A NOTABLE DECISION

A partisan attempt to subvert the
provisions of the constitution >by in
serting the so-called "peace. health
and safety clause" in bill proposed
to remove from office justices of the
peace and constables in jackson coun-
ty, who had been elected by the peo-

the Governor, has received a we'll
merited rebuke in the decision of the
Supreme Court handed down Monday.

HYDE's DOUBLE STANDARD

When Governor Hyde wanted to
prove that his consolidation bills
saved money for the state, he had his
legislature pass two sets of appro-
priations, one for the old bureaus as
they stand, and the other for the new
departments, and compared one with
the other, making the appropriations
for the old bureaus higher than for
the new, although the net increase ov-
er the appropriations for the. same bu-
reaus under Gardner was about ST.
100000. The reasonable comparison
would have been with the appropria-
tons made two years ago for the
same bureaus, but that was not
Hyde's style.
The Governor has double stand
ard of expenditures and taxes-both
standards being produced by his own
administration-and he refuses to per-
NIT anybody to draw him into the fol-
ly of comparing anything he does with
the Democratic method. So far as
Hyde is concerned, the world did not
begin to move, nor Missouri to exist,
until noon of the tenth of January,
nineteen hundred and twenty-one,
when Hiram Lloyd and he took up
their exalted places.
It is easy enough to claim to save
money, if the legislature sets up two
standards of measurement-both of
its own creation, and then urges the
adoption of the lower scale. 1t is up
on this theory: "Look at what we
might have spent"
1t is also easy to claim to have re-
duced taxes, when the state admins
tration starts in by boosting valua-
tons without proportionately reducing
the levies. Then after public clamor
and Democratic exposure, some hypo-
critical and discriminatory reductions
are made from the original high level
mark. They are still higher than they
ever were in the states history. The
State Journal is preparing an analysis
of the tax situation, which will soon
be presented in detail, and which will
give the facts. There has been no re-
duction, except from the original sums
that would have been collected on the
new assessments, if the rate had not
been lowered.
Wherein are these reductions sup
posed to exist?
The Globe-Democrat's Jefferson City
correspondent informed us on July 20.
He said that tax reductions of $4,573,-
1893 had been voted, but we find upon
examination of his story that $751;
1913 of this sum is direct taxation for
the state revenue fund, and $465,874
for the capitol bond fund. making to-
tai reduction under Hyde's original
figures, not under last years taxes, of
$1,147,212. The rest of the alleged
reductions are on income and corpor-
alton taxes, which might just as well
have remained where they are, if the
same proportion of burden of taxa
ton is to be carried into effect with
out discrimination.
By this form of reducing taxes, the
Governor starts out by proposing to
take a certain enormous sum away
from you. Mr.. Taxpayer, by direct
methods; then he relents, and agrees
to reduce his extortions a trifie. He
can point out to you, by this policy,
wherein he might have soaked you for
a million more than he has.
There is nothing quite like the dou-
BILE standard of expenses, unless it is
the double standard of taxation.-
