savings-Bank bill. and several other
measures for which the Taft admins
tration takes credit. have each def
mite history that goes back much fur
Their than Mr.. Taft's interest in any Of
these subjects 1t was the proper
work Of congress to shape these meas
ures; and it was quite an much within
the province Of such senators as Beve-
ridge. Cummins, Deliver, La Toilette,
Clapp, Nelson, Bristow, and others Of
conviction and high standing in the
Republican party, to urge in their own
and constituents views, as Senators
AIdrich. Hale, Burrows. Lodge, Lori
mer, Penrose, Crane. and their wing
Of the party, to work together for their
own less progressive ideas. The coun-
try was quite willing to let the factions
fight ii out, and saw no reason for
raising question as 70 the good stand
ing within the Republican party Of the
leaders Of either wing. But Mr.. Taft,
by some singular logic, was led to be-
lieye that certain bills as presented
ought to be accepted rather than de-
bated; and he came under the further
delusion that it somehow lay with him
to excommunicate from the party those
whom he chose 10 regard as heterodox.
In religion, Mr.. Taft himself is Uni
tartan; and his heresy-hunting in poll
lies has been as Inconsistent as it has
been a spectacular failure He now
announces that he will not hunt the
hereties any more, but will allow
them to have their share Of the things
he has to distribute.
The mer against whom he has dis
eliminated were the ones who worked
hardest and most Loyalty for his nomi-
nation and election; and nothing in
their subsequent course has been out
Of keeping with the speeches they
made during the Taft campaign two
years ago The so-called federal pat
ronage" that By his own confession Mr.
Taft has been granting and withhold
ing, for political reasons Of his own
shaping, has been no source Of strength
either TO hin or to the agencies through
which he has chosen to dispense it. 1t
is absurd that the appointment Of post
masters and the filling of other federal
Offices. should have been made contin-
gent by Mr. Taft upon the attitude Of
certain senator's toward pending legis-
latiye measures. Nothing could have
been more crude than the proposal to
turn over the Indiana appointments to
the Watson Hemenway organization
unless Senator Beverage would max e
promises about his conduct in the SEN
ate chamber in the course Of his official
duties. 1t was plain to everybody out
side Of the administration itself, and
the immediate benefciaries, that this
plan Of inficting yicarious punishment
upon progressive senators must not
only fail completely, but must react
sharply against its perpetrators. The
insurgents have now been upheld with
exemplary majorities, by the Republi-
cans Of their own states. From "The

Fire Auto
On the Wan

Fire Chief Metz yesterday received
a letter from the manufacturers stat
ing that the combination hose and
chemical automobile, ordered by the
council several months ago, had been
shipped from the factory in Columbus,
Ohio, on January %, and is now on the
road to Walla Walla, where it is ex-
pected to arrive some time next week.
The machine was shipped over the
Baltimore & Ohio and the Canadian
Pacific, and is now in Canada I'm
less blockades occur the auto is
scheduled to arrive in Spokane within
the next few days and is to be brought
to this city over the o. r. & n. line.
Delays almost without number have
occurred since the council placed the
summer, and on several occasions the
council has been asked to extend the
time limit for delivery. The machine
is to be installed in central station on
it's arrival, and a reduction in expen-
ses of the department will be one
of the features of the increased ap-
paratus, it being possible to do away
with at least one team and perhaps
two drivers The average cost of
maintaining the auto as determined in
other cities where the machines are in
use, is considerably less than the feed
bills for one team.
An average of 80 miles an hour
may be maintained in answering fire
alarms, and with the streets in such
condition as at the present time, it
has been found in other places that
the speed can be greatly increased ov-
er that of the horses. Fire Chief
Metz proposes to give the chemical
auto a severe test upon it's arrival,
and exhibition runs are to be given,
with the factory expert at the Whe FL.
1t is expected the apparatus will ar
rive here about a week from today

SANITARY
INSPECTOR
IS INJURED

Sanitary inspector w. G. Gates had
narrow escape from fatal injury
this morning about 1920 O'clock
when he slipped on the concrete steps
leading to ponce headquarters, and
fell, striking his right ear and the
side of his head a terrific blow, which
rendered him unconscious for sever
ell moments. The steps were coated
with ice formed as the melting snow
dropped from the roof of the city hail.
and as Mr.. Gates started to descend,
his feet slipped from under him, pre-
cipitating him violently to the cement
floor, his head striking the lower step
City Health Officer E. E Shaw was
Immediately summoned, and cared for
the severe flesh wound, but it was
some time before the sanitary inspec
tor regained consciousness. DR.. Shaw
pronounced the injury not serious, al
though it is painful. No bones were
broken, and danger of conclusion is
remote Mr. Gates was removed to
his home about noon, and will pro-
badly be unable to be on duty for sew
eral days.

PROFITS OF 70 PER CENT.

After paying a cash dividend of SO
per cent on all of its annual payment
dwelling and farm policies. the North
west Mutual Fire ASSOCIATION OF Sc
attic. during the past year carried IS
per cent of all premiums to cash sur
Mus or undivided profits, making a
total profit of 70 per cent for it's
policy holders on that class of prop
erty. This profit of 70 fpers cent it's
policy holders have made without as
Stunning any assessment liability. as
its policies are absolutely non-as-
sessable and are secured by cash re-
sources of more than five times the
amount needed to pay losses to eX-
piration of all policies as based on
their past nine years experience.

Take Only
u. S. Bonds

WASHINGTON, Feb. Under an
order issued by Secretary MacVeagh,
state, city and railroad bonds will not
be accepted by the treasury depart
ment as security for deposits of public
money in banks after today.
This order is expected to strengthen
the market for United States bonds
through the requirement. for their pur-
chase by banks to be placed against
this class of deposits.
Under an act passed in March, 1907,
the secretary of the treasury is re-
ouired to make annual announcement
of the bonds which will be accepted to
secure deposits by the government.
Banks having bonds deposited as Sc
curity for deposits other than indi-
Gated in the order quoted below will be
required to replace them today. These
will be accepted:
United States, Philippines, Puerto
Rican and District of Columbia bonds
at par. Bonds of Hawaiian territory at
90 per cent of par; bonds of the Philip
pines Railway company at 80 per cent
of market value, but not exceeding 80
per cent of par"

Voters
Get in
Early

More than 300 voters of the
city have qualified with the city clerk
for 1910 elections, and a comparison of
the books with those of last year show
the registration at this time to be ap-
proximately three times greater than
at the same date last year Four cleo
lions are to be held during the pres
ent year, being city and county prima-
ries, and city and county elections
Great interest is being taken at this
time in the coming battle of the bal
lots" and all indications are for an
even larger registration than was pro-
duced by the December local option
election.
City primaries are to be held in June
with the election in July, and county
primaries occur in October, with the
election in November.
