Have Tooth Drawn for the
First Time In Her
Life

weakened the heart Of Mrs. Anna Rel

had never been i'll in her life. About a
week ago one Of her teeth became
liberated, and, though suffering much
pain, she refused to have 1t extracted.
But yesterday she could stand 1t no
longer and decided to have the tooth
drawn. Accompanied by her husband,
she started for q dentists at Sixteenth

preaching ordeal so preyed upon her
mind that she collapsed almost as his
office was reached.

MAIN TRUNK
WAGON ROAD
$4,000 WILL BE EXPENDED NEXT
SPRING BY STATE AND COUN-
TY FOR ROAD UP WENATCHEE
RIVER, COMMENCING AT HO-
RAMS.

County Engineer Navarro returned
home last night from the meetings
of the Good Roads convention and
the State Engineers association,
held last week at Kennewick. Mr..
Navarro is one of the enthusiasts on
good roads and was one of the strong
supporters of the resolution recon-
mending the legislative aid for rock
crushers and for system of trunk
lines for the state, running east and
west and also a north and south
road.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Ma
varre this county has availed itself
of the state aid given counties in
permanent road building. Few
counties of the size of Chelan have
done as much permanent work as
has this. By state aid is meant that
for every dollar the state gives the
county must put up like amount.
During the past several years a con-
siderable amount has been expend-
ed in this county in that manner
The state assisted to the amount of
$1,000 in the road above the Sher-
man bridge Some small amount was
also appropriated for work on the
road between here and Chelan and
last week the county commissioners
in resolution agreed to accept the
$500 aid in the building of road
up the river. This means that $4,000
will be expended in all at this time,
and work will be started in the
spring on a road up the river, COM
mencing at the north end of the We
natchee river bridge at the Koran
place. Instead of running the road
up and over the hill as at present
the road will follow the river. The
county engineer is now making plans
specifications and profiles of the sys-
TEN, and contracts will be let in
March for the work. This will be
part of the general plan as out
lined by County Engineer Navarro
for main east and west trunk line
which will traverse the county. In
case the state road should pass
through the county as is hoped the
road to be built by the county will
be a part of the system. The new
road is to be thirty feet wide and
it is thought that with the $4,000
available that the road can be built
to the Hall road. The general trend
of the proposed trunk line between

ENCOURAGE GROWING OF
THINGS BY TAX EXEMPTION

There are 20 states in which there
are exemptions of crops, trees or live
stock.
Four states exempt growing crops
only. Four states exempt all produce
in hands of producer-Tennessee ex-
tends this to his immediate vendee."
Three states exempt all produce for a
year, and three states all farm pro-
duce. Thus there are in all IA states
which exempt crops from taxation.
Two of these and two other states ,ex-
empt fruit trees, making a total of 16
states that encourage the growing of
things by tax exemptions
Five states exempt all farm utensils
and five states exempt farm utensils
to a limited amount of from $25 to
$400.
Ten states exempt young live stock
and two states exempt all poultry, and
two states limited amount One
state eXempts eggs and one state ex-
empts 10 stands of bees.
In the face of such diversity Of prac-
tice it seems to me to be self-evident
that a diffusion of tax knowledge suffi-
cient to insure a uniformity of treat
ment in the taxation of farm products
by the various states would be more
than sufficient to insure the total
abolition of such taxation.-N. ].

TAXATION AND SERVICE
CHARGES.

Public service corporations should
be dealt with so as to secure the
best service at the lowest cost to
users. and the plan of taxation should
be so devised that it may be easy to
reduce taxes as the charges for service
are reduced. When the accounts of
public service corporations are kept
as public accounts, and their net earn
ings are limited by the reduction of
charges to reasonable return upon
the actual capital invested, any tax
will be a tax upon the users of the
service. So long as charges for serv-
ice are unlimited by law, or charges
are permitted greatly In excess of the
cost of rendering the service, the
power of taxation may properly be
used to recover for the public part
of the monopoly value due to the lib
erality of the franchise.-Lawson

and Assessments, New York City,

A Seed Supply.


1t Is remarkable how rapidly sup
ply of grain may be built up from a
single four or five pound sample. Take,
for example, four pound sample Of
oats This with ordinary care will
usually produce on the average about
four bushels. This sown the next sea-
son on two acres Of land will, at very
moderate estimate. give 100 and some
times upward Of 200 bushels. Taking
the lower figure as the basis for this
calculation, the crop at the end Of the
second year would be sufficient to SOW
fifty acres. which at the same moder-
ate computation would furnish $500
bushels as available for seed or sale
at the end of the third year.-Dr. VIII
