Won't the city authorities do
something to drive away the mos
quito pest that is making life la;ser-
able in this city at present ?The tour
list season is now on, and mosquitoes
have such bad reputation with
most people of intelligence now-a-
days that the fact of there being so
many here will hurt the town. The
pest has been kept down very largely
during the summer by the good work
of the health authorities, who have
made several tours, putting oil on all
water containers, but there is great
need of further precautions just now.
The city police force rounded I'D
ten bOot-biacks on the streets We'd
nesday night, who, in spite of the or
der of the city council that they must
not ply their trade on the streets,
were out with their shine boxes. They
were taken to the city hall, where
they were all locked in the same
room, and their parents were then
sent for by Chief of Police Conner.
After the parents had congregated
in the city's temple of justice, Chief
Conner told them of the new order
by the council and informed them
that, the next time the boys were
caught on the streets with shine
boxes, they would not only be ar
rested but that they would be sent
to jail. On the promise of the parents
that they would keep the boys at
home they were released and sent
home with their parents.

Evening Statesman's disclosure of Mr.
Bassetts duplicity it is stated that at
meeting of the electors in the town
of Ethiopia in Franklin county this
week he repeated the assertion that he
did not vote for Senate bill No 81
Fortunately for the people of Ell
topia and incidentally for the people of
the Eleventh senatorial district there
was man present who was possessed
of copy of the house journal of the
session of 1907, and this man took oc-
casion to read to the people in Mr.
Bassett's presence the cold and unal-
terable record of the passage of this
Ubiquitous measure, which record car
ried with it the bald statement that
among the supporters of this bill was

TAX EXEMPTION.

The Farmers union of Washington
is unanimous in asking the repeal of
the notorious law exempting mortg-
ages and other credits from tax
alton. The farmer is a heavy tax
payer and it is no more than just to
him that the burden of taxation should
be equally distributed. The exemption
of moneys and credits from taxation
tend to place heavy burden upon him.
Though he possesses those items
which are exempt under the law, yet
owing to this fact the levy on real
estate raises his taxes much higher.
AT the recent meeting of the Far
mers' union of Walla Walla county the
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas our legislature has placed
upon the statute books law exempt
ing moneys and credits, thereby elm
mating a large amount of the most
valuable property property possible to
own, from our assessment rolls, plac-
ing an extra burden on our real es-
tate and personal property as produ-
GERS, which we deem unjust and tend

MR.. COSGROVE AGAIN.

The local organ of Boxerism, which
has done its share towards the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Samuel G.. Cosgrove for
governor and the editor of which has
a personal interest in Mr.. Cosgrove's
election. last night announced in large
headlines that the next governor of
the state of Washington introduced the
present executive to the citizens of
Pomeroy.'
A close reading of the alleged spec
ial'' which follows fails to disclose that
Mr.. Cosgrove was present at the Mead
rally in Pomeroy. A special dispatch
to The Evening Statesman last even
ing was to the effect that Mr.. Cos
grove. who is suffering from Brights
disease. was too i'll to attend the Mead
rally, the biggest demonstration held
in Pomeroy during this campaign. 1t
would appear therefore that when the
Boxer organ stated that Mr. Mead was
introduced by Mr.. Cosgrove that the
said Boxer organ was telling an I'M
truth.
The sooner Mr.. Cosgrove's friends
learn that the people do not relish
being made monkeys of, even in mat
tiers regarding the physical condition
of the man for whom they are expected
to vote. the. sooner they admit that
Samuel G. Cosgrove of Pomeroy, the
republican candidate for governor, is

OUR Mr.. HYDE.

1t is peculiarly significant that those
who best know j. d. Bassett of Ritz
vile. are the most emphatic in their
statement that he is not the proper
man to represent any legislative dis
trict in any legislative body.
AS business man it appears that
Mr.. Bassett is above reproach, but as
politician and an alleged statesman
he can certainly discend to the lowest
depths of deception.

sett lied in the presence of a crowd OF
well known Walla Wallans with ref

tax exemption law, technically known
as Senate bill No. so. Despite The
