The chemists of the department of
agriculture believe they have solved
the problem of cheaper paper that
will dispense altogether with the use
OF wood fiber. The new material from
which five grades of paper already
have been made is the ordinary corn
stalk, and the Officials predict when
the manufacture of the new kind is
started on large scale it will be at
least 30 per cent. cheaper than the
print paper now made from wood pulp.

Proposed Amendment to State Constitution
STATE OF WAsH1NeroN

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE !
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: In Obedience
to an act OF the legislature approved March 9Th,
1907, entitled as follows: can act providing for
the amendment of section I6 of article one IA of
the Constitution of the state of Washington re
lating to the exercise of the power of eminent
domain" there is hereby published for the con-
slderation of the voters of the state of Washing
ION the following proposed amendment to the
constitution of said state:
That at the general election to be held in
tins state on the Tuesday next succeeding the
nrst MONDAY IN November, 1903, there shall be
submitted to Unqualified electors of the state
lor their adoption and approval an amendment

Commissioner of Public Lands,
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-10-31

Taxation of churches. church prop
erty. schools, hospitals. orphanges
and homes of the poor and friendless
is planned under the workings of one
of the proposed amendments to the
state constitution If it shall be adopt
ed by the voters next Tuesday. Such
properties are now exempt from taxa
tion and emil .htened public sentiment
has for years kept them exempt. But
if this amendment carries these insti-
tutions will be on the Isis of taxable
property and their valuation for tax
alton will become subject to the
whims and prejudices of the State
Tax Commissioners. This develop
ment brings the proposition squarely
home to every church member and
every doer of good works in the state.
The institutions thus threatened have
been built up and are maintained
through the religious sentiment. lib
erality and self denial of thousands
of people. Many of them are burd-
ened with debt and are supported by
voluantry contributions. The pro-
posal that the state shall impose a
penalty on the worship of God and the
care of the unfortunate and needy
seems unlikely to attract the votes of
a sufficient number to make the
proposed change in the costitution.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-10-31

You are hereby advised to place an ex" after
the question "For the Amendment" ETC., or
against the Amendment" etc, as the case may
be so as to express more clearly your affirmative
or negative vote.
