A GROWING BUSINESS.
Mr.. 0'Brienis Industrial Plant Continues to
Expand.

Ab0ANs
Articles of incorporation were filed
this week Of the p. ]. O'Brien Wagon
and Implement Co., composed of
Messrs. OBrien, B. T. Baker and
John, Shornak. The capital stock is
listed at $4,000, in shares, of 800
each. The object is to continue and
extend the business SO long and sue
cessfully prosecuted by Mr.. O'Brien,
and deal in all sorts Of farm machin-
cry, wagons, heavy hardware and
seeds, with general powers to extend
it to include various other business
utilities, factories, warehouses, docks,
etc. The new company will build a
fine store or warehouse building, just
north of its present stand for storing
stock and conducting various details
of the business.
All three of the incorporators
named bring to the business an ex-
perience that is the best assurance
of success. Mr.. O'Brien has already
built up reputation for fair dealing
and honest work. Mr.. ShOrnak has
been with him several years, and has
demonstrated his capability in the
woodwork that is so closely allied as
a coordinate branch of industry, and
Mr.. Baker is an expert in book
keeping, having served a term as
County Clerk and had charge of thu
books at the Mitchell hotel for sew
eral months.
All these adaptabilities unite in
promotion of good service, that will
keep pace with the progress of the
times and will, we feel quite sure, re
suit in rapid development of a per
manent industry.

THE MILLER HIGH SCHOOL.
1t Is Spacious and Beautiful Building and
Thoroughly Adapted to Present
and Growing Needs.

The Miller High School building
was formally opened to the public
last Saturday. Addresses were de-
livered by the Mayor Thomas Nc
Larty, the members of the school
board, the City Superintendent and
other citizens. In the afternoon a
mothers meeting planned by the
Women's Club was held, at which
the feasibility of adding the two
branches of Domestic Science and
Manual Training to the high school
course was thoroughly discussed. 1t
was declared to be step forward in
the progress of practical education
for active life.
Monday afternoon, the flag raising
exercises were held in the lecture
room of the new building, which was
thrOnged with a delighted audience,
composed largely of women and
children, which crowded it to its ut
most capacity.
After prayer, Mr.. SchOmber. on
behalf of the Directors, gave a brief
but interesting history of the project
which has given the service such a
potent aid for higher education. He
closed with regretting that the I'M
perative need for better quarters had
led to use of the building before the
grounds had been graded and beau
titled. but he believed that it was for
the best interests of the service to
do so.
A patriotic recitation by Gertrude
Knox followed and singing of the
Star Spangled Banner by Miss
Sullivan.
The principal address by{J. H.
Schively was in his usual happy style.
He began by complimenting the as
semblage for the beautiful picture it
presented from the stage, and this
was something more than the .fnesse
of the orator, for with the golden
sunshine streaming through the large
windows of the beautiful auditorium
and the wealth of youth and beauty
displayed in happy faces and holiday
attire, it was picture that impressed
itself wildly on the memory. A
well-worded response followed by
Supt. Kraeger. The flag raising,
singing of America" by the audi
ence and a benediction followed SER
vice that, with the other dedicatory
meetings, rounds out q elimination
that seems one of unalloyed satisfac-
ton and happiness.
Long may the William WinlOck
Miller High School exist to shorten
that road to knowledge that length
ems life and lead to exemplary citi-
zenShip.

TAx-DODGING, in still another form,
has developed since a law was enacted
regulating operation of the rich mans
fad, the automobile, mainly for af-
fording safeguards for pedestrians.
1t seems that aside from license
lodging in its simple form, there are
other methods of evading the reve-
nue. law. One made use of in Seattle,
is said to be that a company owning
a number of machines will use the
same number for several, and by this
means render it difficult to identify
the machine or driver when wanted
as we'll as to reduce the cost of IL
censes. The Secretary of State and
Attorney General will, it is-said, en-
deavor to secure a strict observance
of the law hereafter.

STILL another of those good old
traditions of the convivial times,
said to have been expressed by the
executives of the two Carolinas, that
has always served to point a moral
when any doubt as to extent of mu-
tual hospitality was in question, has,
it is said, gone glimmering down the
corridors of time. It is noted that
when the respective Governors of the
two States met at jamestown, the
other day, it was ascertained that
they were both Prohibitionists, and
the usual form that has added so
much to reputation of those States as
leaders in good fellowship had to be
omitted. When we take into con-
sideration the social amenities that
surrounded the memorable meeting,
we cannot repress q sigh that a Gus
tom which has gained such universal
recognition as an instance of COM
munion of spirit should be relegated
to oblivion.

GOOD" Books FAIL OF THEIR Oh
JECT.-And now it is the Sunday
school literature that has come under
the ban, not of Chicago professors,
who seem to have had the run of
iconoclasm, but of Milwaukee girl,
engaged in teaching, Miss Lutte E.
Stevens, in a paper submitted to
the Social Economic Club of that
city on, The Problem of the Girl
and Her Reading" She holds that
the Sunday school libraries are ac-
countable for more depravity of the
young people than almost any other
source. She declared that the stories
of the exemplary lives and early
deaths of the boys and girls in the
Sunday school book, furnished no in
centive to the young growing boy or
girl to emulate the hero or heroine,
=" For" asked Miss Lutte, what in
centive has lad to be good when he
reads that the ultimate result of the
aforesaid goodness is sure and certain
premature burial?" Miss Stearns
advocated emphatically the reading
of fairy tales for children, saying:
among other things: The rankest
materialism in its worst form never
has struck harder blows at true
spiritual life than the gross ignorance
of misguided parents who keep their
children from fairy life and fairy
land"

Nav Not Be Held Void.

The last Legislature of Washing
ton enacted IA law purporting to
amend the revenue law of 1897, as
changed bv the amendment of June
T. 1901. The title of this law rs
found in Chapter IS. printed laws
1907. is a> follows:
An act amcndln. an act entitled, An
act Ia amend section ;. OF chapter
LNNNIIl or the laws of 1891 relating
10 revenue and taxation" PASSED the
Senate and the House June II, 1901.
Notwithstanding the veto OF the Cover
nor, and declaring an emergency.
1t was evidently the intention to
amend section 3, of chapter II, page
136. laws 1897. The subject of this
chapter II is mentioned as: Re
lating to Revenue and Taxation, "
and corresponds with the title in this
respect of the act of 1907, while the
designation of chapter So, laws 1897,
relates to Il different subject matter
altogether. There is only one enact
ment contained in the volume of ses-
sion laws of 1891 embracing the sub
iect of Revenue and Taxation viz:
Chapter II above referred to. The
State Constitution provides that
every act of the Legislature shall
contain but one subject, which shall
be named in the title thereof. The
subject-matter of the 1907 enact
ment is Revenue and Taxation"
AS matter of reference, section 3,
chapter S3, is named as the section
amended. Now turning to the print
ed laws of 1897, chapter 80, page 22l,
it is found this chapter contains no
section 3, as indicated in the title of
the act appearing by chapter 4S,
laws 1897, but this section is germane
to section 3 of the Revenue Law of
1897, which designates the kind of
property which shall be assessed and
taxed; exempts mortgages, notes,
accounts, moneys, certificates of de-
post, tax certificates, judgments,
State, county, municipal and school
district bonds and warrants.
The object of the above constitu-
tional provision was to prevent in
considerable, misleading or fraudulent
legislation in the matter of jumbling
different or incOngruous subjects
together. 1t cannot be seriously
claimed that the subject of an act
otherwise unObjectionable failing by
mere clerical error to name the prop
err chapter to be amended, should be
held void by the courts, especially
when the opposite construction would
lead to an evident absurdity. Again
the naming of the chapter and Sec
ton are only incidental matters,
when we consider that the subject
Revenue and Taxation" are ex-
plicit terms and may be easily and
readily applied, in order to carry out
the intention of the Legislature. 1t
is also significant that the act of
June IL, 1901, which is referred to by
the above chapter 4S. laws 1897,
amends chapter II and not chapter
SO of the laws of 1897.
If our premises are correct, the
STANDARD fails to see how the courts
will be justified in holding this 1907
enactment void. The expediency of
the law might be questioned, but
that is a matter of legislation and
not one for judicial Interpretation.

WHY the Time Was Limited.

The item in last week issue OF the
STANDARD concerning the Statute OF
Limitations for the bringing OF ac-
tions to recover land sold for delin-
uuent taxes has excited considerable
interest and discussion among the
legal fraternity and other interested
parties living in Thurston county.
The prOviSo contained in the act of
1907. chap. 113 of the printed laws,
limiting the time 10 one year in
which to institute such suits regard
ing tax sales made prior to the pass
are of this act. seems to have de-
pressing effect as to the market value
of quit claim deeds from the original
owners The purchasers, under tax
sale. as well as their grantees, will
doubtless be- induced to act on the
defensive. let the former owners in
itiate the proceedings in the courts:
in which event the plaintiffs will be
required to make tender in the
first instance of all back taxes with
u per cent. interest thereon, and in
addition they will have the burden of
showing the tax sales which they
assail to have been invalid. Without
question there has been much loose
ness about these sales, but they have
pretty generally been sustained by
the courts. Public opinion may,
however, change to the other side
one of these days. Did the promot-
ers of this new limitation law smell
a mouse" and have this one year
prOvisO inserted in order to make
the bar complete before the session
of a subsequent Legislature could
make any change? 1t would seem

consistent Democrat.

IT does seem the height of absurd
ity for President Roosevelt to send a
prominent army officer across the
continent to bow and scrape, and by
smirk and smile, at the reception of
Gen. Kuroki in Seattle, induce q be-
lief that the Japs have us on the run
in a contest for national supremacy.
But then, you know, the Administra-
ton has by message to Congress pro-
posed Jap equality for our citizens.
He is at least consistent.
