DEsTRL +, ZION ON BIG RUN.
Three Persons Have Very Marrow Es-
capes From Drowning

Big Run, June 29-Monday's storm
in this section was very severe and
destructive. The various streams rose
with startling rapidity. They were
out of bank and the water carried ev-
erything before it. A serious accident
happened here. a team belonging to
Chas. Sisk, of Valley Mills, was
drowned. The man in charge of the
horse came near losing his life also.
1t all came about by the driver at
temting to cross Big Run when it was
bank full and running out very rap
idly. The team had no more than
started across when they were over
whelmed and swept down the stream,
The horse soon became entangled IN
some drift wood. The teamster yelled
for help and Mr.. Sisk, who was con-
siderably behind, finally reached the
scene of the accident, but was unable
to liberate the horses. The driver es-
capped. The drift soon broke and the
horses and wagon were swept on
down the stream. They were seen
passing about three miles below here,
but so far have not been found,

REPUBLICAN WARRANT FOR
CERES.
Defalcations, Forgeries, Plunderings
and Extravaganza characteristics
OF the Old Regime.

We have avoided calling hard times
against the Republican ring masters of
the last administration as much as pos
sible, although the facts warrant very
plain language. 1t is a fact. and a re-
sponsiblity which the Republican Party
cannot dodge that the wicked and care
less extravaganza that prevailed in almost
every department of State and County
Government from 1898 TO 1897. was made
doubly criminal by a system of downright
forgeries, which may yet deprive the state
treasury of a vast sum of money, and
which must in any event result in great
loss TO some one probably the banks and
the trust companies that handled the
forged paper.
The Republican press has disclaimed re-
sponsibiity on behalf of its party for the
Evans forgeries, and other individual Re-
publican rascalities, on the plea that there
are always black sheep" to be found in
a political party, and in the language of
the chief Republican organ OF the state,
that 1.-THE Fusion Party will do well II II
escapes with having discovered no greater
number OF rascals than were found in the
Republican administrations"
This is very weak pleading indeed
when we consider that the reckless ex-
travagance, neglect of duty and dividing
with contractors, as well as the criminal
waste of the tide lands which prevailed
invited to holder acts of criminalty.
Had the Republican Administration pre-
vaIllng under Gov. McGraw been prudent,
economical and honest: had there been
general good government, there would
have been no individual official crimes OF
an astounding character to answer for.
As 1t was. the official atmosphere Of the
state, with here and there honorable ex-
eeptions, was surcharged with the bac-
terla of political corruption, which prov
ed epidemic by both infection and conta-
gion. II was calculated to breed crime.

our foreign trade. II also provides that
cheese must contain a certain percentage
or butter fat. and that II must be branded
TO indicate its quality. This applies to
cheese shipped from other states as well
rs cheese manufactured in our own state.
The enforcement of this law has driven
poor cheese out Of the market. and will
build up the cheese industry on a right
basis. The last Legislature cut the an
preparation Of the Office of Dairy Com
missioner for expenses for two years ono
thousand dollars. notwithstanding this
fact, the present commissioner has dono
his work better and in a more effective
manner than IL was ever done before.
The value OF butter manufactured dur
ing 1875 was l.S3S,657 pounds. During 1897
II was 2,9i0 t57 pounds. an increase OF 255 =
NO pounds. or about II per cent. The value
OF cheese manufactured during 1896 wa,
5o4. l23 pounds. During 1897 100. 3Gi pounds :
Increase 155,l41 pounds, or about 30 per
cent. After making a tour Of most Of
the state the commissioner is convinced
that the same increase will be made this
year in every part of tho state. except the
Big Bend and Palouse sections. where tho
high price of wheat has given a black eye
TO the dairy industry.
The present dairy law is working we'll
ana the commissioner is doing his whole
duty.

ably presents the whole truth in the
premises, thereby saving much time and
labor. condensation of this document
in part shows that:
Commencing in the year 1854, the Terri
torial Legislature exempted from taxa
ton real and personal property of reH-
gious benevolent. literary and scientihc
institutions, territorial and county prop
erty school houses and lands, public IL
braries places of burial and property OF
certain Indians. Such continued to be the
law until 1871, at which time the Terri
torial Legislature enacted a law contain
ing among other things the following:
THAT household furniture to the value
of one hundred and fifty dollars shall be
exempt from taxation
The same law was re-enacted IN 800, ana
again in 1877. on the latter date, hoWeV-
err, the exemption was reduced from one
hundred and fifty TO one hundred dollars.
In 1879 the Territorial Legislature re-
enacted the same law, increasing the ex-
emption as follows:
"Household furniture to the amount or
two hundred dollars in value for each
family, all wearing apparel in actual use,
and food provided for the family not TO
exceed one years supply
The same law is found in the Territorial
Code OF 1881, and was carried forward in
the laws of the territory until the state
constitution was adopted in 1889. There
never was time from 1871 down TO tho
admission of the State of Washington to
the Union in 1889 that a certain amount of
personal property was not exempted from
taxation
For nearly a quarter OF century the
people had by legislative enactments ex-
pressing their will exempted a certain
class of personal properly in order to en-
courage immigration, and 10 assist the
thrifty pioneer settlers who oft'imes be-
gan life here on very small means. This
had become a fixed policy and was very
generally approved, and il the consttu-
ton that was approved in 1889 IS defec-
tive In granting powers to the Legislature
to carry out the same good plan, no time
should be lost In amending IL so that am
pie scope for legislative enactment for
the purpose may be granted. That 1t is
the policy of the Fusion Party to make
liberal exemptions of private personal
property while the conditions in the state
demand 1t Is forcibly shown by the en-
actment OF the Legislature OF 1877, and by
expressions made in the conventions of
the party held before and since that time
But let us see what provision the
constitution OF 1889 really did make on
this point of personal property tax ex-
emption. II is clearly set forth In article
!, section 2 as follows:
provided. further, That the property Of
the United States. and Of the state, coun-
ties. school districts and other municipal
corporations and such other property as
the Legislature may by general laws pro-
vide, shall be exempt from taxation"

and that crime was the result could nave
surprised no one acquainted with the fac's
and conditions existing.
The most notable violation OF law was
committed. 1t is charged. by the tneh
Deputy State Auditor Evans, whose Tor
gerfes and publications OF state warrants
aggregate a sum anywhere from slU"Vo
TO $4,000. Evans has fed, and therefore
the state IS deprived of his SIDE OF the

plices and that his absence ana siehNe

II was the business OF Deputy Auditor
Evans to make out and issue state war
rants, signing the name OF the then Stale
Auditor Frost thereto, undermining ~ WIN
his own as deputy. 1t may be SAID thht
all this could have been done ana was
done without the knowledge OF the Audlt-
or, but had the latter been more dllgeh.

deputy for committing this class OF OF
lenses would have been greatly mininllzeu'
It is known and generally admitted tnas
Deputy Auditor Evans. for whose arrest
and conviction the Fusionist Governor mas
offered a substantial reward, had dam
uerous and not sufficiently restricted ac-
cess to State Treasurer Bowers office.
and that this unfaithful official Evano
and Deputy Treasurer Lindsay were ek-
changing Official duties and responsiolh'
ties to degree not consistent with the
public welfare.
In whatever manner and by whomso-
ever II was done. certain it Is that Evans
had an access to the Treasurer's Office
which enabled him to carry out MS plans
more perfectly than he could otherWise
have done. The mere forging OF Ireasur-
er Bowen's name was not the only thlhg
necessary to shield the crime. There were
records to be kept up, and in some cases
at least this could not well have been
done single handed.
However, 1t is not the intention to re-
fleet on any individual official or private
citizen connected with or supporting the
late Republican Administration. That IL
left to others. 1t is a work for the OH
GERS of the law. But the whole outrage, to-
Itical plunderings in state and county
must be charged against the Republican
Party. and must remain as a cloud upon
the leaders and officerhoders of that po-
litical organization for a long time TO
come.
