NARROW TIRES BARRED.
King County Commissioners Take
Action to Stop Destruction Of
Roads by Narrow Tires.

The county attorney of King coun-
ty has informed the county commits
sioners that the board is empowered
by statute to stop the hauling OF
heavy loads over county roads in
wagons with narrow tires, by posting
warning notices on the roads to the
the effect that prosecution will fol-
low any further offenses. The ses-
sion of the county commissioners of
the state at Tacoma last winter rec
commended that the legislature pass a
law requiring three-inch tires to be
used under two-ton loads, and five
inch tires under fOur-tOn loads. This
schedule will be followed by the COM
missoners of King county
Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh
wrote the board of commissioners, in
part, as follows: 'The board has the
right, under the general statute CIV
ing the county board general super
vision over the highways, to make
uleS anu lOI llc DIOleC-
ton and conservation of the public
highways. If the use of narrow tires
upon heavily loaded wagons tends to
injure the highways, the board
could post notices warning all per-
sons against the use Of such tires un-
der certain conditions, and upon non
compliance Herewith could punish
the offenders under the statute men
toned. There are two statutes gov
erning the matter, each making it a
misdemeanor punishable by fine or
Imprisonment to willfully injure a
public highway. The position may
be reasonably taken that the use of
narrow tires under heavy loads, in
disregard of posted notices, would be
willful and malicious injury to the
public highway, and amenable to
the punishment provided. The post
ed notice should warn the user of
narrow tires with heavy loads that
he would be held accountable for
damages"

HAS A PIPE DREAM.
Hoquiam Correspondent of the
Washingtonian ''Sees Things" in
Line of Aberdeen Politics.

OF all the pipe dreams heretofore
worked off on the Washingtonian
anent Aberdeen affairs, the article
this morning on probable conditions
in the new city council is deserving
of the blue ribbon.
The correspondent aligns the new
council into two factions, the saloon
lists and ants, placing D. M. Bowes
at the head of the former, and says
trouble will begin over the appoint
i've officers to be named by Mayor
France.
The story is quite we'll written,
and, as a space-filler, is all right, its
only defect being the utter absence
of line of truth, trace of which
element is usually considered requi-
site in newspaper item. Putting
Bowes at the head of the saloon fac
ton, and attributing to that bunch
the selection of the officers named in
the article causes an Aberdeen man,
at all wise to the situation, to
smile.

DUTY ON WOOD PULP|
STANDPAT newspapers SHOULD
Be CONSISTENT.
Crying for Immediate Removal of
Duties on Pulp and Paper While
They IndOrSe the POStpOnement
of Tariff Revision Until After
EleC tiOn is UntenabIe.

Those republican newspapers that
are urging congress to remove at once
the duty on pulp and wood paper,
while at the same time they indorse the
party policy to postpone tariff revis-
ion until after the coming president
ial election, are taking a position that
is inconsistent and untenable. They
seek special legislation in their own
behalf, but are willing that action for
the relief of others should be put off
until a future time. By such course
they place themselves in an unfavor-
able light before the people.
That the duty on pulp wood and
paper should be removed when gener-
al tariff revision is entered upon is not
denied except by the paper trust. It's
removal was recommended by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his message to con-
gress and is urged by all who realize
the leverage the duty gives to the
paper trust to advance the price of
white paper.
The president urged that pulp wood
be put on the free list in order to pro-
mote importation and save onr own
forests from the spoliation that is
going on so rapidly as to threaten their
extinction. The newspapers want it
admitted free so that the unreasonable
advances in the price of paper may be
checked. Both reasons are good and
will justify congress taking favorable
action at the proper time.
The paper trust has given publishers
ample reason to complain. Many
newspapers throughout the country
have been compelled to raise their
subscription rate in order to cover the
advanced cost of paper. Others which
could not raise their price have become
losing enterprises because of the ex-
cessive and burdensome charges i'm
posed by the paper trust.
But there are trusts or monopolies
in other lines of business as we'll as in
paper, and the people who suffer on
account of them are as much entitled
to relief as are the publishers. To
urge immediate relief for themselves
and advocate postponement in regard
to others is unworthy of newspapers
that avowedly stand for justice to the
whole people, They should take their
medicine with the others until such
time as relief comes under the general
revision that is promised.-Spokane

At the time the public school sys-

all the educators were agreed on one

OF study must be found on the theory
of the absolute equality Of all Ameri-
