THE GRANT COUNTY NEWS, January 'J 2, IS!) I. Let thosu people who tliink 1 1 to killing or the Indians hiicIi 11 Iiur rilile tiling remember tliu biblicnl law: "Ho that drnwotli tliu sword shall purifli by (lu Bvvord," 1 1 ml the Indians not liown tliuir intuii tion to kill I In-)' would not buvo been killed. Suppose, for u cluing", eonrcM should ilrop politics for awhile. imd adopt u little lobulation for tin) bunt-lit of the eiiinilry at large. AVe aiippou that tlii is an iinjKW .nihility, lint all tint wuui; it would bo : mighty good tiling to do, and n tiling that would add much to the popularity of tliu individual members' who could Mtt'eeed in bringing It about. It is now being charged that iiitoicy is the factor that is to do tcrmino whir shall succeed Mr. Kvnrts of New York in the L'nited States Senate. Tlnit would cer tainly he nothing now. Money has been making senators for nunc years and will probably continue to do so until tlio Mutators aie elected by a direct volu if the peo ple, as they will bo in the course of time. There Ih a growing class in tliis country which will have to be squelched by the people or they will ero long became strong enough to squelch the people in fact in many places they havo neerly suc ceeded in doing it already. The class referred to is the professional olliee holder; and the newspapers of the country are largely respon sible for the great power exercised by this class. According to the urgument of tho average editor thu longer a man holds olliee thu lon ger ho ought to hold olliee, and carried to its logical conclusion it would give us an olliee holding ar istocracy that would eventually be come as powerful as tho nobles of Europe were in feudal times. Such logic is directly contrary to the ideas of the founders of this government. There is not today a man holding a public olliee, high or low, whoso removal would in the slightest degree in jure the interests of the country. In a government of the people, as this was intended to be, rotation in oflien means everything that a healthy circulation of the blood docs to the individual human be ing. Governor l'eunoyer, in deliver ing Ids message to the Legislature, commences by giving a table of the state's indebtedness which shows that on January I, 1.SS7, the principal and interest amount ed, to S1KV-! I7.M. n .(miliary I, IS'JI, the indebtedness, principal and interest, is only SVI.'lo.Jlo. Tho money for tho payment of the indebtedness now e.isting is in tho treasury, and the Male of One gou is practically free from debt. He takes up the matter of i.swif ment and taxation ami says: One of the niot important uiutliri to imgago your attention is the abso lute necessity of a thorough and in sniiie respects a radical change in our laws relative to ansesninent and taxation. lYoviMcii should also be made by which thu tlnto revenue could be easily rained di rectly from the people, entirely in dependent of county taxation. This would prevent that condition of airairs which now prompts a low assossnlent in each county, in order to prevent a juel diaro of state taxation, and would aUo ob viate the necessity of a state board of equalization. A hiillieient state revenue, independent of any coun ty levy, could easily bo hcoured by requiring to bo paid in tho state treasury n poll tax of 2 on every jnale person over twenty ono years of age, u gradual income tax on ull incomes exceeding S1000, and a tax upon all gross receipts of ex press, telegraph, telephone and In surance companies, The exemp tion now allowed by law to every householder is apparently a rea sonable one, and that provision which requires the taxation loaucil on mortgages to bu made in the county where it is so loaned is a ,' lust one.
