The house, without wasting time,
proceeded to business today, and before
the session closed had passed three bills
OF considerable importance. and the
first of the regular supply bills-that
for pensions. Three of the bills re.
lated 10 postal matters. One provided
for the use of private mailing cards of
the same general size and character as
the present postal cards, when one cent
stamps are affixed. Another provided
for a limited indemnity of $40 for the
loss of registered mail matter, and the
third provided for a private carrier
service in towns and villages where no
free delivery exists. The pension bill
was passed without factious opposition.

FREE LAND"
The Title OF "A Pamphlet Written by
Governor-E Elect Rogers.

Tacoma, Dec. 15.-Governor-elect
Rogers has issued a copyrighted pamph-
let containing about 1900 words, and
entitled Free Land" A CODY has
been sent to members of the legislature,
which meets next month. He takes the
position that free land is an "inalien-
able, imprescriptable and indestruct-
lble" right of man, and draws lessons
from the freedom and enjoyment of
the Puyallup reservation Indians,
which he thinks results from their free,
lnalienalbe and uDtaxable homesteads.
His position is supported by quotations
from Emerson, Ingersoll and Seneca.
In conclusion, he proposes an amend
ment to the state constitution. provid-
ing that real estate and usual improve
ments, to a value not to exceed So, 500.
occupied as a homestead by a private
family, the head of which is a citizen
of the United States, and this state
shall be forever exempted from all tax
alton of every kind. The exemption
is limited to homesteads.
The pamphlet states that in no state
would the amount exempted by the
amendment exceed 10 per cent of the
total valuation. He says that such a
plan enacted into law will prevent
that fatal clash of the classes otherwise
inevitable" The pamphlet concludes
as follows:
county government should be
abolished or reduced to the merest
skeleton of what it is now. Township
II municipal government can attend
to local affairs; let the state be called
in when necessary
