be at his command If the New York police
attempt to take possession of him, and
that yesterday and today he was rather
anxious TO meet the men from the district

minute since his arrest. he has talked
little except to the officers who have
been with him, and in these CONVERSE

"A hundred million dollar increase In

and brought them to a realization of
what has been done to them through
all the years OF the past. AS certainly
as truth, though crushed to earth, will
rise, just 30 certainly will there be
further awakening which will correct
abuses equally as great as unequal
taxation, and its effect will be that
henceforth every man who would hold

mo one doubts, had William Goebel
been permitted to live, that that which
was recently done by the Board of
Valuation and Assessment would have
been done more than a decade ago,
and today, instead of the large public
service corporations fighting in the
courts and by sinister methods en-
deavoring to perpetuate unjust and un-
equal taxation; attempting to throttle
the action Of the present State taxing
board, the first to act fully in the in

would long ago have been paying into
the State. county and city treasures
their just proportion Of the taxes.

William GoebePs Way.
Had William Goebel been per
mitted to live, one Of his first acts as
Governor would have been a demand
on the State taxing boards to delvt
into the matter of values of the prop
critics of the wealthy public service
corporations Of the State. and further
that those properties be adequately
assessed. II the Railroad Commission
or Board OF Valuation and Assess
ments had failed or declined to make
assessments according 70 what was
just and fair he would instantly have
called an extra session Of the legisla
ture and had It appoint a committee
with directions TO thoroughly investi
gate. TO nnd and report the true fair
value OF the property OF such corpora
tons. The facts thus obtained and
presented by that committee and its
experts he would have given to the
public and simultaneous Herewith
would have gone forth his demand
upon those State boards to assess
those properties for taxation In &C
cordance with the truth; II then the
State board had still failed or refused
to do their sworn duties to the people
he would have impeached them and
driven them from Office. II the present
Board of Valuation and Assessment
had not done its full sworn duty by
the people, that is Just what should
have been done to them, but thank
God, for once 1t has acted in the In.
terest of the people.
Necessity for action In the interest
of the people has grown as years have
passed. until 1t has developed into

HILLES WANTS TO HEAR FROM
DEMOCRATS ON THE TARIFF

Beverly, Mass, Sept 27.-Chairman
Hilles, of the Republican national COM
mittee, after day with president Taft
and New England leaders, issued a
statement taking issue with governor
Woodrow Wilson and declaring that
his views on free trade and protec-
ton were to be measured by the eff
feet upon business conditions. 9Ir.
Hilles said in part:
I see it is intimated by governor
Wilson that the Republican party is
trying to evade discussion on the tar
if. 1t seems to me that in that re-
spect the boot is on the other leg. I
have yet to find in any of the Demo-
cratic speeches a clear definition Of
what they propose to do in regard to
the tariff if they control the govern
ment. There have been a great many
piatitudes talked and expressions ut
tered of interest to the workingmen,
but it has not yet been pointed out
how they purpose a revision of the
tariff to a revenue only point without
injury to existing industries
4 think it is becoming clear to the
business community and the working
men that wasting their votes upon the
third party candidates is just as dan
gerOus to the preservation of the pro-
tective principle as voting directly for
the opposition candidates."

HEAD OF MORMON CHURCH
PRAISES PRESIDENT IT


salt Lake City, Utah. Sept. pa po-
MticaI sensation was caused here by
the publication of signed article in
which Joseph F. Smith. president OF
the Mormon church says:
Should the people call him (preSl-
dent Taft once again to the pres1den-
tial chair, it is not likely that they will
regret il"
President Smiths article. appeared in
the Improvement Era, Organ of the
Priesthood QuOrums, the Young Mems
Mental Improvement association and
the Schools of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints"
No reasonable citizen writes presi-
dent Smith, can in any way find fault
with the present administration. PreSi-
dent william H. Taft has met the just
needs of the people and the economic
demands of the country with steadfast-
ness and wisdom"
After praising the president for his
policy of non-intervention in Mexico,
the article continues:
The only charge Of any consequence
that the opponents of president Taft
bring against him is that he has been
and is a tool of the interests, which
means, doubtless, that he unduly favors
big business" or trusts His admins
tration has proved the contrary and
the careful student will find that he
has done as much to regulate the trusts
as was ever done by any other incum-
bent of the presidential chair, and he
has done it legally.
whatever may be the outcome Of
the peoples choice" the article con-
cludes, 1T is clear that president Taft
has made a good president and his ad-
ministration has been a success.
