SEEMS to us that there is an ordinance
in the city code providing penalty for
the throwing of old papers, ETC., etc.
into the streets and back alleys, and
this ordinance should be enforced. AL
most every runaway that has occurred
in this city during the past five years,
has come as result of loose papers
blowing around in the streets or alleys,
and some of these days, if thus nuisance
is not abated, the city will have big
damage suit on it's hands. Better en-
force the ordinance and save expense,
and perhaps life and valuable property.

they pat Hill and Cleveland on the back
and tell us what great statesman these
relics are.

WE wonder if the republican dailies
that tell Us of the craftsmanship and
wonderful wisdom of Hill and Clcve-
land, intend to abandon Mark Hanna,
and support these ancient democrats in
the coming campaign? If Hill and
Cleveland are the embodiment of poll
tical wisdom. It's all the dailies declare
they are, then the dailies ought to make
them their acknowledgements.

bonds and per cent. dividend on its
stock. The stock was put into the
Northern Securities company at $1,000
per share. par value of 800. 90 per share.
1t market value was SID per share.
So the value of the road per mile for
purpose of taxation was in accordance
with ruling approved by the United
States supreme court at least 5000. 90
Il mile. 1t was assessed throughout
this county and state on an average of
less than 81, 900 Il mile, or less than one
eleventh of its actual value. 70 put
the fact correctly in 1901, the ordinary
citizen in the city and county paid
taxes on the full market value of the
property while the railroad paid on less
than one eleventh of the market value
of the road.
The county of Thurston has II 1910
'j2s0 miles of Northern Pacific on which
the company paid $3,2l0.S2 taxes. If
they had paid taxes as You and pay ON
the actual val ne of this property they
would have paid Sl32, los. %. In other
words they did pay S13, 2l0. 50, whereas,
they should have paid S32. los. 20. To
state it in another way, they did pay
-, HOSP, Il difference in favor of rail
road as against other taxpayers of the
county of Sis, S97.3S.
What is true Of Thurston county is
also true of kittitas. and while we have
no taxpayers league to agitate the mat
ter, we believe our taxpayers are tired
of 50 much discrimination in favor of
the Northern Pacific as against the
common people.

Killing of the Natives.

Washington, Special-The incom-
ing Philippine mail brings the. full
printed record of the proceedings of
the court-martial cases Of Major l..
w. T. Walled and Lieutenant John Il.
A. Day, of the Marine Corps, growing
out cf the killing of some native
bearers in Samar The record shows
that Major Waller was acquitted Of
the charge of murder but that Gen.
eral Chaffee, declaring that there
has been a miscarriage of justice in
this case" disapproved the finding
and acquittal, with the exception that
while Waller should not have been
found guilty of murder, the court
should have Included lesser Of
fense.
General Chaffee's endorsement is
very strong, and he declares that with
the exception Of two who deserted,
no overt acts were committed by the
natives, who, on the contrary, "sent
to their death, continued to the last
to carry the arms and ammunition of
the men after they were no longer
able to bear them, and to render in
their impassive way such services as
deepens the conviction that, without
their assistance, many OF the ma
rines, who now; survive would also
have perished."
