that is going on in the writing of plat
forms , they are not as wide awake as they
have ; given us reason to believe.
If the Republican leaders in Io\\a had
been entirely frank they would have said :
"We point to the fact that the promise
of : four years ago is still unfulfilled , and
we make another promise just like it.Ve
have no more thought of keeping it than
we had then. We fooled the public be
fore , and we expect to do so air.iin. "
If the people want tariff reform , they
must get it from the Democratic party.

During the month of March the 1'nft
press bureau , located at t'olumbu * . Ohio ,
sent < out , according to the Washington
Herald , printed slips bearing these head
lines : "Business Hope Lies on Taft , "
"Asserts Taft is P cst Candidate , " "P.ig

Interests to Assist in Nomination. * ' Fol
lowing are extracts from the Taft circu
lar : "Mr. Taft's long record is distinctly
against any conclusion that he would con
tinue Mr. Roosevelt's methodsHP has
displayed brains , ability , good judgment ,
and , above all , sanity , in the givat and
successful accomplishments of his career.
We must not lose sight of the fact that
there is a temperamental difference in
the two men , Roosevelt and Taft. I'.v na
ture and by training , as a lawyer and asa
judge , Mr. Taft has always manifested
thoughtful attitude in his judgment , and
great deliberation and cons. natism. in
his actions. Neither is it conceivable that
mnn of his force of character would be
controlled ( , when in the full power of the
presidency , by any outside personality. "
In its issue of March 0. the Washing
ton Herald printed an interview with
Gen. Kiefer , a member of Congress , in
which he said that he was for Taft Mid
did not believe that if elec"d ! In- would
"too closely follow Roosevelt's id"is. : ' U
will be remembered that lii > -o reports
greatly disturbed Mr. Taft and nis man
agers ; and they took pains to s.i'y thai the

been ! issued by a subordinate at ; ho Co

Now the Omaha P.ee. p rhjps ; the ablest

favors an ' . > n.pvgenient ! of the army until

calls atir'ition to the fact that this year's
appropriation is almost one hundred mill
ion dollars , and says that the navy appro
priation is increasing also. He reminds
the SPU.-UP that the building of the navy
is only the bpgSrnim : of the expenditure.
"You commit the country to repair and

nothisig short of that will satisfy the

What lies hack of this demand for a

every other nation into an increase of ar
mament and preparation for war. Where
i- ; the end ? It can be found only in the
extinction of the competing nations. How

the burden of these war-like preparations ?
How loin : will the laborint : men submit
without protest ? The doctrine that peace
can be made secure by this rivalry in mili
tary and naval extravagance is as con
trary to reason as it is to the spirit of
our civilization and to the ideals of Chris
tianity. Imperialism is a poison and no
limit can be set to the spread of the dis
ease until the poison is expelled.

The la rill plunk of ( lie Iowa Republi
can platform is the most delightful bit of
sarcasm which the present campaiun has
produced. It lefnrs to the pledge of tariff
reform contained in the State platform
of 1)01 ! ) and renews thepledge. . As the
pledge fhen made was not carried out a
renewal of it is equivalent to a promise
the masterly inactivity shown during the
present administration will be continued.
It weakens the new promise to link it to
the old one which is still unfulfilled.

The Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican
prints this significant editorial : "On
which side is the heart of the President
in the party struggle in the House of
Representatives ? Does he sympathize
with the opposition filibn terin to force
action on his favorite measures , or with
the Republican majority fighting to dump
them under a trap-door until the next
session ? Which is the President's party ,
anyhow ? "
In its issue of Friday. April . ' ! . the New
York World pays jn.st enough attention to
The Commoner's oft propounded question
to say that it has urged revision of the
duties on steel "in order to curb the steel
trust and correct the injustice by which
it sells its products abroad cheaper than
at home ; " also that the World has urged
"a drastic corrupt practices acr to pre-
\ent the railroads from buying the gov-
rnment that is to regulate them. " The
World will find it difficult to deceive
many of its readers now that the Unlit of
publicity is being thrown upon the Pulit
zer motives and methods.
Let Mr. Pulitzer take his readers into
hi.s confidence by telling them of the ex
tent of his financial" interest in railroads
and in other great corporationscommonly *
known as trusts.
"Publicity : Publicity ! Publicity I"
Mr. Pulitzer with respect to the source
of the generous income enjoyed by the
owner of the New York World I
And wliy not publicity ? Are not the
men who read the New York World's fer
vid appeals to Democrats in behalf of the
"national honor' * and the "safety imd
sanity"of the party entitled to know
the motive of the man behind the edito
rial ?
Secretary Taft has already commenced
to hedge on the tariff question. In a re
cent speech he declared that the Dingley
bill had brought great prosperity , but that
changed conditions require a modification
of schedules. He then proceeded to define
tariff revision by saying that -some of the
schedules should be raised and others low
ered , and concluded with an eulogy of the
protective tariff principle. What chnnce
is there of any real tariff reduction at
the hands of a man who attributes the
prosperity which the country has had to
the Dingley tariff ? No credit is given to
good crops and no credit to an increased
volume of currency , but all to a tariff law
which places an exorbitant tav on eighty
millions of people that a comparatively
few may sell manufactured goods at high
prices and build up large fortunes. And
now to b" told that some of the schedules
ought to be raided and others lowered
what hope of relief does this give ? , It
i bad enough tbe told that the Repub
licans will not give any relief now when
they have the power to do s . but to be.
told that the relief to be given by and by
is to be reduced to a minimum by the
raising of some of the schedules is even
worse. And .vet this is the only kind of
tariff reform to be expected from those
who spend more time expatiating upon
the beauties of the protective principle
than they do upon the injustice wrought
by the application of that principle.
The first step in tariff revision is to
revise Congress.
lias any one Intely seen anything of
the old "home market" theory of the pro
tectionists ?
A Mr. Fake is a candidate for Congress
in New Jersey. If elected he will be
welcomed by the majority.
Mr. Ilnrriman has just scooped in an
other $ . O.OflO,000 on a railroad deal. But
Mr. Ilnrriman is "a practical man. "
After figuring up his last campaign
Congressman Littlefield decided that discretion -
cretion is the better part of economy. i
r
Rhode Island Republicans have declarl
ed against tariff revision , and Senator
Aldrich was never so surprised in his life.
Tp to date a Republican Congress has r
failed to enact into law any important
fl
recommendation made by a Republican
President. .

some rules enabling it to continue its pol

Exhaustive Study to Be Made by
New Hampshire , Aided by
National Bureau.
FOREST GEOWTH IS INVOLVED.
Wherean Maine "Would Place Burden
oil "v7ild Lands , New York
"Would Exempt Them.
tVashington correspondence :
Exhaustive study of the forest taxa
tion problem as presented by the actual
workings of existing laws is to be at
tempted for the iirst time by the New
Hampshire forestry commission in co
operation with the United States for
est service. The study will take in
the many questions of forest land tax
ation and the protection of New
Hampshire forests from fires. J. H.
Foster of the forest service has been
sent from "Washington to make the in
vestigations on the ground.
Uocatise of its thoroughness. New
Hampshire's study is sure to be fol
lowed with great interest by New
York. Maine , .Michigan , Pennsylvania
and other States which find the tar
problem a serious check to forest pre
servation. Mr. Foster will iind out by
painstaking inquiry in different parts
of the State and among all classes of
citizens how the laws are administer
ed , how they are regarded and what
their effect is on the lumber industry
and on forest preservation. The result
will be to provide New Hampshire
with a better basis for revising its sys
tem of taxing forest lands than any
State has ever had , if changes in the
present laws are found to be needed.
Taxationof , timber land is regarded
by oflicers of the forest service as one
of the most important matters up for
discussion. They believe that upon the
right settlement of this question depends - '
pends largely the rapidity with which
private owners adopt forestry. Agita
tion for a change is taking place along
two directly opposite lines for an In
crease in the amount of taxes to be
paid by wild laud's on the one hand ,
and on the other for laws which will
partly or wholly exempt from taxation
reforested lands , or defer the colleb-
tion of taxes on the forest crop until
it is harvested.
Those who urge increasing the *
believe this class of property does not
pay its just share. Those who advo
cate laws to lighten the weight of taxa
tion on forest lands in one way or an
other maintain that the public welfare
is promoted by the preservation of for
ests , and that the more heavily they
taxed the more nearly certain it la
that they will be wiped out or will lose
most of their value through destructive
lumbering.
In Maine and New York proposed
changes in existing laws are under dis
cussion. In Maine a tax commission
appointed by the last legislature i3
about to hold public hearings , and tha
report is that it will be asked to recom
mend a plan whereby wild lands may
be taxed on the same basis as munici
pal property , or about 2 per cent an
nually. In the New York legislature
a bill has been introduced which would
tax timber land managed with the ap
proval of the forest , lish and game
commission at a rate not higher than
that for barren in the -same tax
district ; , with an additional tax of 3
per cent on the stumpage value of tha
timber when it is cut.
In Maine the value of standing tim
ber would be regarded as a part of
the value of the land , and the owner
would pay a rising tax as his timber
grows more valuable , until he cuts it
In the'New York bill the timber is re
garded as a growing crop , which , like
other growing crops , should be exempt
until it is harvested. The New YorU
bill seeks to encourage forestry as a
means of increasing the wealth of the
State ; the Maine plan would discour
age it.
The New Hampshire study has been
undertaken in the belief that it will
help solve what is undeniably a knotty
probein. A forest taxation law which
is both wise and practical Is by no
means easy to frame.
