THE TAXPAYERS LEAGUE.
A Thing Of the Past Considered In Connec-

A Thing Of the Past Considered In Connec.
ton With the Present Agitation.
By Byron Millett
It has not been so very long ago
since an effort was made by some Of
our citizens to organize q taxpayers
league in Thurston county. 1t was
significant that the press Of Olympia
gave the movement all the moral sup.
port in their power, yet the taxpayers,
generally speaking. in this community,
did not give us very much of their
time and energy in that direction. BY
the decease of Col. Owings the bottom
seemed to have dropped out of the
whole business. The Colonel was an
able and aggressive man; outspoken
in his convictions, believed in charac-
terizing things by their right names.
We miss him very much, and are not
apt to look upon his like very soon in
this old, historic, conservative COM
munity, who do not wake up till they
are cinched. Just now, We hear much
grumbling about the excessive county
tax levy for current expenses. Why
did not the howlers get in earlier and
try to right matters in that regard At
the proper timer Committees might
have been selected TO confer with the
Commissioners and other county Off.
cials, gather up data, make reports At
the meetings, and use their best efforts
to reduce expenses to q minimum.
Something Of that kind will have to
be done, one Of these days, if we expect
to grow - . community. The high
taxation is retarding and crippling our
growth. Our real estate agents tell ~
that our heavy tax levies are knocking
out many Of their embryo sales. Yet,
Tor tho most part, they only complain
in private. are afraid to speak out, for
fear that some soft.pated individuals
may call them cranks.
The writer once heard Col. Owings
remark that he had some regard for .
crank. for he tried to move things,
even il he did not always go about it
in the right manner; but fool he
had no use for whatever. When Mr..
Bryan was in Olympia, he remarked in
bis usual forcible style: eff you don't
get it in your head, you will get it in
the neck"

your eyes?"
"Why, Angeline, DEAR" replied

MILLIONS LOST IN STAMPS.
But the Government Derives a Benefit From
Every One DESTROYED.

Every One Destroyed.
NY Herald
An experienced clerk in a branch
postoffice says that Uncle Sam is in
pocket every year more than $1,OOO,-
600 by purchase of postage stamps
which never are used.
"How many stamps" he asked, do
you lose through carrying them
carelessly in your pockets and fishing
them out again glued together and
useless? How many do you put in
corner of your pocket-book, finding
them again months later looking like
anything but postage stamps? OF
course, nobody ever thinks of sending
such stamps in for redemption. Sup

little oiled books came in; but many
persons lose their books, and the aver
age is about the same.
"Some persons actually come back
to the stamp window and ask if lost
stamp books can be traced like bank
books. Another way in which Uncle
Sam gains is through tradesmen send
ing out letters enclosing stamped, ad-
dressed envelopes for replies, which in
the majority of cases are never used.
"Some business houses collect such
envelopes and redeem them, but few
take the trouble to do this. rhink of
the thousands of return postal cards,
too, that are never used. Lots of per-
sons are careless of putting stamps on
letters or papers, and they fall of.
Then the matter is held up for double
postage on the other end of the line.
"a great many persons put on too
much postage. They slap two two
cent stamps on letter that would
have gone for two cents. It is amaz-
ing how little information usually
we'll informed persons have about diff
ferent classes of mail matter. They
pay for it, too, and pay we'll. The
beauty of our postal system is that
the government gets the benefit of all
mistakes"

L Was Not His Fault.

They had been married only . few
months and the wife stood by the side
of her husband looking into the de.
partment store windows. A hand
some tailor.made dress took her fancy,
and she left her husband to examine
it more closely. Then she went back
TO him, still talking.

planned. "You don't care how l
dress. You don't care for me any
more. Why, you haven't kissed me
for two weeks"

Turning, the lady looked at him
and gasped. She had taken the arm
