ED. STANDARD:
would like to have some one arise
and explain why it is that the taxes
of Thurston county are figured at the
excessive rate OF "a per cent. when
the rate of taxation in Los Angeles

tax OF the city OF Los Angeles with it's
millions OF Improvements is only %
per cent? If you include the city tax
Of Olympia the rate there is 3.5 per
cent. There must be niger in the

q glorious scheme on the part of some
one to dig him out. Our Tax Com
mission is rather an expensive luxury
without any corresponding benefits.
see by the STANDARD that our
Legislators are making a strong move
for retrenchment, which is something
new and startling for a Republican
Legislature. I never was more sur.
prised in my life. In fact had to
read the item twice before I'd believe

A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE In.
SANITY PLEA OF CRIME Several bills
have been introduced in the present
Legislature providing what shall be
done with accused persons who shall
have been found insane when they
committed the Offense charged. Doubt.
less the surest course to pursue is TO
have this issue first disposed of by the
finding of . jury. If the culprit is
found to be insane, then let him be
incarcerated in sn asylum; if other.
wise, let tho trial proceed on its
merits. II the Legislature goes to
mixing the matter, and provide for an
Insanity Com mission to determine the
question, some constitutional lawyer
will come forward and contend, under
the Fourteenth amendment, the Gull
prit cannot be deprived Of his liberty
without the verdict OF his peers, and
therefore the finding OF the Commits

There is a three-cornered contro
versy going on in Olympia over the
office of Justice of the Peace, between
Milton Giles, J. G. Crouch and Robert
Frost. At the last general election,
the official notice designated that
two Justices were to be elected for
Olympia precinct, and nominations by
the .espective political parties we're
made accordingly. When the votes
were canvassed, it was found j. &.
Crouch and Milton Giles had received
the highest number of votes cast for
that Office. Certificates OF election
were issued to these parties, who took
the oath of Office and filed their bonds
Now Mr.. Crouch claims, as he re-.
ceived the largest vote, that he is the
only J. P. who could have been legally
elected. Olympia being a city of over
5000 inhabitants, which Office has a
salary attachment Of 500 per month
and entities him to the police court
records and to do business as the only
Justice in this city. Mr.. Frost claims
the election was void, and he lie en-.
titled to hold over till successor has
been legally elected and qualified.
There has been a suit instituted in the
Superior Court to restrain Mr.. Frost
from acting as magistrate. Mr..
Giles lawyers have advised him that
his election is straight, as it had never
been determined as prerequisite by
either the County Commissioners or
City Council of Olympia the city con-
tanned a population of five thousand
or more people. and did not make any
call for an election based upon such
assumption.

OF course, she escaped with slight
injuries, but the man was wroth, and
sued the city for damages. The dis.
trict court said the city was not liable.
but the Supreme Court reversed the
decision and sent the cause back fol
trial. II such an affair had happened
in Olympia, it is safe to say the aver
age man would have suffered greatly
before instituting suit. His gallantry
would have led him TO desist, or more
over, his curiosity have prompted hin

FIRE ESCAPE LAWS STIFFER
Eli introduced in Legislature to
Strengthen the statutes to
Prevent Disasters.

At the suggestion of Building Inspector
withheld, Deputy Labor Commissioner
Bush is having introduced at Lincoln a
bill to amend the laws on fire escapes, 80
as to give building inspectors and the
labor commissioner more authority. The
purpose Is to make binding n notice served
on an agent to erect a fire escape ON a
building. There are numerous buildings
in Omaha, Mr.. Withheld says, the owners
OF which are nonresidents and on which
buildings fire escapes have not been placed.
The present law does not provide for
notices served on resident agents. The new
bill contemplates giving the labor commits
sioner and building inspectors authority to
order any building closed in cases where
notices have been served and fire escapes
have not been placed as required.

Vice President and General Manager Mob
Ter OF the Union Pacific, in speaking on
the subject, said:
1T should be remembered that, beginning
December, 1905, the Union Pacific inaugu-
rated a fast daily exclusive mail train con-
Meeting at the Missouri river with fast
mail from Chicago, New York and other
eastern cities, which overlook and con-
nected at Green River with mail trains for

elusive daily fast mail train run
from Ogden to Oakland, delivering
malls In California and other states mem
toned, practically twenty-four hours
earlier than formerly, entailing an addi-
tional cost to the associated lines Of N.OOt

taken the construction of six complete all
steel hreproof exclusive mail trains fol
this service, costing, approximately, $780,

the efficiency better protect the mail and
insure to a greater degree the safety OF
mail department employees. The bene-
ut OF this new service can bettel
be realized when 1t is known
that a reply to a communication mailed
In New York can be returned by mail from
the Pacific coast and delivered in New
York three days earlier than formerly. II
must, therefore, be apparent that with such
an important reduction in mail pay, a cor
responding reduction in the service must
necessarily follow to the loss and deteriment

should be made most apparent to citizens
who are at present receiving the benefit
