
when the Republican administration
came in, did the crisis seem past. -
Who wrote that? Why, Woodrow Will
son wrote it in his "History of the
American People, He wrote it when
he was historian and not thinking of
ever being a candidate. He wrote 1t
because it was the truth. Read ii
again, now that you know who wrote it.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-10-25

THE Madison Democrat, non-parti-
san paper in politics, sounds a timely
warning in the following: ''It scarcely
will prove profitable in the long run for
non-tax-paying politicians glibly to dub
as reactionists all who rebel at this
sheer doubling of state taxation during
a single decade. The pocketbook of
the people is being picked altogether
too freely to have the operation longer
obscured by a cheap resort to nisap-
piled epithets." 1t is the fashion of
McGovern and other holding, non
tax-paying fellows to yelp Tory, reac-
tionary and other threadbare slurs at
all who dare to express an opinion on
matters of state affecting the people.
Tax payers are commanded to shut UP
and crawl into their holes.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-10-25

The Saturday Evening Post points
out bad defect in our income tax lies
in the inability of the state to collect
such tax except at its source of in
come, and where the source lies outside
the state it cannot be done. A law
nation wide in its scope that hits all
alike may be fair but state income
tax is Just the opposite.

A POPULAR thing these DAYS is to get

A POPULAR thing these days is to get
a reassessment of some city or county
and the tax commission is apparently
ready to order them on almost any kind
of pretext. 1t provides a soft job
for some needy politicians as we'll as to
satisfy some disgruntled property own
er who thinks his neighbor may not be
paying his full share of taxes. And in
the end the city or county pays the

WILL DISCUSS
LEGISLATION
COMMITTEE OF COMMERCIAL AS
ISOLATION MAY RECOMMEND
THE PASSAGE OF SEVERAL
LAWS AT THE NEXT SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE.

Several matters of importance will
be discussed at a meeting of the leg
islative committee Of the Pensacola
Commercial Association to be held this
afternoon at 4 o'clock in the commit
tee rooms of the association in the
Brent building.
One Of the important subjects which
will be discussed and considered at
length is Vancouver's plan of exempt
ing improvements from taxation as a
means of encouraging manufacturing
enterprises. 1t is possible that the as
ISOLATION will attempt to secure legis-
lation which will enable the CONNER
cial Association to offer manufacturers
exemption from taxation for a certain
period as an inducement to locate in
Pensacola.
Another important matter to be
considered is House Bill No. 5S7, call
ing for an investigation to ascertain
whether or not certain railroads and
certain steamship lines have formed a
combination in southern ports.
The committee will also discuss the
law recently enacted by the state of
Louisiana, exempting American ships
sailing out of Louisiana ports from
taxation, and it may be recommended
that an effort be made to have such a
law enacted in Florida at the next ses-
sion of the legislature.
The proposed organization of the
West Florida Commercial Association
will also be considered, as well as a
number OF other subjects.

LOCATION IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN SUCCESS OF MILL

New London, Conn, Sept. 11.-One
of the most important factors in the
success of a cotton mill is its loca-
tion, Albert T. Scott, of Boston, today
told the delegates to the semi annual
meeting Of the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers in session at
Eastern Point.
Thought must be given, not only to
the making of money" he said, but
also to the health and comfort of the
operatives. While not generally so
considered, I believe that at bottom,
the underlying fundamentals of good
economies and morals are one, and
that a healthful mill location and com
Portable conditions of working and
living of the operatives will bring in
profits for the mill, none the less real
because they are indirect"

ARMY LIEUTENANT KILLED
WHEN AEROPLANE FELL

Dresden, Saxony, Sept. 11.-Lieuten-
ant Siebert, an aviator attache to the
red army in the imperial maneuvers
now in progress in Saxony, fell with
his aeroplane while scouting today and
was killed. His companion, Lieuten-
ant Zimmerman, was seriously in
jured.
Five of the six red army aeroplanes
have been disabled while carrying out
military orders. The dirigible balloons
are proving very satisfactory. En-
peror William and the members Of the
imperial suite were the invited guests
at noon of a company of privates.
His majesty relished the bean soup
and other rations served to the men.
