state-said to me at Tacoma the other

They drove us into the corral with
clubs, like a lot of cattle, and then
said, On you, stay there till we get
ready to lasso and brand you.
There have been times in this state
when the people We're driven into re-

never was a time when the dictation
ii was at Tacoma. That it will be
visited with the punishment winch
such political perfidy richly merits is
certainty The feeling is strong in
eastern Washington but it is stronger
in western Washington. The ticket
nominated at Tacoma will not carry
half dozen counties in the state.
What matter is it that Mr.. Farrell
was a democrat, and that the great
chief back in ST. Paul for whom he
acted was likewise a democrat? What
has party politics to do with such
Tacoma? The leaders of that con-
vention were prepared to debauch their
party and to wreck the institutions Of
our state government at the behest of
private and selfish interests. What
has republicaniSm or democracy to do
with that? Nothing. They are as far

are neither republicans nor democrats

simply Hessians, without conviction,

But to suggest that the people or
this state will not see the jackal par
aiding under the lions skin, or that
such performance can command their
respect and support, even though it
be labeled democratic or republican, is
to utter gross libel on their virtue,
their intelligence and their public
spirit.

Railroad Rule a Stencil.

And it is 50 because our political
opponents appear to have forgotten
these things, if they ever have known
them. Their politics, instead of COM
ing up from the people and being rep
resentative of their wishes and de-
sires. comes to them from the inner
SanctumS of two or three great trans
continental railroads, and instead of
endeavoring to control these railroads,
and other similar public agencies, in
the interest of the people, by wise and
lust laws, these corporations control
the present leaders of the republican
party in their own interests, thereby
retaining to themselves a free hand
to tax the people of the state at will
for services rendered to them. and
thereby retaining to themselves as we'll,
by and through the subserViency OF

The Question of Taxation.
"FeIIoW citizens, there is one fea-

of a railroad commission as important
as the regulatiVe feature to which L
have heretofore referred, and that is
its taxation feature.
Our constitution requires that all
property in the state shall be assessed
for taxation at the true cash value.
This is the only just system of taxa

seSsment of his property other prop
erty owners are thereby defrauded, be-
cause they are being required to pay
more than their just share of taxes.

that it is lived up to religiously in any
county in the state. In my own coun-
" the rule of assessment upon farm
property and city property is to list
il at about seVent- tenths of its cash

assessed at $4,000. and one worth
$4,000 at $1,000. and all other prop
