of State taxes thereon is relieved
from any interest in requiring such
corporations to pay their full and
equal share of these taxes.
The proposed system as a whole
is at best merely experimental, and
on it's face lacks The essentials of
permanency and stability.
Ii recognizes doctrines of taxation
pernicious in principle, inequitable
in present application and dangerous
in their future possibilities.
Every business interest presently
affected would be held in constant
fear OF being more seriously burden
ed, and every active industry not
affected i'm the first instance, would
be kept IN a state Of unwholesome
uneasiness as to what the future
holds in store for it.
Each recurring session of the Leg
islature would be besieged by the
various property interests and devel-
oping factors OF the State, asking
relief or immunity from taxation,
the one at the expense of the other,
and all would suffer from the menace
OF an extravagant or corrupt exercise
of the taxing power of the govern
ment
1t is a most radical departure from
our resent constitutional methods
OF taxation, is Of more than doubt
ful efficiency and undoubtedly vicious
in policy.
1t relieves the owners of large
tracts of undevelopcd lands from
payment of State and State school
taxes, and places the burden on tho
production arising from the develop
ment of other lands.

1t makes the business of develop
ing the great resources of the State
an unlawful business, only to be en-
gagged in by governmental permit.
Its tendency will inevitably be to
retard developmot, drive active capi-
tai out Of the State and deter other
active capital from coming in.
1t will unsettle and disturb our

tion TO construe its provisions and
requirements.
We believe that an extraordinary
session of the Legislature for the
purpose Of passing upon or consider
ing the tax system submitted by the
Commission would be useless and
wholly un warranted by existing con-
ditions; and that it would entail a
needless expenditure of from s4o,-
600, to $4,000 Of the public moneys.
We further believe that our pres
ent system OF taxation, defective
though it may be in some matters of
detail, is founded upon the true
principle and correct theory of
taxation, and that it will be far
wiser TO seek to COZ rect the defects
existing therein than to supersede
the same with system so radically
different therefrom and of such
doubtful value either from the stand
point Of principle or utility.

Schemes Without Merit.
The Yakima Republic Dsnounces the Schemes
And Schemers as it Certainly Should.

The reputation of Yakima county is
greater than is appreciated by the PEG
pie here, but it's value is appreciated
by good many promoters and advent
urers who never saw the country, as Is
altested by numerous Yakima schemes
that have been sprung on gullible
public and have brought their pro-
moters good hard money that never
was earned. Yakima lands at $40 an
acre have been advertised all over the
East and sold to unsuspectsng investors
who know that the Yakima valley is
wonderful country. These lands are
on the dessert hills miles from irriga-
ting bitches, and will he as worthless
in 10000 years as they are now. An
other favorte scheme is to organize a
company, with an alleged capital OF
from one to five million dollars. Osten-
sibly to build irrigating systems, but
actually to locate homesteaders under
the canals that are going to be built
at $50 or 800 each. The promoters OF
these schemes talk as eloquently as
Cicero about storage reservoirs, about

This scheme is merely one of twenty

HISTORICAL SKETCH
A BRIEF HISTORY OF KITTITAS
Circumstances Which Led Up to
Organization of Kittitas
County.
FACTS REGARDING EARLY FORMATION
". II. Peterson, Once County Supt. and Auditor
Gives Interesting and Reliable Data
Good Reading for All.

The bridge was built by Jacob Durr.
The money to pay for it had been sub
scrihed by the citizens of botn Yakima
and Kittitas valleys, but on account of
so many subscribers failing opay their
subscriptions the bridge passed into
the hands of the contractor and was
operated by him by the consent and
under the control of the county, as a
toll bridge. The parties operating it
got tired of the job and sold it out to
the county for few hundred dollars.
My old friend Gilland now deceased
with whom stopped during the county
settlement, and who all the old settlers
of Kittitas will remember as the pro-
prietor of the Gulland House and
most loyal friend of Yak ina, stoutly
insisted that kittitas had cheated Yak
ina in the settlement. When told
that the court house and bridge were
valued by Mr. Filloon he would say
that Peterson and Filloon were brother
democrats and stood together against
Yakima.
The first instrument fled for record
in Kittitas county was filed on the 22nd
of December 1884. The first marriage
license was issued on the 9th of Jan
uary. 1884 to John G. Allison, now de-
ceased, and Amy "A Childs.
DR.. |. n. Power, now residing in
CleElum was the first physician who
registered in the county.
Quite a number of people living in
the new county thought its creation
premature. Some of them thought the
county was to poor and sparselv settled
to be self supporting and confidently
predicted that its warrants would go
begging in the mrket. They truth
fully said that, only three or four years
before, the warrants of Yakima county
sold sluggish in the money market for
forty to fifty cents on the dollar. In
connection with this remember that
the first order issued to me in payment
for my sevices as county school Sup
erintendent of Yakima county ia
1881 was caShe at 60:tS per dollar
1t was issued just in time to catch the
rise from 20 cents to 90 cents.
The board after canvasing the f.
nancia condition of the new county,
without a dollar in its treasury, and
knowing that there could be no taxes
collected until after the next assess
ment was made and placed into the
hands of the sheriff for collection, re-
solved to do every thing in their power
to keep up the price of county orders.
TO this end each Of them worked most
