There Is no bus;er man in the
Pacific Northwest today than Levi
Grant Monroe, secretary of the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce, who, at
the instance of Rev. d. d. Vaughn,
pastor OF the Halsted Street Institu-
tional church, Chicago, consented
to forward letters from bachelors In
the Inland Empire to the love-hun-
CRY girls and women connected
with DR.. Vaughn's congregation
When it was announced that there
are fully 1000 fairly well-to-do
young bachelors i'm the Inland EN-
pirc it was believed that the fg-
ures were being crowded, but Mr..
Monroe is ready to testify under
oath there are at least 10000 in the
Northwest, and, he added, there are
more than five times that number of
eligible young women east of the
Missouri river. This estimate is
based upon the shcafs of letters that
have EOmc to his desk during the
last five days. They are from New
England, the south middlewest and
east, with a sprinkling from the
eastern provinces in Canada. The
impression prevails at the chamber

necessary TO buy a road roller. II Is
claimed that this road roller was
really purchased by the commissioners
asst November and that It was sent
here then. Auditor Allen refused to
certify to the commissioners that
there is sufficient money in the treas
ury to pay for the roller and al
though II is here ana has been in use
for six months, It has not been paid
for and will not be, unless the court
orders. Mr.. Allen practically made
it certain in a statement today, that
he will not recede from his position
II Is not that the objects to the road
roller, as the county is really IN need
of one, but he does not like the va
rious irregularities i'm the manner ol
securing the roller. The Huber COM
pany makes roller, said to be one
of the best i'm the country. The one
contracted for by the commissioners
is made in Chicago.
On April IS, 1909, n test was made
Of the Huber and the Austin and
Western rollers on the Bupyrus pike,
Mr. Allen witnessed the test and 50
did two OF the commissioners. The
Huber is operated by steam while
the other is propelled by a single
cylinder gasoline motor. 1t is Mr.
Aliens opinion that the Huber made
far the best showing lin the trial.
The commissioners refuse TO even
discuss the subject. 1t is learned on
good authority that they intend to
ship the roller back IL It is not paid
for. The only other course Is to
bring mandamus suits against Allen
TO compel him TO pay not only for
the roller but for the labor performed
i'm operating 1t. The price of the
roller is $500
Mr. Allen claims that the commits
sioners have tried petty tactics
against him for refusing TO keep out
of the road roller deal. In one in
stance they refused to allow bills for
stationery and supplies in the audit
or's office, all of which were neces-
sar'y. AS a result the supplies had to
be returned
Taxpayers of the county will watch
the present case with more than
casual interest.

JIM HILLS WARNING.

When men like James J. Hill stop
to warn the administration thai
something is going to happen unless
the campaign pledges are redeemed
in regard to a genuine revision of the
tariff. there should be some reason
able expectation that the standpat-
ters in congress will give heed.
MIR. Hill has given long years Of
intimate study to the question, and
his opinion is backed up by a vast
amount of practical experience. His
advice, is, therefore. entitled to spc-
cial weight.
In the course Of a recent interview
he says:
The people throughout the coun-
ny feel that something has been
promised to them in the way of tariff
revision, said Mr.. Hill, and they
want to get it. Both parties placed
pledges in their national platforms
% revise the tariff. The task has
been entrusted Ito one party, but II
it fails lin my opinion, the duty OF
tariff revision will then be given to
those who are unfrisndly to the pro
tective policy.
Party lines have never been so
nearly obliterated as at present.
With this condition, a party cannot
afford to disregard the demands up
on it.
Il have no special interest in this
tariff bill. But l have an interes.
IN the prosperity Of the country. We
are tired Of conditions that have ex-
listed for the last two years. We
want to get the business of the
country on a sound basis. To do
that we need to get the tariff ques-
ton out Of the way"
Mr. Carnegie and Mr.. Hill are
substantially in accord on this ques-
ton, and so are a number of other
leading business men who view the
tariff as business proposition with

MORTGAGE TAXATION.

The state Of Virginia is trif;no
with double edged sword-a prom
osiUion TO exempt mortgages from
taxation on the ground that such =
tax is double taxation. The old and
plausible argument is advanced that
Il man buys 4 $1,000 house for
$1,000 and gives a mortgage of 81
600 for the balance, the house is
taxed for $4,000 and tho mortgage
is taxed for four thousand, making
$4,000 worth of value for tax pu--
poses whereas in reality but $4,000
worth Of the value exists.
rms is a bit OF tax sophistry that
Is often heard, but it won't orI,
out in practice. 1t oyerlooks the fact
that both the house and the mo,..-
gage are negotiable properties and
therefore for 10th commercial aad
tan purposes are separate and dis
tiLct. If, in trying to cure the al
legged injustice, a man were allow
ed TO deduct the amount of his mort
gage from the value of his house. q
vast amount of taxable property
would suddenly disappear from the
books. The rule would have TO 10

and there is not railroad in the
country that is not bonded to its full
value; ergo the railroads would oay

great corporations. commonly known
as trusts. arc also bonded to the full
limit and they, too, would escap ne
taxation. IT, on the other hand.
mortgages were exempt which won 4
also necessarily exempt bonds. the
Just complaint would be made thai
the owners of tangible property wore

CONVICT LABOR

The suggestion of selling the sc.-
vices OF the pcnitcntiary convicts
to the highest bidder has been the
subjed OF considerable comment
There are cogcnt reasons against
such course on the part Of the state
in the first place il places convict
labor in competition with honest Ia
Dor, thereby jepriying labor Of a fair
competence i'm the particular line ia
which the convict labor may be 20.
qTired to follow. We are of opinion
that it would be very unwise TO
make such disposition Of our cou-
vic labor.
Why not put convict labor on the
pubic roads? This would be solu-
ttol which would prove beneficial 20
che health of the convicts, avoid
competition of convict labor with
honest labor, and at the same time
greatly improve the public roads OF
The state. West Virginia has given
roo little attention to her roads
most likely good roads" law will

Bodied coAyicts to various counties
IEis would be of inestimable value

We favor convict labor on on,
