an alleged attack on the American

1t is said the American consul fears a
further attack and declares that the
Guatemalan authorities have refused
to protect him, alleging that Guate-

ton Of Germany graft in any form

moyor Of a city like Berlin the ap-
piicant must have established his repu-
tation for efficiency in governing other
German cities. His career is carefully
scrutinized by the members Of the
town council who select him, for not
only must he be competent and sue

The World of last week attempts
to put the lie upon Mr.. Martin and
quotes an article from Mr.. Wipf &c
that effect. The trouble with the
statement of Wipf is that it is false,
Mr.. Martins attention has been
called to Mr.. Wipfs statement and
his reply is as follows:
Marion, March 4, 1908.
My dear Mr.. Hackett:
IL have found time this morning
to examine the circular distributed
at the close of the meeting last night,
and headed e. W. Martin Misrepresents
The Facts"
"The facts are precisely as gave
them in my address at Parker, as
can easily be proved. The circular
referred to is absolutely unreliable
and untruthful. / stated that the
Office of secretary of state has appro-
priated for 1907 and 1908, So ,064
more than for the two previous years,
the Office of commissioner of schools
and public lands, $8,7 more, the
Office of superintendent of public
instruction, $500 more, and the
attorney generals Office 81 900 more.
These facts the circular in question
disputes. The proof is easily found
by examination Of the appropriations
as published in the State Session
Laws OF 1905 and 1907.
II will cite the pages and figures
for each:
Laws 1905

1t will be seen by the above that
Mr.. Martin is combining himself to
the record when he is talking Of the
present state administration and its
expenditures Of money and no
printed statements Of Secretary Of
State Wipf can successfully contra
dict the figures taken from the ses-
sion laws Of the state. They are the
best evidence and will be believed

THOSE DELINQUENT TAXES.

Delinquent taxes in many counties
Of the state are collected by spec
ial collector who requires one. half of
the total amount paid except for the
last year on which he secures twenty
per cent OF the total.
In Day county the sheriff secures
tor collecting delinquent taxes one
half Of the penalty and interest
This gives the sheriff about five per
cent Of the amount collected by him
for the last year. For years previous
TO this his average per centage is
about twelve per cent.
Is will be seen that the counties
having special collector pay from
four TO i've times as much as Day
county for getting this very neces-
sary work done.

KEEP EVANS!

GREAT disappointment is universally
tT felt and expressed over the
W announcement that Admiral Evans
will not rejoin the battle fleet at San
Diego and will not participate in any
functions and celebrations in the ports
of Southern California. Under the cir
cunstances California should take some
definite, tangible, permanent form of
expressing to Admiral Evans its hearty
appreciation of his services to his coun-
try and of his final act of grit and gal
lantry in endeavoring, in despite of
harassing physical torture, to bring
the fleet to these shores. Let us give
him home in the California sunshine
and near the healing waters Money
for such a timely and suitable gift as a
house and grounds could be raised easily
by popular subscription, and it would
neither be beneath his dignity nor
repugnant to his pride to accept
such a gift. The British government is
in the habit of giving handsome homes
to it's great commanders when they are
retired. The American people would be
equally appreciative if they had the
opportunity.
