opOi6n Local

La question de la opci6n local va

on 81 mes de Julio, para determi-
mar ST es voluntad de la mayoria
do los votantes que Sc cierren las
tabernas y SO prohiba en- absolute
la venta de de licores embriagantes.
Esta question tiene varias fases Y
Ia principal es 81 servira de algo
cerrar las tabernss cuando es i'm
possible impedir la importation de
licores y las ventss clandestinas que
son inevitables en- tales casos,
Otra question no menos importan
te, y que viene muy al caso, es ST
sera justo y prudente privar a la
ciudad y las escuelas de una
cuantiosa renta que dimana de los
licOres que SO pagan por la venta
de licores. Esta es question que
merece consideration s6ria, pues
presenta la alternative de que en-
una comunidad agobiada por las
tabernas agravantes, sea convenien.
te Y sensato para los contribuyentes
echarse encima cargas adicionales
que de ninguna manera ataian el
NAL que SO quiere evitar. Asi es
que nos parece que como los pro-
hibicionistas nada arriesgan nj pa

impuestos, seria 81 colmo de nece
sidad y de la imprudencia 81 la
mayoria de los votantes Sc dejase
lIevar por sus argucias y sofsnas
J SO echase encima un peso que no

Una PoslbiIidad

Vnelven a circular rumores a
efecto que es possible y hasta
probable que sea convocada una
session especial de la legislatu-
ra, tai vez a fines del verano. No.
sotros no acreditamos tai especie
porque nos parece que el goberna
dor deberfa abominar semejante
idea por la razon de que no condU.
ezra otra cosa que renovar la lu
cha entire los poderes executive y
Legislative. A mas de este, hay que
tener On cuenta el costo adicional
de una session de treinta diaa, que
incluyendo todas cosas no baiarfa
de 100000, y asi mismo, Sc debe
recordar que su Excelencia SO
veria otrs vez confrontado con la
question de los salaries para ofcis
les de condado. Creemos que este
por 81 solo bastarfa para impedir
que convoque session especial.

MRS. SULZER IS BLAMED;
TRACE DEALS TO HER LOAN
Members Of New York Firm Assert
That She Had Nothing to Do
With Transactions.

Albany, N Y, Oct. Evidence
that Governor Suffers stock transac-
tions with the New York brokerage
iirm of Harris & Fuller were for the
account Of Mrs. Sulzer was given at
the governors trial Tuesday The ar
ticles of impeachment charge that the
governor made use of some of his I'M
reported campaign contributions in
these transactions.
a witness declared the governor had
told him he had borrowed money from
stock exchange firm to aid his wife
in her financial difficulties. Melville
b. Fuller, head OF the brokerage firm
of Harris & Fuller. testified SuIzer in
borrowing from his firm had informed
him Mrs. Sulzer had borrowed money
from the Carnegie Trust company of
New York
In March. 1910. Mr.. Sulzer bought
100 shares of Big Four stock on mar
gins at so. Three months later Har-
ris & Fuller lent Sulzer $4,000 on a
certificate for 100 shares of Big Four.
Mr.. Sulzer had bought the stock on a
ten-polnt margin, but its decline con-
tinued until it went TO 40. Mr. Full
ler's firm advanced the governor $l4.-
012.50 on the stock, and these ad-
vances. coupled with the decline,
wiped out the account On July 26
last the governor had a debit account
of $22,664 with the firm, while his
holdings then had market value OF
$2S.S00.
Governor Sulzer won triple victory
over his accusers at his impeachment
trial here Monday.
Presiding Judge Cullen OF the high
court barred the introduction of evil
dence intended to prove that the gov
ernor had made a corrupt political
bargain with Assemblyman Patrie of
Greene county. He held also that the
testimony brought forward to show
that Sulzer had made similar bargains
with Assemblyman Sweet OF Oswego
and Assemblyman Prime of Essex was
incompetent.

Must Be- work - Exn.rts-

There will never be consistent.
uniform and scientific tariff revision
until the rule is adopted that congress
shall enact the principle on which the
tariff shall be framed and non parti-
san experts shall fix the rates which
conform to that principle. 1t is the
function of congress to say whether
the rates shall be for revenue with
incidental protection, for protection
only to the wages OF labor, or for pro
lection to exclude all foreign compe-
tition. That is the part of the tariff
question that cannot and should not
be taken out of politics
But when that principle is enacted
the labor of settling what rates carry
out the principle is for experts. Under
the present system no tariff bill for
decades has been true to its professed
principle in all its parts.

Calls for Explanation.

While the banana tax is sbeing set
tied by President Wilson, IL he is to
settle it, we hope that he will also
undertake to make perfectly clear the
real reasons for taking the banana
duty out of the tariff measure. So
far as we are concerned we think that
the masses who eat the bananas daily
ought to have the benefit of the doubt.
If there is any possible chance that
the banana tax or any part of it would
come out of the pockets of the poor
man, we should be in favor Of avoid
ing the risk by killing the banana
duty. But the Democratic senators
who passed the tax said there was no
risk Yet they were making tariff
for Mr.. Wilson, who undoubtedly
thinks there is a tax.

plain Fact Remains.

Existing conditions do not lead us
to believe that free trade will bring
about any different results now from
those which have appeared in the past
A policy which is intended primarily
to expand imports must necessarily
limit the demand for homemade pro
auctions, This is the avowed object
of the new free trade tariff. The
president so declares. II is, he tells
US, the emancipation Of the business
of the country from oppression. This
is the academic view.
But the fact remains that trouble
begins when our wage earners face
closed workshops and factories run
ming on half time. The president viii
live long enough to ascertain this fact
and possibly to realize that only when
our wage earners are well employed
can our country be prosperous.

NOT FOR THE PEOPLE
Democratic Tariff sill Is Distinct

Vital Needs of the Country Disregard
ed in the Measure So Loudly Pro
claimed as Redeeming Cam
pafen Promises.

When the Democrats boast that their
tariff bill was so framed as TO square
with their campaign professions. they
admit very important point against
the bill
They are giving the country po-
htical tariff. not a scientific tarif adj
jusred to economic and business con-
ditioas
1t vas framed in secret caucus on
the sole principle of cutting the
schedules to the bone in order to meet
a lot of reckless political promises.
1t is not tariff for revenue-yery
far from it. It is tariff for politics.
1t will fail even in that particular.
It is a tariff for very short sighted
politics
Why, for one thing. the farmers of
the country win be up in arms
against 1t in the next congressional
elections, and Mr. Wilson will have a
Republican house on his hands as sure
as sunrise
The farmers would not stand for
Taft's reciprocity, which would shave

Of her farm products to our markets.
How much the more will they storm
against this bill which gives Canada
that ingress free-gratis and for moth

gutter"

Gratis Opposed Act.

Presidents Compromise on Tax Of
Cotton Futures Goes Through
Measure Is Now Up to
the Senate.

Washington. Oct. 2.-The Demo
cratic tariff revision bill left the
bJuse on Tuesday on what the party
leaae.s hoped would be its last jour
ney 10 the senate. After many hours
OF debate the house adopted the main
conference agreement on the bill, 254
10 1913.
Party lines were drawn closely in
the final vote. In passing the bill the
Democratic majority received the as.
sistance of seven Baltz
and Mcdonald, Michigan; Kelly and
Ripley, Pennsylvania: Kent. Califor.
MIA; Manahan. Minnesota. and Stat
ford. Wisconsin.
Democrats voting against the bill
were Donohue. Pennsylvania; Brous-
sard. Morgan and Lazaro. Louisiana.
Donohue opposed the measure because
of the manufacturing interests In his
Pennsylvania district and the Louis
lana representatives were continuing
their fight against the sugar schedule
of the bill.
After a bitter fight Underwood Sc
cured the substitution of President
Wilson's compromise for the Clark
amendment to tax deals in cotton fu-
lures
The compromise standardizes nine
grades of cotton running above the
middling grades. the kind in greatest
demand because of its use by spin
ners. and imposes a nominal stamp
tax OF so cents hundred bales on
cotton market operations within such
grades.
On market operations outside Of the
standardized grades a tax OF one
tenth of one cent a pound is imposed
This Tax is expected to restrict gam
bling operations
The secretary OF agriculture Is to
fix the standard grades and the sec
rotary OF the treasury is to make reg.
ulations for the imposition and coflec-
ton OF the stamp tax.
The form of contracts to be used
in the market operations are set forth
and heavy penalties are fixed for their
violation.
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York and southern members opposed
both the Clark and Wilson amendment
because Of the threatened blow to cot
ton exchanges. but we're defeated In
an attempt to pledge the house against
any cotton futures Legislation at the
time by vote of 203 to 1877.
Wingo. Arkansas. and Garner, Tex
as. led the fight for acceptance of the
Clark amendment. but were defeated.
The Wilson compromise was agreed
70 by a vote of III to 161.
The tariff bill. with the exception
Of the cotton futures amendment. will
be rushed to the senate and final vote
on the bill. with rejection of the VIII
son compromise, is expected by the
end OF the week.
This day begins a quarter OF
century OF nnbroken Democratic SUI
premacy." declared Speaker Clark in
the closing speech to the house on
the passage on the tariff bill. 1T is
the elimination OF one OF the longest
and hardest fights in the history of
American politics
