TAXING FOREIGNERS

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 25, 1916.
Mr.. A. w. Bradshaw, Editor The
Pennington Times.
Dear Sir:-I noticed in last weeks
issue of the Pennington News an ar
ticled signed "Tax Payer" criticising
Mr.. Wells for having assessed the
foreign miners of ST. Francois county.
I would like to have space in your val
liable paper to say few words to the
taxpayers of st. Francois county: !
had the honor Of being elected Asses
sor in your county in 1870 and served
from 1871 to 1875. The foreign min
ers at that time were problem.
However, /, as Assessor, the same as
Mr.. Wells, felt that these foreigners
who possessed personal property of
all kinds should be assessed--having
in mind that their children attended
our schools and received the same pro-
lection we do, consequently they
should pay just proportion of taxes,
and | proceeded to assess them the
same as Mr.. Wells has done.
was elected to the Office of Sheriff
and Collector in 1875, at which time
| sued and garnisheed every foreigner
that | had assessed, and succeeded in
collecting the taxes. However, few
of them left the country after realiz-
ing that they had to pay taxes. This
is the reason I am sure that the com
panies don't want them to be assessed
now--for fear they will leave.
| am farmer now, and also tax
payer in St. Francois county, and have
been for the past 40 years, and for
one only regret that | am unable to
vote in st. Francois county and cast
my vote for Wells for Assessor. Ev-
cry taxpayer who is awake to his own
interest should vote for Wells for his
stand on this question.
l am very truly yours,
JOHN B. HIGHLEY.

FOLLOWING HIS LEADER

Mr. Hughes should not be blamed
too severely for attacking the eight
hour law, for sneering at the child
labor law, in a word, for shaping his
speeches to suit the views of Wall
tsreet. He is merely catering to the
taste of his strongest and most con-
sistent ally.
Wall street has been out to beat
Wilson since March a, 1913. 1t had
two grudges against him from the
start, his independence and his SYM
pathies.
President Wilson believes in help
ing those who need help, instead of
handing over the powers of govern
ment to men who have proved more
than able to help themselves; and he
refused to take orders from the coun-
try's financial masters. These quail
ties were enough to arouse the hos
tility of the money power, but now
it has a score of grievances-each
one a public blessing-to sharpen its
resentment and embitter it's hate.
+ Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for chasing it's lobby out
of Washington.
Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for the Federal reserve
act.
Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for the income tax.
Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for the inheritance tax.
Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for the rural credits act.
Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for revising the tariff.
Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for opposing Huerta or
for refusing to intervene in Mexico.
Wall street will never forgive Pres
ident Wilson for the child labor law.
Above all, Wall street will never
forgive President Wilson for avert
ing the great railroad strike. o'
Wall street is the veteran in this
war against Wilson. Hughes is mere
ly a new recruit. Naturally, he suits
his tone and temper to the wishes of
his senior officer and the head of his
commissary department. - Chicago

THE REAL KNIGHT

Who are the mobiles Of the earth?
The true aristocrats,
Who need not bow their heads to lords
Nor doff to kings their hats;
Who are they, but the men of toll,
The mighty and the free,
Whose hearts and hands subdue the
earth
And compass all the sea.
Who are they, but the men of toll
Who cleave the forest down,
And plant amid the wilderness
The hamlet and the town.
Who fight the battles, bear the scars
And give the world its crown,
Of name, Of fame, of history
And pomp of old renown.
These claim no gaud of heraldry
And scorn the knighting rod.
Their coats of arms are noble deeds,
Their peerage is from God.
They take not from ancestral graves
The glory of their names,
But win as once their fathers won
The laurel wreath of fame.

HELPED TO START WAR

The death in prison of MEDIC Ker-
ovic, one of the conspirators in the
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir apparent to the Aus
trian throne, in 1914, has just been
announced. The Archduke's assass-
sination while on Serbian territory
was the immediate exciting cause of
the war in which the whole of Europe
is embroiled. Lying back of this, how
ever, like a sleeping cerberus, were
the Kaiser's Pan-Germanic ambitions
and Germany's superb militarism,
Frances smarting grievance ov-
er the loss of Alsace and Lor-
rain and her dream of eventual res
toration of these provinces and Of
revenge, England's dominant pride
as mistress of the Seas" and her
vast colonial possessions, and the
Cars fear of Austro- German en-
croachment. They only needed
spark to start the confagration, and
the spark was supplied when Austria
declared war against Servia over the
assassination within her borders of
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand.

gime; because they have placed a
higher price on the lives of American
youth and the happiness of American
mothers than the sordid dollar of these
grasping concessionaires and spoilers
of Mexican oil and mineral resources.
And then, when this cloud of almost
worldwide war madness has rolled by,
we may hold up our heads with pride
and thank God that we had a man at
the head Of our nation who was sane
enough and brave enough to stand
for genuine Americanism and the
highest ideals of humanity.

Colonel George Harvey has osten-
tatiously announced his opposition to
the reelection of President Wilson.
Who is" Colonel George Harvey? Well
he was formerly editor of the defunct
Harper's Weekly, now editor Of the
North American Review. Four years
ago, when editor Of Harper's Weekly,
he made a great flourish of discover
ing Woodrow Wilson and started out
to support his candidacy as one well
satisfied with his influence on public
opinion, but because of the faint of
aristocracy and Wall street that how
cred about him, Mr.. Wilson quietly
but earnestly requested him to re-
strain his enthusiasm-he was injur-
ing rather than helping the cause. To
the Colonel's sensitive soul this was
as gall and wormwood, and he sorrow
ed that he. had discovered" the man
who proved himself so close to the
common people and their interests.
As editor of the North American Re-
view nobody expected him to support
Mr. Wilson, and whether he realizes
it or not, there are mighty few people
in this country who care who he sup
ports for President; he is not likely
to help his favorite much.
The Farmington times., 1916-10-27

Presidential campaigns have been
at least for many years back-a
disturbing element of business. Not
so, however, this campaign. Business
is prosperous and confident, there is
no hesitancy in going forward, as the
finances Of the country were never on
a surer and more substantial basis,
and there never was a steadier demand
for labor Of all kinds. We are at
peace while the larger half of the
world is battle field, and the people
are satisfied with the policies of Mr..
Wilson's administration--both foreign
and domestic-which have SO largely
contributed TO the present prosperous
and peaceful conditions.
The Farmington times., 1916-10-27

The sweep Of public sentiment in fa-
vor of Mr.. Wilson's reelection has
been remarkable within the last two
or three weeks. Even in gambling
Wah, Street, where early in the cam
paign the betting odds were all on the
Hughes side, wonderful change has
taken place-it's even money now with
the prospect that in a few days the
odds will be all for Wilson. Judge
Hughes campaign speeches, from
which the Republicans hoped so much
would come, have fallen fiat. Mere
criticism, fault-fnding and abuse, with
no definite policy to take the place of
that which he and his sponsors say
is all wrong, has only caused the peo-
pie to inquire more carefully into the
policy and achievements of the Viii
son administration, and the more
thorough their investigation the more
satisfied they are that a change in the
national administration would be dis
astrous to the country.
