IN its role of an 'independent''
newspaper the st. Louis Post-D Dis
patch must not, regardless of cause,
endorse all the candidates on any
ticket. The charge of "psrtizsnship''
is pizen to its pretensions. Therefore
/ am not surprised at its attitude to-
ward two of the candidates on the
State Democratic ticket, Msssrs.
Middlekamp for Auditor and Sullivan
for Secretary of State. And what
reason does it give for its opposition
to them? Why, as members of the
State Board of Equaliz alton, they re-
fused to vote for a 100 per cent as
sessment Of all farm values. Now it
is we'll known that no other form of
property is assessed at any thing near
its full value, and Messrs. Sullivan
and Middlekamp refused to make the
farmer the goat. That is all there is
to the question, and I take it no dis
credit will attach to the gentlemen
named for their action in the matter.
They have proven themselves honest
and capable public servants and 1
am sure their constituents will not
ignore them when the ides of Novem-
Der are here.

Because They Refused to Establish I'm
equal Taxation.

From Jefferson City Democrat ribune.)
The st. Louis Post-D Dispatch says
that John L. Sullivan should de de-
feated for Secretary of State and
State Treasurer Geo. 81. Middleksmp
should be defeated for State Auditor.
Mr.. Sullivan was nominated by the
Democratic party without opposition,
and Mr.. Middlekamp, who is now
State Treasurer, vas nominated for
State Auditor by q plurality almost as
large as Ithe combined vote cast for
the three Democrats who opposed
him. The sin Of these two Demo-
Gratis, as the POST Dispatch points out,
is that they voted against a full as
sessment of farm lands and city real
estate, while money, notes and bonds
are assessed at about one-twentieth of
their value. Messrs. Sullivan and
Middleksmp and Attorney General
Frank w. McAllister are accused of
being responsible for the bankrupt
administration Of Governor Major,
although they were not State officials
at that time. The Post Dispatch has
selected George E. Hickman, the
Re publican nominee for State Audi
tor, to succeed himself, as a man wor-
thy of re election on the ground that
as a member of the State Board Of
Equalization he voted for high vslua-
items.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Haokmann
will thank the Post-D Dispatch for sing
ling him out as worthy of reelection
because he voted for q high valuation
Of farm lands, while Attorney Gener-
al McAllister, Secretary of State Sui
Ivan and Treasurer Mieclekamp vot-
ed to equalize valuation to the end
that the man who owned a little farm
or a home in some city would not pay
ahy more on the valuation of his prop
erty than the millionaires would pay
on their high-priced stocks. Mr..
Hickman will hear plenty about his
vote to sustain the high valuations fix
ed by the old and discredited tax COM
mission that was kicked out of Office
by the last legislature.
Messrs. Sullivan aud Middlekamp
will gain thousands of votes by such
attacks as the Post Dispatch has made.
