But why is it that with all their
prompt payment of taxes, due and
overdue on tho part of the people,
and assumed more money in the
tresurie why have taxes been in
creased? Why is it that even the
Spokesman Rev ew, the tail of the
fusion party, cries out against high
taxes, and failed in securing re-
dress at the hands of the eqaliza
ton board of fusion commissioners,
who didn't know how to control
that paper Why are the taxes of
Whitman, Spokane and Lincoln
counties higher to-day than they
were In years heretofore? Why
In the name of the Great Jehovah,
has not civil law been paramount
IN Whitman county by the way?
Can the county commissioners of
Whitman show any public improve
ments beyond the ordinary run of
expenditures? No. Have those of
Spokane built any jails to hold for
further use floating vote for the
forthcoming election, or any other
purpose? No. Have the commits
sioners of Lincoln county did any
thing in the way of extra expendi
lures? Not exactly; but they were
unable to figure up the amount of
the Northern Pacific railroad com
pany's delinquent taxes, ADD that
escaped the payment of
many thousands of dollars into the
county treasury. The commission
ers of the three counties named are
fusionists, or have a ajority on
the board, and it would be well for
them to tell to the public what they
have done with the funds resulting
from increased taxation. 1t viii BE-
well for them to explain why, in
order to decrease county indebted
ness and secure questionable po|it

A FORCE OF ASSOCIATION.

J. Hamilton Lewis is being tax
en- to task by Tom Reed, Chauncey
NJ. Depew and c. II. Grosvenor for
classifying facts, and they do not
content themselves with talking to
associated press reporters and hay-
ing their statements telegraphed
broadcast all over the Union, but
they have written letters over their
own signatures to the Tacoma Led
ger and the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer, declaring that the hirsute
congressman from Washington to
be as careful IN the employment of
truth as the average hobo is in the
use of water. TO be plain about it
and descend to the level of some of
fusion-would- be gentleman in ex-
preston, they unanimously declare
that Mr. Lewis is guilty of telling
intentional falsehoods worse still,
