Let US Have the Proof.


the real facts or make an effort to
ascertain the truth of the matter,
again charges that Representa-
tive Gum voted against the two
cent rate bill. Our esteemed con-
temporary also says in substance
that the Irvine Sun helped elect
Mr.. Gum, railroad representa-.
tive. We are not concerned as to
what the Times says about us,
but in defense of Mr.. Gum, we
wish to state that if the editor of
the Times had read the March
Goth issue of the Sun and Estill
Tribune, both of which are sent
to him regularly, he would have
noticed that both papers carried
an editorial stating that Mr..
Gum had voted for the 2-cent
bill.
Mr.. Gum voted for the 2-cent
bill as long as it was before the
House, and then voted for 2 1-2c
bill, which carried. The clerk
calling the roll failed to hear Mr..
Gum answer, and next day the
press reports failed to show our
representative as voting on the
question either way. Mr.. Gum
can prove by members who sat
near him that he did vote for the
bill.-Irvine Sun.
The Times stated in its issues
of March II and 10 that our Rep
resentative Gum voted against
the 2 cent bill. The Sun seems
to think we should have investi-
gated the facts before we pub
lished this. statement, and fur
-thef doesthe Sun say that the
press reports failed to show Mr..
Gum as voting either way.
The vote in the House was ia
ken March 8. The Courier Jour
nal, Kentucky's leading daily, on
March 10 published the yea and
nay vote or this measure, and
Mr.. Gum is in the nay vote. For
the convenience of our friend,
the Sun, who appears to have
not seen this report, we will say
he will find it, as stated above,
IN the Courier-JOurnal of March
10, and on the first page, the
fifth column, and Mr.. Gums
name is 1874 inches from the top
of the column with all others
voting against the 2 cent bill.
Though the vote was taken March
., the Sun seems to think that
the Times should have waited
until after its iss1e of March 20
when Mr.. Gum denied his vote,
to investigate the matter.
The Courier-JOurnal said, the
day after the vote was taken,
that MIR. Gum voted against the
2 cent bill, and his vote was so
counted. Mr.. Gum says eleven
days after the vote was taken,
and even after the Legislature
had adjourned, that he voted for
the 2 cent bill. Now whom shall
we believe?
The vote on the q cent bill did
not show Mr.. Gum voting either
way, aud he may have voted for
the % cent bill. The p cent
bill was not opposed by the l.. d
N. railroad, as this road had al
Leady been virtually forced to
these rates by the laws of states
not controlled by the road.
The records, without doubt
will show that Mr.. Gum voted IA
gainst the = cent bill, but If he
can prove, as he says he can, that
he did vote for the 2 cent bill,
we will, without charge to him,
publish such proof, We desire
to treat Mr.. Gum fairly, and if
tie Courier-Journal published
his vote wrong, he should have
it corrected through that medi.
um, but until this is done, there
will be very serious doubts a.
bout the way Mr.. Gum voted ON
this very important bill.

London. Dec. 2o-The con- victian is growing that the British fleet is preparing for a great raid on the German fleet and Notifications. Every ship yard in the country is be- ing rushed with preparing the ships of the fleet for action, loading on board immense quantities of ammunition and general supplies. The com plement nf every vessel is be- ing filled to the limit, men being taken from the merchant marine. Almost all of the larg CT vessels have lbeen fitted with an apparatus for launching and landing aeroplanes, the duty of which is to guard a. gainSt submarine attacks. The result of the raid of Christmas Day on the German coast was so satisfactory that the people of the country are demanding further action by the fleet.

Washington, Dec. 20-The report of the Alaska Railroad Commission was made public this morning. It favors the building at once of railroad from Ship Creek to uhe Mat anuska coal fileds, and later one extension south to either Portage Bay or Seward, and another north to Fairbanks. Thep probabilities are that Con- gress will be asked for an im- mediate appropriation of five millions of dollars for~ this work. There is every likli- hood that the recommendations of the Commission will be fol loNed out to the letter, which means that both Valdez and Cordova will not be considered in any way. This coming after the proffer of the Copper Riv- CT road absolutely free of charge by the Guggenheims makes it appear that he latter had advance information on what the report was to be.

This is the result, largely of the de- mand by the copper interests of the United States that the embargo on that metal be rais- ed and it be treated as are other commodities.

Austrians Defeated In Calicia

St. Petersburg, Dec. 29-The official announcement was made today that the Russian arms administered de- feat Co the Austrian armies in Galicia, so that they are now in retreat. The same source is responsible for the statement that the Germans are now on the defensive between the Nistula and the Pilica riv- CTS, their advance having been stopped by the threatened cut ting of their lines of communi- cation tby the Cossacks.

Federal officials and bank of

Federal officials and bank of ficials and others, including attorneys. are trying hard to get clear understanding of the ndw revenue stamp law what includes, does not in clude and the amount to be af- fixed in every instance.
 One of the interesting fea- lures which the steamboat men ran against is the fact that everyone buying a ticket to foreign port must put up a dollar extra for each ticket.
 It is figured out that no revenue stamp need be affiX- ed to mortgages. On deeds the tax is 50 cents for every s100 value or fraction thereof up to $500 and an additional 50 cents for each additional St .000. Powers Of attorney and notes of protest are 9 cents flat each. Promissorv notes are also taxable.
 There is a difference Of op- inion regarding individual bonds furnished by Bonding companies, whether these are taxable against the company issuing them or against the in dividuals in whose favor they are issued. Officials who give bonds amounting to s2.OOO and $ 5000 will feel the bur- den. Naturally they would ike to see the bonding com Danies assume the burden.
 However, special instrnc- lions are being received from time to time by the different departments and in n short time the war stamp tax will be working so smoothly that the people will scarcely realize fl IS i'll existence.
