Spokane Review: The Washington
legislature had a very narrow escape
from saddling on the people OF Washing
ton pestilential measure that Oregon has
Just been relieved Of, and young Wheeler
is entitled to the lasting gratitude OF the
people Of the entire state for his efforts in
securing in the 18th hour reconsidera-
ton of vote by which the infamous
mortgage tax law WAS allowed to pass
unamended. Wheeler's amendment al
most completely offset the mortgage tax
clause introduced by NeergaId and
made the new revenue law a reasonably
we'll balanced measure.

has been received from high official
source on the Northern Pacific company
that owing to the burdensome provisions
OF the Anderson and Neergard bills the

Tacoma News: Mr.. Cleveland was re-

be it can make no difference to the great
, mass of working newspaper men; they
expect to ask him for nothing and to the
true newspaper man whose paper is in
any sort of aourishing financial condition
, there are few federal positions which
have any attraction.
