Hitting Their own Candidate

The Democratic State Convention
took an awful wallop at Col. Gardner,
their candidate for Governor, when
they declared themselves in favor Of
wealth to return same to the assessor
for taxation purposes"
On the 18th das Of February, 1918,
Col. Gardner, when signing bonds in
the Federal Court, made an affidavit
that he was the owner CT 81, 100000
worth Of personal property, free and
clear OF all liens and incumberances.
In the same year Col. Gardner returned
to the assessor in St. Louis a personal
property tax list Of only $4,000.
Should Democratic administration
endeavor TO unearth hidden wealth for
purposes Of taxation they would do we'll
to begin with their own candidate for
Governor.

themselves buying in competition with
each other, ard strange as it might
otherwise seem, the price Of American
wool went up. The wor came on and
lJr some time an embargo was laid on
Australian wool, aud the price contin'
ued up. The Democratic party, hav'
Ing declared that free wlol meant
cheaper wool, then turned around and
Dragged that their tariff law lad raised
the price of wool. What inconsistency.
DuIing the fiscal year 1918, under
Republican law We impor cd $4,000
900 ponuds OF wool classes l and 3,
which paid Us nearly $lO,000,000 Of
revenue, W. imported lac, 100000
pounds in 19l4under Democratic law,
seven months Of free wool 242,000,-
600 pounds in 1915, and 426, 100000
pounds in 1915. An Insignificant
duty was realized from this wool becau e
angora goat hair WAS retained on the
dutiable list, thanks to Congressman
Gamer, Of Texas an angora wool pr
ducing state, who was framer OF the
the bill. Altogether we have lost con.
siderably over $lO0 600, 900 in revenue
Ircm wool alone, and the consumer
got no benefit, but he pUd more in
ternal taxes.
Wyoming is going Republican b.
cause it wants return to the protect
i've policy. Wyoming knows that
competition from Australia will be
stroug alter the war and she knows
wool prices have been high because
Of the war. Wyoming believes it is
wiser measure Of military Preparedness
to encourage the production Of wool
in America than it is to run a govern
ment owned nitrate plant. Wyoming
"watchIully waits" for a wallop at
Woodrow. Let all wool states do
likewise.

The State Tax Rate.

The Democratic newspapers OF the
state are publishing an alleged COM
parison between the tax rates OF Mis-
souri, and several adjoining states, to the
discredit Of the latter. The states oi
Iowa and Illinois are mentioned as un-
der Republican control and as having
a higher tax rate. An investigation
will show that the people OF both Iowa
and Illinois pay much less taxes per
500 Of actual property valuation than
do the people OF Missouri and get in
fnitely more .or their money. In the
states named there is exemption for
the poor man who only has a few hun
dred dollars while in Missouri under
Democratic rule, the workingman has
had to pay on valuation Of fifty dollars
even when he didn't have a thing on
earth except his immediate clothing, a
condition which obtains in no Republi-
can state. Besides, in Iowa and Hi
nois, property is valued for taxation on
a much lower basis, fact which vitally
affects the rate but evens itself out in
the gross tax payment.
The proper comparison to make in
Missouri is With the Republican admi'
nistration Of Governor Hadley immedi-
ately preceding but the apologists Of
the present state regime, including
Col. Gardner, couldn't be induced to
go into this maniiestly fair form Of com.
parison because the showing would put
them TO shame.
Every citizen Of Missouri knows,
without seeing the figures that the ad-
mipistration Of Governor Hadley was
not only more economical and business
like but more efficient than that Of the
present Democratic outfit at Jefferson
City and there was no scandal connect
ed with that administration. 1t COM
mandcd everybody's respect and the
people Of the state held up their heads
in justiRable pride during its incum'
beucy.
