COMING, THE INCOME TAX.

The passage by a unanimous vote of the
United States Senate, of a proposition to submit
an amendment to the United States Constitution
that will permit the levy of an income tax, marks
a long step of progress by that slowly progressive
body For years it has been the contention of
organized producers of weaIh-the farmers and
the laborers-that taxation should rest more fully
than at present on other items than the means
of sustenance and the homes of the people. There
are others who enjoy the protection and benefits
of government who should likewise share it's
burdens.
This action on the part of the Senate is not
altogether voluntary, but circumstances have
conspired to compel attention to the income tax
as a source of revenue. The recent panic-like
public revenues because of lessened importations
decreased consumption of the home products sub
ject to taxation for internal revenue. Another
prominent factor has been the greatly increased
led by foreign countries against the products of
the United States and which is compelling many
notifications and reductions part in our
foreign commerce.
The proposal by President Taft to levy a tax
corporations sensible move, but 1t was
incomplete The corporations derive many bene-
fits from the administration of governmental
functions and should bear corresponding part
of it's burdens, but there are Others" and some
of these are neither producers of visible wealth
nor engaged in commercial enterprises, although
they divert large sums into their capacious cof-
fers Such persons can be reached by income
tax and should thus share in the public burden

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The National holiday has again passed by in the
of its annual recurrence in the regular
series of events. So long has this occurred, and
so far are we removed from the important events
that gave it BIRTH that now give little thought
to cause or result. In earlier years the Declara-
ton of independence was kept before the people
by an annual reading at the gatherings for cele
brating the holiday of late the interposition OF
other important events has served to relax our
vigilant observation of the practice.
The Declaration of Independence has been
often copied in print and is a familiar document
with those who have made any progress In the
study of civil government in our public schools
But of the original document there were no dupll-
Gates made, and it is now seldom seen and by
few 1t was exhibited in Independence Hall.
where it was signed; at Philadelphia during the
Centennial Exposition in 1876, and there 1t was
seen by the writer. Soon after this, owing TO It's
frail condition, it was placed between two plates
of glass in drawer of a large steel case in the
Department of State at Washington in which 1T
is now kept locked and sealed. The original copy
of the United States Constitution is similarly pre-
served in the same safe manner

FIRE INSURANCE COST.

According to the preliminary report of Insur-
ance Commissioner Schively Washington people
paid out 498 insurance premiums during
the year 1908 and in the same period the COM
panies paid losses in the state of but $4629,S3S
These figures are made up from the annual reports
submitted to the department by the companies
doing business here. More than 1914 900 of
insurance was written during the year exclusive
of accident, surety fidelity and indemnity liability
and casualty, health, burglary, plate glass, live
stock and steam boiler insurance
In other states it has also been found that in
surance costs at the rate of 81 in many cases.
To reduce this excessive cost cooperative insur
ance has been extensively organized. Farmers
have been prominent in developing this line of in
surance, and the Grange has adopted it as one OF
the practical lines for its cooperative effort Con-
corning the progress of the work in this state the
address of Master G. B. Kegley at the recent ses
sion of the State Grange at Ellensburg says
'"The year 190S-9 has marked the most rapid
progress of any in the history of association.
We are carrying more than double the policies and
risks in force two years ago. During the past
year no assessment has been levied and our treas
ury shows good balance yet, subject to drafts
to pay losses. 1t has been the policy of the pres
ent Board of Directors to conserve the interests
of the association and while using every effort to
increase the membership of the association, 1t
has been ever mindful that the first duty is to the
parent organization. Our Secretary, }. o. wing,
has proven his loyalty to the Grange, and his
ability to cooperate with your officers IN every
undertaking. And in his work OF building up the
fire insurance he has been mindful of it's in
auence on extension work and the Strengthening
of the order In this way the fire insurance asso-
citation has been made a great factor III Orange
extension in this State
"Our fire insurance is not organized to make
profit or to declare dividends, but to save money
for the insured. We have the cheapest satest ana
best insurance in the State. The cost per year
for CARRYING $1,000 Insurance. for the past ten years
has been below one dollar. The increase OF bust
ness now requires the Secretary to give practically
all his time to the duties of his Office"

THE HAPPY HARVEST TIME.

prosperity crutcheS when crops go
wrong."-National Crop Exposition motto.
That great grain growing district of the Pacific
Northwest known the Inland Empire is enter
ing the glad harvest time. 1t is the season
when Ceres reigns triumphant and dispenses with
lavish hand to the votary at her shrine the frui-
ton of his fond hopes
And such harvest! Grain offices throughout
the grain producing portions of Washington are
exhibiting samples of barley and wheat, both in
tho head and the stalk never before equaed
in the history of farming. The excellent quality
of the grain is not confined to any particular local
tiles, but is general over Eastern Washington and
Oregon and Western Idaho.
Four conditions have combined to produce this
enormous grain CROP unusually large acreage,
heavy stand due to cool weather this spring. large
acreage of fallsown grain producing heavier, and
SeaSOnable moisture with other climatic access
cries.
The abundant crop will be a revelation to the
many visitors from the Eastern states they
pass by their way to the A-Y-P. Exposition,
stop their way to investigate the pOssibili-
ties and opportunities of the Pacific Northwest.
Many visitor will tarry awhile and change the
investigate to invest-in a-hOme.
Not all of these are farmers. The West has
devirsifed labor system as the East. All
sorts of activities are seen in even the newest
of the states. The with any kind of useful
vocation usually find field in all localities
in the United States which have been settled for
half a dozen years, except in the crudest of min
ing camps But agriculture is still one of the
country's most important interests 1t is the
interest on which prosperity of the West was
originally based Therefore a large portion of the
new settlers which the region west of the Missis-
sipp is receiving in 1909 are tillers of the SOIL
The old of free lands for the landless man
has nearly ended in the United States. Uncle
Sam is no longer rich enough to give us all a
farm. Some land under the homestead act of
1862 is still taken up every year. But the quarter
sections which desirable, and which are given
away under that act for the cost of the surveying
are nearly all gone. They are chiefly confined to
the arid region, and often require irrigation to
make them productive. The irrigation act of 1902
is doing it's work upon some of these lands, but
in general, it is done by the persons who acquire
the land Other tracts are being tested by arid
farming methods.
