ELKO EDITORS AGAIN
"PUT ON THE GLOVES

The registration books at the office
of Justice of the Peace H. U. Castle
show that George B. Russell, the edi-
tor of the Elko Daily IndeDendent is
registered as a Republican. For a
long time an effort has been made to
smoke Foxy George out, and the
fact that he has qualified to vote as a
Republican will be interesting to
many-ospecially the Democrats of
Flko county. who will be tickled to
death to know that their official or
gan is in the hands of a lifelong Re-
publican. The Republicans will be
glad to know that George had enough
gratitude in his makeup to stay with
the party, for all the offices he has
been given by the Republicans. Now
the Republicans can get the inside

fact that his name had been placed on
the registry books. From frequent
conversations with Mr.. Castle, how
ever. the latter well knows that both
of the members of the firm are me
uuivocal supporters of President Will
son.
We have Mr.. Castles word that the
Free Press editor was informed yes
terday before he went to press, of the
facts in the matter, There is a lie
out. and between the two we do not
hesitate to accept Mr.. Castles state
ment.
other statements in yesterdays
Free Press are so thoroughly ridicu-
lous that they warrant only silent
contempt. Every word exudes malice
and envy, and the public will take
them for what they are worth.
The statements regarding Mr.. Col
vert who was formerly connected with
both the Free Press and Independent,
are thoroughly malicious and Mr..
Colvert states that he intends to call
the Free Press editor to account in
a way provided by the criminal laws
which will teach him that freedom of

dollars appropriated from the public
till to "irrigate" river beds located
in the southern states.
1t has been demonstrated that the
southern idea of a tariff for-revenue
only, as exemplifed by the Underwood
tariff law, is a rank failure. A rate
of duty averaging less than 10 per
cent, which prevails under the pres
ent tariff law, gives a huge increase
in imports of foreign goods, compet-
ing with American products, but it
also results in a fearful decrease in
the customs revenues collected. This
means additional taxation, and the in
dustries of the North and West, which
are left to the tender mercies of for
eign competitors, employing pauper-
paid labor, are mulcted to make up
losses in revenue.
With the Republican party in power
and a protective tariff law in force,
the industries of the entire country
will be fostered, internal taxation will
be lessened, and if the foreign COM

NORTHERN STATES a
BULK OF INCOME TAX

Twelve northern and western states
paid so per cent of the corporation
and income taxes collected under
Democratic legislation by the federal
treasury for the fiscal year 1916.
Twelve southern states paid Z percent
of those taxes. Giving an average of
five to a family, each head of a fam
lily in these northern and western
states contributed $11.40 to this tax
for the year, while each head of a
family in the southern states paid but
$1.98. Is it any wonder that a Con-
gress and an administration eontroll-
ed by the South favor internal taxa
ton? The South requires of the North
and West that they pay so per cent
of the cost of running the govern
ment, but protection to American in
dustries and American labor, by far
the larger part of which is located in
the North and West, is denied those
sections.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-
MIA, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio,
Michigan, California, Nevada, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island and Missouri
have a population totaling about A.
900, 900. These states paid 800, 400,0 600
in corporation and income taxes dur
ing the fiscal year 1916. The state of
New York alone, with something yer
5000, 900 people, paid over $45, 000, 900
of the tax, a per capita of IS, or a tax
to be met by the head of each family
averaging $25 annually.
Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky. Louisi-
ana, North Carolina. South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia and West Virgin
ia have a population totaling about
$500, 900. These states paid $S.8S1, 600
in corporation and income taxes for
the fiscal year 1916, or just about
twice the amount paid by the little
state of New Jersey alone.
This is but a synopsis of the first
chapter. A bill has just passed the
House which doubles the income tax
es, puts a tax averaging 5 per cen on
the gross receipts of factories making
explosives, firearms, and manufac-
II res of copper. and places additional
taxation on bankers. brokers, ship
brokers and custom house brokers.
OF course the great bulk of these
taxes will be paid by the northern and
western states, where the greater
part of these subjects of taxation are
located.
With the South in absolute control
of the administration and Congress,
these northern and western states
have no effective voice in deciding
the purposes to which the money
raised by these taxes shall be devot-
ed. Hence, we find southern repre-
sentatives jamming through Congress
such measures as the $45, 000, 900 APP
preparation to reclaim swamp lands,
under the guise of Mississippi flood
control funds; the $4,000, 900 appro-
priation for a nitrate plant to be To-
Gated in the South, and millions of
