HARBOR AREA LEASES.

An uncertainty in the law, and
praiseworthy desire to obtain the most
thorough knowledge of the practice OF
seaport cities throughout the world,
has led the board OF State Land Conr
missioners to defer the preparation Of
lease regulations until the Legislature
should meet. The policy of the con-
stitution makers in creating harbor
line areas was that by the States aid
excessive tolls on commerce should he
avoided. You should provide nomi.
nal rate for leases, and ut the same
time restrict lessees' charges to an
equally low rate.

FOREST PRESERVATION.


FOREST PRESERVATION.
A measure which seems to me inn
pcratively needed is the creation by
law OF an adequate forest preservation
patrol, for the prevention of forest
fires, the preservation of our forests
and the punishment Of trespassers on
public lands of the State. Now that
the federal land grant is practically
completed, its preservation is the next
need in legislation. The destruction
of valuable property annually by fire,
runs up into the hundreds OF thous-
ands of dollars, to say nothing of the
destruction by floods, SO largely caused
by inundation of forests. With the
abolition of the State Land Commits
sion, as at present constituted, recon-
mcnded both by the board of State
Land Commissioners and the Commits
sioncr of Public Lands, in which rec
concentration l concur, it might be
well to create new land and forest
commission, to serve without pay, ex-
ccpt per diem and expenses for stated
meetings, who shall cooperate with
the Commissioner Of Public Lands in
formulating regulations for Forest pre-,
scrvatiOn.
Some such action as this has been
recommended in nearly every western
State, and the Federal Congress has
created Forest Commission of scien-
tiiic experts, whose recommendations
the State Land and Forest Commission
should be authorized to carry into
effect. Such commission as / sug-
yest should have as members scientists
and experts, chosen irrespective of
politics.
INVESTMENT OF PERMANENT SCHOOL
FUND.
On my recommendation, the last
Legislature authorized the investment
of the permanent school fund in State
warrants. The result has been graft
flying. Under the former system pro-
iitable security was almost impossible
to obtain, and the invested fund grad
ually crept up to Sl47 Bits, on No
vembcr /. 1894. On October 81, 1896,
there had been invested in State war
rants s2l2,S03.46.' bearing eight per
cent. interest per annum. No better
paper can be had by the State than
the States own paper. The system
practically amounts to taking money
out of one pocket, putting it into an
other and paving the school fund a
high rate of interest for the privilege
of doing so. Prior to the adoption of
this system, practically the best rate
of interest on securities averaged 81
per cent. On the transactions of the
past two years the current school
fund has therefore profited and will
continue to profit until the warrants
are redeemed at the rate of q per cent.

REELECTION OF STATE EXPENSES.
An act compelling citizens to act as
election officers without pay should be
passed. This would save the taxpayers
nearly $4,000 on single State election.
No good citizen should expect paw for
such services. The last legislature made
partial Redistribution of superior court
districts III accordance with NV recon-
lnendailon. The result has been salts
factory, but further reduction would do
no harm, provided that court commits
sloners Tor probate cases be appointed.
Mnnlclpalcoufts can also be abolished
with advantage. Incr!minal cases fees
and mileage should be abolished and
only actual expenses be allowed wit

A VERITABLE SMART ALECK.-A
twelve-year-old youth from Seattle
named Ross created a mild sensation
in this city a few days ago by a series
OF exploits rs a Jeremy Diddler that
fairly eclipse the early exploits of
Dick Turpin. All the capital he had
to work with was his native wit and
that seemed to be ample for the most
fastldious of tastes. His first act was
to obtain the name of prominent
citizen and this he used with potency
OF Midas wand to obtain various
articles of personal comfort. among
which were cufi-buttons and finger
rings, watch, suit of clothes, a
pocketknife, and carriages galore.
All these things were readily supplied
the presumptuous youth when the
same song was sung about Attorney
Haight being his dear uncle, who had
authorized him to purchase these arti-
Giles and have them charged to the
Haight account. His exploits finally
excited a suspicion and Mr.. Haight
when interviewed declared that he had
lost no nephew to his personal knowl-
edge. and the young man was arrested
for his misdeeds. He proved to be
grandson Of DR.. Willard. Of Seattle,
and after making restitution of the
goods was allowed to depart for his
home in the Queen City, if he has not
concluded to stop at Tacoma to teach
her citizens the lesson so well learned
by some of our people.

STATE DkET.
From a careful examination OF the
State auditors records YOU will see
that the increase of TIA State debt, if
taxes had been paid, Il .drr the present
administration from january ii, 1893,
to November |, 1896, has been $l14,-
1887. The debit Of tie State when
this administration began was 81 ,2O4,-
092jS. On November |, 1886, it WAS
-, lS5,03S.72. On November |, lS92,
the faxes delinquent and unpaid
amounted to SlJO,0OO, and on Noven-
Der |, 1896, the unpaid taxes due the
State amounted to S95J, 900. 80.
Under the administration $25l 600
Deficiencies left over by the last al
ministration have been paid, and
nearly $4,000 in interes; on obliga-
tions then incurred. total of $780,
0O0 Under this administration there
are no deficiencies, the last legislature,
on my recommendation, having passed
law rendering them impossible. You
will see that it is absolutely imperative
that the laws for the collection of
taxes should be rigidly enforced, no
matter upon what basis of expenses
YOU may put the State government.
1t is my opinion that large amount
in interest might be saved to the State
by pursuing the policy adopted by
their politics, in funding the debt by
issuing long term, low interest bonds.
At present our annual interest ac-
count on our outstanding warrants, at
: per cent per annum, is approximately
$4,000. Fund this debt, which will
require constitutional amendment,
and then insist upon keeping the State
upon cash basis, and you will have
easy burdens for the taxpayers and the
assurance Of prosperous and we'll
regulated State.

A SPLENDID ATTRACTION.-1he

Friday night, 22d, will be the ever
popular favorites Joseph Grismer and
Phoebe Davies, who will be seen here
in Sutton Vane's popular play en-.
titled Humanity" 1t tells an inter
esting story of love and war, and is
full of exciting and thrilling incidents.
These include sword fight on horse
back, II battle and an exceedingly
realistic explosion. The start of the
hunting party on an English estate in
the first act it is said, makes very
pretty scene. in which figure a half
dozen ladies and gentlemen on horse
back, and pack of imported hounds.
The play will be presented here in the
same exact manner. with all its
scenery, mechanical effects, etc, which
aided SO much towards its wonderful
success at the Columbia Theater, San

STATE INSTITUTIONS.

At the last session of the legislature
| recommended a sweeping reform in
the government of State institutions.
/ asked that management of State
institutions should be provided for in
one general act, all commissions,
directors, boards and administrative
officers to be placed under the
supervision of an examiner, who shall
act under the instructions of the
Governor i'll scrutinizing contracts, in
vestigating methods and discipline,
and in checking up disbursements"
This | considered then and consider
now the most needed reform in actual
State government. l hope that you
can see your way to effect it.
The State institutions | believe will
be found to have been as well and
safely managed as any in the United
States, and exceptionally well in most
instances. For details l prefer you to
the reports. 1t is proper here to say
that n judgment has been recovered
against the bondsmen of the late
warden of the penitentiary, j. II.
Coblcntz, for the full penal sum of his
bond, $4,000.
Without intending any invidious
comparisons, but with desire to call
your attention to their changed status,
| wish to say that under their present
management the State university, at
Seattle, and the agricultural college
and school OF science, at Pullman, the
elimination of our system Of in
tellectual and industrial EDUCATION,
have taken giant strides forward and
merit your special consideration.
REVENUE LAW REVISION.
Our revenue laws were modified in
the direction of refoim by the last
legislature. Much remains to be done.
Assessments should be based on actual
worth i'll money, not on speculative or
imaginary values. The cost of as
sessment, over 100000, is altogether
too high. A collateral inheritance
tax should be adopted. The reduction
