THEY ARE STILL THE SAME OLD STAND PATTERS' The Republicans of New York are Iruo to form in the platform adopted Wednesday at their Saratoga convention. Their chief concern was lor corporate interests and big business. A large part of the platform is devoted to selfish denunciation of Democratic legislation that threatens th; special privileges fostered under Republican standpat tactics of former years. A typical example is the plank declaring the income tax law a sectional measure, “tending to extract millions of dollars from a few states in excess of their just share.” Unquestionably the income tax law lilts New’ York harder than it does any other commonwealth, and it should. The theory of the tax on incomes is that it assesses a levy on abundance and not on necessity. It calls on those •who have money to pay in proportion to what they have. The favorite theory of tho.J'icw York Republican leaders is that the consumer should support the government. He should pay and say nothing tliat would be likely to hurt business interest or make capital uneasy. It is not surprising, therefore, that the delegates at Saratoga viewed with alarm the inquisitorial features of the income tax law. The secrets of what they have and how they got it have been held sacred so long in New York that force of habit would prompt the Republican party of the state to worry about any law tending to turn on the limelight. The currency and banking law also is denounced, for no other reason, apparently, than that it may loosen the grip Wall street has hud on the finances of the country. While the New York Republicans exhibit apparent anxiety concerning the effect the new tariff will have on the American working man, their real anxiety is plainly for those who wcie fattening under the monopoly of high

protection. The whole tenor of th 3 platform is that of a plea for specie.l privilege. It is essentially a standpat pronouncement of a standpat party organization that has failed to catch the inspiration of present-day progressive tendencies. —Indianapolis Star.
