Mr.. Burke the Man.

The nomination of Mr.. Burke by
the Democratic Convention gives en-
inent satisfaction to the party and
the people generally, probably bet
ter than would the candidacy Of any
other man mentioned for tue place.
His acceptance has not yet been an
nouhced, but we hope, i'll view of
the fact that it will not be necessary
to make personal canvass after ;he
very thorough work two years ago,
he will let his nvme head the ticket.
He is just the man to beat til" ,ir'est
individual who has the Kepio..can
party by the throat. y letter OF ac-
ceptance from Mr.. Barke, defining
his position on such local issues as
may have arisen since the canvass of
1850, and the platform, will afford
ample orpor' unity for the people to
vote intelIsently III all respects.
In our next issue We hope TO DO
able to give Mr.. Burke's acceptance
of the nomination. The antipathy
against Mr.. Brents has immeasura-
bly, Increased since his nomination;
aud although lie received the unani-
nous vote Of the Convention, the
strange anomaly is presented that
he was the choice of neither his party
or the people. The American citi-
zen is impulsive, and it is by no
certain that Mr.. Burke may not be
elected by fair majority.

A few Queries.
SECTION 1922 of the Code of
Washington Territory reads as fol-

SECTION 1922 of the Code Of
Washington Territory reads as fol-
lows:
"The person holding the office of Coun-
ty Auditor or deputy, or performing its
duties, shall not practice AS an attorney
nor represent any person making any
claim against the county, or seeking To
procure any legislative or other action by
said county board. And the County Au'
ditOr during his term of office, anu any
deputy by him appointed, is hereby dis.
qualified from performing the duties OF
any other county office or acting As deputy
tor any other county officer. Nor shall
any other county officer or his deputy act
rs auditor or deputy. or perform any of
the duties of said office"
Now we ask MIR. Phillips if he
has not violated, >. in spirit and intent,
every clause of this section? Did
he not accept the Office of Secretary
of the Olympia and Chehalis Valley
Railroad Co. while holding the Office
of County Auditor? Did he not
while holding this position urge the
reduction of that company's assess
ment at the meeting Of the Board
of County Commissioners in Au-
gust 1891? Was not the amount ie-
duced III accordance with his petit
ton? Has not Mr.. Swan since de-
clared that he believed the reduction
unwarranted by law and wrong in
principle? Does anybody believe
that Mr.. Swan, Mr.. Gibson, or Mr..
Mckenzie would have entertained the
proposition had it not been advo-
Gated by Mr.. Phillips? Again, the
section prohibits the County Aud
itor from employing any other coun-
~ officer to act as his deputy or
"pertorm any Of Me duties 81 sad
Office" One OF these duties is to
act as clerk of the Board of County
Commissioners. Has not MIR. Hen
ry, the Probate Judge, acted for Mr..
Phillips in that capacity? Has not
Mr.. Shoecraft, MI. Billings deputy,
performed the same service for MIR.
Phillips? Will that gentleman give
unequivocal answers to each of these
queries?

What MIR. Billings calls SSlush. .

THAr county affairs hare been
managed in the interest of the
moneyel corporations TO: many
wears past, we have only to appeal
10 the record of ouc officers t, show
Ii ha, continued SO Ion. without re
''use, that it is no surprising the
act, y! the Auditor, the Commission
cis and the Sheriff, shcull at last
exhibit an open contempt for the
pam provisions of law. 1t will be
L, ulembered that in April. 1913, be.
tore the annual assessment W, shade,
Mr.. Bloomfield, the couu;y's legal
advisor, gave explicit instruction to
Mr.. Billings a. to the nlaaner of
making the assessment Of railroad
lands These instructions were based
upon decision of Judge Greene,
wnlch set forth the le.a manner of
preparing the roll. 1t IL ii matter
vi record that Mr.. Billings lid MT
follow these Instructions, and So
hiSrant WAS the outrage, when the
railroad taxes were lost from this;
neglect Of duty, that the Grand jury
Of the FEBRUARY term, 1851, censured
that officer for failure to comply
with his sworn duty as Proclaimed
by the highest judicial authority in
the Territory.
That MIR. Billings was impartial in
the distribution of his favors to cor
porations is likewise shown by his
failure to assess the Penitentiary
property, of which he was part OWL
er, in 1878. Nor was that property
assessed in 1879, and not till the
STANDARD called attention to this
glaring wrong did Mr.. Billings at
tempt to make restitution Of the
amount wrongfully withheld. And
this endeavor to make amends, un.
der compulsion, is characteristic of
the man. He totally ignored the
taxes which accrued for 1878 and
paid but a moiety of the ia, proper
ly due for 1879, notwithstanding the
law provided that "Any property
wilfulIy concealed. removed trans.
ferred or misrepresented by the
owner. or agent thereof, to envade
taxation, upon discovery, must be
assessed at twice its value as q pen
atty for such concealment, and the
assessment SO made shall not be re-
duced by the Board of E1ualiza-
ton"
The most remarkable feature of
this transaction is, that in rendering
the partial amount for 1879, Mr..
Billings availed himself of the adj
vantage of his own error, the whole
levy being illegal from the fact that
the roll was not properly certified
by himself as Assessor.
These are q few OF the reasons why
our taxes are heavy, many of which
might be cited to show his utter un.
fitness for reelection.
