Beginning with the spring OF 1919,
and for several years following that
date, there was complete harmony be-
tween the residents of the territory OF
Washington and the Representatives OF
the railroad and the navigation com

of railroads was but to advance the IN
terest Of the territory, and was an add
ed inducement to the Investment OF
capital in our numerous Industrial
enterprises With improved means OF
transportation and new arteries for

made to unbosom their virgin wealth
bv the introduction of the ploughshare,
Villages, towns and cities sprang up
throughout the length and breadth OF

RAILROADS UNDER STATEHOOD.
With this new and more compile
form of government there necessarily
came additional expenses. State ana
county officers had to be paid crimes
b ad to be punished, ard property had
TO be protected. Ia order to maintain
good government had to employ good
officers, and good officers required good
paw. Ia order to raise the necessary
funds to defray the unavoidable eA
penses of the state general tax, OF
course. was levied on all taxable pre-
