has no charms for 1t. A recent issue
says: MANY good Democratic breth-
rem cannot see why il Is that the Pro
gressives do not throw themselves
joyousy into the loving embrace Of
the Democratic party. A little Incl
dent OF the past few days ought to
explain much. In 1912 all three
parties declared for a law prohibiting
child labor Against such law there
can be absolutely no argumcnt-and
there has been none. Yet the law has
not been passed. II has not been
passed because the Democatic party
is dominated by the south, and the
south is the most hopelessly standpat
section Of this nation. President
" ilson is trying to prod the senate
into the passage Of the child labor
bill. But the southern senator's who
control the Democratic party remain
obdurate. Child labor is needed by
their wealthy cotton manufacturing
constituents and therefore the rh.ld
labor bill must die. If the grip Of the
southern redctionaries on the Demo
cratic party can be broken then per
haps Progressivcs will pe attracted
into the party" The Eagles position
only illustrates one Of the several
REASONS why the Democrats canrot
hope to win over the Bull Moose vote.
They know too wen that the soft
words Of invitation are only to cover
IN the innate antagonism of the
party to anything that IS practically
progressive.

CAPITAIIZING INDIFFERENCE.

In times past many propositions
have failed on a referendum vote be
cause not enough votes were cast, al
though a majority Of those cast might
have been favorable to the measure
There has often been a public indif-
ference TO the result that has led
many to fail to vote either yes OF no,
ard the proposition would fail not
because the people voted against it.
but because they did not express their
preference. The supporters OF the. new
election law making the hteracy' test
criterion of suffrage rights have
made sure that such a thing will not
happen in this instance. Every vote
put in the ballot box will be counted
as in it's favor except those which are
Enthusiastically against IT, and all those
who are too sareless OF too indiffer-
emf TO mark their ballot on this ques-

THE WISCONSIN IDEA.

Some states are represented in tho
national lawmaking body and some
are miTepresentcd. Wisconsin is in
the latter class, at least as concerns
the senate. II is one OF the tricks of
the demagogue who seeks TO retain a
leading place without regard to prin-
ciple to assume a position Just a lit
tie off color and emphasize that as
the biggest thing in the nation.
Should he follow what is right and
just, the high places are all taken up
and nc must keep "A back seat. with
him the ambition is that it is better
to be a leader of error than n servant
o. -Suth That seems to be what is
ailing Mr. LaFolette. SO nearly has
his sun of popularity set that he is
forced to create a diversion In order
to remind the people OF the United
States that he is still here and still
drawing salary as senator from
Wisconsin The senator has taken q
position In antagonizing the Wilson
program for preparedness that puts
him in direct opposition to the plat
forms Of Republican, Democratic anC
Progressive parties. lie can get M
sympathy or affiliation unless he goei
into the Socialist or Prohibition party
where placid nonresistance is regard
ed as virtue. But, white the latte
have declared against preparedness
and denounced the platform declara
-tions OF both the old parties. they bas,
their opposition on what they reglr,
as a principle. with the senator from
Wisconsin IL is not SO. He depends
for his ammunition on stirring NJ
jealousy and harping ON the popula
prejudice against any rich man get
ting any more money. Somebody i
bound TO profit by the making OF wa
munitions. ana for this reason Mr. Ia
Toilette holds that they should not h
made. Taking his cue from the So
cialists. he declares that every stel

fense is premeditated plot Of bi

senator OF possessing any patriotism
but he needn't think everybody els

JUSTIFIED BY EvENUE NEEDS
Tax Amendment VIII Make Revenue
Increase POssible-Has Done SO
In Other States.

VIII system of classifying personal
property for taxation raise large reve-
nues from intangible personally now
largely escaping assessment?
Absolutely, says the Chicago Herald.
The experience of every state adopting
the principle Of classification to any
extent proves it.
For instance?
In Baltimore abandoning the general
property tax and adopting classified
ton resulted in increasing the assess
ment on the stocks, bonds and certifi-
Gates of foreign corporations from &c.
100000 in 1896 to $2OS. 431, 712 in 1915;
the public revenue from $130,65O to
$937,942.
Another example?
The Minnesota tax commission in
1914 reported an increase in assess
ment OF intangible personally from
$14,000,OO0 In 1910 to $196,500,00O in
1914-about 1900 per cent in four
years-resulting from abandoning the
general property tax and acting on the
principle OF classification.
Another?
Official reports from New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and divers
other states where personally is treat
ed for tax purposes differently from
realty demonstrate the revenue value
OF the change. In Pennsylvania during
the last rs years the intangible person
atty assessment has actually increased
faster than the realty assessment.
The pending tax amendment might
then be justified sufficiently on revenue
grounds alone?
1t unquestionably might.

VOTERS SHOULD VALUE SELF.
GOVERNMENT ENOUGH
TO VOTE.

Suppose that some agitator or re-
former should suggest that the people
be deprived of their right to vote upon
amendments to the state constitution!
How would the people receive such a
suggestion? Would they accept 1t
kindly and acquiesce in it? Is it not
more likely that they would raise a
great cutlery against it and insist that
such change would be destructive OF
their right of self-government? But,
while the people would receive a prop
osition of this sort with indignation,
too often there is tendency for them
to go to the polls when constitutional
amendments and other important mat
tiers are to be voted upon and refuse or
fail to exercise their right to vote. The
only danger that confronts the pro.
posed Tax Amendment to the constitu.
ton is the failure of the voters to ex.
press themselves. There is danger that
those who believe that it ought to ba
adopted will fail to mark their ballots
according to their convictions. The
amendment, to be adopted, must have
a majority of all of the electors vot-
ing at the election at which it is sub.
mitted.
