REDUCTION IN SALARIES.

The house has passed the Mills
bill, which provides for sweeping
reduction in the salaries of all the
county officials in this state. In
counties outside of King, Pierce and
a general reduction of
from % to SO per cent. is made.
King county is in the second class,
and the bill establishes the follow
ing reduced salaries to apply there:
County auditor, $4,000; clerk, 81
200; treasurer, 50 400; sheriff, 81
400; attorney, s2,2OO; school super
intendent, $4,000; commissioners,
$500 and expenses; assessor, 81 800;
surveyor, 81 per day; coroner, ST.
900. This bill first classes the
counties and arranges the salaries
of the officers in accordance with
this classification. The bill is now
before the state senate and will
doubtless become law. At pres
ent it is hard to determine just
what effect the bill will have on
our local county officials.

THE RAILROAD BILL.

The railroad bill has been defeated in
the senate. At this time it is impossible
to estimate correctly the causes that
cOnspired to bring about this result OF
this, however, there can be no doubt:
the senate has failed in the performance
of plain duty. If the bill as it came
from the house was Objectionable by
reason of its extreme provisions it
should have been amended and not
entirely defeated. The Republican
party was pledged to a reduction in
railroad rates, the governor recon-
mended such reduction in his mes
sage to the legislature, and nine-tenths
of the people of the state, regardless of
their political affiliations, are in favor
Ofsuch reduction. 1t seems incredible
under such circumstances that reason
able measure could not have been
framed and passed. The motion by
which the bill was defeated should be
recOnsidered and an honest attempt
made to so amend the bill that it can
command the support of the senate and
of the house. The members of the
senate have serious duty to perform
in this connection and they should rise
to the emergency.-P.-I
The bill above referred to was
known as the "Helm Railroad Rate
Bill'' and fixed the rates for freight
on all of the railroads in this state.
The republicans as we'll as popu-
lists made this an issue in the late
election and promised relief to the
freight ridden, railroad cursed grain
growers Of Eastern Washington.
But the third house had too strong
hold on the state senate to allow
the passage of bill which would
effect the interests of a single rail
road company, party pledges to the
contrary Notwithstanding. With a
railroad attorney for U. S. senator,
and the railroads licensed to charge
any prices they may wish, we have
much to feel thankful to our repre-
sentatives for, CD insomuch as the
interests of the ''Dear Railroadsn
have been we'll cared for.

THE RAILROADS.

TEN thousand tons of new steel rails
have been ordered by the Baltimore &
Ohio.
THE New York Central is assessed on
1886, 795 worth of property in the city
of Buffalo.
W..R. MCKEEN, the father of the'"Van-
DALAI railroad system, is said by his
friends to be the most popular railroad
magnate in America.
ALL passenger equipment of the Bal
timcre & Ohio road is to be fitted up to
heat the coaches by steam. This i'm.
provement includes 1913 Pullman cars
run on the B. & o. system.
NINETEEN trains leave Chicago for
New York daily over nine different
roads, forming, in combination with
seven eastern trunk lines, II distinct
routes, with the same number of trains
daily for the eastern metropolis.
e O. MCCORMICK, passenger traffic
manager of the Big Four, has intro
duccd a new practice which will be
popular with the travelling statesmen, it
enabling them to pay excess baggage
by taking the amount from the regular
mileage books.
THE railroad bonds of the United
States eat up every year S240, 100000 in
interest, which every passenger and
every pound of freight helps to pay.
The stockholders of our railroads fare
badly, averaging less than per cent.
About two-thirds Of the railroads of the
country do not pay their stockholders

were fashioned after swords, helmets,

others bear distant resemblance to a

SOME of the sculptures found at MIN

1000 B. c., are of wonderfully delicate
workmanship, and excite the admira-
ton of the sculptors of to-day.

were greatly needed by the ladies Of

PAYMENT OF TAXES.

The amendment to the revenue
law reducing the penalty on de-
linquent taxes to = per cent, and
the interest to II per cent, and
making provision for the payment
of taxes in two semi-annual install
ments, the first installment payable
May 81 and the second November
80, has passed the senate and will
undoubtedly become a law. This
bill covers the taxes for 1894 which,
are now payable, and will be a
welcome relief to taxpayers. The
liberal legislation in this particular
and also in the matter of renting
the penalties on back taxes that are
delinquent, is entirely proper.

A NUMBER of Representatives and
Senators voted against the rail
road rate bill on the ground that it
would be detrimental to Western
Washington farmers to be brought
into direct competition with East
ern Washington grain growers,
through cheap freight rates. This
is sort of section legislation we do
not quite understand, but think
that if the time has come when one
half of the State has to "legislate"
against the other half, that we
would be better off if the territory
which is contained within the
boundary of our State was divided
into two states, with the Cascade
Mountains for the dividing line.
