inject into this fight question which is not re-

which is not before the people at all He has done
this for the purpose of bringing into the night what

been inflicted within the past few years is an
illustration Of Of the unfair methods by
which big concerns have been driving smaller
this method of dealing with trusts is TO give
the little concern a fair chance against the big

Mr. Bryan's plan is that as soon as It is dis
covered that some manufacturing concern has
got what he calls control of some article the
article shall be put on the free list, taking off
all protection whatever. and running both the
trust and all its competitors at the same time;
for, a general rule, American manufacture
cannot paw American wages and compete in our
markets with European manufacture, paying
European wages, without some protection The
necessary effect Of such proceeding would be
to close the American manufactures, throw the
American workmen out of employment and COM
pei our people TO make al their purchases or
the particular articles concerned in Europe. This
would not merely be ruinous to the competing
American manufacturer as well as to the trust
but would be most disastrous u it's effect upon

BRYANISM AND FREE TRADE.
Mr. Bryan's platform declares that as to all
articles in which American manufacturers COM

be reduced to revenue basis; that Is 10 say,

protecting American manufacture. Little atten-

report" and sure enough there was no hurry used
in sending it. AS a result, the taxpayers are
obliged to pay for his leisurely attitude And he
wants to stay in the office some more
Stevens county was the only county in the state
which did not send in this report on personal
taxes. AS result the taxpayers are paying an
unjust increase Of $50 on their personal taxes this
year. If you like it, keep up the rotation in Office
make the auditors office hereditary one-let the
deputy become auditor and the auditor become
deputy. You will pay for all you get even though
you don't get all you pay for.
The state levy which is paid to the state this
year is 6.93 mills. This in itself is sufficient
burden upon the county taxpayers. But when,
through inattention to business a county official
forces the county to pay nearly double the per-
centage of increase in taxes to the state it is time
for the people to take notice.

These figures were secured from the treasurer's
books. They show that in two years the town of
Northport had lost the amount of $50, $50 in taxa
BILE property-not very good showing for that
town. which claims to be growing. In two years
Kettle Falls has advanced backward to the amount
Of $13, 4O9-which will not look very we'll when the
citizens Of that town try to make people believe
their place is growing Colvile is $34, 946 poorer
in property than it was two years ago, if the
worthy assessor is to be believed. Springdale has
lost two-thirds of it's taxable value in two years.
according to the assessor. The taxable value of
the property in Newport has nearly doubled in
two years, which is fine showing for that busy
city on the river and is also fine showing for the
commissioners, for they sent for man from New
port to revise the assessment which had been
made by Mr.. Sutherland, who desires to be elected
commissioner on the republican ticket.
Now no resident of Stevens county believes that
these figures of the assessor express the real
diton of affairs in the county. If they were true
it would seem that at the rate for the last two
years there would be nothing left in the county in
ten years.
Stevens county is growing, and is growing fast
Values are on the rise and have been for the last
two years. If the assessor has not the ability to
find the values in the county, or even to find the
same amount of property as his predecessor found,
then it is time to get man in the assessors office
who can find the property For every dollar of
property which is missed or skipped or concealed
by friendly assessor has to be made up by the

Why County Taxes Are High
(ANOTHER REASON)


Many people throughout the county note with
alarm the increased taxes this year. Even some
of the county papers, which are nearly all repub-
lican, have called attention to the fact that the
taxes have noticeably increased in the last two
years. For the benefit Of those who are interested
in knowing one of the reasons, the following in
formation is given:
From proceedings state board of equalization for 1907
page 18, Thursday, Sept. 10, 1907
The abstract OF personal property assessment not having
been received from Stevens county, it was, notion
ordered that 2O be added the amount of personal prop
ey equazed by the county board of Stevens county for
the year 1906 and said be taken the equazed value
of personal property in Stevens county by this board
The value of personal property sent in to the
state for 1906 was 81, 1913, 568. Through the negi
gence of some Stevens county official the report
for 1907 was not sent in, and 2O% was added to
the 1906 valuation as the valuation for the year
1907. But personal property did not increase 2O%.
The natural increase was only 1919. (The 1907
valuation was 81, sol, ,587.)
Stevens county has to pay to the state 20% in
crease, when it should pay but 1919 increase.
Some official thus cost the county considerable
money.
The work of sending in this report was in the
hands of L. E. Jesseph, deputy auditor. He
stated that there was mo hurry in sending in the

commissioners, democrats 344Io oZISO 3lSSO 990SaVeu
The offices of auditor, assessor and clerk, all
held by republicans, show an enormous increase in
expenses in two years. WhG
A reasonable increase is to be expected in a
growing county, but 2896, $3.50 and 6796 are out of
all proportion to the increase in business
And then again: The sheriffs office is doing
twice the work of any of the predecessors, yet
with only go increase in expenses There never
has been school superintendent in the county
who has done more work than Daisy Hard is do
ing, yet in two years the expense of the office has
increased but 10 per cent.
Note that the county attorney is saving money
for the county. Yet the law has never been en-
forced as it is in this county today. Must be a
good man in that office.
And the poor, maligned, downtrodden county
commissioners. They get the blame for increased
taxes for enormous expenditures, for alleged mis-
deeds, and all other matters which the people do
not thoroughly understand. And yet their ex-
penses are being reduced each year, and the pres
sent democratic board has saved the county per
cent in their expenses in two years, has reduced
the net Indebtedness of the county S23, 900 in two
years, has brought the county to business basis,
and the county warrants can be sold Now would
you care to go back to the old system Of mis-
management, or will you heed the official figures,
as prepared by republican office holder?
If you want to see one reason why taxes are
high, see the increased cost of maintaining a re-
rublican auditor, assessor and clerk And the
same officials noaV IN these offices avant to stay IN
office!

date for reelection. Isn't it wise to keep him? T.
r. Major, another member of the board, is a candi

retain his ability for the benefit of the taxpayers
and break up the expensive auditors office ring?

Why County Taxes Are High
(ANOTHER REASON

(ANOTHER REASON
1t is the duty of the county assessor to compile
the valuations of all property in the county for the
purpose of assessment. If the assessor lists all
the property in the county, the burden of taxation
will rest equally upon all persons according to the
amount of property they own. If certain class
of friends of the assessor or the party skip
ped the rest of the people have to make up for it.
The present assessor has evidently made no at
tempt to list all of the property in the county, He
has favored individuals, banks, merchants and
members of his party and his ring-at least that
is the way the records would make it appear. The
following table forms the basis of this statement
