NERVE.

For unauthorized nerve you are re-
ferred to the Hon. Eugene NJ Foss.
Mr.. Foss is governor Of Massachusetts.
Though originally a republican, he has
been elected to that Office as a demo
crat, and twice reelected. A year ago
last July Mr.. Foss nourished hopes OF
receiving the democratic nomination
for president. The delegates to the
Baltimore convention received copies
Of his biography, in which he was thus
characterized:
"A true democrat-whose political
advancement has marked the gains OF
the democratic party-A genuine, dy-
manic, progressive democrat, a life
long advocate of democratic principles,
and courageous and unselfish cham
pion of democratic policies-a maker
Of democratic voters in republican
territory"
Having vigorously attacked the tariff
policy of the democratic majority in
congress, Mr. Foss might, one would
think, he eliminatde from this years
gubernatorial contest in Massachus-
etts. Not at all. The only difference
is: Mr.. Foss wants the republican
nomination. ''The sun should shine
for us republicans now" says Mr..
Foss, "for the clouds are really roll
ing away" Mr.. Foss ought to know.
He considers himself the one and only

ad valorem rates did not exceed rs or
80 per cent, differentiation and temp
tation to differentiation would dis
appear, but the record of this depart
ment for the years 1917, 1910, and
1857 do not uphold that conclusion.
James D. Power, special agent OF
the treasury, said: .Ad valorem
rates OF duty afford temptations and
opportunities for fraud which can not
be guarded against, even by the most
rigid rules and vigilant watchfulness.
The assessment of values under this
system is based upon expert knowl-
edge Of values, the most uncertain and
arbitrary method that could be de-
vised. Under the ad valorem system
fraud has prospered and demoralized
the importing trade, which has passed
from the hands Of American citizens
into the control of men who have taken
advantage of our high import duties
to enrich themselves at the expense
of the revenue and the ruined trade OF

All the railroad president has to

the grand jury or an Investigating

five, and figures out how to pare of

ners and after he has gone to bed
he gets up In the cold and apologies

The railroad president is victim Of
a mans cruelty who has tubs far been
overlooked by the S. F. p. G. A.
Railroad presidents are elected by
railroad owners to run their railroads.
They would do this happily and with
10 trouble at all If it were not for the
populace.
The people will not let railroad
presidents alone. Not content with
being allowed to ride on the cars
they write him letters when the
trains are late and, sue him when
he tries to run two trains past each
other on the same track and dis
members their relatives.
Once q railroad president was as
powerful as king, and when city
displeased him he wiped 1t of the
time table and let it wither away.
He spent his life careering gaily
over his road In private car while
the fast mail stood on side track,
and when citizen came to him, hat
in hand to ask him II he might
water a load of hogs which had
been week enroute and he got the
cold plutOcratic stare and was de-
posted on the sidewalk by the jani-
tor.
All this is now changed. When a
railroad president issues an order to
his employees congress looks 1t over
and tells him to forget it for about
six months and nine days. When
he raises his rates he is told to go
lie down and when his passenger
trains run of the track the coroners

TAXPAYERS TROUBLE ANALYzED

We hear a great deal of criticism
directed against the increased PUBIC
indebtedness and growing tax bur-
dens. The editor of the Engineering
News has analysed these complaints
and finds that the apparently adverse
conditions are due to the change from
private to public control Of industry.
The bulk Of the increase In public
debt and taxation comes because the
city, the state and the nation does for
us all now what was formerly done
by private enterprise, but none the
less at our own charge.
By way of illustration: We now
pay taxes for road and bridge con-
struction and maintenance instead OF
tolls for the use of highways and
bridges. We pay taxes for electric or
gas street lighting instead Of each
householder buying a kerosene lamp
and the oil to burn in it, and keeping
It burning on post in front of the
house on dark nights. We pay taxes
for municipal garbage and ash collec-
ton instead of hiring a private scav-
enger. These are but examples OF
long list of supplies and services now
furnished by some government body
instead OIL Wy Lllc pllNdtC u oe1OSAAe'A "
the private corporation operating un-
der franchise.
Again, public debts and taxes are
higher because the public demands
vastly more than was deemed ample
generation ago. Perhaps this is ex-
travagance in some respects; but In
others It. is public recognition Of the
fact that good public service, pure
water supply, sanitary, sewage and re-
fuse disposal and well lit and we'll
paved streets are worth what they
cost
It, is little short of nonsense to call
this change from public to private or
gantzation the growth of paternalism
in government The change is really
q part of the great cooperative
movement Of the day. OF course, in
the great shift from private to public
cooperation service q considerable in
crease in the burdens Of taxation may
fall upon men of wealth compared
with those of small means. A part of
this increase is justiflable beyond dis
rute as a contribution to the general
welfare in accordance with ability to
pay as well as in proportion to bene-
fits received.

Ap vALoREM DUTY.

Senator Theodore e. Burton OF OhlO,
In discussing the tariff bill which the
democrats expect to make law in the
near future. had the following to say
about the ad valorem system which
is used in determining the duties I'M
der the new bill:
"Our manufacturers must frequent
" make contracts for future deliveries,
often running as long as two years,
to fulfill which they must rely on their
tmportations of foreign material. 1t
will probably not be denied even by
free traders that 1t is desirable that
American manufacturers should be
successful in buying their foreign sup
plies abroad in the most favorable
possible market In order to do this
it is frequently necessary or desirable
to buy at periods Of low prices under
contracts for future deliveries, thus
obviating the necessity of heavy carry
ing charge for stocks Of raw materials.
Under the system OF ad valorem
duties these materials will have to be
assessed at the current prices at the
time and entry, Thus thrifty manu-
facturer may lose q large element OF
the benefit derived from his thrift and
foresight.
"The ad valorem. system is con-
demned by all the leading nations
wherever a considerable variety Of
articles are dutiable.
France in the first days of the re-
public tried 1t, but later abandoned it.
Henry Clay said: Let me fix the
value of foreign merchandise and do
not care what your duty is.'
practically every secretary of the
treasury, from Secretary Walker IN
Folks administration, In 1916, to the
time Of the present administration, has
advocated specific duties. Secretary
Manning, secretary Of the treasury
under President Cleveland, when re-
ductions were contemplated by the
Mills bill in 1888, said: Whatever sue
cessful contrivances are in operation
today to eyade the revenue by false
invoices, or by underva1uations, or by
any other means, under an ads valorem
system, will not cease even II the ad
valorem rates shall have been largely
reduced. They are ncontestably, they
are even VIGOROUSLY, inherent In that
system. One advantage, and perhaps
the chief advantage, of specific over
an ad valorem system is in the fact
that. under the former, duties are
levied by positive test, which can be
applied by our officers while the mer-
chandise is in possession of the gov
eminent, and according to q standard
which is altogether national and do
nestle. That would be partially true
of an ad valorem system levied upon
home value; but there are constitu-
%ionaJ> amendments in the way of such
system which appear to be impos-
sible. But under an ad valorem sys-
tenn, the facts to which the ad valorem
rate is to be applied must be gathered
in places many thousand miles away,
