THE WAR IS ON
ROYAL ARCH VOWS
Declares Local Option Shall Not
Prevail in Washington

Put a stop to the system of per-
hitting breweries to take out an
unlimited number of saloon licen.
ses.
Make every man in the saloon
business responsible for the con.
duct Of his place of business.
Elevate the general tone of the
saloons and drive out of business
Ill dive keepers and law breakers.
Raise funds to carry on the
fight against the passage of adverse
legislation which is aimed at the
legitimate saloon keeper.
These are some of the purposes
Of the Knights of the Royal Arch
Is announced by Albert A. Piller
Of San Francisco, a member of the
grand lodge and general organizer,
who is spending a few days in Spo-
kane in the interest of the order.
The Royal Arch is an an or
sanization Of retail liquor dealers
and was formed for the protection
Of their mutual interests" stated
Nj. Piller.
While its active membership is
confined to retail liquor dealers,
this does not mean that all liquor
dealers may become members, and
We have no place in Our ranks for
the divekeeper or the man who dis
obeys the law
Mr.. Piller states that the Royal
Arch proposes to take active part
IN the campaign in this state this
tall and that a large fund will be
raised for the purpose of trying to
secure the election of members to
ne legislature who will not vote
tor q local option law or any other
measure which will be inimical to

SORRY OUTLOOK
FOR TAXPAYERS
State Debt Constantly Increasing
Taxpayers Foot ali Bills

The boys down the street have
Our sympathy. The Tribune says
the state Indebtedness under the
Mead administration has increased.
The Post Intelligencer says it has
decreased. Now who right? We
think we knew what we were talk
ing about when we printed the ar
ticle referred to and we are still of
the same opinion. Months ago the
general fund appropriations were
exhausted. The governor having
the power to issue bonds under
such conditions, borrowed $3.50
900 from the permanent school
fund to tide over and carry on the
business of state until the legisla-
ture again met and appropriated
money to make up the deficiency.
How are the present conditions of
the state finances?
With the big spring tax pay
ments practically all in, the condi
ton of the states general expense
fund is more than S167, 900 worse
today than it was on the same date
in the first year of the Mead adj
ministration three years ago.
The bonded Indebtedness is S25-
900 greater, there is SIP, 900 less
in cash in the general fund, the
tax rate is higher and the average
monthly expenditures are more
than doubled.
The increase in the bonded in
debtedness and the difference in
cash aggregate, in completed fig
ures, S137 ,445.52. But three years
ago the current institutional funds
were kept intact. Thirty thousand
dollars that otherwise would had
to have been paid out of The gen
eral fund has, under a new law,
been taken from the institutional
funds. This added to the deple-
ton, makes up the S176, 900.
Three years ago today the state
had in its general fund 1928, 900
as surplus to run it through the
period when revenues are small.
This year it has but S211 900.
Then the average expenditures for
the preceding four months had
been $4,000. This year the av-
erage expenditures for January,
February, March and April were
S229, 900.
Three years ago the taxpayers
of the state were paying the state s
expenses by levy of 212 mills on
about a 80 per cent valuation OF
their property. This year they
are paying 3 mills on a 90 per cent
valuation.
The difference in tax receipts IS
shown by comparing the payments
of the three big counties in 1908
and 1908. King county had re-
mitted up to May /, 1905, $685. z0z'
this year the county has sent III
S115,17o. Pierce in 1905 had PAID
S27, 900; this year it paid S79' no.
Spokane in 1905 had paid S25,732;
this year it has paid $50, $50.
The reason the states financial
affairs are not in better shape WIN
such an increase in taxes IS due 10
the fact that the last Legislature
annropriated more money than the
two preceding legislatures COM
bined.
The calls on the general tuna fof
these appropriations are by no
means all in. With a smaller SUI

Saddest of the Sad

IT'S sad, when you must borrow cash,
To find your friend won't lend it;
To be in Jail for taking graft,
And can't get out to spend it.
IT'S sad to walk where peaches grow,
And be too short to reach them;
To mountaineering sermons write,
And not be asked to preach them.
IT'S sad to learn scandal, through
A key-hOle, SO can't tell it.
To read the joke you called your own,
Before you'd time to sell it.
But this is far the saddest fate
The sun will ever shine on;
To be a vine and want to Irvine,
And have no oak to Irvine on.

CHASING SUBJUNCINf

A Perplexing Pastine Which Threat
ems International Trouble.

William buckingham. representa-

the commercial and intricate mechan-
ical problems of his business is a
student Of literature and language. He
is not satisfied with a mere reading
or speaking knowledge Of foreign
language but he insists upon delving
into the niceties Of it and upon know
ing more about it than the average
not fully educated native does.
In the course Of his studies Of Span
ish he came upon the intricacies Of
the subjunctive mood. which is more
or less Of a bugbear ia all languages.
and which is not dealt with fully i'm
the grammar Of any language The
stump against which Mr. Buckingham
ran in Spanish reminded him that the
English subjunctive had never been
disposed Of to his complete satisfac-
ton. He has taken the matter up
with various college presidents and
professors of English and all " them
have so far confessed that they are
not quite clear regarding the subjunc-
tive and none Of them knew Of any
work which makes the subject clear
In the meantime he has also been
pursuing or trying to pursue the
Spanish subjunctive to its lair He
has been in correspondence with the
leading teachers Of Spanish in this
country regarding subjunctive forms
and some Of them have replied that
they are in state Of confusion.
Finallf' Mn Buckingham acting up
on the advice of a teacher of Spanish
made an international affair Of 1t by
writing To the Mexican ambassador at
Washington about it, The reply of
the ambassador shows that he knows
as much about it as the writers of
Spanish grammars. but they have all
neglected to define the limitations of
the subjunctive except in the general
way i'm which il has been done by
writer's Of English grammars
Mr.. buckingham in the excitement
Of the chase was about to open COM
munication with the ministers of the
Central American republics but was
cautioned by friend that those coun-
tries are already in restless and
pecvish state and are not feeling the
best toward the United States. so that
it would be better not to complicate
matters further at this time. 1t was
also suggested that Secretary Root
might next summer make another tour
of South and Central America when.
he could be induced To include the
Spanish subjunctive among the sub
jects concerning which there should
be a perfect accord among the people
Of the western hemisphere
