This shows total saving for one year Of
road and other carrier rates were prac-
tically the same as those that prevailed
-FOUR years ago. The saving, therefore,
arises from cutting down hotel, restau-
rant, hack fare and other Injuries. Dur
ing the four years of his term Auditor
Cheetham expects to save on these lines
alone more than $4,000. In short, the con-
slant vigilance. exercised by the State
Auditor oyer the peoples interests com
mitted to his care Is worthy of all praise,
and is In keeping with the spirit of
watchful economy practiced by the whole
Fusion state administration.
The importance Of Mr.. Cheetham's posi-
ton In the state government was aptly
expressed by United States Senator Tur-
ner. who said to him soon after his cleo
ton: Friend Cheetham. as far as the
public interests are concerned there Is
more at stake In the running OF the Aud
ftor's ONCE than any other save the Gov
ernors. Let me give you a hint. Give
no claim against the state the sanction
OF your name until you are fully satisfied
of its justice and legality. Be in no hurry.
Let the other fellow wait" Mr.. Cheeth-
am caught on to this advice, and with
the hearty cooperation of Governor Rog-
ers and the heads of other state depart
ments, and of It's institutions, together
with the wiling acquiescence of nearly
all the county officers, he will be able to
render the best account for Off cial COM
potency and economy that the State of
Washington has ever received from his
department.

We extract from the official records in

we recommend that Republican editors
paste in their hats for constant reference.
On the 30th OF September. 1896. two sep

Company assigned this tract to the North

property. on November 4. 1895. for a con-
sideration OF $f.917.O. each parcel, or a
total of sf4a. S34.0s. and the deeds were is
sued on November 9. 1896. The close prox-
unity of these important transfers to the
election which proved so disastrous to the
Republican ring 'boodlers" Is very sug-
gestive to say the least. Let there be an
investigation.
Space Is not at hand to enumerate scores
and hundreds OF smaller tide land steals.
Here is a sample OF the many: Lot II.

In March, 1896, for s1ss to J. NJ. Frnk.
After running the guantlet OF several as
signments IL went to Charles T. Bartlette

not look as II that class of property suf-
fered decrease in value.
One might mention instance after IN
stance where the state received less than
800 for harbor lots, as the appraised value
fixed by the Board OF Tide Land Commits
sioners, and assignments OF the same re-
corded in the Land Commissioners office
show sums realized for the same ranging
high up into the thousands. These facts
can easily be verified by anyone by an
examination OF the official records. They
cannot be denied. And the rlngleaders
who managed these thefts desire to get
back into place and power this fall by cap
turing the Legislature. Is II any wonder?
What will the voters do about It?

departments work Is found in the new
policy promulgated by the Harbor Line
Commission, which Is under the new law,
one and the same with the State Board
OF Land Commissioners, OF leasing haroor

these valuable lands OF the state to go
reproductive is a mystery. Governor Nc
Graw called attention to the necessity OF
leasing these lands in 1895. but the pres

occupied them without paying anything
was sufficient to prevent 1t. or possibly

The New Fusion Regime
We quote from the Fusion statute es-
tablishing the present department OF pub
lie lands as follows:
"The Commissioner OF Public Lands,

tendent of Public Instruction shall consti-
tute the Board OF Appraisers, Harbor Line

ton, appraisernent, sale or lease of school,

ment of harbor lines. lease of harbor area
and selection, and which have been grant
ed, or may hereafter be granted to the
State of Washington by the United States.
and who. for the purposes of this act,
shall be generally known and designated
as the Board OF State Land Commission
ers."

important work OF the state government
on the 18th OF January, 1887. Now let us
see what they have achieved for this peo-
