Special to the World.

Special to the World.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 21.-Disgusted by
the numerous child marriages. in
the state of Washington, Senator Ed
Brown today introduced in the sem
ate bill which requires not only the
written consent of the parents, but
the sanction of the presiding supe-
rior court judge as we'll before IL
cense can be issued when one of the
parties is a minor. Senator Brown
believes that in many instances chill
dren, especially young girls, are mar
ried off at tender age by the par
ents or guardians in order to get
them out of the way.
He believes that no girl of 16 is
old enough to be married and that
she should be kept in school, He pro-
poses that the court investigate the
conditions surrounding each appli-
cant for a marriage license where
one or both the parties are under
age In case the court finds the Ii
cense should not be issued, and that
the home conditions are not what
they should be, then the minor Is to
be taken into custody by the proper
authorities and sent to some state
institution.
The provisions apply not only to
girls under the age of IS years, but
to bows under Fl as we'll. 1t is be-
lieved the measure will have the sup
port of the juvenile workers and as
sociations Of the state.

SUPREME COURT DECISION
AFFECTS WENATCHEE REGRADE
Decision Cuts City Out of at Least
$4,000 That Probably Would Have
Been Observation-Disclosures Work on
Avenue Case Will Be Revived at
Once and Rushed Through.

be wrong, although the method has
been in practice for Is years in all
cities in the state. believe the pres
ent legislature should amend the law
and provide that when a city dam
ages property by improvements, full
damages shall be paid regardless of
benefits, and the property then as
sessed according to the benefits. I'm
til this is done, the supreme court
decision makes the financing of large
street improvements practically i'm
possible"
The effect of the decision here is
that it will not be possible to assess
benefits to those property owners who
were assessed damages This was the
procedure contemplated. Some $12,-
900 damages were assessed against
the city by reason of the regrade but
the city authorities had hoped to
have this cut down 1T least half by
reason of the benefits that would &C
crue to the property by reason of
the general improvement of the
street and the enhanced value of the
property. This plan will be impos-
sible under the recent decision, the
supreme court holding that this
would be double assessment. Only
that property that has not been as
sessed damages can be assessed for
benefits.
1t is the plan of the city admins
tration to start work at once on the
next step in the Wenatchee regrade
cases. The papers in the case call
ing for a commission to assess the
benefits are now ready for filing and
will be filed in a few days. The COM
mission to assess the benefits will be
appointed soon and it is expected that
the preliminary work will be accom-
plished by the time the bonds are
sold and the actual regrade work can
be started by early spring.

There is a grea: deal of trouble
on the Great Northern line both east
and west of Wenatchee. The yester-
day afternoon trains came in not very
far behind time, but the westbound
due at II o'clock last night and the
eastbound due this morning are held
up and there is no certainty as to
when either of them will get in.
Crab creek, east of here, is on a
great rampage, and it is said that
several miles of the Great Northern
roadbed has been washed out at
Odessa Water is also running down
the main street of Wilson Creek as
result of the overflow of this creek.
Yesterday a large crew was main
tanned along the track filling sacks
with sand and piling them along the
roadbed and thus keeping the water
off of the track. Last night, how
ever, the floods became unmanage-
able and worked a great deal of dam
age and it may be several days be-
fore trains are able to get through.
The trouble to the west is even
worse than at any time this week.
Train service on the Great North
ern coast line, between Everett and
Seattle, is completely demoralized by
series of slides. The heavy rains
of Sunday and the warm winds of
the past few days softened the earth
so that great masses of the high bank
caved in upon the tracks. The trou-
BILE began late Monday night and has
continued steadily since.
Between Leavenworth and the
summit there is all kinds of trouble.
The slides are continuous and the
soft snow and rain of last night has

The legal procedure in the Wenat-
chez avenue regrade case has been
affected to some extent by a recent
decision of the supreme court in the
Seattle Jackson street regrade case.
The decision does not affect this city
so vitality as it does other cities
where a different procedure has been
taken. Every city in the state with
more than 1900 inhabitants is af-
fected more or less by the decision,
which brought to stop the half
million dollar regrade of Jackson
street in Seattle. At present that
city is up in the air on the question
of financing the Jackson street re-
grade, as well as a number of other
gigantic improvements. The supreme
court decision was rendered in the
case of Schuchard against the city
of Seattle, and knocked out the emf
nent domain law of 1898 as amended
in 1907.
The decision is best explained by
G. Ward Kemp, Seattle lawyer,
who tried the Schuchard case and
secured the decision against the
weakness of the statute. "The emf
nent domain law of 1898" says Mr.
Kemp, while it permitted the dam
aging of private property for street
improvements, did not provide for
the assessment of such property after
damages had been allowed In the
Jackson street case the city damaged
land in making a valuable improve
ment, and only allowed damages
after deducting the value of the bene-
fits which the property would receive
The city then tried to assess the
property to pay for the Improvement
The property was practically taxed
twice, once when the benefits were
deducted from the damages, ant
again when the land was assessed.

CHE[AN WANTS
NEW TROUT LAW
PEOPLE OF CHELAN WANT LAW
PASSED ALLOWING TROUT
LINE AT ALL SEASONS.

The people of Chelan have framed
a new trout fishing law, making it le-
gal to catch trout in Chelan lake and
river at all seasons of the year. A
CODY of the bill has been sent to
Sam R. Sumner, of this city, who is
on the fisheries commission appoint
ed by Governor Mead for the pur-
pose of revising the present fisheries
laws. The bill may be amended
slightly to incorporate some provi-
sions required by the local sports
men and it will then be sent to Rep
resentative Holm and its passage
urged.
The bill wanted by the Chelan peo
pie is as follows:
Section /. 1t shall be lawful tt
catch trout with hook and line at al
seasons of the year in Chelan river
and in Lake Chelan and all its trib
utaries, in the state of Washington
It shall be unlawful to catch, cap

DOES NOT FAVOR
A BACHELOR TAX
w. O. PARR CITES THAT LAWS
IN THIS STATE SERIOUSLY DIS
CRIMINATE AGAINST THE UN-
MARRIED MAN.

Attorney w. o. Parr does not ap-
prove of the position of the Daily
World in trying to stir up an agita-
ton for state law taxing bachelors.
He thinks the publication in yester-
days paper of the press dispatches
showing what the legislatures of
Iowa, Texas and Missouri are doing
tends to stir up undue sentiment on
the matter and he does not favor any
further taxation for this afflicted
class Mr.. Parr uses as an argument
that in his state there is discrimin-
alton against the unmarried man in
that the laws exempt from taxation
personal property of a married man
to the value of $500. In this city
last year the levy was about Az
mills, making the tax about $3.50.
He thinks that this should be sufi-
cient extra taxation and asks that the
Daily World desist from any further
agitation of this matter.
In view of the above discrimina-
ton against the bachelors this great
family jorunal will not ask for any
further taxation inasmuch as the un-
married man has had punishment
enough to bear in his single state and
that in the majority OF instances the
fault for his being single lies not
with himself alone.

The report of City Clerk Sumner,
showing the receipts and disburse-
ments for the past year, was read at
the council meeting Tuesday night.
The report shows that the total re-
ceipts for the past year were $685.
1886, and the disbursements $780,
6O3.47, leaving a deficit for the year
of $16,869S1. Included in the list
of expenditures are many items that
go for permanent improvements and
will not have to go in the disburse-
ment sheet for the coming year. For
instance it cost the city $3.50 to
handle the smallpox situation last
spring. The purchase of the city
park took $4,000. The last payment
on the city jail took $577. There
were expended for new water mains
last year approximately $4,000.
While there will have to be many
new mains laid this year, yet this
expense will not have to come out
of the general fund but is provided
for in the recent bond issue of $751;
900. In all there was expended last
year about $4,000 that went for
permanent improvements and the ex-
penses this year should be less about
chat amount.
Z The city clerk asks that any items
that are not understood in this re-
port be referred to him and he will
gladly explain them, and asks fur
Their that no criticisms be directed
to the city administration on the ex-
penditures until everything is fully
understood. The report is as fol-
lows:
