REBEL. AGAINST GAG RULE.

Nineteen of the SO county assessors
who have been holding a convention at
Spokane have repudiated the decision
Of q minority backed by the arbitrary
ruling of Chairman Peter of King
county, to assess first-class railroad
tracks at 1892 Il mile and have signed
An agreement to fix the valuation at
1890 Il mile. Assessor Bergman OF
this county is one of the fourteen as
SCISSORS Who voted for the lower rate.
The majority also decided to raise
the assessment of rolling stock from
$3.50 a mile to $500 for first ISIS
roads.
The assessors signing the majority
agreement are kenney, of kittitas;
Summersett of Lewis; Messenger. of
Garfield: Noble, of Lincoln; Watson, of
Island: Downing, of CowlitZ; Butler,
of Chelan: McClurken. of Franklin;
Coonse. of Yakima: Davis, of Clark;
Walton. of Adams; Wilson. Of Asotin:
VIII. of Douglas: Wilmarth, of Okan-
ocan; Miller. of ThurSton; Hopkins. OF
Columbia: Olson, of Jefferson: Max
field. of Clallam. and Wiley. of Mason
If Assessor Bergman adopts the
minority rule in making the assessment
in this county. it will be the duty OF
the county commissioners sitting as a
board of equaliZati ton to raise the val
uation to correspond with the decision
Of the majority at the Spokane con-
vantion. If the commissioners should
hesitate to do this. they should be re-
minded of their duty by a monster pc
litiOn of taxpayers.

CHICAGO Auto Show Opens.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 6.-ChicagO's an
nual automobile show opened in the
Coliseum today in Il blaze of glory.
The show follows closely the recent
exhibition in New York. though in the
number of exhibits the Chicago affair
is a little ahead of its eastern rival.
The entire ground floor of the Coliseum
and the annex is given up to the dis
play of complete cars of all sizes, de-
scriptions and prices, while the spa
cious galleries are used for an exhibit
ton of automobile parts and accesso-
ries. The show will continue for two
weeks, during which time there Will
be held a number of meetings of auto
mobile manufacturers. good roads ad-
vocates and others interested directly
or indirectly in the auto sport. The

ing Of the republic the names of men
who had to depend on their salaries
for Il living, we shall omit much the
larger and WOrthier part of the list.
President Hadley has probably been
largely misunderstood, however. We
do not believe that he meant that a
young man should first provide an
independent income before entering
politics. What he meant was that the
young man should first master some
profession or calling, SO that if the
time should come when he must
choose between evil and temporary re-
tirement, he would be prepared to
take the latter, confident that he
might be sure Of an honorable living.
Too many of our young lawyers be-
come politicians before they are more
than lawyers in name, and too many
men without standing or training in
any calling enter politics with 40 re-
sources of any kind to fall back on in
an emergency.

SHOULD OBEY THE LAW

In the weekly Argus of Thursday
appears what purports TO be a state
Inent of expenditures Of School District
No. for the year 1903. The statement
is not signed and there is nothing
about it to show that it is given out on
official authority. But the presump-
ton is that ii is the statement ordered
published by he board in resolution
passed just before the school election
in December.
With all due respect to the board
and concedng that the statement is
made in good faith. the Statesman
feels in duty bound to remind the d.
l.ectors that the report does not comply
With the requirements of the law.
Section o. Of the school code says that
il shall be the duty of the board of
education to make. as soon as posi-
BILE after the close of the school year

payers of the district showing in detail

TOUGH ON SPECTATORS.
The OragOniaO saws:

The OregOnian says:
The records of the Walla Walla land
office show a Wholesale abandonment
of the district by the speculative set
Tiers" who rushed in to take advan-
taee of the loose methods by which
land was secured until IL short time
ago. From the number of relinqu!sh-
ments that have been filed since the
axactions of the land office officials be-
came more rigid it is apparent that
thousands of acres of land in Franklin
and klickitat counties had been tenn
porarily withheld from bona fide se,-
Tiers by the men who had used their
rights solely for speculat tive purposes
and with no intention Of ever placing
their lands in condition for producing
CROPS. 1t is undoubtedly true that in
the aggregate thousands of acres of
rich land has been withheld from set
Tiers who would have improved it. had
not the "claim' Of some speculative
settler prevented them. When this
land falls into the hands of the kind
of settlers for which the government
intended it, there will be liberal in
products from the Pacific northwest.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-02-06

Nothing is said about money received.
The fiscal wear ended on June goth,
last and the following February is
hardly las soon as possible after the
date. Bat il is better late than never.
There is nothing in the report to snow
whether the report is for the fiscal
wear 1903 or the calendar year ending
January 31st.
However. now that the board has
made a start at making reports to the
taxpayers, perhaps it will do better in
the future and in time we may hope Tor
a full report in strict compliance with
the law.
Another provision of the law which
has in many instances been ignored
by the board is that requiring advertls-
ing in Il daily newspaper for competl-
tive bids for all supplies whose cost
shall amount to two hundred dollars.
Section 90 of the school law says:
In all districts contemplated by this
chapter. when, in the opinion or the
board. the cost of any lot of furniture.
stationery, apparatus fuel, building
improvements, or repairs to the same.
will equal or exceed the sum or TWO
hundred dollars $4,000. it shall be the
duty of the board to give due notice
by publication in at least one daily
newspaper, published within said city,
and if there be no daily, then in one or
more weekly papers, in three regular
consecutive issues. of the intention to
receive bids for such lots Of furniture,
stationery, fuel and other supplies. or
The board shall determine the speciti-
cations for such bids, which shall be
public
This plain provision of the law has
sometimes been overlooked by the
board.
For the protection of the taxpayers
the law requires competitive bids for
all important purchases and contracts
made by city councils, county commits
sioners and boards of education, and
the provisions of the law should In all
cases be strictly observed. Otherwise
there is a loophole left open for ques-
tionable transactions by which the pub
lie money may be wasted in eXtraVa-
giant expenditures.
The Statesman does not say that
there has been anything wrong with
the management of the finances Of this
school district by the present board OF
education, which is composed of most
estimable gentlemen, but it does say
that no public official should be above
the law. but all should obey its man
dates that they may in all cases be like
Caesars wife above SUSPICION

EASTERN VIEW OF DEMOCRACY.

The democratic politicians are nov!
taking the center Of the stage, says
the loyal and magnanimous eulosy of
his former chief, delivered by Mr.. Rich
ard Olney. at the Mcclellan banquet.
the democratic state committee of
Massa chusetts, on January 9. voted
unanimously to urge the democratic
national convention to nominate MI
CleVelandS eX-Secretary of state for
the presidency. A firm conviction was
expressed that under his leadership in
the coming campaign, important New
England states could be swung over
into the democratic column. We pre-
sumo that the states which the COM
mittee had in mind are Connecticut.
New Hampshire and Rhode Island. If
cept him, Mr.. Olney would probably
get the electoral votes Of New York:
indeed, it now looks as if that state
would support any conservative demo-
crat capable of uniting his party.
Whether Mr.. Olney could regain New
Jersey from the republicans is. as we
have often said very different ques-
ton. The republican leaders in New
Jersey believe their organization to be
we'll nigh unconQuera BILE. except by a
native of the state. Hitherto Mr..
Cleveland has been the only man of
in fear. but they are now beginning to
admit that McClellan's name also might
be one to conjure With,
1t has been hitherto taken for grant
ed that Mayor McClellan's youth put
his candidacy in 1904 out of the QueS-
ton. but. as matter of fact, he is not
much younger than President Roose-
velt and has had far more extensive
experience of public life than Mr..
governor of the empire commonwealth.
From the viewpoint of certain veteran
senators both Roosevelt and Mcclellan
are boys, but We have had boy sena-
tors and boy speakers. Henry Clay
was but % years old when he first en-
tered the United States senate and only
house of representatives. 1t would be
a profoundly interesting incident in
political history if Mayor Mcclellan
should be nominated and elected to an
office which his illustrious father.
though nominated failed to secure.

THE POOR NAN IN POLITICS.

President Hadley of Yale started a
wide debate when he recently advised
young men to keep out of politics uh-
til they had secured independent
means of support His protagonists
and antagonists are about equally di-
vided.
The former. thinking of the numer-
Gus men, they know who have been
ruined by politics. mentally, morally
and financially, assert that no advice
could be sager than that for young
men to become financially independent
before entering politics. They agree
that nothing could be more certain
than that the man who depends on
politics for a living will be confronted
with circumstances when he must
yield to improper considerations or
else retire from the game. Retire
men for the dependent man being
almost impossible a job lot of lofty
purposes and high ideals must go over
board at such Il time.
The antagonists of President Hadley
point OUT. however. that to follow his
advice is to reserve politics for the
wealthy, whether by inheritance or
requirement. only Il very small por-
ton of the electorate ever becomes
wealthy enough to be independent of
the salaries of offices, and then not
early in life.
Thus. political leadership would be
left for the most part to rich young
men. made SO by fortune, or, to older
men. rich either by Inheritance or ac-
cunuIation. There would be no place
for young men of ability and ambition
who. if they have it in them to make
fortunes. will not succeed for many
Years, and may be very worthy and
useful members of the community
without possessing the faculty of ac-
quisitiveness.
Neither would there be any place
for able men of this kind later in life
! It : notorious that men having the
parts of statesmen are often utterly
, l;lCking in the qualities that gain anc
/ hold fortunes.

: palitical leaders since the found
