HAMMOND TRIED
TO BREAK JAIL

A Helena paper reports that few
days ago George F. Hammond, the
Bearmouth (Mont) train robber in
jail at that place, tried to make his
escape by holding up the jailer with
a wooden gun covered with tinfoil
The Jailed turned in an alarm for
achievements and when they arrived
and a search was made they found
that Hammond had a file and dirk
in his trousers.
1t is not generally known and has
never been published that Hammond
had planned a jailbreak in the coun-
ty Jail during his stay here. He
went in cahoots with Schomers and
it was fixed that the act should be
committed when Jailer Dooley came
on in the afternoon. Schomers was
to overpower the unsuspecting officer
with a six-inch knife he had stolen
from a plumber who had been work.
ing in the Jail.
After the jailer was attended to
the other IA were to get the keys
and make their exit. Frank Scanlon
gave the deal away to the authorities
and the thing was off.

REPUBLICANS ASKED
TO EXPLAIN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 21.-
Another chapter in the democratic
handbook, dealing with certain phltses
Of the Philippine question, was CIV
en- out today. 1t deals with the re-
publican attitude toward the liberty
seeking Inhabitants Of the islands
1t draws literally from the views of
Cleveland, Bryan, Olney and General
Miles. The textbook demands from
the republicans a clearer exposition
of their Philippine policy, setting
forth that Roosevelt simply tells
the American people that it would
be unwise to tell them what his next
step will be.
TT would not be at all surprising
il the party which has freely admit
ted states unprepared for statehood
and Americanized commonwealth to
increase their own power, should in
some desperate emergency admit the
Philippines to statehood merely to
strengthen it's life in congress and
the electoral college"

Authorized BY Republican Central
Committee Of Spokane County
ASSESSORSARE GOVERNED BY EXIS TING
REVENUE LAW OF STATE---TURNER
ORGAN OVERL00KS SOME THINGS.

Voters of Spokane county should
remember that there is state law
which provides for the manner in
which the railways of the state
shall be assessed, and it makes no
matter whether an assessor is re-
publican or democrat, he can not ex-
ercise methods contrary TO the pro-
visions of the Washington law. The
people have seen held up to their
view for months past in the columns
of the morning organ of the Turner
corporation juggled figures which
were published because they tended
to throw discredit upon a republican
county official. Since their publica-
tion the field has been widened into
the proposition that the republican
party of the state of Washington is
not ready to ask the railroad corpora
tions of the state to pay their just
share of the taxes.
As usual, in the articles published
in the Turner organ, the view has
been that from an abnormal vision.
the difference between correct view
and that published arising largely
out of the lens of personality and a
state of mind bordering on either
apoplexy or Mysteries. Assessments
in this county have been conducted
as they have been throughout the
state, and have no relation whatever
to a commission bill. Regulation of
freight rates has no connection, ex-
eept in the mind of the writers on
the Spokesman-Revfew, with a rail-
way commission bill. The present
revenue law is on the statute books
of the state of Washington and no
plated can control assessments of the
present year, no matter how the
Turner organ may see At to cast sup
posed light on the question. The
fact is that the discussions of the
Turner organ of this city have tended
more, through false statement, and
false deduction from true statement.
to befuddle the minds of the tax
payer than all other agencies. At
best the revenue law of this state
is too little understood by the aver
age farmer and it's workings and re-
cults are seldom grasped understand
ingly. What should be kept in mind
is the fact that the present revenue
law is the only agency operative and
is governing and has governed the
assessors of the state in fixing taxa
tion. That is very different ques-
tion from the enforcement of any law
which will make the railroads reduce
the cost of transportation of goods.
Without any attempt to defend the
provisions of the revenue law, there
are some things about it in the mat
ter of assessment of railroad property
which may not be known to the tax
payer of Spokane county. Those con-
siderations should in no wise be in

WHO WILL WIN?

Word was sent to the board Of
public works this morning that the
Washington Water Power company
was trying to double cross" the
boards and the protesting property
owners on Maxwell avenue.
The foxy Mr.. Huntington and the
smooth Mr.. Richardson sent out emf
saries the other day and induced
members of the property owners
to agree to meet repre-
sentatives of the water power com
pany to discuss the plans for restor-
ing the avenue to the old grade.
When the street car company ruin
ed the pretty avenue by cutting down
the middle of the street without au-
thority, the property owners sent in
a vigorous protest. The board of
public works stood by the property
owners and ordered the street car
to restore the grade.
Then it was the despoilers of the

public street sent in the cheeky prop
osition to have the CITY or the prop
erty owners pay half of the expense
of repairing the damage done.
The property owners committee
appeared before the board and a
plan of action was agreed upon.
Then the foxy autocrats of the
public thoroughfares, finding they
could not influence the board, turned
their attention to the property own
ers. The scheme is to persuade the
property owners to throw down the
board of public works and consent
to plans formulated by the crafty
street car emissaries.
Just at present the members of
the board of public works are won
dering whether the property owners
will be won to the point of siding
with the street car company and in
such event are also specializing on
how much 1t will cost the Washing
ton Water Power company.
