At the assessors convention held in
Ellensburg, WASH. timber land valuation
was discussed. 1t WAS decided to assess
lands estimated at 100000 feet to the
quarter at $40 an acre, those with 4.OOO,-
600 $3.50, and those with :, 000,O 900 feet 81
per acre. Like all job lot valuations. this
is arbitrary. Perhaps no part Of the eco.
nomic system Of government in this
country is so generally wrong as the de.
partment over which the assessor rules.
To secure absolute values is impossible.
There are times when there is no market
nor demand by which values may be
guaged. Again the work OF an assessor
to be even approximately correct requires
a knowledge Of values no one man can
possess. lie comes in contact with citi.
zens who think it no more harm to beat
the state than they do railroad. In the
assessing OF the timber lands OF this state
a proposition is presented that can only
be solved by the rule OF guessing. Until
the state cruises all the timber lands the
assessors can only fix values haphazard
or by arbitrary rule. Under the decision
OF the assessors many timber owners will
pay less tax than they should and others
too much. On many quarter sections six
million feet is worth several times what
it is on others.-West Coast and Puget
Sound Lumberman.

Apemocrn, on Calamity.

At the end of December. 1893, 27.2
per cent. of all the working people in
all trades were unemployed. AT the
end of March, 1899, the unemployed
amounted TO 1886 per cent. AT the end
of June the percentage was 1913 per
cent At the end of September 1t
had sunk TO AT per cent. AT present
1t is most Incidentally small.
How much these simple figures mean
of prosperity! How much they mean
of happiness In the home lives of hun
dreds of thousands! How much they
mean of welfare for the countryl

clans who would start another ''calam-
ity" campaign.

The recent appointment OF n stenog-
rapher at 5000 year. ms authorized
by the house committee on accounts,
recalls the fact that there are now
three stenographers employed by the
lower branch Of congress- who draw as
much money for salary as members OF
the house or senate. In what other
country does member Of the highest
legislative body and a shorthand
writer draw the same pay? 1t Is ad-
mitted that while congress Is in session
these stenographers. at 500 a week.
have great deal of work to do. but for
q portion OF each year they have moth
ing to do. The committee report au-
thorixing the third high-priced stenog-
rapher says: During the present ses-
sion Of congress the demand upon the
two stenographers has been greater
than usual. On many days six COM
mittees required their services. It is
becoming more and more the custom to
report the proceedings of committees.
as It has been found that the testimony
then taken has proved of great value in
subsequent proceedings. especially
upon questions involving appropria-
tions OF money"

THE PUERTO RICO TARIFF.

In his annual message to Congress,
President Mckinley recommended
that the products of the island OF
Puerto Rico he admitted to the United
States free of duty, and that the prod
ucts OF the United States be admitted
into the Island on the same terms.
When II came to the consideration of
this subject, the ways and means COM
mittee of the House of Representatives
found that the revenues of the island
had been insufficient to provide funds
for running expenses. There was need
of funds at once for administrative
purposes, for roads and other improve
ments, and this money must be fur
Under the conditions. 1t was deemed
best not 20 appropriate direct from the
United states TREASURY for these pur-
poses, but to impose small tariff on
TO Puerto Rico. and from the island to
this country. all of which could be
made available for the expenses of the
island. In connection with this, a
bill was prepared and passed, on the
recommendation of the President, pro-
viding that all revenue already collect
ed In this country from products COM
ing from Puerto Rico up to the pres
ent time should be turned over for the
benefit of the Island.
The only object in establishing a tar
III between the island and the main
land was to furnish revenue. without
direct appropriation from the United
States treasury, by which the wants of
the island might be met. The amount
OF the tariff is fifteen per cent. of the
rate established by the Dingley act
not fifteen per cent. ON the value of
the articles. As the free list ia very
large, and as the tariff in the Dingley
law is comparatively small on n great
many articles. this Puerto Rlcan tariff.
only fifteen per cent. of the Dingley
rates, can scarcely act as n bar 10 trade
between Puerto Rico and the United
States In fact, 1t gives practically all
the advantages of free trade, with the
additional advantage of revenue
which can be applied to the needs of
the island.
That is all there is to the Puerto
Rico tariff, except the question of con
stitutionality. or the right of the Con-
gress to establish any tariff 1t may
choose there is no doubt. 1t is strictly
In line with the constitution itself and

Charles NJ. Sheldon will tomorrow be-
gin the actual work of demonstrating
his ideas Of what a newspaper should
be. The first edition OF the Topeka
Capital under the direction of the
preacher-novelist will appear Tuesday
morning.
The members of the Capital staff, at
the request Of Rev. Sheldon, attended
services at his church, the Central
Congregational.
All of the Capitals regular staff of
editors and reporters will be retained.
with the single exception of General
Hudson. the editor-in-chlef, who will
take week of. Very many religious
enthusiasts have offered their services
to Rev. Sheldon as reporters, but all of
these offers he has declined, believing
that the regular staff can be moulded
to his way easier than raw recruits
could be trained in newspaper work
for single weeks effort.

Washington. March 12-Under date
of Dawson City. January II, Vice
Consul Morrison reports that nineteen
expeditions have left Dawson for Cape
Nome since December 9th last, and as
soon as the weather moderates many
more viii start.
The population of Dawson is G.000
less than last year. Late news from
Nome confirms the reports of the rich
ness of the district. and announces
new fields In the interior. but lnck OF
fuel prohibits these being worked In
winter. Typhoid fever has appeared
with increasing mortality.
In Dawson the revenue from liquor
permits for the year is placed at $780,
900. Saloon licenses are worth $500
per annum. Prices are still up. The
profits on drugs are placed at 300 per
cent. groceries 200 per cent, hardware
100 per cent. Beer Is worth 500 bar
rel. and whisky from $40 to 500 per
gallon. Owing TO flooding of the mines,
the gold output may be kept down. 1t
is estimated that between S25.0O0.OO0
