The franchise tax law of New York commonly known as the Roosevelt tax law has been upheld by the sup reme court of that slate. This is the law that added over two hundred millions to the tax roll of the Empire state and which was held to tie a radical and unconstitutional measure by lower courts of New York over which Judge Parker presided. To a man up a tree It looks as though the moguls of New York In some manner deluded Parker Into the idea that if he would declare this law un constitutional It wbuld give Roosevelt a black eye so to speak and in a round about way result in Parker’s nomina tion for the presidency by the demo cratic party. The decision was not as popular as was expected and with the case pushed on to trial In its regular order against the expectations of the opponents of the measure who desired to hold it back till after the presiden tial election the sustaining of the Roosevelt idea by the highest court of the state is looked upon as a great victory for President Roosevelt. It has been known for some time that there was an efiort being made In the inner circles of the exclusive set in New York to try to injuie Roosevelt’s political standing, but every effort so far haB been a failure. All of which foes to show that the people may be epended upon to stand by the right especially under abralny fearless leader like Roosevelt.—O’Neill Frontier. Again Dennis attempts to be seri ous; again he swallowed his No. 0. The Franchise Tax Law of New York, which Isa democratic measure and was never known or thought of as the "Roosevelt Tax Law” was upheld and declared constitutional by the “Court of Appeals" of New York, the highest tribunal of that state, of which Judge Alton B. Parker is a member and tire opinion sustaining its constitutionali ty was written by Judge Parker him self. The “brainy fearless Teddy” or the party for which he stands has never framed or favored an equitable “franchise tax law.” In New York as in Nebraska tire only laws framed for the republican legislatures are framed and lobbied through by the corporations themselves and like Coats sell out their masters In every case where the interests of the rall rords and the corporations are at stake. Cronin knows this. Cronin lias opposed every man In Nebraska who has ever come out specifically in favor of just and equitable taxation. He stood by and defended the last legisla ture which passed a revenue bill which practically raises the taxes on other property than that of the railroads in Nebraska about 40 per cent and oppos ed every man and measuro which at tempted to Increase the railroad’s taxes to where it justly belonged al though it is conceded that their taxes is from 60 to 60 percent lower in pro portion to the taxes of other property m this state. Jesus had his Judas, George III had his Cromwell, the 13 colonies had their Benedict Arnold and the taxpayers of Holt county and Nebraska have their Frontier Coats—Dickson—Boodleized corpora tion lickspittles and may God have mercy on their souls in their igno rance if they follow their precepts.— Independent. The above is a good sample of the O’Neill Independent, lloes not the Independent know that this measure was fathered and promoted by Presi dent Roosevelt? Of course it does. Does not the Independent know that there was no democratic governor or legislature elected in the state of New York which could have passed this law. Does not the Independent also know that President Roosevelt is a more honest, able and sincere reformer, than any democrat they could name? Of course they know all this. The Independent also knows that when this law was declared unconst itutional by the lower court of New York it was promptly appealed to tire highest court in the Empire State and there found to be good law. The press re ports of the country informed the public that the opinion finding the law unconstitutional was prepared by Judge Parker. Then why all this tommy-rot about it being a democratic measure? That Mr. Cleveland is now a recep tive aspirant for the democratic nom ination f next year can no longer be doubted. Throughout his stay in St. Louis he was genial, approachable, bon comrade in every way. He mingl freely with the throng, dined with the newspaper men, was never owlish j or exclusive, displayed none of the i characteristics of the Grand Lama of Thibet or the Veiled Prophet of Khorassan, and generally, comported himself like a patriot, willing to mount hiscountry's alter at a moment. He didn’t reverberate once. He was cordial, amenable, discursive, fluent. The bystanders were delighted and amazed, filled with joyous and respect ful wonder. Really it begins to look as though next year’s aspirants will be wise to keep an eye on Mr. Cleve land.—Washinton Post. Some few of the newspapers of the state do not take kindly to the Idea suggested by Judge Magoon that a department of Oriental languages and customs be established in our State University, on the grounds that such a department would add expense to the alreadylarge drafts for University expenditures. We are glad however to notice that a large majority of the press of the state that have declared themselves on the matter are enthu siastic in support of the suggestion and are perfectly willing that the ex tra expense be Incurred. -^ ». The latest candidate to be brought by the Bryan faction is Judge Walter Clark, of North Carolina. Judge Clark is a highly educated and very brilliant man, but Is more of a pop ulist than even Bryan and entertains strong socialistic Ideas. It is not likely that he will receive the support of the unwashed re-organizers. -- E. H. Harrlman, the railroad mag nate, has been operated on to relieve him of an irritated appendix, other wise he had appendicitis in a mild form and for fear that it might make him trouble at an inopportune time, h6 decided to have it removed with out delay. Governor Mickey will have a hard time to name a new member of the board of Are and police commission of Omaha that will be in every way sat isfactory to both factions of the re publican party and also the demo crats. There has never been a time when the prospects for good crops were better than in Holt county at the present time.
