Personal Tax Exemption.

At the coming general election an
amendment to the state constitution
is to be voted upon. This amendment
provides that the constitutional pro-
vision relating to taxation shall be am
ended by adding the following provis-
ion. "That the legislature shall have
power by appropriate legislation to ex-
empt personal property to the amount
of $500 for each head of family
liable for assessment and taxation
under the provisions of the laws of this
state, of which the individual is the
actual and bona fide owner"
Such exemption as is contemplated
above was provided by the state laws
and allowed without question until the
Populist legislature of 1897 met.
Among the freak bills which grew out
OF that gathering was one granting to
every person an exemption oil $500
assessed valuation of property. The
natural result followed. The law pro-
viding this exemption was taken into
the courts and declared unconstitut-
ional.

passed bill providing for the submits

Decrease OF Salmon Admitted.

FAIRHAvEN, Sept. 16.-Oswald Steel
president of the Fairhaven Canning
Company, is authority for the stale
ment that all the eanneries now rum
ming on fall salmon are losing money
and were it not for the fact that they
have surplus often on hand they
would not be running at all. Silver
salmon now are worth thirty cents at
the canneries and the price OF the case
product entails loss to the Gamer Oh
thirty-fye cents on each case. Mr.
Steel says there has been marked de-
crease in the fall salmon in each OF the
eight years he has been In the business
and favors an increase in the cai'acity
OF the state hatcheries to keep up the
supply.
The Alaska Packers Association
ceased fishingin Puget sound waters
yesterday and will begin Immediately
to pull out its traps in the vicinity OF
Point Roberts. Only one or two can
neries IN this section has packed any
fall fish, and the combined total pack
of the cannery at Semiahmoo and the
one at Point Roberts is 10000 cases.
They expected a light pack this year,
however and are not complaining.
AS an evidence of their faith in the in
dustry they will, begin work at once
enlarging the capacity Of both Gamer
les in order to take care Of the big run
of sockeyes that is due next year.
The capacity of the Semiah,noo can
merry is $500 and the Point Roberts
cannery 1000 cases per day. Each
will be given capacity, by the con-
templated improvements, 5000 cases
per day. ~ sa
There have been no large run ol
silver salmon as yet, except those re-
ported far out in the straits. The
best day in the canneries here since
the end of the sockeye season was on
Friday of last week. The Pacific-Am-
erican fisheries had total of $1,000
fish here and at Friday harbor, the
Puget Sound Packing Company had
4 500 and the Fairhaven Canning Com.
pany 800. The supply since then has
been very light.-P. /.

Price Of Fir Logs Falls.

ABERDEEN, Sept. 13.-The drop IN.
the price of logs, which has been long
expected, has finally come, one OF the
largest mills in the city giving notice
to the loggers that it will pay but 70
per 1000 feet for fir logs from the
present time. Aside from accepting
logs which may have been contracted
for, it is thought that any of the mills
will pay no higher price. The price
heretofore has been $3.50 per 1000 feet
but at this figure the scale has been
very close.
The market is glutted with logs and
the mill meninsist that the high prices
they have paid for logs and the high
schooner freight rates with the low
prices prevailing in the lumber mar
kets leave them too close a margin for
profit.
Both the loggers and mill men are
seeking Tor additional outlets Tor their
products. A petition is in circulation
in the city asking the Northern Paci-
fic railroad for reduction in rates on
roughlumber to the Missouri river, and
is being signed by all of the business
men. The loggers are trying to arrange
for log shipments by rail to The Sound.
II is understood that they get a first
rate Of $1,O0 per 1000 feet to the
Sound, by furnishing daily train load of
200, 900 feet. At 81, the rate paid on
the Sound, there would be 81 margin
over present rates here, nut a combi-
nation of the loggers would be neces-
sary, in order to guarantee such daily
shipments for any period of time.-P.

TINE was when the. rivers. of the
New England states teemed with sal
mon just as did the streamss-of this
Coast until within recent years, but
they were not properly protected I'M
til too late and this fish became prac-
tically extinct so far as the Maine
coast was. concerned. In the Sacra-
mento river the salmon have almost
disappeared, andthe runs of the Column
bia river are noticeably dwindling, SO
that the salmon canneries can
not secure enough fish to work on be-
cause OF their scarcity. The Captain
of the Albatross, the government fish
commission boat, in a lengthy state
ment reports similar conditions exist
lug along the great coast of Alaska
because of the abuses practiced by the
cannerymen, and now on Puget Sound
we must face the issue squarely and
take prompt action to prevent the
wholesale extermination of the finest
aud best food fish we have.
ONE of our leading lumbermen who
was an ardent silverite tour years ago,
is now strong supporter of Mckinley
This is his reason. Four years ago he
owed considerable and wanted the
cheapest money he could get to paw
his creditors, but during the present
administration he has prospered, has
money in the bank and wants it to re-
main the best in the world. He was
on the wrong track then and, like
hundreds OF others, is intelligent
enough to profit by the lessons of the
past three years. He expresses the
silver fight, it was the fruit of ADVERSE
/ ty, the desire to get something cheap
for the other fellow; pure selfshness.
1t was an idea, not of philanthropists,
but Of seekers after ofice-a temporary
expedient, which has now given place
to another temporary expedient.
