A Few Patterinrs

MIR. Pattangall, in his Wateryille
speech challenged comparison with
the tax rates under Plaisted and
curtis, with those under both nreyi-
Gus and subsequent Republican ad.

tax during the 10 years previous to
the Plaisted administration was 3
mills. The rate during Plaisted's
nrst year was mills, or just double;
ma year, mills or 8 mills average.
average under Curtis, 5 mills. The
state tax assessed under Plaisted Was
xi,O9l, 700 greater than it was under
Fernald, and the state tax during
the Curtis administration was $40
VuO greater than under the Haines
administration, and it was also
$l,o0yOOO greater than it was under
the Fernald term. Why, the state
tax rate this year is but q mill
more than 1t was under either
Platsted or Curtis. Which is re.
markable considering the interest

BOB AND HIS PLATFORM

Robert NJ. LaFollette has dictated
a platform. Standing upon it LOB"
would invite comparison with
Lenine. All that would be visible
would be Bob himself, situation
most congenial to his tastes. He has
dictated chaos in the 6sth Congress.
He would extend his power.
One would not have far to seek
in the platform to understand the
methods by which he would do this.
He would make 1t possible for a
Congress like that which VIC have
recently endured to override the
decision Of tho Supreme Cour-, in
terpreting the Jaw; he would have
government ownership OF railroads
and make them the pawns OF his
political ambitions; he would
slaughter the protective tar:T; he
would prevent the use of injunction
to protect the public from cutrages
like those OF the railroad strike.

stroyed by mobs; he would nave

but singularly overlooks the special
claims OF the wars wreckage, made
all the larger by such as he, en-
deavoring in every way 10 prevent
proper support Of our soldiers in
time of war; he would have the
government own all waterpower-
with LaFollette to press the button;
he would reduce railroad freight
rates and increase the pay of rail-
road employees; he would "clean
house" though as a member Ct the
United States Senate he contribut-
ing nothing of value to the effort to
do so; he rants Of "servile agents"
of monopoly but asks the country to
give such as he a monopoly of all
its affairs.
7 These are some Of his many de-
mands. If granted Robert M. La
Toilette would become the greatest
show piece of destructive demagogy
the world has ever seen.
But his demands have not been
, granted. Were 1t not for his we'll
known power of hypnotism and the
unrest of many his platform would
be a joke and he an object inviting
ridicule. AS 1t is, he has capacity
for. trouble and a disposition to
make trouble,
