Mr.. Moon has just returned from
Columbia, where he has personally
investigated conditions in company
with a party of high government Of
ficials. Mr.. Moon has examined and
can speak personally, upon the char
acter of the soil and country where
he will advise Walla Walla people to
place investments, and he gives it as
his opinion that there is no other
place on the continent of North
America where there will be so much
money made within the next few
years as will be made in northern
British Columbia. He has personally
invested hundreds of thousands of
dollars there for himself and his as
SOciateS.
Il made an extended trip through
out the different sections of the
United States, last fall" said Mr..
Moon, for the single purpose Of in
vestigating conditions from the stand
point of agricultural development,
with a view to the interests of my
associates, Mr. r. S. King and Mr. A.
d. SemOn, mining men of Nevada
and Alaska, respectively, and myself.
We were already interested in Brit
iSh Columbia, but we were not quite
certain as to whether we might not
sell out there and place our invest
ments somewhere else to advantage.
1t did not take me long to decide,
however, that the one place was

In the awakening south, Mr. Moon
says they are accomplishing great
things: the middle west is full of
activity, but values are almost at
their intrinsic level; our own north
west he, of course believes in thor

the next year the center of the great
est development in the history of
North America, will be in the farm
ing regions north of Vancouver and
east of Prince Rupert, B. G.
Mr. Moon is an officer of the r. S.
King company, of Seattle, of which r.
S. King is president, and A. D. Semon
is secretary. The r. S. King COM
pany created a great deal of comment
in financial circles a few weeks ago
by buying bodily the town of Othel-
10, on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Puget Sound railroad, for a sum adj
mitted to be in excess of a million

NEW YORK FRANCHISE DECISION

The franchise tax law of New York
has been passed on SO often in its
various aspects by the court of appeals
that most of those who have followed
the subject distrusted the newspaper
report that the law had been sustained
in every particular, and that the state
could now collect at once the thirty
odd millions of delinquent taxes held
up by litigation.
This is not quite true, though it APP
pears that the court, in the case of
water company in Long Island sub
tions to the tax so far brought forward
by the public service corporations. This
leaves the companies only the recourse
of resisting the assessment of their
property as excessive, and opens the
way to a compromise as to delinquent
and an adjustment as to future taxes
On that point the court holds the as
sessment of franchises and other prop
erty by the state tax commissioners to
be presumptively correct. with the bur-
den of proof of error on the companies.
This confirms a previous decision in
a New York case, in which the manner
of the assessment prescribed by the
law was sustained. The court has now
held twice that franchises can be
justly assessed for taxation, and once
that the state assessment is prima facie
a just valuation.
Every state is interested, whether or
not it proposes a special franchise
tax, in what the court of greatest au-
thority in the country next to the fed
eral supreme court prOnounces a just
of which public franchises form part
We take the statement of the rule from
an explanation Of the effect of the
recent and former decisions made by
one of the corporation counsel of New
York.
Briefly the intangible franchise anC
the tangible property connected ant
used with it may be assessed, separ-
ately from independent tangible prop
erty, upon it's earning capacity, under
reasonably prudent management, the &C.

sumptive evidence, but this assess.
ment must be equalized to conform t.
the general rule for the assessment O

the principle seems firmly established

WRONGS AND THE REMEDY

An eloquent clergyman in a recent
sermon against the current evils of the
day. followed the fashion of number
of conspicuous agitators, and attribut-
ed the evils largely to lack of efficiency
in legislators and executives 'The
American people are a nation of cow
ards" he exclaimed, because crime is
not more promptly exposed and pun
ished.
Such a remark as this naturally
grows out of the idea that a statute is
panacea, and that all that the men
elected to office OF responsibility have
to do is to fiercely assail wrongdoers
and fetch them up with round turn
in the courts. This, however, is more
easily. said than done. The nation and
the states have in recent years enacted
innumerable statutes directed against
all sinners, including rich malefac-
tors, in the attempt to cure abuses.

SHIP SUBSIDIES AND PROTECTION

Ship subsidies are only another form
of protection to industries that cannot
be reached by tariff duties. Ships en-
gagged in our coasting trade are pro-
tected as completely as manufacturing
plants on land. Safeguarded from
foreign competition, they can exact
two prices from domestic consumers
This cannot be done with ships in the
foreign trade because foreign ships
stand ready to carry goods for one
price.
From one point of view refusal to
substitute American ships in the foreign
trade is a shocking discrimination
against one industry While every 9TH
wealth and power in the United States
is permitted to exact two prices from
the American consumer, why should
not the great steamship corporations
be granted the same privilege? And
if it is impossible to grant it to them
by any shift or twist of the protective
system, why should not the lost be
made up to them out of the treasury
Of the United States?
The only difference is that between
direct and indirect taxation. The land
industries are given the power them
selves to take tribute from the con-
sumner Since this power cannot pos
sibly be given to American vessels in
the foreign trade, why should not the
government, through its power of tax
alton, take the tribute from all the
people and turn it over to the steam
ship companies?
Then these could afford to take the
freight of Americans as cheaply as
| foreign ships carry it. The shippers
| would gain nothing, but the steam
ship companies would pile up fortunes
| like those piled up under the beneficent
shadow of protection by the iron and
/ steel. cotton and wooden and other fav-
ored Industries of the country.
! We suspect that the only reason why
this was not done long ago is the
| shamelessness of direct subsidy paid
by the people to enrich monopolies as
! compared with the delicately yelled
| indirection of the protective tariff. The
ship subsidy is no more a tax on the
many for the benefit of the few than
our present protective tariff. But il
is possible that the beneficiaries OF
protection themselves shrink from
proof of it.

stitutional monarchy, really ruled by
council of powerful statesmen, like the
Wing lords of the second English revo-
luton, who advise the emperor, direct
the ministry and control the parlia-
ment.
Prince Ito was only one of these,
most conspicuous by his personal gifts
and special service in Korea. This
drew upon him the honor of martyr
dom for the nation but did not leave
the nation without servants as wise
and faithful. The policy he executed
was not his, but was formed by body
of sagacious men, supported by public
opinion, who survive him and will find
another instrument. 1t is not likely
that the policy of Japan on the main
land will be changed by the dotting of
an by his taking off.
That policy is developing clearly
enough to be understood by all who
know a little of the law of national
growth and the conditions of modern
life. Like Germany, Japan is over
crowded and must find outlet for sur
plus population, labor and industrial
skill. Unlike Germany, her people are
not welcome everywhere as immigrants
whether laborers or traders. Only the
continent of Asia is the bridge over
which they are going to pass.
This is so clear a decree of destiny
that the nations are accepting it in the
order of their wisdom and opportunity
to realize the situation. England was
the first The unwritten clause of the
treaty of alliance recognized the mis-
sion of Japan in Asia. Other European
powers that have exchanged mutual
guarantees understand more or less
fully that the Japan they are dealing
with is more than the island empire.
Russia is so convinced that the main
object of Ito's journey to Hardin is
said to have been completion of the
of the whole Manchurian
railway by purchase from the Russian
government. Only the United States
seems blind to the necessities of the
situation.

There has certainly been no lack of
courage in the denunciation of all
kinds of crime, or on the part of con-
gress and state legislatures in framing
drastic laws. For seven years there
was in the executive chair of the ma
ton a man who certainly did not lack
courage, and his bold and aggressive
course found plenty of imitators among
state governors. A more energetic pub
lie sentiment has been created. There
is more sensitive pride conscience;
but there are still sufficient wrongs to
draw the denunciation of the pulpit
and press.
We do not suppose the clergyman
actually meant it when he denounced
the American people as nation of
towards The American people have
given too many proofs of heroic cour
age when brought face to face with
crises that demanded it. 1t is not to be
doubted that they will give such proofs
many times in the future. But the
evils mostly complained of cannot be
uprooted by legislation.
They must be eradicated by indi-
vidual effort; by patient teaching, by
the regeneration of the individual. The
pulpit is right to be outspoken. Much

ELLENSBURG, Nov. 5.-Four ordi-
nances restricting and regulating the
saloon business in Ellensburg were
passed in rapid succession by the city
council tonight Billiard halls and
cigar stores were also put under the
ban. Ed Birn, proprietor of the Palace
saloon, was denied a renewal of his IL

liquor to a minor. An attempt was
made by Jesse Hunt, another saloon
man, to obtain a license to operate
bar in the Palace building, but his APP

was made by Flummerfelt to restrict
the number of saloons in the city to
eleven. The motion was seconded and
put into the form of an ordinance and
carried.
An ordinance regulating saloons,
billiard halls, cigar stores and to close
them at II o'clock and not open until
