John d. Rockefeller in an address to
some young university students, said ::
''Tis mans christian duty to get all
the money he can" We are in the dark

the young students took it with all due
allowance, as coming from a worshipper
OF the golden calf and a very rocky

And now we are to be further taxed,

OF evil-disposed men, who have by sub
tie argument and the wiles of dishonest
politicians gained the ascendancy, but it
is only temporary; the producing class
cannot be kept in bondage longer; the
frauds, the deceits and the lies so UNI
blushingly used during the last cam.
paign are made apparent by the present
depression, by the reduction OF wages,
by the millions of idle men, and by the
inability of the administration to fulfill
its promises. The hundreds OF honest
industrious men, driven into petty
crimes by want and being punished by
the very ones whose heartless treachery
has driven them TO the deeds, while the
thievlng milionaires and politicians 60
free, is something that is being consid-
cred by all labor organizations, and the
injustice is crying in tones that can no
longer be ignored, nor can they any

Pianos.

There are many cheap, inferior pianos
in the market which can be obtained on
almost any terms. They are dear at any
price. A high-class instrument may cost
a little more, but it is cheapest in the
end, besides being superior in tone and
volume, and much more satisfactory.
Such one is the Wing piano. You can
have twenty days trial OF it without cost,
and if not satisfactory it may be returned
Terms reasonable. For particulars call

The Nidetta wants the uERAII

The Nidette wants the HERALD to ex-
plain how tariff on logs would improve
the logging interests on Grays harbor.
That's easy. If there is 50 tariff on logs,
the Sound lumberman could not import
cheap(?) Canadian logs, don't cher know
Then the Grays harbor loggers could
ship their output to the Sound by rail at
a profit, don'tcher see; and thus relieve
the situation here. That's the way the
tariff often works-makes the consumer
pay long unnecessary rail haul.

The project OF a bicycle path between
Aberdeen and Montesano is all right as a
private enterprise, but for the county to
put any money in it while. there is as yet
no wagon road or even a cattle trail,
would hardly be fair to the taxpayers
and producers. What is needed above
all is road between the producers OF
the upper end OF the county and the con-
sumers OF the harbor towns Such a
road might have been built this summer
with state aid had it not been for the
Hoquiam kickers.

through the medium of an income tax?

ial Paper of the City OF Aberdeen.
FREE TEXT BOOKS.

The new school law, among other good
hgs, provides for the submission to
voters OF each school district in the
te the question OF furnishing free text
ks and supplies. AS the election will
| held in few weeks it is time the
tier was taken up and discussed, so
/ the voters may be prepared to vote
diligently upon the question and for
best interest of the district.
fhe law relating thereto is as follows ::
RSection 106. At the annual meeting
tile election of school district officers
1t subsequen. to the passage of this
there shall be submitted to the
klitied electors of each school district
question Of providing free text books
supplies for the use of all pupils at

$t, and for levying tax sufficient to
et the expenses thereof. The vote

those favoring the question shall have

/ books and supplies, Yes and the
lot OF those opposed shall have the
IDS: Furnishing free text books and
Splies, No.

es mentioned in this act be in favor
furnishing free text books and sup
es, it shall be the duty of the board of

election therefor and is doubtless for
benefit OF cities where the school
|ctions are not held until after the
lying OF the taxes, hence is not appli-
PIE to Aberdeen or any other district
Iere the election is held during the
Inner
There is but one side to the question
/ far as the desirability OF free text
bks is concerned; they should be sup
ed as freely as the tuition, building,
The only argument that can be
ought against the proposition is that Of
pense to the district. Here again, it
~ be said that the total cost OF books
3 supplies where they are furnished
| the district will be less than they now
], as each book will be used by more
pills before it is worn out, the cost be-
thrown upon the district instead Of
J individual members Of it.
(lr Mock, secretary OF the Tacoma
lool board, estimates that the books
supplies for that place could be pro-
led from the proceeds OF levy Of six
this OF one mill If his estimate is
rect, one mill would certainly be
Pugh. Surely no taxpayer could OBJ
L to one-mill levy for such a lauda-
purpose, especially as for subsequent
hrs one-fourth or one-half of one mill
|uld be all that would be required.
Under the law the board is required to
IKE rules and regulations for the use
b care of the books. If the pupils
build donate to the district the books
BY now have, in consideration Of the
OF books OF higher grades as they
} promoted, which is fair proposition
ID which the board might justly re-
ire, the initial cost of providing free
1t books would not be worth mention
B, considering the benefits to be de-
Jed. What say you, shall we have free

The Republican papers are busy tell
ing the dear people that the municipal
elections in the east didn't mean any
thing nohow, that they just let them 90
by default. All the same, in Ohio the
contest was for control of the local ma
chinery in the interest Of the senatorial
candidacy of Marcus Aurelius Hanna
against John r. Mclean, Democrat, and
the latter won. A decidedly substantial
pointer, we should say.
