Educational Trains ring Students

Pullman, Wash.-One OF the good
results of the educational trains sent
out by Washington state college last
summer is seen in the increased en-
rollment of students in the horticui-
trral department which breaks al
records for any department in the
school. The increase in this depart
ment this year is more than 100 pc
cent over that OF last year, the high
est point reached up to that time
large percent of these students
came TO this department this year az
a direct result of the edueationa'
ans unconstitutional work done witf
the trains sent out to show the larm'
ers and fruit growers what Is being
done by the experiment station.

MR. CORBlN,S SUGGESTIONS.

He Believes in Making Tax Dodgers
 Toe the Mark
 The uns .tisfactory collection of mili- tary and poll taxes in Connecticut is one of the subjects discussed at some length in the biennial report of Tax Commis- sioner Corbin.
 He says that majority of the taxing officials are of the opinion that the pres ent laws should be enforced, and if in no other way by depriving delinquents of the right of franchise The method of strict enforcement in some towns, and practically ignoring them in others, the commissioner holds is unjust and inde- fensible and weakens respect for the law.
 MT. Corbin makes many recommends tions ill his report, including:
 Equal enforcement of the present statutes relative to poll and military taxes Ill all towns of the state, or amend ments necessary to that end.
 The enrolment of those liable to poll and military tax as of the same date.
 Authority for a town to appoint a special poll and military officer for the assessment aud collection of such taxes.
 More adequate and uniform oompensa- tion to assessors with the establishment of a minimum daily wage.
 Revaluation of all taxable property on statutory basis at definite periods of from five to ten years.
 The assessment of property at fair marked value as required by the statues as definite business advantage to the municipality.
 The abolition of the custom of .hav- ing only one assessor in a town subdi- vision.
 The election of at least three assessors for minimum term of three years, one assessor being elected yearly.
 The valuation of land and buildings separately.
 The laying of the tax rate after the determination of the grand list
 Changing the general property assess ment date from October to April 1.
 Extension of time for examination by assessors of those failing to give in lists

If the agent gets any circular distribut ing contracts as a result of his "member ship" he is to pay the company 10eS oi his earnings for placing the work with him. Another company" whose ad- vertising matter comes Tn the same en. velope, wants the agent to send them 15 cents for which they will "start you in business supplying scheme and first stock" But they do not say what the business is. The man who answered any of these advertisements expecting to earn certain amount of money for advertising commodity and to earn it as he would earn it by working for a local business man, is a disappointed mortal.

 Simply out of curiosity, and in order to give our subscribers an idea of what these "offers" really are, THE NEWS spent "a few pennies for postal cards the other day and asked dozen or more of these concerns for particulars.
 Some answered and some didn't, par ticularly those who wanted from two to ten cents enclosed to compensate them for outlining their benevolent proposi- tions.

Wage Farmers in the Fourth District
Have Duty to Perform.
Congressman Hinshaw is a candf-
date for denomination in the Fourth
congressional district If ever a man
deserved to be fought to a finish by
every man who carries union card
and by every man who is a friend
of men who carry union cards, Hin
shaw is that man. He stabbed orga-
nized labor in the back at the one
opportunity to do organized labor a
favor. 1t was Hinshaw who cast the
deciding vote that gave an enemy of
organized labor the fattest political
plum in Nebraska. He knew all the
facts, too, and he knowingly insulted
and injured organized labor.
The defeat of Hinshaw would be y
good object lesson. And it will be
remembered, too, never fear. The
contest in the Fourth district pri-
maries is waxing warm, and there are
enough union men in the district to
defeat Hinshaw if they will do their
duty. A vote for Senator Aldrich,
who is contesting with Hinshaw for
the republican congressional nomina-
ton, will be vote to rebuke a man
who has done serious injury to the
| cause of organized labor. Senator
Aldrich is good man and worthy OF
the hearty support of every republi
can unionist in his district. They
ought to get busy and do themselves
a favor while doing favor to theil
fellow unionists throughout the state

Indianapolis Central Labor Union in

They are coming in focks these
days. Last week the Indianapolis
Federation of Labor unanimously en-
dorsed the political plan of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, thus pledg-
ing the support of the local federation
to Bryan The action was taken after
due deliberation, and there was not a
dissenting vote.
This is another answer to the sneer-
ing charge that "Gompers is trying
t. deliver the union vote" 1t is
proof that union men are doing their
own thinking these days, and are net
depending on political machinists to
do it for them.
The Indianapolis Federation has
decided to enlist under the banner of
unionism rather than under the ban

REAPlNG THE WHIRLWiND
*snCIeave's Support of Taft Causing
Republican Managers Worry.


James VanCleave seems to have
suffered a change Of base in his an
tagonism, but as he now defends Taft,
the reason is obvious.
After doing all in his power to out
law union men, destroy the unions and
riace the brand of a criminal on
every trades unionist, VanCleave
seems to realize now that he has
adopted the wrong tactics and the
party to which he is attached also
seems to realize that mistake has
been made. Consequently James lit
tie heart begins to overflow with the
milk of human kindness and his So
licitude for the unionist is pathetic
to see.
However, we pointed out long ago
that the manufacturers were sowing
the wind in permitting VanCleave and
his kind a free hand, and they are
row reaping the Northumberland
Union Advocate.
