the lot gave Aberdeen the affirmative,
the same side that they had in the first
debate.

BASKET BALL.
HOquiam VS.. Aberdeen Tonight, and
Rivalry Promises Swift Ball.

The most important basket ball game
OF the season to the local school will oc.
cur tonight, at the High &C hool gymna.
sium, when the lads and lassies from Ho-
quiam come over to meet the boys and
girls teams of Aberdeen. The local
students and many of the citizens are
very much interested in basket ball, and
are giving the local teams loyal support.
Aberdeen played Hoquiam in Hoquiam
about two weeks ago, at which time the
Aberdeen boys Won by score of 20 to 10,
and the IIoquiam girls Won by score of
IA to 8. The Hoquiam girls played
very rough game, but it is understood
that their coaching since that time has
been with view to eliminate such
roughness. At any rate. in the game
here tonight no such roughness will be
tolerated, as the judges will be instructed
to penalize all such kind of playing.
The Aberdeen boys have been making
a record for themselves this season, and
the team is very promising one. Be-
sides defeating the Hoouiam High school,
they have defeated the Grays Harbor
Business College and the Nonpareil team
OF the Hoquiam Y. NJ. @. A. The Ho.
quiam High school has been playing
much better ball since their defeat by
Aberdeen, and are coming this evening
with very strong determination to de-
feat the Aberdeen boys on their own
floor. Both games will be decidedly in.
teresting. The girls game will be called
at s:15 sharp. The boys game will be
played after the girls.

OLYMPIA, Jan. .22.--Although they have
on the whole most important work
ahead OF them, no committees OF the
legislature have their path so well pre-
pared as those Of revenue and taxation,
Yet in spite Of all the tax commission
has done to simplify the task of the law
makers in the direction of solving the
financial problems OF the state, it is diff.
cult to find member of either house
who has attempted to digest the biennial
report OF the board.
1t was striking feature OF the pre-
liminaries to organization in both houses
that pretty nearly every senator and rep.
resentative was anxious, or at least
willing, to serve on the committees that
appropriate the revenues OF the state,
while the COMMITTEES that have to do
with gathering these very same revenues
seemed OF no concern whatever.
In this age of tax reform and progress
it is singular that the Washington legis-
lature should evince such apathy. At
least one member has been discovered
with positive plan with regard to one
branch of the subject. This is Judge M.
M. Goldman. of Columbia county, who is
veteran survivor of the constitutional
convention and democrat of the old
type.
III admit" said the Judge today, that
l am a crank on the subject of assess.
ment. l don't want to introduce any
legislation that stands no chance of
passing. 1 don't believe in wasting the
time of the legislature. But have
about decided to draft and introduce q
bill providing for complete revision of
the methods Of assessment. That is
where our revenue and taxation system
is weak, dishonest and demoralizing."

GUS changes?" was asked.

A little horse.play arose in the senate
today, when Link Davis introduced a
resolution asking the legislative ball com.
mittee to confine itself at the dance to-
night exclusively and rigidly to pro-
gram of Virginia reels and plain quad

late years mysterious swinging and
marching dances known as hop-steps and
two-steps" have caused much embar-
rassment to old-timers, and the request
is made that call such nonsense" be cut

cation, later to judiciary, and finally
Ruth moved that the resolution be
