When every man pays his fair share
of taxation the burden of each will not
be hard to bear.
While the tax commission is at work
it should consider the taxation of in
tangible property such as franchises
The United States supreme court re
Gently upheld the law of New York
taxing franchises, thus adding $780,
900, 900 to the state treasury in back
taxes. This law was passed on the
recommendation of Theodore ROose-
velt then governor, in spite of the
opposition Of Boss Plat, who is pres
ident of the United States express
company and is heavily interested in
other corporations affected by the law,
To punish Roosevelt for this and other
offenses Platt buried him in the vice
presidency, but, like Banquo's ghost,
Roosevelt would not stay down and
stepped into the presidency to the dis
comfiture of Plat, the unwilling
Warwick.
Under the revenue laws of this state
franchises may be taxed and the COM
mission could not perform better SER
vice than to have all such property
listed and assessed at a fair valuation.

PLAN STARTED TO HAVE TEAM
At WALLA WALLA AND
PENDLETON.
Take Place Of Ogden in Pacific Ma
tionaI Leaaue-Salt Lake and
Ogden Out.

If proper encouragement is given in
financial way Walla Walla, Pendle-
ton, La Grande and Baker City, may
break into the Pacific National league
by July 1 and the fans Of these cities
may have an opportunity of witnessing
some good, fast bail during the re-
mainder of the season. Both Ogden
and Salt Lake have withdrawn from
the Pacific National, leaving Spokane
and Boise the only two teams in the
league.
Last night President Williams of the
Spokane team. Manager O'Connor of
the Walla Walla team and number
of baseball enthusiasts held a confer
ence at the Hotel Dacres and talked
over the proposition Of Walla Walla
and Pendleton forming a stock COM
pany and taking over the Ogden team
to represent it in the league. A SINH
lar proposition is to be made to Baker
City and La Grande, the plan being to
transfer the players of the Salt Lake
team to those two places.
Notwithstanding the fact that league
ball mas not proven successful in eth
err Walla Walla or PendletOn, some of
the enthusiastic fans have Ventured
the opinion that under the combination
plan the game might De made to pay,
or at least to meet the expenses of
team.
Manager O'Connor this morning
stated that he would be willing to dis
band his team and let some one else
take hold of the plan proposed by
President Williams Of Spokane and get
a professional team for Walla Walla
and Pendleton.
President Williams is in Pendleton
today and will take up the proposition
with the baseball people of that city.
If this plan does not work out it is
very probable that Spokane and Boise
will finish the season by playing one
week in each of the cities.
Tacoma Wants to Go to Spokane.
The breaking up of the league has
brought to light many curious things
in the affairs of baseball. \ report
comes from Tacoma that the owners
of the franchise in that city are dis
satisfied with the support that they are
receiving from the Tacoma people and
it is proposed to transfer the Tacoma
team to Spokane and take Spokane
into the Pacific coast league. Another
| important item has come to light since
the Pacific National trouble has start
| ed. 1t appears that the Northwest
| league is willing to transfer the Vic
| toria team to Spokane and finish the
season with Bellingham, Vancouver
! and Everett

WILL BE SPIRITED CONTEST FOR
ELECTION OF FIRST WARD
COUNCILMAN
GIasford and Mclean Are Making a
Strong Fight for the Honor
Active Work Begun

The fight for the election of a cOun-
Gilman from the First Ward has COM
menced in earnest and the friends of
William Glasford, the present incum-
bent, and John F. Mclean, VINO de-
sires to succeed Glasford, are actively
at work rounding up the voters. Every
effort will be made to have every reg
istered voter get to the polls and cast
his ballot denoting his choice for coun-
Gilman. Both candidates will leave
no stone unturned to win out, and
from present indications it will be one
of the hardest fought political battles
ever pulled off in Walla Walla.
Up to the present time there has
been no official announcement of a
candidate to succeed Councilman
Smith. Some few weeks ago Council
man Smith announced that he would
not be a candidate for reelection.
This statement was made, however,
at a time when the councilman was
disappointed over the failure of the
council to pass an ordinance that he
was deeply interested in. Some of the
voters of the Second Ward are ventur-
ing the opinion that Councilman Smith
will again be a candidate and will an
nOunce his intention of coming up for
| re- reelection in few days.
There is not any likelihood of there
| being any opposition to Councilman
William H. Kirkman from the Third
Ward. He was chosen by the cOun
| Gil to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Councilman Eugene H.
| Boyer who mas changed mis- residence
| from Walla Walla to Two Rivers. Mr.
Kirkman is DESTROYS of serving full
| term in the council and will be a can
| didate.
| The voters in the Fourth Ward will
not be given an opportunity of voting
| for councilman at the coming election,
as under the city charter that ward
| is only entitled one councilman who
| holds office for two years. Council
man Martin was elected last July, and
will consequently hold over until July
| 1905.
! 1t is not believed at this time that
/ there will be any opposition to the
other city officials who will be candi
dates for election and barring the con-
| test in the First Ward, the election
promises to be an exceptionally quiet
| one.

WORK FOR STATE TAX COMMITS
SION.

The state tax commission has decid-
ed that wheat in warehouses must be
assessed either to the actual owners
or TO the warehouse company if it's
agent will not divulge the true owner
ship. In passing up a case from Doug
las county, the commission says in
part:
Taxation is not to be treated as a
game of hide and seek. The ware
house company had possession of this
wheat, which is prima face evidence
of ownership. This species of product
carries with it no marks of identifica-
ton aside from evidence of possession.
The sale of personal property pre-
supposes a delivery of the thing sold,
or memoranda in writing. which US
ually takes the form of bill of sale
Neither of these usual courses has
been observed. The warehouse COM
pany could have easily relieved itself
of responsibility-if the facts would
warrant it-by giving you the name of
the alleged purchaser. We do not be-
ileVe that taxation should be defeated
and our laws set at naught by the
naked statement of warehousemen Or
others OF non-ownership of property
in their possession, carrying all of the
badges of full ownership
This is the same view of the law
That was taken by Walter Cadman
when he was assessor and it is un-
doubtedly correct. Mr.. Cadman also
commended that bank deposits should be
assessed in the same way and there
was good logic in his argument. The
game of hide and seek to escape tax
alton should not be played through
banks any more than through ware
houses. Tnere should be some way of
ascertalning the names of all deposit
ors in the banks of this state and the
amount credited to each Individual.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
SHOULD GIVE THE RAILROAD I
SQUARE DEAL.

1t is said that the chief obstacle in
the way of the Palouse irrigation pro-
ject is the O. r. & n. railroad track
running through Washington cOulee,
which the government wishes to con-
vert into a reservoir. Some Jealous
advocates of the Palouse scheme are
very bitter in their denunciations of
the railroad company for not agreeing
to remove its track to the hillside on
the opposite side of the coulee for what
they regard as a fair compensation
100000. 1t is said by men who ought
to know that the actual loss to the
o. r. & n. company by the removal of
it's track would not be less than $780,,
600. The track was built at the earn
est solicitation of land owners and
hOmeSteaders VINO desired quick and
convenient transportation for their
grain. The removal of the road to the
other side of the cOulee will mean that
when the reservoir is built most of
the farmers will be under the neces-
sity of ferrying their wheat across to
the railroad and then hauling it up
hill to the warehouse or the cars. To
build the new track the railroad will
have to do much grading and blasting
in the rocky hillsides. While the change
is being made much grain will be
hauled by wagon to Council and ship
ped over a rival road.
In view of these facts any fair man
must admit that the railroad company
is justified in demanding full cOmpen-
sation for its losses in the removal of
its track. No private individual would
sacrifice property worth a quarter of
a million or more merely to nelp out
some scheme of land owners and spec
ulators, and there is no reason why a
railroad company, a sOulless corpora
ton, should be expected to be more
philanthropic than an individual.
The Statesman believes in a square
deal all around. While it has had
much to say of excessive freight rates,
rebates and other abuses practiced by
railroads, it mas never believed in the
confiscation of their property or that
they should ever be treated in a man.
ner contrary to the commonly accept
ed rules of equity. Uncle Sam is rich
enough to pay the railroad company in
full for the damages the company will
suffer by the removal of it's track and
there should be no cheeseparing policy
in effecting settlement

The we'll known Restaurant Francois
22O West Main street which has been
closed for a few days to permit of al
terations to it's system, is now opened
again and is in splendid shape to cater
to the requirements of the public.
The restaurant from now on is to
be operated under new schedule OF
prices. which is bound to make it one
of the most popular restaurants IN the
city.
A first-class lunch will be served
from II a. m. to p. M; dinner 4:oo
to $3.50. This service will include
practically a complete meal for 20
cents. OF course, on top OF TINS one
can order as fancy a meal as ne may
care to pay for. But from now on II
is the intention of the management OF
the Restaurant Francois to specially
cater to the short order trade at popu-
lar prices. One big feature of the new
system is that short orders will be
served all day.
No one should hesitate to take lunch
at the Restaurant Francois. Ihe res
taurant's furnishings and appoint
ments are easily the most attractive
in the city, while the service MAINTAIN
ed is strictly of the metropolitan order.
A dish. no matter what kind, ordered
at the Restaurant Francois can always
be depended upon to be just rlgnt.
Good cooking is the one thing INSISTED
upon by the management. Another
thing responsible for the restaurants
success is that the kitchen is only sup
piled with the best quality of food
stuffs; everything used must be up TO
standard.
With their new schedule of popular
prices the Restaurant Francois ought,
to be the most popular place to eat
in the city and it's regular patronage
greatly increased.
