COURTEOUS OCOsTA.

The people of the Harbor can render
thanks unto Ocosta for driving the mill
tia encampment away from Westport this
summer. 1t is an open secret that Gov
ernor Ferry and Adjutant General
O'Brien RETAINED from accepting the in
vitation to the Port Townsend centennial
celebration until the last moment, in the
hope that an invitation would come from
Ocosta. 1t is also an open secret that
the Governor and adjutant general have
decided against Grays Harbor as a place
for the summer encampment principally
because Ocosta was SO ignorant of the
customs and usages of civilized people,
or so boorish, as to neglect extending to
the governor an invitation to be present
at the centennial celebration.

THEIR LITTLE GAME.

The county commissioners have Gre
ated considerable comment by their re-
cent action in re-districting the county !;
and much speculation has been afloat as
to the inwardness Of this move. On the
face of it, the action of the commission
ers is illegal; and it would be possible for
the present commissioners to hold over,
no matter whom the people might think
they were electing this November. This
seems very plainly to be the little game
the commissioners are playing; but the
people can be counted upon to block it.
The law clearly shows that the COM
missioners have no power to make any
such division of the county, at this time.
1t says: each County in the state
shall be divided into three districts, and
all counties heretofore divided into three
districts may be redistricted and redivid-
ed into three districts, by the county
commissioners thereof, at their first session
after this lav goes into e6art. Said districts
shall embrace, as near as may be possi-
BILE, one-third Of the population of the
county. The lines of the districts pro-
vided for by this act shall not be changed
oftener than once in four years, and only
when full board of county commission
ers is present.
1t is evident, then, that the commits
sioners had no power to take such action
at this time, nor will it, We think, be
claimed by anyone that the so-called re-
distribution arranges SO that the "said dis
tricts shall embrace, as near as may be
possible, one-third Of the population of
the county," when it is known that at
the last election the vote cast by the So
called second district was 1,O53, and that
the total Of the two other districts was
only 922, while the present census shows
the same existing inequality.

Blaine loves to pose as deep dark
mystery, on which the electric lights are
turned as the curtain goes down. All of
his life has been striving after spectacu-
lar effect, with which to catch the applause
OF the gallery gods, to whom he plays.
His resignation as secretary of state,
made quite an effective tabIeau. He has
by it, however, convicted himself OF du-
plicity. A man who is supposed to be
versed in diplomiary should never have
said my name will not 90 before the
convention" But, having said it. and
having remained in the cabinet of his
political opponent until the eleventh
hour and fifty-ninth second, and then re-
sign, thereby inviting the nomination, is
a breach of faith even politicians do not
tolerate.
The democrats are to be congratulated
should Blaine receive the nomination
He is weaker now in every way than in
1884.

EQUALIZATION OF TAXES--HAvE
WE GOT 1T?
Communicated J


Section As, Revenue laws of 1891,
reads as follows: "The assessor shall
make out in the real property assessment
book, in numerical order, complete lists
of all lands or lots subjected to taxation,
showing the names of owners, if to him
known, and if unknown. SO stated oppo-
site each tract or lot in pencil memoran-
dun, the number of acres, and the lots,
or parts Of lots, or blocks, included in
each description of property"
Section OF the same law explains how
the terms, ''lots" blocks or parcels of
land" shall be construed in certain cases,
as follows: THE term tract" or ''lot"
and "piece Of parcel of real property"
and "piece or parcel of lands" wherever
used in this act, shall each be held to
mean any contiguous quantity Of land in
the possession of, owned by, or recorded
as, the property of the same claimant,
person or company"
During the last three years of prosper
ity in western Washington, hundreds of
townsite schemes were placed on record,
many of which will, in time, develope
into useful centers for trade and business !;
unless the unequal system of taxation
shall drive them out Of existence and
compel the recorded plots Of cheap town
lots to be vacated.
The following table will illustrate the
true situation of how the poor mans
property is taxed, wien compared with
the rich:
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1892-06-09

1t will readily be seen that the greatest
discrepancy and injustice against the
poor is found in the smallest computation.
For instance: Chehalis county has rs ,OCO
cheap town let's assessed at an average of
50 each making total of $375,00 The
owners Of these cheap town lots pay into
the treasury of the county $3.50 to apply
as interest on the state bonds the levy of
which is only one-fortieth Of one mill on
the dollar. Now one-fortieth of one mill
levy, should produce in 1876, 900 assess
ment, $93.75 instead of $3.50. To make
this still palmer, we will suppose $50
persons in Chehalis county own each one
block, or 100 lots, assessed at IS per lot,
they each pay $1.0O interest on state
bonds, but if one man is able to own 200
corner lots assessed at 81 900 each, total
$4OO, 900, he pays only $40 interest on
state bonds, while his unfortunate $50
neighbors pay $3.50 on $25 900 less as
sessment. Of course if the 75O poor
men were able to go into court and de-
mand their rights under the constitution
guaranteeing the ad valorem system of
taxation, they would find relief.
The fault is not in the numerical sys-
tenn Of taxation, but rather in its appli-
cation. A careful comparison of sections
4 and As should satisfy any person that
there is relief to a certain extent for
those who own a large number of these
lots Contiguous" to each other.
There is another form of relief to all.
if the several computations shall be car
ried to the total column and there add
the fraction in each separate computa-
ton. If this idea was carried out, one
dollar assessment would produce cents
instead of cents, and SIS assessment
would produce cents instead of 10 cents.
About the meanest thing that legisla-
tive assembly can do in this state, is to
make laws discriminating against the
poor men.
Washington is probably the only state
in the union that adds all the fractions
against the taxpayer. The usual way is
to extend the various computations to
the total column, and if the total shows
half cent or more Of a fraction, it shall
be called one cent; but if less than a
half cent, the fraction shall be dropped.
This is where justice is desired.

grinding shares at q big stone, at Deere

lever which was lying across the wooden
base, when he accidently showed it for
ward. The rapidly REVOLVING stone
caught the other end. jerking the handle
out Of his hands, and striking him with
terrible force on his under jaw. The
force of the blow lifted him off his feet
and threw him across to the other side of
the grindstone. He was picked up
unconscious and carried into the office,
and DR.. Dunn telephonad for. When
the doctor arrived he ordered the man ia

was accordingly done 1t was found that
no bones were broken, though his under

inches long. and his tongue, which had

was cut fully half of. DR.. Dunn sewed
