The extraordInary popularity Of tine

The extraordinary popularity OF fne
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals. is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

To Leave Funds In The County

OLYMPIA, Jan. "a. - In order for
the public to receive more interest
under the depository law, the house
committee on revenue and taxation is
having bill drawn up by which the
current school fund due from the
counties would remain in charge of the
county treasurers, instead of being
paid over to the state treasurer, and
then by him paid back to the counties.
In round numbers the current school
fund distributed in one year is $1,000,
600. Not all of this comes from the
counties, but most of it does. The
state has levy on all the property to
raise money for the current school fund.
The tax is collected, under the present
system, and paid over to the state
treasurer every month. AT the end of
every quarter the state superintendent
of schools distributes the current school
fund in accordance with school attend
ance, and the money goes back to the
counties.
A county does not as rule, receive
back just what it paid in. For instance,
country with great wealth and few
school children in proportion to popula-
ton would pay in more than it would
receive back.
What the house committee on revenue
and taxation desires is a law that would
not require current school fund money
to be brought to the capital and then
carried back to the counties. Some Of
it would have to be carried, the amount
being the difference between what is
paid in and is drawn out by each county.
The committee figures that if this
money were allowed to stay in the
counties. more interest would be paid
on public deposits than under the pres
ent plan when the money is changed
from county seat to state capital and
vice versa SO often.
C. W. Clausen, state auditor, has
been thinking about the matter great
deal lately. He is in some doubt whether
the constitutional provision against
Communication of taxes would permit the
striking Of balance such as might be
required If the counties did not actually
bring the money to the capital. Tax
Commissioner Frost is also in some
doubt about it.
Mr.. Clausen thinks it desirable to
change the present system. He says
the big deposits Of current school funds
in possession Of the state are not of
much value to the state depository be-
cause of the short time the funds are
available.
The quaterly apportionment of school
funds by the state school superintendent
in the year 1906 were as follows:

the law had been violated. Some
weeks ago Verdenius caused the arrest
of one Daniel Tremper who was charged
with having passed a fraudulent check
for fifty dollars. Tremper is still out on
bail awaiting trial and in a spirit of
revenge had Verdenius arrested for
violating the law on election day.
