AFFIRMS
 WADDELL CASE

ne SuplSluG COult yColSlddy renderee a decision affirming the judgment of the Faulkner circuit court ill the case of the City of Conway against Charles w. Wad- dell, book peddler who was fined in the mayors court here last sum mer. The court upholds the right of the city to enact such ordinances but holds that the amount of license required in the Conway ordinance is excessive.
 A synopsis of the opinion, which was rendered by Justice Wood, is given below;
 Chas. w. Waddell was charged with the offense of selling articles and books in public place in the city of Conway without having a license therefor" and was con- victed i'll the mayors court. On appeal to the circuit court, the or dinanCe under which he was con- viCted was held void. The city appeals to this court, and the in- quiry is as to the validity of the ordinance.
 The ordinance in question is en- titled An Ordinance to Regulate and License Street Peddling, etc., and provides that 1t shall be un- lawful to sell or attempt to sell, peddle or attempt to peddle, any goods, wares, merchandise, etc, without first obtaining license therefor from the city of Conway, for which fee of S25 per day is fixed. A violation of the ordi- nance, is made a misdemeanor, punishable by fine.
 Cities and incorporated towns have power, under section 543S, Kirby's Digest, to license, fegu- late, tax or suppress hawkers, ped dlers, etc. The evidence shows that appellee was a peddler within the meaning of this statute and ordi- nance. The express language of the ordinance shows that its pur- pose is, not to suppress peddling, but to regulate and license" it; and the tax of S25 per day is man. ifestly for the purpose of both reg ulation and revenue.
 It is inconceivable that it would require the sum of S25 per day to reimburse the city for the expense of issuing the license and an ef. ficient police surveillance of the business; and the amount is still unreasonable when, in addition to the above, it is considered as tax for the purpose of raising revenue for the city. This court has held that in considering such ordin- ances the fees required therein will be presumed to be reasonable un- less the contrary appears on the face of the ordinance or is estab- lished by proper evidence. In the present case, however, the or dinance is void on its face. Con- sidered as ordinance to license and to tax for regulation and revenue, and as such it must be considered, , the fee of S25 per day is plainly unreasonable, and no presumptions as to its reasonableness can be in- dulged in. Judgment affirmed.

THE county engineer, over signed
report to the commissioners, says: ~
have examined and approved the Okla
hogan steel bridge at Okanogan, and
in regard to the same | wish to state
that | DID NOT APPROVE THE WORK
AS A BRIDGE, but do approve the work
manship." Which goes to show that
the taxes wrung from the people If not
misappropriated have been used with
very little judgment. No reasonable
person can object to bridging the Okla
hogan river, and there are several
places on that stream where bridges
would be a great convenience, but half
the money spent would have built a
bridge at the town of Okanogan that
would have answered all purposes for
% years, or more. This paper does not
object to bridges, let it be understood,
and has high admiration for the COM
munity that has the dash and spirit to
do the county for large sum for pub
lie improvements, yet there are por-
tions of the county, probably too back
ward and modest in their demands,
/ that are suffering on account of lack of
bridges and the miserable condition of
the roads, that must continue to suffer
because large share of the road funds
are devoted to favored localities There
should be some equity and fairness in
the distribution of the moneys paid in
for road improvements. 1t is true the
publc-spirited citizens of Okanogan
contributed literally toward the bridge,
but they did so in the expectation of
returns many fold by the increase of
values in adjacent real estate. The
donation was not made for charity, nor
through love tor the balance of the
county, there was self-interest behind
it. Okanogan, however, has been no
more favored than the Methow valley,
in the matter of county aid. And it is
not because of the fact that bridge
was built at Okanogan that any fault
can be found, but the pitiful situation
made public by the engineers report
that for all the money spent there is
something in return that Cannot be APP
proved as the structure promised in re-
turn for the heavy disbursements.

THE republican papers of eastern
Washington that are supporting Poin-
dexter in his 'ill-weav'd ambition
go on record as opponents and enemies
of Senator Wesley T.. Jones, ~ne Of the

yet had in the upper house of congress.
If by any chance PoindeXter should
win that would shelve Mr.. Jones, and

THIRTY MEN SHOOTIHG ON
 RIFLE RANGE
Chairman ]. E. Curry of the Rifle Committee Submits a Report 10 the Board of Directors

Chairman J. F. Curry. of the rifle committee Of the Country Club. mado the following report at the last meet ing of the directors. The rifle team has been among the most faithful to practice of any of the inner organi. zations of the club and has attracted attention from shooters in all parts or the United States by the uniform high percentage of it's scores. The report makes interesting reading: Your rifle committee wish to re- port that at the present time we have about thirty active shooters upon the rife range. Interest in the sport is reviving and while but few names have been added lately to the rifle club membership, attendance is, nevertheless. increasing. If practice continues at the rate already estab- fird over the range will exceed by far that of any other civilian rifle club in the United States.
 We have under way the installation of new and up-to-date target carriers
 in the 500 and 1o00-yard pits, an ab- soiute necessity in order to continue practice and pull of matches. These carriers when completed will cost in the neighborhood of s150. Telephone connection between the firing line and the pits is also being considered to cost about S100 and will be in- stalled as soon as funds are avail able to carry on the work
 The Rife Club has a small income from members who are not Country Club members, but entitled to mem bership in the Rifle Club under the regulations governing all National Rife Associations.
 In return for building the range and making rife practice a sport of the Country Club without the pay ment of dues other than to the Coun- try Club. As the attendance on the rife range is 90 per cent Country Club members the Rife Clubs source of income from membership might be considered almost nil h. asmuch as the range and equipment lis the property of the Country Club and 90 per cent of the attendance Counry Club members, and inasmuch as new equipment is being added with little assistance from the Coun- try Club. your committee feels that it is not too much to ask further fin .ancial support of you, the directors, as well as the united effort of our entire membership to make more attractive that branch of sport which has already added considerably to the popularity of the Warren Dis tTict Country Club.
