This is an example of one OF many
cases that consult the doctor every
day at his office in the Hotel State
and he is no doubt one of the busiest
men in Walla Walla.

of the assessments levied by the Mu-

which had failed after referring to
the fact that the policies contained a
clause which stated that the pre-

policy holders had been assessed. re-

WHO PAYS THE BILL?

Who pays the bill for the annony-
nous advertisements attacking mu-
tual insurance?
If these advertisements state facts
why does the author not sign his
statements?
Are these advertisements to protect
people against little disreputable
/ fake like the Pacific. Fire which 1t
refers to and which never did any
business worth while, or to intimi-
date the public against insuring in
such reliable institutions as the
| Northwestern Mutual Fire associa-
| ton, which gained more business in
| this state last year than all the III
stock companies doing business?
! Is it because he fears the North
| western is not going to be able to
| meet its losses and expenses, or is he
| worried because it's accumulated cash
resources will care for it's losses for
longer period than the average
| stock company?
| Is it because there is liability at
| tached to some assessment fire mu-
tUals, or because he is worried over
J the fact that there is no assessment
| liability on the Northwestern's cash
| policies and that this is causing him
a lack of victims?

getting some Of the $16,00000 which
the Northwestern is saving its pol

| Is it because he is afraid that the
| Northwestern will not pay it's losses
promptly, or because he is worried
| over the fact that it has paid more
than 1900 losses in less than three
days after receipt of proof?
Is it because he thinks such COM
panies are likely to fail, or because
he cannot point to a single instance
| in the history of the United States
where a man has ever lost a single
do lar by insuring in a mutual COM
pany after it has attained the
strength Of the Northwestern Mutual
Fire association, while such COM
panies have saved their policy hold q

Is nothing in the state law to pro- |
hibit it, but he should bear in mind |
that the action of receiver i'll ask
ing a policy holder to pay an assess
ment is not a court decision. He
should so bear in mind that there /
is the same difference between the i
policy of an assessment fire mutual

by the New York Life and an assess

LAND TAXATION IN GREAT
BRITAIN.

The British parliament is now busi-
~ at work celebrating a plan to re-
value and adequately tax all the land
of the Uniteo Kingdom. Unlike the
American land owners, the British
land owners have hitherto escaped their
prupOrtionate share of taxation.
This was due in the first place, to
the paramount influence of what were
called the upper classes. who sue
ceeded in gaining practical monopoly
of the land after the Norman conquest
and have been able to direct taxation
upon other objects. The new movement
is a testimony to the growing power
of democracy in the ancient monorchy.
Many noblemen who have vast hold
ings in the cities which have over
grown their estates, and who hold
thousands of acres for deer parks,
lawns and hunting preserves. have es-
capped with comparatively very light
taxation. But when the new system
goes into effect the burden OF their
taxes may prompt them to cut up their
ornamental and unused land into
farms.
This would help materially to solve
the food problem of the tight little ISL
and. The British islands will prob
ably always have to import consid-
cradle portion of their food. but with
the land area that they possess more
generally cultivated. they would com.
much nearer to being self-sustaining.
In the United States, when a rich
man like Rockefeller or Hartman has
desired to create q vast landed estate
for his own pleasure. he has gone into
the market and bought up the land.
and the assessors have assessed it just
as they did when it was in the hand
of the mall owner. If the assessors have
made any difference. they have in
creased the assessed valuation.
But in England. William the Con-
queror parceled out the land among
his followers, who held it for the most
part subject only to military duty to
the crown. In subsequent ages the land
changed hands by confiScation and
gifts to new favorites by various kings
and some times by purchase of the
freehold right, but the government ex-
chequer did not profit by the change.
The landed gentry have been the
most privileged in the kingdom. but
their days of rioting in clover are
nearly ended. In the future they will

An area of low pressure of consid-
cradle energy passed through the west
ern Canadian provinces since yester-
day and is now central north of Mon
tana. 1t is being followed by a strong
area of high pressure now off the
Washington Oregon coast. The pas
sage of the low area caused showers on
the Washington coast and on Puget
Sound. but clear skies are now again
prevailing on the Pacific slope. Over
the remainder of the United States fair
weather has prevailed under the in

that he contributed to his own injury
as it was impossible for the defendant
to operate his machine either forward
or backward, due to distractions in
the form of vehicle, thereby causing
the injury resulting.
The testimony of DIR. Smith was to
the effect that he had acknowledged
breaking the light of DIR. Fales machine
and offered to adjust damages, though
he did not consider that he was to
blame He stated that he preferred to
settle the matter amicably than have
any undue publicity. 1t was also set
up by the defendant that DR.. Fales
was unlawfully on the street in that he
had not complied with the laws of the
state of Washington which provides:
THAT no automobile shall be used on
any public street until the owner shall
procure license and display the num-
Der on the back of the machine"
A certificate from the secretary of
state was introduced to the effect that
DR.. Fales had never procured such IL
cense and it was contended by At
torney Smith that the same care was
not incumbent upon one towards a
person wrongfully and unlawfully on
highway or street that devolved upon
him toward one lawfully on a
thOrOughfare.
The court decided that the plaintiff
contributed to his injury and that the
defendant had used such care as an or
binary man would use under the cir
cumstances, and the case was dis
missed.
