READY

The new depot is almost completed
and would be ready for use almost
any time if the new city sewer work
in that vicinity were ready. The de-
pot benches are to be put into place
yet and there are several other minor
matters to attend to, but the building
can be gotten ready at very short no.
tice now The steel watertOwer is
up and work has just been started
on the big tank that will surmount it.
The subway to the boats will be
ready in a few days. The trains have
been using a sidetrack while the
trestle for the main track across the
subway was being built into place.
The trestle is ready now for the steel
to be put down and the trains will be
going over on the main line in a day
or two Then the excavation work
will be resumed and the runway will
be ready for traffic almost any time.

INCOME TAX LAW EFFECTIVE


s35O,OOO. Many others will be taxed
from $4,000 to 100000.
The census of 1906 showed the
capital of corporations engaged in
manufacture at that time to be $1O,-
.51O,811.305. The growth of corpora
tons for the five years prior to 1905
was about 40 per cent. 1t is regarded
as altogether likely that, with the
constantly improved condition of bust
ness throughout the country it will
be found. when the census is taken
next year. that there has been con-
siderably greater increase than 40 per
cent over 1905. even with the setback
of the panic If this is found to be
the case the corporation tax yield will
be much higher than $25, 100000.
1t is foregone conclusion that
strenuous efforts will be made to have
the corporation tax declared uncon-

Washington, Dec. 31.-The income
tax imposed by act of congress passed
August 5, 1909, becomes effective to-
morrow and is retroactive. providing
for the payment of the tax for the
year ending today. The law levies a
tax of | per cent on the net income
of al corporations. joint stock COM
panies. associations and insurance
companies with net income in ex-
cess of $4,000 annually.
1t is calculated that the tax will
WELD to the United States government
an annual revenue of from $25, OOO,-
900 up This is only rough figuring,
as it is impossible to get at the exact
data of any corporations but the rail
roads, excepting as the corporations
have consented TO give information in
;heir periodical reports. The rail
roads are obliged, by law, to file COM
plete reports with the interstate COM
poration tax law all corporations will
be REQUIRED to file with the internal
revenue department by March l next
a detailed statement showing the
amount of their business for the past
year.
The United States Steel corporation
will be the largest contributor to
Uncle Sans Golfers under the per
cent tax. In its report for 1907,
which is regarded as a good indica-
ton of what it's present business is,
its earnings, upon which the tax could
be levied. were $133,244,930. This
figure represents the earnings after
the fixed charges, such as interest on
bonds. were deducted. On basis of
/ per cent the steel corporation would
pay a tax of $1,332,449.
The Standard oil company, with
it's many subsidiary corporations, will
paw the next highest rate. Standard
Oil does not make habit of taking
the public into its confidence and to
arrive at definite conclusion is out
of the question Wall street figures
that the new tax will compel the
Standard to pay 100000.

ations which will beo bliged to pay

Is one of our newer fruits, which is
rapidly becoming popular on account
of its productiveness, its large fruit
and fine quality. The Phenomenal
berry closley resembles the Logan
berry, and is prohtably grown under
the same conditions.
A valuable, but not well-known
recent addition to the blackberry
family is the Lucretia dewberry.
While it is hardy. its trailing habits
make it possible to successfully grow
this plant by giving it winter protec-
tion. where the ordinary blackberry
winter kills. Its early fruiting habit,
productiveness, and ability to thrive
on many soils make it popular as an
orchard filler in many parts of the

that which is due him. He must
meet his fellow neighbors in spirit
of fairness and fraternity, for there
must be unanimity. They must act
together. They must first reach a
common ground reasonable in its de-

The politician will trim his sail to

his neighbors to stand together for
what is honestly due them.

In this issue we are publishing a
lengthy and comprehensive article on
the subject of raising berries in
the Northwest. This article is from
W. S. Thornber. Professor of Horti-
culture at the State College at Pull
man. The article goes into the ques-
ton of soil, tlIlage, drainage and
best varieties to be grown in the Pac-
if1c Northwest. We believe this article
will be of great benefit to berry grow
es and should be cut out and filed for
future reference. In western Wash
lngton, the berry growing industy is
getting to be about as prominent as
apple growing from the Yakima and
Chelan Valleys. There is no country
in the world perhaps, as suitably
adapted to the growing of small fruits
and berries as the western part OF
Washington and Oregon. and an arti-
Gle on the subject coming from this
source should be of great value.

1t is pleasure to notice that the
Pomona Oranges, throughout the state
are taking up the subject of taxation
and legislation in the manner in
which they have. They are not howl
ing for the impossible, nor asking
anything unreasonable, but are de-
handing voice in the expenditure Of
the money which they pay for taxes.
This is a subject which has been too
long neglected. and we hope to see
strong oranges organized which will
agitate this matter until it is settled
and settled right.

Growers

or, and possesses good shipping quail
tiles.
Philadelphia A good early season
variety that can be used for home use,
but the fruit is too small and soft to
be of value for commercial purposes.
Red Antwerp: A we'll known, stand
ard commercial sort, producing large
crops of dark red, fine quality, good
shipping berries. 1t is valuable for
Western Washington conditions, but
rather tender for conditions typical of
eastern Washington. The plants are
subject to root trouble, which neces-
states great care in the selection of
new, clean stock.
Ruby: An almost unknown new
sort, which gives promise of soon be-
coming one of our best commercial
sorts. The plants are strong, hardy
and productive. The fruit is large,
of good quality and color, and ships
we'll.
Among yellow raspberries, the Car
oline has been found to be a "a nix
grower, a good yielder, and hardy
plant, but with fruit rather small
and too soft to be of value; and the
Golden Queen, strong growing,
hardy, yellow fruited sort, producing
good crops of fine, large berries. They
are not popular on account of their
color. Among the black raspberries,
the Gregg Is one of our best and most
popular black sorts. 1t is valuable
for home as we'll as commercial grow
ing. The Kansas is an old, we'll
known variety, but not adapted to
conditions of the Northwest. 1t is
valuable only as an early sort. The
Buchart is comparatively new, un-
known sort which promises to become
very valuable for both home and COM
mercial growing. The Ohio is an old,
well known sort, especially valuable
for canning and evaporating purposes.
While strong and vigorous, it is not
generally productive in Washington,
or under typical conditions.
Among blackberries, we would men
ton the Early Mammoth as an early,
fine, large, richly favored berry. 1t is
rather tender for general planting
but valuable where quality is desired.
The Evergreen is one of our hardest,
most productive and best all around
blackberries. 1t is valuable for COM
mercial as well as home growing pur-
poses. The Himalaya Giant is rather
slightly known, productive, rank
growing, and why. 1t is valuable for
commercial planting west of the Cas-
cade mountains, but too tender for
general planting. The Snyder is an
other of our best and most popular
sorts, valuable for commercial as well
as home purposes. The Logan berry

Support the Grange.

The Grange is the only society or az
sociation whereby the farming COM
munity can act in concert, and thus
insure proper hearing of their de-
mands. The greatest drawback TO
the farming community is It's isola-
ton. Families living at distance of
each other and usually busy, find 1t
hard to keep up the pleasure of meet
ing their fellow neighbors. The
Grange offers the only solution for
farmers to get together and renew
acquaintances; to receive condolences
for their sorrows and congratulations
for their pleasures.
Even valuable as this privilege is,
it sinks into insigniHcance when com
pared with that larger privilege of
binding the community together in
its demands for practical solutions of
necessary questions. Such questions
as the improvement of roads, the
amount of taxes to be paid Of school
facilities and similar questions.
These cannot be settled by mon work
ing individually but it must be by
general expI ession of all interested.
Lodges cannot do this, chul ches can
not do this, politicians fear to do this,
and the Grange offers. the best and
only solution of these questions. The
farming community is the most es-
sential of any community, for with
out the proper cultivation of the soil,
there can be no prosperity. There
has been wonderful uplift amongst
the farmers in the last ten years, and
this uplifC is only beginning. Our
country is rapidly filling up, and
public lands are almost impossible
to obtain. The younger generation
find it hard to obtain land, what will
their children find? They will find
it practically impossible to obtain
land at any price. This fact alone
should teach the young people of the
farm to look with jealous eye upon
the land and consider what the future
will bring forth.
There are many great questions to
be solved by the American people.
The transportation question will never
be solved until it IS managed as a
government affair, the same as the
postotfice is today. Water power
must be kept for the good of the peO
pie at large, and not for the benefit
of a few. There will be no lasting
prosperity until these matters and
many similar, are fought out. The
fight will be a bitter one, but it must
come. The farmers will have larger
part in this settlement than any other
class of laborers. They must be poll
ticians from necessity, If not from
choice. They have been used as a
cats paws by the politicians for many
years simply because of the politica
party feeling, which has been kept
alive by politicians for no other rea-
son than to boost themselves into
office and keep them there in good
paving berths at the taxpayers ex-
pense. But the farmer is getting wise
He sees that the politician cares more
for his own good than he does for that
of the farmer. He knows that taxes
on land must be paid. The city
dweller can in a measure avoid his
taxes. but the farmer knows his land
