sion called for the express purpose

parts of the city and along with
this the board Of public works has
obtained the following figures from
the engineers office in estimate Of

INJUSTICE

Mr.. Harry G. Hawkins was very
much in earnest this morning when
he appeared before the board of
equalization to protest against an
assessment Of Sc on personal prop
erty. He declared the property
was worth no more than $50.
Mr.. Hawkins protesting on be.

Great Western railway company, Of
which he is the Spokane agent. Ac-
cording to the deputy assessor the
Chicago Great Westerns personal
property in Spokane consists Of q
typewriter, roll top desk, chair and
office carpet. Mr.. Hawkins believ.
ed that his company was being
mulched to the extent Of taxes on
SIS, and valIantly laid his plant be-
fore the arbiters Of taxes In the
formal way.
The desired reduction Of SIS in
valuation, If 1t reaches the stage
of fruition, may result In a saving
to the Chicag Great Western of as
much as 81 cents.
The momentous question has not
yet been passed upon by the ar
biters. 1t may be that II the mem.

HOW ABOUT THE
INSURANCE
C|NCH?

Spokane can learn something
from Walla Walla on the question
of fire insurance. When companies
notified the policy holders of that
city of the % per cent rakeoff re-
Gently put In effect the Walla Wal
la chamber of commerce promptly
took steps to organize a home
company to combat the arbitrary
increase intended. They contend
ed that rates were already high
enough, Ii proposition that will not
be denied by the persons paying
them.
The Spokane chamber of COM
merce appointed committee to
have a talk with Lee Mckenzie,
mouthpiece of the state insurance
combine, and there the matter has
apparently hung up. The talk pro-
posed with Mr.. Mckenzie, If it is
ever had, will prove just exactly
as effective as regards the 25 per
cent increase as talk with tele-
phone pole.
That fact was pointed out in The
Press at the time. AS was also Spo-
kane's opportunity to secure vol
ume Of the best sort of advertising
Obtainable by making a determined
stand against a manifest injustice.
In this particular Spokane actually
suffered more than any other city
In the northwest for the reason
that she has expended 100000 for
new waterworks. That expenditure
was made on a promise to the tax
payer, who foots the bill, that the
investment would result in de-
creased insurance. Before the new
system was completed a 20 per cent
rate increase was announced and
put into effect on the bare excuse
that the companies had lost more
than they cared to pay in San
Francisco.
Meanwhile the city Is left to fig
ure out how to pay the waterworks
bill and the business man finds
added to that higher rate on in
surance than he ever dreamed of
paying, instead of the reduction
promised.
1t Is straight bushes proposi-
ton that If the taxpayers are dis
appointed in any return on their
Insurance investmet from the COM
panies the latter should be left to
carry the risk.
That the rate was too high even
before the raise Is shown by the
record that in the period from 1900
to 1900 Washington paid $11,374,.
7S0 In premiums and received as
indemnity for losses but $500, s31.
And now 25 per cent has been add

Heredity-
Could we but realize how plastic Is the
mind OF child, how sensitive is its soul
of having it surrounded from its earliest
years by only the best influences. Many
of Its so-called inherent tendencies for evil
are contracted or borrowed ones from those
around 1t. The impotence or temper Of a
nurse or parent quickly Is reflected in the
child, and this at such early age that
the elders cannot realize that their own
mental state Is being given back to them.
The quality which leads child to enact
over again in it's plays the incidents of It's
daily life proclaims the fact that 1t is a
borrower and these daily scenes are fash
ioning the man or woman of the future.
1t is while the child Is in this plastic state
that all that is good should be brought to
bear upon 1t, and all that Is evil excluded.
Habits are stubborn things and when once
formed are hard to break.
How often we hear 1t said that family
traits are cropping out early in some child.
This really means that its environment has
already told upon its pure and sensitive
soul. 1t Is the constant dropping that
wears away the stone. and 1t is the oft-re-
peated example of the elders that fashions
the tendencies Of the child.
Most grown up people realize that they
must not before child tell things that
should not be repeated. Such things are
kept from the little pitchers for fear the
elders may some day be put In an embar-
RAISING position by the childish repetition.
But is the welfare of the child as carefully
guarded? If 1t were all expressions of an
ger and impotence would be suppressed in
its presence. Carping criticism and chronic
grumbling would never be heard by 1t.
Love, joy, peace should be the three graces
that hourly wait upon 1t during its earliest
years. Then there would be less evidence
Of original sin in the child.
A mother once complained to the family
physician that her little daughter must be
terribly out of health, for she had become
SO irritable that 1t was hard for any one to

sides medicines, in gentle a way as he
could replied that 1t was not all surpris-
