UNTAXABIE HOMESTEADSs
Governor Rogers of Washington Issues g
Iamphlet on the subject.

Iamphlet on the subject.
TACOMA, Wash. Dec 15.-Governor-
elect Rogers has issued Il copyrighted
pamphlet containing about 1000 words,
and entitled Free Land" A copy has
been sent to the members of the legis.
lature which meets next month. He
takes the position that free land is ''an
inalienable, imprescriptable and inde-
structible" ght of man, and draws
lessons from the freedom and enjoy
ment of the Puyallup reservation In.
dians, which he thinks results from
their free, inalienable and untaxabls
homesteads. His position is supported
by quotations from Emerson, 1ngersOu
and Seneca. In conclusion, he pro.
poses an amendment to the state con.
stitutiOn, providing that real estate and
all usual improvements, to value OF
not to exceed 81, 500. occupied as a
homestead by any private family, the
head of which is a citizen OF the United
States and this state, shall be
Forever Exempted From All Taxation.
The exemption is limited to home
, steads. The pamphlet says that the
amount excepted by this scheme would
not exceed 10 per cent of the entire val
uatiOn. He said such "a plan enacted
into law will prevent THAT fatal clash
of the classes otherwise inevitable. >
The pamphlet concludes:
County government should be abol
ished or reduced to the merest skeleton
of what it now is. Townships anG
municipal government can attend tt
local affairs let the state be called il
where necessary

Unless the Eei'hstag Does Something

WASHINGTON. Dec. - Unless rel ef
can soon be had fro,n the reicnstag. the
entire sugar industry Of Germany is
likely to be organized for self protec-
tiOn into ii gigantic syndicate or trust,
with the purpose OF regulating produc-
tion and controlling prices. Tn.s is the
view of United States Consul Mason,
at Frankfort, set ont III an elaborate
report to the state department upon
the recent state % the sugar industry
in Germany. Only last May law was
enacted to help cut the sugar growers
and makers, as this Is now the on Y

The act was passed at the demand of
the aglarlan party. ye- already the
sugar makers are appealing to

duclng interests from the consequences
| Of the very act passed for its salvation
and which have presented themselves
promptly and i'll most serious form.
Mr.. Mason tells how the act has failed,
and instead of limiting production, has
| had the very opposite effect. The in
crease of the exportl bounty has also
| reduced the price of sugar in foreign
markets, and the German farmer re-
ceives no more than he did before the
increase, while the government loses
| heavily. Then. too, France and other
European nations have responded by
an increase of their export duties which

leading and unjust to Senator Kyle.

member that the calamities he
complains of fell upon others as
well as himself A few years ago
l arrived in this county, bought a
good farm and paid for it; all went
we'll until the wet fall of '93; then
came the hailstorm of '94, which
scattered my grain promiscuously
over the ground; the crop of '95 I
fed to hogs which would not sell
for cash enough to pay for the salt
they had eaten, to say nothing of
grain. too, have worked like a
"tiger" and find myself wreck
both physically and financially.
But Notwithstanding all these ad-
versities, God forbid that I, to bet
ter myself, should enter into
combination to squeeze the life out
of those that have aided me, and
must deal with me or do without
bread. l do not feel that the peo-
pie of this county are especially to
blame for these calamities. We
would not feel them at all had the
Bland silver bill become a law; if
congress had listened to General
Coxey and set the idle men at work,
Mr.. Schwalbach' flour would now
be in demand; every mine would
be running on full time; our farm
produce would bring a good price;
every starving child would be fed;
money would be so plenty and
cheap that a bushel of our wheat
would buy a dollar instead of 20
cents as now; instead of forming
trusts and combinations to cinch
our more unfortunate neighbors,
let us hope, pray and vote for the
c0nsumation of these possibilities.
