OUR SENATORS.

1t is gratifying, indeed, TO know
that the Fifteenth district has such
able representatives in the State Leg
stature, and that they are recogni2-
ed by the leaders of the two parties
as men of exceptional ability. The
position these two men occupy should
be carefully studied by all because
they have been placed on the most
important committees in the upper
house.
Senator Silver heads the finance
committee. In this responsible posi-
ton he will have a great deal TO do

next two years. He will not only as,

Der Of railroad employees, in this city,
who visit Cumberland almost daily,

REMOVE THE TARIFF.

Remove the tariff tax from meat
and sugar, to lessen the burden of
taxation now being borne by the
poor, and place tax on the incomes
of the rich, who are not now bearing
their due proportion OF the govern
ment expense
This promises 10 Be a feature Of
the legislative program OF the Dem
ocratic 63rd Congress. Questions
asked by witnesses before the Ways
and Means committee indicated that
meats a.d sugar may so on the free
list. An income tax 10 make up for
the loss of revenue from the tariff
on meats and sugar viii soon come
into existence as a result OF the rat
ihcation of the income tax amend
ment TO the constitution by the nee
essary three-fourths OF the states.
This program should spell some
reduction in the cost of living. The
wholesale prices of sugar in London,
where there IS no tax on sugar, aver
ages two cents . pound less than in
New York. The same thing is true
OF beef The cables frequently re-
port that American beef, of which
the transportation has been paid
across the Atlantic, is being sold on
the block in London two cents less
than in the United States. This
shows how these trusts have been
taking advantage Of home Consumers
whom they have at their mercy be
cause OF the Payne-Aldrict tariff
Law.
Naturally the sugar trust and the
beef trust Will not approve a policy
of free sugar and free meat, but the
sugar trust and the beef trust will
not be in the saddle in Washington
after March

IT'S MORE iaoNEY.

At last the State Legislature is AT
work, and what will be accomplished
during the remainder Of the term is
problematical, There Is great deal
d handing attention, but the time
has grown so short 1t Is doubtful If
any legislation of worthy nature is
written on the statute books.
Governor Glasscuck recommended
many things, and urged upon the
body to give specia lattention to some
vital questions But the governor is
not at all friendly with majority of
the members, and he win not succeed
in getting results satisfactory to him
and his friends. t''
The chief burden OF the administra-
ton is money, and how to provide for
those who earn their livelihoods by
playing politics is causing much wor-
ry, and will continue so until there
IS a general change In the State
House. If the incoming administra-
ton wants to be in a position to meet
expenses, it should first get rid OF its
surplus of hangers.on.
With the present large army to
feed during the next four years there
is bound to be a deficit in the treas
ury when the State is prohibition ter
ritory and to prevent taxing the peo-
pie more than they already are, a re
duction of expenses is necessary No
business man would conduct his af-
fairs like the States business is run.
He would exercise more discretion
and Judgment. Why not run the
State ON business basis. and dis
pehse with the useless expenditures?
Governor Glasscoek was earnest in
his appeals for. money. He didn't ask
for a reduction of expenses, but in
sisted that the treasury be kept full
and running over. His only object
In this it seems is to reward the poll

LLOYD DID GREAT WoRK.

Hon. James T. Lloyd has let it be
known among his friends that he will
not stand for reelection to the chair
mans ship Of the National Democratic
Congressional commatee. Mr.. Lloyd
has served as chairman of this i'm
portant committee six years, through
three Congressional elections, which
is longer than any Democrat was
ever honored with the place.
When Mi Lloyd. who comes from
the First Missouri district and had
long been one OF the Democratic
leaders of the House. first took hold
of the craftsmanship of the Congress
sional committee, the Republicans
were in power n both brdnches Of
Congress and seemed likely to be for
many years to come. Mr.. Lloyd in
augurated plan OF cbse coopera-
tion with the Democratic candidates
for Congress that was more systemat-
ic and effective than any policy that
had ever been worked out before.
then he built up one of the largest
Democratic news syndicates in the
country
Mr. Lloyd felt the people were not
getting the Washington news from a
Democratic viewpoint, and he deter
mined to supply it to them through
the country press, not only during
campaigns, but all the time. Ever
since Mr.. Lloyd has been chairman OF
the committee, the country Demo
cratic newspapers have been furnish,

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

In his last message to the State
Legislature, Governor Glasscock rec
ommends many things, and, undoubt-
eddy, some of them are worthy of con
sideration. His idea that our educa-
tIornl institutions should receive
more attention is agreed to by all,
but the first Step that should be
taken is to dispense with some who
are connected with them. They have
been fed so long by the State that
they have come to realize that the
State owes them a livelihood. The
governor never mentioned that His
old hobby of taxing oil and gas, OF
course, came in for the usual amount
of space. but that's all it will amount
20. The Republican members of the
legislature are bound by so many
pledges that they cannot afford to
lend their influence in that direction.
Nothing new is expressed by the
chief executive. He devoted his time
to talking about old questions, and
urging upon the legislators to pro
vide more revenue for the State. In
conclusion. he laments the fact that
his administration has been an eX-
tremely stormy one, and that he mas
not been permitted to exercise con
troll over the State as he had hoped
to.

State Board Of Health.

We have State Board of Health
composed of ten very able physicians
but our law limits their expenditures
to $1,000 annualIy-hcnce it is clear
~ evident that the board is so handi-
capped by a lack of funds that it is
impossible for it to accomplish much.
The number of cases Of typhoid few
er in this state is appalling. A lead
ing physician informs me that on-
fourth of the patients OF the average
physicians are afflicted with this
disease and remember it is prevent
able disease, one caused by filth and
unsanitary conditions
This board should have sufficient
funds at its command to educate the
people to the dangers Of tubercular
infection and should have authority
to ADOPT sue Unreasonable rules and
regulations as may be necessary, in
the opinion of the board, to prevent
the spread of this disease,
recommend that you enlarge the
mower and duties OF the state board
of health and give them an appropria-
ton sufficient to enforce rules and
regulations to the end THAI the health
of the people may be conserved.
