career is not yet told. His best
known work was to supervise the
expenditure of 5000, ,0OO, 900 which
converted Rio De Janerio from a
tropical pesthole into healthful
city and the most beautiful in the
western hemisphere.
In this work one Of his feats was
the construction of q boulevard
whose Portuguese name means
Central Avenue. 1t runs squarely
through the heart of the business
section. Ten years ago it's route
was q tangle Of narrow, evil SMELL
ing streets, the property on which
was owned by rich landlords VINO
rented II to the poor.
As soon az the landlords found
out that DR.. Muller was planning
his Central Avenue they promptly
boosted their valuations. The total
price was staggering, too high to
make the construction of the street
possible. s..
Possible from the United States
standpoints, that ia DR. Muller sim
ply went to tha tax books Of the
city, took the low value which the
landlords had set on their properties
for taxation purposes, and expro-
priated a right Of way on that
basis. The property owners howl
ed, but Bazilisn public opinion

q Democrat, and a life long resi-
dent Of the West; as such l must
applaud Senator Newlauds for bis
stand on the tariff bill now under
discussion in the Senate. The rank
and file of the Democrats of Neva-
da are with him in that stand They
are not all Belfords who, by reason
of their corporate connections ex-
pect political advancement and
criticise Senator Newland's Demo-
cracy-that they may thereby pro-
fit. Whether Newlands attitude is
in line with Democracy and justice
is not to be determined by sarcasm,
railing at special interests, or quo
tation of excerpts, but by a thought
full consideration of the very matter
at issue
Reading Belford's article, one
would think that the Democratic
party was committed to the policy
Of free trade. Notaing is further
from the truth The free trader Is
as extinct as the Dodo, unless Bel
ford be one. The Democratic Party
under President Wilson stands for
revenue. The platform, the
speeches Of the President and the
present tariff bill demonstrate this
The Democratic party proposes to
reduce the tariff so that monopo-
lies may no longer grow and shelter
themselves hereunder, and further
proposes to so distribute the tariffs
burden that each article, whether
raw or manufactured, will bear it's
just proportion of taxation. Il 10
only just that every industry and
product should pay its fair proper
tion Of the cost of maintaining the
government The Democratic doc
trine is that there should be
small free list, revenue tariffs
on the remainder and no protective
while the Republican Doc
trine is the contrary, the free list
should be larger and all tariffs pro-
tective in high degree, or, as
Newlands phrases it, diminish
ment Of the area of duties in order
that the magnitude of the duties
may be increased Thus Relford's
wall against Newland's attitude
on the revision of the tariff is d.
rected against the true Demoncntic
party. The tariff bill advocated
by the President contains duties up
on almost everything, and if Bel
ford thinks, as he writes, he is
without party
When all hysteria. prejudice and
attempts to create political capital
are taken from the question, it is
this: Shall wool and sugar receive
the same Democratic treatment as
the products of the Eastern and
middle Western states upon which,
an average duty Of 25 per cent re-
mains or shall the wool growers
and sugar raises be singled out for
destruction In its ultimate analysis
the only question involved is one
of discrimination against Western
products. Is discrimination against
the west a Democratic doctrine Mf
Belford? Does Senator Newlands
deserve praise or abuse for his
determined stand against this dis
elimination? Ia he not right when
he protests against this needless
sacrifice of the sugar and wool in
dustries? 1t is expressly admitted
by the advocates of free wool and
sugar that the sugar industry will
be destroyed and .ho wool industry
crippled If their views
