TREASON TO THE DELEGATION

The Seattle Times says:
Evidently Oregon and California
have some influence at the national
capital. Anyhow San Francisco and
Portland scooped in the entire con-
tract for hay and oats for the Philip
pines while the Washington senators
were entertaining their friends in pop
ular restaurants. 1t seems to us that
we have heard that Senator Foster
knew more about lumber than about
statecraft-and it may turn out that
his colleague knows more about rails
ing horses and cattle in Eastern wash
ington than about attending to the at
fairs of the state. California has about
as much right to contest for govern
ment supplies Of this character as
Washington has to contest for a sup
ply of oranges and lemons The
whole performance is too ridiculous to
be treated serously-eXcept that this
single act may become a precedent ana
the Puget Sound country be left out IN
the cold altogether. Certainly it is Mons
sense for Seattle commission men to
bid against similar men in Portland
and Frisco if the latter are to have the
support of the United States senators.
all from Washington senators. This
is a mighty big hint to the chamber
Of commerce.

upon which to levy the annual taxes,
State Grain Inspector Arrasmlth,
through his chief deputy, S. S. King,
has addressed another letter to county
assessors, asking their advice in re-
gard to what they consider the most
practicable method of tabuiatlng
statement such as is contemplated, says
the Tacoma Ledger
Yesterdays mail brought in big
batch of answers to the second COM
munication, and the county assessors
thus far heard from are unanimously
in favor of using a small book in which
to put down the figures. Two methods
were originally proposed. one being
that the office of the state grain COM
missioner furnish county assessors with
small books, properly ruled and head
ed, for the field deputies to carry in
connection with their detailed lists. and
the other that each field deputy be fur
nished with a rubber stamp printed in
blank form to be stamped on the de-
tailed statements. AS stated, the form
er suggestion has received the unani-
nous Endorsement of the county as
SCISSORS who have responded to the let
ter asking their advice on the matter.
The small book is deemed most prac-
ticable for many reasons, principal
among them being that when the in
formation in reference to the grain
acreage in each county is compiled it
will be in one complete volume, obvi-
ating the necessity and trouble of the
field deputies wading through the en-
tire assessment for the purpose of seq
regating the items. Especially conven-
lent will the book system be- it is said,
in the counties of Western Washing
ton, where the grain acreage is not
very large compared with the east side.

A well informed business man says

Because of its advantages in giving
quick connections with trains for all
points over twenty commercial traF-

and. as most of them are married men,
their trade is of much benefit to the
town Moreover, several train crews
are kept here now who would pronahly
reside elsewhere if Walla Nalla were
placed on the main line of either the
o. X. & n. or the Northern Pacific.

man has thrown new light on the ques-

CASTING Up PROBABILITIES.

MI David Graham Phillips in Har-
per's Weekly, makes an interesting
forecast of election figures. He peril
nently inquiries into the reasons for
republican doubt concerning that par
tvs chances in New York. New York
gave Mckinley substantial majorities
in SO and 1900. and it hasn't had
democratic governor since '94. 1nese
things being so, why should there be
republican uneasiness?
The war between Platt and Odell is
given as the cause. New York will
elect a governor on the day when it
votes for d president, and the nominee
necessarily Will be a Platt or an Odell
ma With the bosses at war the knife
will be piled by the factionalists. If
the nominee be an Odell man, Platts
followers, strong in the city and by
no means weak in the state. will fight
him for jealousy's sake, even more
vigorously, says Mr.. Phillips, than they
fought Odell in 1902. If he is a Platt
man. the Odell people upstate will bat
tie to down him. And in Phillips opin-
ion the presidential stake will not have
sufficient Importance to cause the fac
tons to suspend war; especially in the
event of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination,
since both factions are hostile to him.
Mr.. Phillips doesn't go as far as he
reasonably might in weighing the i'm
pediments to republican success in the
Empire state. Republican pluralities
have fallen steadily since McKinley's
lead Of 100000 eight years ago. In '9S
Governor Roosevelt had 1900 plurali-
ty In 1900 Mckinley had 100000. In
1902 Roosevelt's plurality was cut to
5000 for Orell. In this election there
were enough scattering elements to
number seven times Odelrs plurality;
enough, indeed, if added to the dem
margin of $4,000. The recent New York
election demonstrates clearly enough
the alliance of the scattering and in
dependen elements with democracy.
The truth of the matter is that eight
years seem to have wiped out New
York's republican plurality.
Another fact must be considered: the
attitude Of the famous business inter-
ests'' toward Mr.. Roosevent Much de-
ponds upon that. And the more rea-
sonable prediction is that much Of this
former backbone of republican strength
in New York will be against him.

REMEDY FOR TAN-DODGlNG.

The following from the Oregonlan
applies with equal force to the state Of
Washington:
publicity is the most unpleasant
thing in the world to many people
they whose deeds are evil love the
darkness of privacy. In exact ratio
with its unpleaSantness is lit power as
a remedy in certain cases. Its use to
overcome the disease of haZy diagnosis
known as the trusts is being tried, and
no doubt it will prove efficAtiOus if the
application is made without regard for
the patients shrinking.
The use Of publicity in an instance
of more local concern is suggested by
the Oregon Law School Journal which
puts it forward as a cure for the tax
lodging that has become notorious
throughout the state. We would re-
commend complete publicity" says the
Journal, as certain remedy against
the evil of tax-dodging. The assess
ment Of each person liable to assess
ment in a county should be published,
as IS done IN several Olner states. De-
fore the county board of equalization
meets. in the leading newspapers pub
liShed in the county, The article then
goes on to explain the action of such
a law in the states where it has been
enacted. The state of Illinois now has
such a law. and its effect is magical
Each person is made aware of his
neighbor's list of property given to
the assessor, and if such neighbor omits
any of his property he is compelled to
hasten its correction. The law has
brought about a revolution in the state
with regard to equal and just taxa
ton, and it is almost impossible for
one to escape his just proportion Of the
taxes
THE remedy is simple, and a trial
might prove very beneficial to Oregon

WHITMAN COLLEGE WINS.
Interstate Debate Decided in Favor Of

Whitman's victory in the University

caused great excitement among the
students of Whitman college and their
joy on receiving such welcome news
was demonstrated very forcibly in var
ious ways.
A number of Billings hall residents
while waiting for the returns to come

and quiet reigned once more when the

and rubbish and around this circled a
ing night hideous with their college
yells' and war whoOps." The in
mates of the ladies' hall as eagerly ex-
pressed their appreciation of the news
by "yells" and songs.
The winning of this debate is a
strong point for Whitman as the Uni
versity of Oregon is a very worthy OPP
ponent. This was the second of the
intercollegiate debates between these
schools. The question was, us the In
