YOUREX MURDER TRIAL.
Evidence for Prosecution Will Be In Today
List of Jurymen

Evidence for Prosecution Will Be In Today.
List of Jurymen.
Special to the HERALD:
Montesano, March 27.-The trial of w.
j. Yourex for the murder of County Com
missioner Silas Smith at Cosmopolis last
October, has been the chief attraction at
the county seat this week, and is the
subject OF conversation everywhere in
town. The line OF defense has not yet
been revealed, although it is surmised
that insanity will not be plead, but the
prisoner will rely on claim OF self de-
tense, and allege such irregularities in
the legal proceeding upon which the war
rant for the arrest of Yourex was based
as to preclude the idea that he was legally
under arrest when the shooting occurred,
and that he was only defending himself
from an attack OF armed men, unclothed
with any legal authority.
The case was called at IL O'Clock Tues
day morning. Yourex, accompanied by
his grief stricken wife and his counsel,
w. II. Abel, betrayed the deepest inter-
est in the proceedings, and closely scanned
the countenance of each juryman as he
was passed, as though looking for glim-
mer Of sympathy. BY five o'clock in the
afternoon the following jury had been
selected: B. f. Williams, j. F. Lord,
M. Magll, II. E. Hunter, E. B. Couch,
Andrew Smith, S. A. Young, r. Atwood,
Freeman Watson, Elmer Mowbray and
Francis Smith.
In opening the case County Attorney
Hutcheson briefly outlined the evidence
he proposed to introduce, which, he SAID,
would prove the shooting of Slas Smith
to have been premeditated and williul.
Attorney Abel made no opening state
ment, and, after Mr.. Hutchinson s address,
Constable Fenwick, who still suffers from
the wound received at the hands Of
IoureX at the time of the murder, was
placed on the stand. lie testified as to
his having arrested Yourex at his place
on North river; bringing his prisoner to
Cosmopolis, and the events leading up to
the tragedy, and introduced the COM
plant and warrant under which he had
acted. The defense objected to the in
PRODUCTION of these documents, and the
balance OF the afternoon was taken up
with arguments on this objection, which
was finally overruled.
Yesterday was occupied in taking testi-
mony for the prosecution. 1t is thought
that all OF this evidence will be in today
and that the line OF defense to be adopted
will be revealed tomorrow.

JONES GETS HOT
TAKES REVENUE SUGGESTIONS
TOO SERIOUSLY
Audacity in Suggesting Better Method of
Increasing Valuation of County Than His
Instructions to Deputies.

County Assessor Jones wakes wroth at
the suggestions of the Daily Bulletin and
HERALD, that the assessed valuations of
the railroad right of way and tracks
should bear the same relation to their
actual value as does other property as
sessed for taxation, and unburdens his
mind of more than column, of what
the Vidette facetiously calls facts. The
trouble with the assessor appears to be
that he takes himself too seriously, in
imagining that any objections taken to
the methods of collecting the revenues
of the state is to be assumed to be an
attack upon his management of his
office.
This is mistake. We are all familiar
with the means adopted by the railroad
companies to lessen their burdens Of
taxations, and with the actions of boards
of county commissioners and the courts
in upholding those methods, notwith-
standing that the law requires (foolishly
we think "that all property shall be
assessed at its true and fair value in
money" We do not believe that the
assessor wishes to 60 on record as believ
ing that the assessment of $3.50 per
mile is the full cash value of the railroad
right of way, nor that that figure bears
the same proportion to its cash value
that is given other property that is listed
<ov hot &c "a NJ
sought to be made by this paper. The
values placed upon property for taxation
make no material difference to the tax
payer, so that all values are relatively
alike.
Mr.. Jones cites the facts that the Bull
letin and HERALD plants are each as
sessed at 500, although known to have
cost more, and makes q humorous at
tempt to establish ratio between these
valuations and that Of the railroad. In
this he is unfortunate, for his line OF
argument. The railroad right of way,
grade and track is assessed about one
sixth OF the amount of bonds that have
been sold against it, and the mortgages
may be trusted not to have loaned be-
yond its value. At this ratio these news
paper plants would be worth 81 200 each
and Mr.. Jones we'll knows that this sum
could hardly be raised upon both of the
plants, including the non-taxable good
will, which may be more valuable than
the plants. To reason this in an opposite
way from that humorously adopted by
Mr.. Jones, let us assume the $4,000 per
mile of bonds to be the value OF the road,
and that the paper plants cost $1,000
value, as at present, would make the
proper ratio for the newspapers 5000

governments began, and the HERALD is
not disposed to find particular fault with
Assessor Jones because he cannot adjust
all the inequalities he finds, although he
can remedy some OF them. But he must
first get himself into different state OF
mind from that in which the Vidette
screed was penned.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1902-03-27

each, and our TREND Jones could thus
arrange the true ratio without the ardu-
Gus undertaking of establishing a paper
City. 1t is to be regretted that, when
giving the valuations of the two papers
he imagined were after him, in CRITICS.
ing the manner OF collecting revenue,
that Mr.. Jones stopped at that. He
might have made a very readable column
by giving the personal property valua-
tons of some other mercantile and manu-
featuring plants. For instance, we inn
agine the published detail lists of the
fifty largest and the fifty smallest tax
payers in the county would be quite
interesting, and would be conclusive
evidence OF the equality of valuations
and equality is all that is required of
him.
Our republican friends, with the
faculty of holding office, will probably
never forget-and certainly will never
forgive-the indignant people who, in
very desperation, drove them from the
court house in 1896, as unceremoniously
as Christ drove the money changers from
the temple, and never omit an oppor-
tunity to throw left handed compliments
at the hated "populists." Listen to Mr..
Jones on this sore subject:
"The old populist idea of raking the
man up the back, that pays large tax,
and cursing him because he don't pay
more, is hard thing to down, and be-
lieve that will be justified in saying a
pOpulist once populist always. The
remedy for it is as severe as aqua FORTS
for removing grease from cOat-when
the grease is eradicated the coat is like.
wise eradicated, and when he stops his
yawp it will only be when he turns up
his toes"
It's good two to one bet that when
Mr.. Jones read that in cold type he felt
as did the parrot after its famous inter-
view with the dog-that he talked too
much. Ii once a populist always popu-
list was fact, Mr.. Jones would not be
signing himself county assessor, the
truth being that those he designates as
despised populists were largely republi
cans disgusted with the actions OF their
party in this county, and who returned
to their party in time to elect Mr.. Jones.
How they will be pleased with the pri
vate view OF them held by that gentle
man, publicly expressed, we can better
imagine than describe.
Friend Jones errs, knowingly or
thoughtlessly, when he says this paper
has biennial, or any other kind OF a
kick at the railroad company, and the
inference conveyed, that it is influenced
by political motives, might be replied to
in kind by suggesting that the earnest
ness of the defense of the light assess
ment of the company was somewhat
strengthened by free transportation fur
nished the assessor, contrary to the state
constitution he has sworn to uphold,
but we will not. That he has such
transportation is not personally known
to the writer, and we shall not initiate
our critic by printing suggestions and
impugning motives.
The subject of an equal distribution of
the burdens OF government has puzzled
statesmen and political economists since
