The Seattle city tax levy for 1908
is - mills while in Olympia it is 20
mills on about the same valuation as
nearly as the values could be fixed
by the State Board of EQUALIZATION.
Therefore when IA man or woman
complained about high taxes. the old
stock phrase was handed out that our
taxes are no higher than they are in
Seattle. Just as if "a man in the latter
city should beat his mother-in- law.
therefore an Olympia man would be
justified in assaulting his father-in
law. klng county taxes this year
Will be about three per cent. while
ours Will be nearly four per cent. on
the dollar valuation.

State Tax Commissioner J. f.
Frost has been in Seattle talking be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce about
State tax reform. Mr. Frost avoids
comment upon our enormous State
expenditures and indebtedness, in
violation of constitutional law, limit
ed the Indebtedness to $500. 900:
neither does he say anything about
assessing the railroads on the basis
of one hundred and twenty-five
million dollar valuation for revenue
purposes of l9OS-9. Our genial Gov
ernor has also fallen down on the
railroad-tax matter, according to his
estimates made in his opening
speech at Belingham. when he was
seeking a denomination. He acts
on the assumption that our voters
have short memories. Let us hope
