When one borrows trouble he con-
tracts a debt that will have to be
paid. The exactions of worry are
frequently greater than those of
work. The man who can keep cool,
win or lose; the man who can
strengthen up after he drops the
load; the man who can smile at his
wife and play with the babies, al
though uncertain of tomorrow,
stands a good chance in the race.
Worrying hinders and never helps.

At the Shoemakers' picnic the 9TH
er day there were politicians walking
around and shaking hands, but be-
lieve they made mistake. It's too
early yet to talk politics. People out
for an August picnic don't care to
hear about politics. That belongs to
a period some months ahead-E. c.

Mr.. Stocker's Herald says THE
most important question in this state
is to wipe out the machine, and Mr..
Fuerth has always been an anti-ma-
chine man" Like most of the edi-
tOrials and communications that ap-
pear in the Herald, this statement is
a sugar-coated pill for the voters.
Some may swallow it; but they will
find it will operate just the same as
any old bitter pill. There is no DEM
ocratic representative in Pennsylva-
MIA more closely allied with the Cuff
fey machine than Mr.. Fuerth. Those
now crying out against machine
rule" also declare the Penrose and
Guffey machines are one and the
same, the latter being simply the tail
which fans the hot air for the more
important body.

Wallistreet is not quite sure wheth-
er the transcontinental railroad
scheme which recently collapsed was
a tragedy or a farce. There was a
little of both in the affair. The Pear
son syndicate is supposed to have
been separated from $1O,OOO,OOO or
$12,000,000 real money. That is
tragic. 1t was guided to a large ex-
tent by an individual other than
Pearson, who but a decade ago was
looked upon as soldier of fortune,
and yet who sufficiently recouped
himself in nerve and credit mean
time to set bigger and presumably
more astute Napoleons of finance by
the ears. This is simply farcical.-

If honesty is the best policy"
which we do not for one moment
question, 1t is clear that very
large number of storekeepers in this
country do not practice it. Weights
and measures inspectors in many
cities find wellnigh countless meas
ures of which the bottom is too
near the top, scales that do not bal
ance, and weights that go only to
twelve and fourteen ounces to the
pound. What that false trading
costs people, the poor in particular,
may we'll be imagined. With hosts
of people it is a constant struggle
to exist and that struggle is all the
more difficult when they are depriv-
ed of their just return for money
paid, and which money has been
earned by hard labor.-Lancaster

Whitman Now in Debt.

In 1909 the assessed valuation of
the county was but $12,945,675, and
the levy for county and state pur-
poses was but l mill more than in
1909, with a valuation of $24,S59,-
6O4, or nearly double what it was
five years before. The total revenue
produced for state and county taxes
in 1904 was $258,913, while in 1909
it had increased to s472,253, a net
increase of $213,340.1O, or more
than so per cent.
Despite this vastly increased rev.
enue the county is in debt and Is
again issuing warrants, which are
being carried by the banks because
the county treasurer has no funds
with which they may be paid. Col
fax banks are carrying large amounts
Of these warrants, which are bearing
interest. In 1900 the county had a
bonded debt of 100000, which has
been paid off, but since the liquida-
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1910-12-30
ton of that debt taxes have shown
a steady increase.

ColfaX, Wash, Dec. 2S.-W. M.
er-elect, says an error was made in
the report of the taxes collected for
Whitman county in 1909, in that no
mention was made of a portion of
this being for school purposes. Mr..
Duncan said:
THE 1909 law requires the county
to levy sufficient tax to produce $40
for each school child and this partly
/ accounts for the big levy of 1909. 1t
required 4.25 mills tax to produce
| this amount, which is about $780,
| 900, being based on a school popula-
ton of more than 10000, and suffi-
| ficient tax to raise this levy. This
is in addition to whatever special tax
each district may levy for its own
purposes. A levy for special school
purposes is made in many of the
districts"
Inspection of the report of the as
SCISSOR or auditor this year shows a
startling increase in the valuation of
property in Whitman county, more
than so per cent over that of last
year The total valuation of all
property in the county, as returned
by the assessor for 1909, was $24,-
$4,000, but the value for 1910
i,,,,,rod ,,,oro tbop e. o O00 0nO or
more than so per cent, and reaches
$37,881,856. The increase of more
than $13,000,000 is more than che
total assessed value of all property
in the county in 1904, when it was
placed at $12,945,675.
Under the levy fixed by the COM
missioners this will produce a rev.
evnue for state and county purposes
of $454,5S2. In addition to this is
the road district, school district and
municipal taxes. The road district
taxes amount to 8 mills in every dis
trict but No. 1, which has a 4mill
tax. The special school district tax
runs to II mills in Pullman and 20
mills each in ColfaX and Palouse.
The municipal tax runs as high as
25 mills in some of the towns. Pull
man has a tax of 25 mills, II school
district and 10 county and state,
making q total OF 81 mills for 1909.
On the increased valuation the levy
will be less.

TAXES ON THE INCREASE
Farmers Protest at Increased ASS.
cssments-County in Debt and
Banks Carrying Warrants.

ColfaX, Wash, Dec. 26.-Protests
registered by farmers because of the
high taxes in Whitman county have
foundation, as shown by study of
the assessments Of property during
the last seven years, when the taxes
of Whitman county have nearly
doubled, despite the fact that the
bonded debt has been paid off and
the county is not paying interest. In
1903 the county had bonded debt
of $4,000, on which it was paying
5 per cent interest, but this was paid
off when it was expected that taxes
would be reduced. Taxes have been
steadily increasing until in 1909 the
people of this county paid almost
double the amount of taxes in 1903,
when the county was in debt $751;
600.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1910-12-30
In 1908, Value $13, 445, 800.

In 1903 the valuation of all prop
erty in Whitman county was fixed by
the assessor at $13, 445,320, and the
total tax levy for state and county
expenses was 20 mills, divided as fol-
lows; State levy, 20 mills, which
produced a revenue for the state of
$120,S73.42; county levy, 11.01
mills, which produced a revenue for
county expenses of $148,032. In
1904 the total assessable wealth of
the county was only $12, 945,675, or
about 100000 less than the pre-
vious year.
The state levy was increased to
9.247, and produced $119,72S.66;
while the county levy was reduced to
1878 mills, and produced $780,
204.84.

Tax Records i'm 1909

The year 1909 broke all previous
records. The assessed valuation
was raised more than $4,000, 900
and the levy was raised 4 mills. On
total valuation of $24,S59,6O4 the
state levy was 88063 mills, and rails
ed $21S,921, while the county levy
was 0,1937 mills, and produced the
unprecedented revenue of $253,332,
making a total revenue for state and
county purposes of $472,253 paid by
the people of Whitman county for
one year. This is exclusive of road
district, schol district and municipal
taxes and represents only the taxes
paid for maintaining the county and
state governments.

Raises Values in 1907.

In 1907 the assessor raised values
of property to $28,589,411, and the
levy was raised to l 6 mills, and pro-
duced a revenue for state and county
purposes of $372,494, the greatest
amount ever paid by the taxpayers Of
Whitman county, except for 1909,
when all records were again broken.
In 1907 the state levy was larger
than the county levy, being 8.293,
and produced $193,O68, while the
county levy was 1907 mills, and pro-
duced $179,526. In 1908 both levy
and values were reduced, the former
being % mills and the latter $21,-
1882, a reduction of more than
S7,000,000 from the valuation of the
preceding year. The state levy was
6.506 mills, and produced $139,537,
while the county levy of 1854 mills
produced $187197, the greatest
amount of taxes ever paid to the
county.

Valuation Grows in 1905

In 1905 the valuation had increas-
ed to $13,SSO,920, and the state levy
was fixed at 9.O46, and produced a
revenue of $125,556, and the county
levy was 11.954, and produced $685.
932. This made a total levy of 81
mills, as against 20 for state and
county purposes the two preceding
years.
In 1906 the valuation of all prop
erty for taxation purposes had been
raised to $22,127,O10, an increase of
more than 100000 in one year,
but the total levy was reduced from
81 to Is mills, which produced $40.
500 more revenue for state and coun-
ty than the previous year. This
year the state levy was only 6.993
mills, but produced $154,734, while
the county levy was 8.007 mills, and

With the elaborate references to-
the apparent implication in pre-
yious paper that General Merritt
and Admiral Dewey might have
knowingly violated the armistice in
their capture of Manila a few hours
after it's signature, and with the new
remarks about Admiral Dewey's
draconian orden, the spontaneous
ness Of his kind feelings, and other
and similar phases we do not oc-
cupy ourselves nor with the obJe-
tions to our use Of the word lied IN
describing the escape Of the spa
nish General before the surrender.
We are entirely content on these
points with the record. For the sa-
me reason we pass without comment
the remark concerning the claim
for indemnity con similar grounds"
in the Philippines that 'on first
sight this argument is not wanting
in force; but the American Commls-
sioners know perfectly we'll that thus
is only apparent, and that what did
occur proves absolutely the contra
ry''. We interpret this apparent
charge of intentional deceit IN the
light of the valued assurance gwen
in another part Of the same paper
by the Spanish Commissioners when
they, themselves, admit that mo Ian
guage or even phrase improper to
