in power to him that hath

In other words the consumers of
the necessities of life are taxed
equally on the commodities they
use, whether they be rich or
poor. If you must eat you must
pay, while on the other hand,
the Injuries which only the rich
indulge themselves in, are taxed
for the upkeep of the government.
VI course you are told, Mr..
Voter, that by paying this duty
on necessities you are protecting
the home industries and the
home laborer, but you are not
told how much you are protect
ing the man who poses as a
manufacturer but who IN reality
is merely a stakeholder in a cor
poration which is capitalized at
two or three times what the
actual money value of their
plant is, and that the money YOU
pay to keep foreign competition
out is aiding these 'manufac-
turers" to live in ease and lux
ury and roll up wealth from al
imaginary investment.
The most glazing example OF
this hlghhanded robbery of the
people is the tariff on sugar.
Statistics prove that it costs
within fraction of a cent as
much to produce a pound of beet
sugar in Germany or cane sugar
IN Cuba as it does in the United
States, and if anyone has am
doubts as to this robbery let
them investigate as to the a
mount of watered stock and the
enormous profits reaped by this
industry in the past six or seven
years.
If all were beet farmers or
mechanics there might be some
reason for imposing tax on all,
but why tax the man who real
ICES at best not over Sl2 or Sl5
an acre for his wheat or other
farm product in order that the
beet farmer may realize $40 to
$40 per acre? Why tax the
common laborer who at best can
earn 81, % per day to protect the
skilled workmen who can earn
So to SIS a day?
The trouble is, that protection
shuts out all competition and the
revenue that would come TO the
government does not come, and
the amount of the duty charged
by the government is added TO
the profits of the home manu-.
iacturer and the consumer pays
this additional profit over and a.
bove the legitimate profit, thus
enabling the manufacturing con
Germ to pay big dividends to its
stockholders who hold large
blocks Of stock which do not
represent a cash investment in
the earning power Of the plant

There can be no question but
that a conservative, intelligent
and fairminded tax commission
would be good thing, but when
such an institution is used mere
ly to bolster up political machines
and to cater to public utility cor
porations to the detriment of the
general public it is nuisance
and should be abolished. The
assessor becomes only a tool in
the hands of such a commission
and his opinion or judgment is
of no avail. Jefferson county
has had its experience to the
tune of $G3, 600 which it will lose
because the tax commission
found that the valuation of the
various utility corporations had
decreased while that Of the farm.
ing communities had almost
doubled. Is it not rather a sing
ular thing that the railroads and
the Telephone and Electric Com
panies' property should decrease
500, 600 when their earnings for
the year have increased almost
half as much as in the past two
years. On the other hand, can
anyone give a logical reason why
the farm lands of the county
should have doubled in taxable
valuation when the earnings of
the lands have not increased ma
terially? OF course we recog-
nize the fact that there is a
great opportunity for controLl-
ing body of this character to be
well taken care Of Tor dis
eliminating in favor of the cor
porate interests and possibly the
temptation has been overwhelm-
ing. If such has been the case,
then it would be well to remove
the temptation by abolishing the
commission altogether.
The Republican party differs
from the Democratic party on
the tariff question in that it fav-
ors q high protective tariff on all
the necessities of life that are
produced in the foreign coun-
tries, on the theory that by pay
ing this duty the consumer, who
is an American citizen, usually,
is benefited because somewhere
in the United States some in
dustry is producing that nccess-
ity and therefore all American
people are benefited thereby.
The Democratic party differs
from the Republican party in
that it believes in putting a duty
on the Injuries of life, merely
for the revenue only, so that
those who can well afford to
bear this burden shall bear it, if
they indulge in those Injuries.
Therefore il the Republicans are

1t sure is hard to please the
American people. They wanted
to go down and wallop the stuff
fin out Of Mexico and then when
President Wilson decided to do
so and modified hundred
thousand men and sent them to
the border to show Caranza that
he would fight if necessary, but
at the same time urged him not
to invite the grave consequent
ces, some Of these same Amer
leans arise to ask why the guards
men are now at the border? AS
if they could be brought home
before it is fully determined that
they are not needed. In all
probability they will be kept
there until the arbitrators COM
posed Of Americans and Carran-
zistas have outlined plan of es-
tabllshlng stable government
in Mexico. There is a POSSIBLE
lty- very great possibility that
Carranza will not be able for
some time to keep down the bar
dts along the border. That's
why our boys will remain awhile.
There has been much criticism
OF the troops being poorly fed
and poorly equipped-just as
there was such cIlllclsm at the
time of the Spanish American
War. These criticisms are
largely exaggerated, no doubt,
by political tillahu5,trs, and the
blame instead of being heaped
upon the hgureheads who have
warmed cushions in the hotels
instead of being on the field and
meeting actual conditions, is be.
ing heaped upon President Will
son, who has had just reason to
believe that these officers who
have been drawing their pay all
these years from the former adj
mlnistratiOns knew their bust
ness, and We're reliable and CAP
able men.
1t is a bad time to find these
things out but it is actual eXper-
fence that teaches and President
Wilson Is making the best of a
deplorable situation for which
his predecessors who are now
crlticislng him are as greatly to
blame as he.
According to the Denver Post,
John +. Vivian has been forced
to resign his position as secre-
tary of the State Republican
Central Committee because of
his activities in attempting to
load the Republicans up with
Wandering George for another
term. Mr.. Vivian is a very per-
sistant man and so far he seems
to have been able to capitalize
his perslstency to a good advan-
tage. For many years he has
held Jefferson county politics
within his grasp and even tho he
has folded his tent and moved
onto claim in another county
he keeps up wireless" COM
munications with his lieutenants
in Jefferson who are ever ready
to do his bidding. Many locaJ
politicians gnash their teeth 4,
the thought of bowling to his
shrine, but just the samie they

COMMISSION FOR WATERWAYS.
Mississippi River VIII BE Given I'm

Washington. Adoption of the COM
mission plan Of dealing with the wa
terways problem Of the country which
would include continuing annual ap-
preparations has been agreed upon as a
general policy to be recommended to
the president in a conference be-
tween cabinet officials and commit.
tee OF senators.
For some time conferences be-
tween representatives of various ideas
of waterway Improvement have been
going on, with the result that policy
was agreed upon which, 1t is believed,
President Wilson will recommend to
congress in the near future.
It is proposed that there shall be
given special. immediate attention to
the lower Mississippi river below Cal
TO and that approximately $4,000, 900
shall be appropriated for 1917 for this
project. In accepting this proposal
the advocates of levee appropriations
were won over to the general commits
sion policy.
What is known as the Newlands-
Broussard waterway measure, which
would appropriate $60,0O0,00O annual
iy, will be taken as the basis for the
