ASSESSING RAILROADS.

In another column of this issue will
be found Il synopsis of the report of the
assessors meeting at Spokane last week
regarding the assessment OF railroads.
Every taxpayer in the county should
read it, and all of them, no doubt. will
approve of the position of Assessor
Harry CoonSc. He stood for an increased
assessment all the way through. signed
the protest against the majority being
overruled by the minority and says he
will assess the railroads and their rolling
stock in this county at Sl0032 per mile.
This j. only an increase of S2ll2 over
the assessment of last year and it is
strange that the assessors who repre-
oppose such Il small advance. The day
is coming in this state when the assess
ment will be raised much higher. And
there is no good reason why is hould not
be done. The valuation placed on the
railroads when the merger was formed
was over $4,000 per mile, other property
in the state i assessed at from 90 to 100
per cent OF its value and it is simply
ridiculous to make such II discrimination
in favor of the railroads. If the North
ern Pacific was ii new line. struggling
to pay expenses and largely bcnehting
the people by developing the country,
there might be some excuse for it. But
it is earning big dividends. it can afford
to pay and should not object. The peo-
pie, without regard to their politics,
should support Assessor Coonse in the
stand he has taken.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1904-02-10

The Herald takes pleasure in calling
special attention to the statement pub
lishcd in another column of Clerk Il. X
Nichols of the school board of this dis
trict. 1t is complete ana comprehensive
and shows that the members of the board
have been as careful in eXpcnding the
$4,000 voted by the taxpayers for new
buildings as they could possibly have
been if they had been spending their own
money. Few people stop to think of the
amount of work involved in looking af-
ter the schools in Il district of this size
1t takes great deal of the time of the
trustees. who serve without any compcn-
sation whatever, and when gentlemen OF
the character of those now composing
the board are willing to devote THEN
time to this arduous duty, they should
be kept in their positions. This is cs-
pecally true of Judge II. h. Nichols
one of the trustees and also clerk of the
board. Ills efforts IN bcnal1 OF the
schools have been faithful and untirine
and when the election occurs next
month, if he can be induced to accept
another term, the taxpayers will very
likely insist that he be retained in that
position. One trustee for term of one
year and for three years are to be chos
en- at the election, Mayor Fechter hav
ing been appointed to fill the unexpiret
term of Mr.. Cannon, resigned. The
mayor. also, is as good a selection a,
could be made and the people will make
no mistake if they vote to keep the pres
ent excellent board intact.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

At Washington last week. the mat
ter of dividing this state into two
judicial districts was taken up for the
first time by II sub committee of the
house judiciary committee, This is a
subject in which North Yakima is inter
ested. as it is altogether likely, if the
state is divided into east and west dis
tricts, as it should be, that sittings of
the federal court would be held in this
city. Congressman Jones was on hand
before the committee to argue for east
and west districts, but was opposed by
Congressman Cushman and Humphrey
and Samuel Hill of Seattle, who want
the line to run from east to west in or
der that Tacoma and Seattle may not
be in the same district. The sub-c COM
on, refused to make recommendation.
suggesting that the Washington dele
CATION get together on the proposition
and present the matter to Il meeting of
the whole committee. Senator Foster, it is
said. also favors an east and west line.
but Senator Ankeny should certainly
stand for north and south division
Such an alignment would make the dele
CATION stand three to two against the
east and west districts. which max de-
feat the measure. If it does, eastern
Washington will simply be amde the
victim of the jealous spirit of Tacoma
and Seattle. There is absolutely no
merit in the proposition to make north
and south districts and require judges,
lawyers and litigants to travel clear
across this wide state to attend court
If the house judiciary committee will
take this into consideration it should
decide the question, Notwithstanding
the division in the Washington delega-
tion. 1t will be next to Impossible for
them to get together on the proposition
and congress ought to take the proper
action without regard to how they
stand.
