Want Higher TAXESAFTER ELECTION Pr
Elma Asks for Increase
in Valuations. Tim
ber Lands Will be
Marked Up.

MoNTEsANO, Ang. S.-The commissions
Chehalis county met Monday at the
court house as a board of equalization,
the new law requiring the additional
county officers to be present during the
session.
From the business-like manner in
which the board has taken up the asses
sor's returns it is evident that there will
be but few, if any, reductions in assessed
values, while in the matter of timber
lands the board has decided that this
particular description of properly shall
pay taxes upon something like its mar
ketable value and the order has been
issued to increase the assessments from
20 to 80 per cent. on all timber lands in
I the county except where the actual tim
ber values are known to members OF the
board and upon lands that are expected
to he logged off within the next few
years. and upon these the assessment
will be raised from 80 to 1UO per cent
80 that the county will have the benefit
| of the revenue which rightfully belongs
to it before these lands become practi.
cally valueless.
| Hundreds OF notices are being sent out
to timber owners by the board, for them
to appear and show cause why this in.
tended raise should not be made.
E. L. Minard and j. j. Emley, repre-
senting the corporation of Elma, appeared
before the board Wednesday and peti.
| toned that the assessment levied against
that town be raised at least 40 per cent.
the reason given being that the revenue
now collected from taxes was not suili-
cient to meet municipal expenditures
especially in view OF the fact that i'm
provements, such as waterworks and
other necessary betterments, were being
| planned. The board viii order the ad-
vance to be made.

ANTITRUST REPUBLICANS Are
STILL DELUDED BY LEADERS
The Republican Party is Dominated
by Trusts and MOnOpOIiStS. Demo.
cratic Members of Congress- De.
mand an Antitrust Law That
Will Aid the Public Generally.

VIII any antitrust republican be de-
luded by the administrator assurance,
given through Senator Hopkins, OF
Illinois, that the tariff will be revised
latter the presidential election ?'
Will any one be deuded by the caiin
that the republican party may be de.
pended upon to give the people relief on
the trust question or on the tariff ques-
tion, or on other questions in which it is
to the interest OF those who provide the
republican party with campaign funds to
maintain present conditions?
Republican leaders can not claim that
the failure to provide relief was due to
oversight. Democratic members of the
house OF representatives met in caucus
on June p, 1902, and adopted resolutions
in which it was charged that the republi.
can majority in congress sis dominated
and controlled by the trusts and monop.
oles which have the great industries of
our country in their grasp" These
resolutions charged that the republican
party refused and failed "to bring in any
measure to suppress the trusts or to
tavorably report any of the numerous
antitrust bills introduced by democratic
members during this session." Then
the democratic members resolved:
"We favor the immediate passage of a
measure to amend the present antitrust
law, so as more fully to protect trade and
commerce against unlawful restraints
and monopolies, and also measure to
reduce the duties on all articles and
commodities manufactured and con-
trolled or produced in the United States
by trust or trusts. so as to destroy such
Illegal combinations, and to reduce the
rate OF duty on any article or commodity
manufactured in the United States and
sold in foreign country more cheapy
than in The United States.
I'VE oppose the adjournment of con-
gress until the measures mentioned above
have been enacted into law"
+ The republican congress adjourned.
The antitrust law was not amended.
Nothing wa3 done to more fully protect
trade and commerce against unlawfu
restraints and monopolies nothing was
done to reduce the duties on articles and
com mmodities manufactured and con.
trolled or produced in the United States
by trust or trusts, so as to destroy such
illegal combinations; nothing was done
to reduce the rate OF duty on any article
or commodity manufactured in the
United States and sold in foreign coun.
try more cheaply than in the United
States.
The republican congress clearly showed
that the arraignment made by the demo-
cratic caucus was justified. In the refusal
of this congress to provide the people
with any of the relief demanded, the re-
publican congress provided proof, if, in
deed, proof was necessary, that the
republican party "is dominated and con-
trolled by the trusts and monopolies
which have the great industries of our
country in their grasp

MAKING A COAT.
II Takes Thirty-Nine Men Of Different
Trades to Manufacture One.

Trades to Manufacture One.
According to the United States bu-
reau of labor, the old saw, 1T takes
nine tailors to make man." is filled
with misinformation, for in reality, the
bureau finds, II takes thirty-nine men
of different trades just to make coat
under the present system Of shop
manufacture. For the day when one
tailor measured the customer, cut out
the cloth and, with his apprentices,
shaped 1t into finished and pressed
garment has practically passed. To-
day all one tailor may do through his
entire life is to mark the place where
buttons are to be sewed on. Another
man never marks places for buttons;
his speciality is to mark buttonboies. A
third man spends the long days In
sewing on buttons; a fourth In making
buttonholes. Men who sew sleeves do
not make armholes; the armhole men
give place to shoulder shapers, and
these last do not touch collars, which
are a distinct speciality. Even the men
who manipulate the tallors goose arc
divided into pressers Of seams, edges,
Innings, sleeves and coat pressers. The
basters stick to one distinct specially
of basting, and a separate functionary,
the basting puller, undoes their work.
Even the coat strap Is separate pro-
vince. So that when the coat Is fin
ished it represents thirty-nine distinct
varieties Of work by as many men.
And when a man finally puts on the
coat he is wearing the product Of s12
fingers and seventy-eight thumbs, not
counting the digits Of those who shear
ed the sheep, wove the cloth, dyed 1t,
finished it, shipped 1t and cut 1t, nor
the ink-stained clerical hands which
kept a book record Of all the processes.
Probably from sheep to wearer the
coat was handled by at least 5000 fin
gers.

The Wilson G.. Hunt was very un-
fortunate, as has been said. She was
laid up at Montevideo for nearly
three months for crew, and at other
ports for repairs to the vessel, and the
time from port to port was 322 days.
The Goliah was 279 days between
New York and San Francisco. The
Gen. Warren and the Commodore
Preble were each about nine months
on the way, being detained at some
ports on the Pacific side for repairs

they were secreted and completed for
service in the waters Of California.
By this time there had been three
steamship lines established having
vessels more adapted for the service
and having lines on the Atlantic side
that connected across the isthmus
with lines on the Pacific side running
to California, and these were now
able to accommodate the passenger
travel and handle the freight offered
for the Pacific. Besides, the large
clipper ships of that period began
now to enter the trade, and they soon
showed their worth in quick deliv-
cry at their destination.
The transportation business be-
tween the two oceans by water now
began to settle down to normal con-
dition after so much hustle and haste
to get on the scene Of business activ-
ity. Since then not few compara-
lively small steam vessels have been
sent from the Atlantic to the Pacific

to prepare them properly for the voy-

That is the flag of Greece.
Other standards in the Western
Hemisphere not containing the color

retary of the navy, the admiral of the
navy, the rear admiral senior in rank
the rear admiral junior in rank, the
commodore's broad pennant, junior ir

broad pennant, second in rank; the
pennant of the rear admiral second ir

The war color is also in the United
States mail flag, the pennant for ves-

yacht ensign, the enSi2n Of the revenue

that of the secretary Of war.
The flags which are entirely of red
except the devices in some, are those OF

Japan. That of Turkey is nearly al

The flags of forty-two other coun-
tries also contain most conspicuously
the color which is supposed to repre-

the double cross, on twelve; the an
