MOVES AND ROOSEVELT

On the day that President Roose-
Nelt celebrated his forty-ninth birth
day the Hearst papers sent to various
prominent people of the country for a
few words giving their estimate Of
the President.
One of those responding was Cros-
by Moves, editor of the Washington
Star, and well known to many local
reople. He is quoted as follows;
Theodore Roosevelt is a unique
specimen, incapable of classifica-
ton. His activities range from
the colossal to the infinite; he
says he approves fearless and
truthful criticism, but he does not
relish these criticisms when they
are exercised at his expense"

UNIONS SCENT PLAN TO
REDUCE CITY WAGE SCALE

A movement has been quietly set
on foot to reduce the wages Of
common laborers employed on pub
lie improvements. 1t is proposed
to amend the city ordinance so as
to make the wage set by the city
$2.25 per day instead of $2,75, as
at present. Feelers have been sent
out to ascertain what sort of re-
ception the proposition will re
ceive.
The scheme will meet with the
united opposition Of organized la
Dor, judging from current express
sions Of opinion. Members OF the
federal unions state that they will
stand squarely for the present
wage and that 1t would be diff
cult matter to secure a hearing In
the local federal unions of any
proposition to. reduce the scale. I.
In defense of the reduction pro-
posed it Is stated that public i'm
proyements will be pushed and that
a large number Of men now idle
would be employed throughout the
winter in making many needed i'm
provements If lower wages prevail
which otherwise would be impos-
sible.
In opposition to this II is urged
that the primary object OF the re-
duction Is to give the city contrac-
tors a greater percentage of profit
on their unfinished contracts as
soon as they are able to secure
money to carry on the work
Said an officer of Federal union
No. 11,624 today:
I'VE have but very few members
now In the employ OF the city, and
will absolutely refuse to consider
favorably any proposition to reduce
wages. 1t is notorious that the
powers which have ruled the city
government for years past have
used labor as a tool to secure what
they wanted. These same men are
now behind the scheme to reduce

WITH
HIS KISSES

Automobile rides, wine, women
and kissing are some of the allega-
tons contained in an answer and
cross complaint filed in the supe-
rior court this morning by Mrs. E.
v. Lambert, wife of the council
man from the Third ward. A few
months ago Lambert brought suit
for divorce from his wife on the
grounds Of drunkenness and other
charges.
Her cross complaint denies all
the allegations and says that soon
after their marriage in May, 1906,
he ordered her to leave the house
and said he hoped he would never
set eyes upon her again. Then,
the cross complaint says, he sent
her to New York so as to get her
out of the way. While she was
there, 1t is stated, the husband pur-
chased an automobile and took va
rious women out in public, kissed
them, also in public, and, the wife
believes, held them out as his
wife on separate occasions.
A restraining order to prevent
the councilman selling a $4,000
plumbing business is asked, and
also receiver for the business. His
wife alleges he is worth $4,000
and owns a summer home on Spirit
lake, Idaho, and lots Of real estate.

HUGE Navy

BERLIN, Dec. A strong
navy to promote commercial devel-
opment and colonization is the
-kaiser's policy outlined in state
ment given out today. He says:
"Germany's future developments
imperatively require powerful
navy. Wider markets are con-
stantly necessary to us. A mighty
navy will add millions to the vol
ume of our trade, and development
of colonies. There are no European
countries we could conquer and add
to our possessions without danger
to ourselves.
& Denmark and Norway are poor
and undesirable. Switzerland is
the best buffer state we could wish.
All we could expect from England,
even in the event Of war in which
England lost, would be a small, UNI
desirable colony.

would fight England on such pre-
text would not deserve a place at

the final hearing on the increased
freight rate on lumber, which is
being vigorously contested by
western manufacturers.

The party will consist of r. A.

senting the Inland Empire Manu-

They will be reinforced by a big
delegation from the Sound coun-
try, which left Tacoma last night
in special car for the East. The
lumbermen go loaded with evil
dence and argument to show that
the proposed rate increase is un-
reasonable and unwarranted.

HOW AN INHERITANCE TAX WORKS

LONDON, Roosevelt's recon-
mendation to congress in his mes
sage of an inheritance tax. and his
intention to press forward legisla-
ton, calls attention to the fact that
Great Britain receives from $780,
0OO, 900 to 500. 100000 a year from
death duty which is imposed on all
estates above $500.
The estate tax is the most popu.
lar method of raising money the
British government has. 1t is so
finely graduated that the poor
scarcely feel it's operation, while
the rich pay most Of the money,
British millionaires are very bit.
ter against the assessment and
may, to escape the tax, make over
the larger part of their fortunes to
beneficiaries in their lifetime. To
prevent this as much as possible
all requests made within year OF
the death Of the testator must bf
taxed to the full amount.
Last year 10 estates alone paid
81 100000 to the government. The
estate of Alfred Belt, the South AT
rican millionaire, which amounted
to $15.000,000, paid $l.200,000. This
year the tax on rich inheritances
has been increased, so that II Belt
had lived a year longer the govern
ment would have received on his
death $1.650,000.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-12-04

Estates up to $4,000 pay tax OF
4 per cent, and then by gradual
increases the tax gets up to 10 per
cent on estates of 100000, with
an added supertax of l per cent
for every $250,000 above $4,000, 900.
The tax is payable either in one
sum Or In eight yearly or 16 half
yearly installments, plus 3 per
cent interest.
Beside the tax on a whole estate
there are additional death duties
imposed. II man dies leaving an
annual legacy above $125 tot any
one a tax OF per cent is imposed
on the value Of the annuity, while
a succession tax is also imposed
which further eats into rich es-
tates. A husband or wife or parents
or children are exempt from this
additional succession duty, but
brothers and sisters and their des-
cendants pay to the government
per cent on the value of the prop
erty, left them: uncles and aunts
and their descendants pay per
cent great uncles and their de-
scendants pay 6 per cent, and all
others pay 10 per cent.
ifIan Englishman died worth $5.-
100000, leaving his whole estate ia
charity, the government would re-
ceiyb 100000 in estate duty and
100000 more in succession duty.

BANKS BREAK RECORD
FOR CASH ON HAND

$3,500,000 due from New York and
Chicago banks and not now instant
ly available, which leaves total in
excess of 100000 actual cash on
hand in this city. This is gold
money and government notes, GER
tificates not being considered.
The cash on hand figures up a
little more than 1G per cent of the
total deposits. while the law re-
quires but 6 per cent, according to
the statement of local bankers.
That considerable Spokane mon
ey has gone into the socks is shown
by shrinkage of 100000 in total
deposits since Aug. %. Notwith-
standing this, the banks are able
to make what they consider their
best showing and are in readiness
to begin cash payments as soon as
other financial centers are willing
to adopt the same course and thus
insure proper protection for cash
reserves here.
