REPEAL STATE AID ROAD
LAW
Convention of County Commits.
sioners of This State Declare
Against Present Law

North Yakima, Wash, Feb. IS.
THAT the present state aid law
is expensive and inefficient and
should be repealed, was the sense
of the state convention Of county
commissioners, which closed its
annual meeting here today. 1t was
recommended that road work be
placed entirely in the hands of
county commissioners and county
engineers. The plan suggested was
for each county to create a sink
ing fund for road work. this mon
ely to be invested in county
or school warrants until it reaches
a definite amount. at which time
the commissioners are to eXpend it
in such road work as is needed in
their county, They urged the re
enactment Of the present state
law. Other recommended
tons by the convention were that
the district road improvement law
be amended to enlarge districts
and to give each district power to
bond itself in a sum not to exceed
> per cent Of it's valuation for i'm
proyement work. that county com
misSionerS be placed ON salary and
that their term Of office as well
az that Of other county officers be
not restricted. They also recon-
mended that an annual levy be
made not to exceed one mill for
construction and maintenance Of
ro..iS. and that Ills work =
placed in the hands Of the com
missionerS and county engineer
jointly, instead Of the engineer
alone. as at present. The commits
sioners recommended a raise in
salary for assessor,
Officers elected today were A.
NJ. Blaker, Clarke county, presi-
dent; G. NJ. Lauridsen, Clallam,
vice president; G. l.. Bulard, see
rotary. The next convention will
be at Vancouver, January II,

doubled, it makes taxes a burden
hard to bear.
The charge is made by those who
favor saloons that the high taxes is
due to the fact that Pullman is dry"
and gets no revenue from the saloons
Be that as it may, it is certain that
many are now paying taxes who nev-
AZ paid taxes direct to the city, coun-
~, state or school district. because
their earnings went into the saloons
and helped to pay not only the $4,000
paid to the city in licenses. but the
$4,000 or $4,000 net profits which
vent to the saloon keepers each year.
There is no doubt that taxes are
entirely too high. There is no lust
reason why they should be so high.
1t is the direct result of mismanage-
ment either in state. county, CITY or
school affairs and it can be rene
lied. Not until these affairs are CON
iucted with the same care and bust
ness ability and Judgment that would
be given to private business will
taxes cease to be unnecessarily high.
The state aid road tax and other
gratis which are assuming gigantic
proportions have much to do with
he high rate Of taxation. for money
has been spent like water for politi-
cal purposes and the state aid road
law is nothing but a graft.
County Assessor English is being
blamed by many for the high rate
of taxes and complaints are being
made and backed by evidence to show
that assessments were arbitrarily
raised in the assessors office after
they had been turned in by the dep
uty assessor, People are already be-
ginning to howl for a change in the
assessors office and that howl is
likely to grow louder and stronger
as taxes are paid during the ,ar.

The Raise in Taxes

Have you paid your personal
taxes yet? Amt it awful?" These
>>kauestions are frequently heard on
the streets of Pullman and other
whitman county towns. That taxes
are awful this year is fact that
cannot be denied. They are nearly
double what they were last year for
both assessment and valuation have
been raised The tax paid by Pullman
Property owners is 81 mills on the
dollar, or 6.1 per cent on a basis
supposed to be 60 per cent of the
actual value of the property This is
at the rate of SO per cent on the ac-
tual value. The levy for state and
county taxes is 10 mills for school
purposes, a mills, and for city pur-
poses 25 mills. This is the highest
levy ever made here and the valua-
ton of property having been about

Regarding the boat equipment
of the Coos Bay Lifesaying station
it has been shown above that all
of the boats there are in good con

ance with the act Of May 27, 1903.
After the close of the exposition
it was directed that the boat be
sent 0 the Coos Bay Lifesaying

The district superintendent re
ported by telegram Of December

Johnson Should Stay Out

Word comes from Yakima county
that Lee A. Johnson, member of the
hoard of regents of Washington State
College. is seriously considering en-
tering the race for the republican
domination for congress, The Herald
homes that Mr.. Johnson will give this
matter serious thought before max
mo his decision and believes that if
he does so he will readily see the
bope1essness of his cause and remain
ont of the race. Mr.. Johnson is man
of strong points, being an amiable
man. who makes friends easily, and
rsnalv retains them. But that is ne
reason why he should be standing
candidate for congress and help to
throw the plum to Spokane every
election. If Mr.. Johnson remains out
of the race Mr.. La Toilette stands an
excellent show of winning. If he
enters the race and develops any con
siderable strength, it is certain that
both he and La Toilette will go down
to defeat. Mr.. Johnson has had his
day in court" He made the race two
years ago and got big vote in Whit
man county Our people stood by him
loyally, but that does not mean that
he has a mortgage on their votes and
that they will sacrifice local man
for the man from Yakima county.
While speaking of Yakima county
it might be we'll to suggest that that
county, while it produces big apples
and alfalfa hay, is not the whole
state, nor all of the Third congress
sional district. 1t already has the Tn
tied States senator. 1t cannot expect
both United States senators from this
state and the congressman from the
Third district. Yet it is asking for
all of these, or will ask for them, if
it places Mr. johnson in the race for
congress. Leigh r. Freeman, the be
whiskered editor of farm paper
at North Yakima, has entered the
race for United States senator to sue
coed Piles, and if he should be elect
ed and Johnson should get the con-
gressional office, Yakima would have
enc congressman, and both United
States senators, or three-ffths of
our representation in congress.
If Mr.. Johnson will not enter the
race for congress this year he stands
a good chance of getting to congress,
or perhaps to the governors chair,
later. Washington will be redistricted
after the results of the next census
are announced, and a fourth, if not
a fifth district will be established.
That will give Mr.. Johnson a chance,
but this year he stands no more show
of being elected than would repub-
ltcan in Missi sAtppi, and if he is wise
he will "nursglhis boom" for two
years more TIM only certain results
of Mr.. Johnson entering the race this
year will be to give Spokane the con
gresham, probably defeat PoindeX-
ter for the United States senate and
put Mr.. Johnson forever on the shelf
as a political possibility. He cannot
stand two defeats for congress in two
successive campaigns, The Herald
hopes that Mr. Johnson will act the
part of wisdom in this matter and
not commit political suicide

CZARINA WRECK PROMPTS
REPORT.
equipment of Pacific Coast Life
Saving Stations Explained
by Official.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 14.-Tn
response to the request of Senator
Bourne for a statement of the con
dltlon OF the United States Life
Saving service along the Oregon
coast as regards its efficiency.
General superintendent S. |. Kim
haII has submitted a detailed re-
port to the secretary Of the treas
my, which is in part as follows :
The usual equipment of u life
saving station consists of two surf
IlteboatS and accessories. a boat
carriage, a life ear and VITO sets
OF breeches buoy apparatus with
the gear for operating them, a
Lyle gun with accessories for pro-
Jectlng lines over stranded vessels.
besides various other articles of
minor Importance All of the fore
going articles are at each of the
SIX stations on the coast of Ore
gon.
The most recent development in
Iifeboat equipment is the self
righting and self-bailing power
lfeboat. This type of boat is pc
culiarly adapted to attending
wrecks at considerable distance
from a life saving station. Up to
this time six boats have been
placed in the 10 stations ON the
Pacific coast; Washington having
received two, Oregon two and Cal
lfornia two. In this matter the Pa
clfic coast has Jared better than
he Alamo, which, with $50 sta
lion, has received but is.
The last inspection reports show
all Of the boats to be in service
able condition except the 34-foot
power lifeboat mentioned as being
at the Coos Bay station, which was
not at the station at the date of
the last inspection. 1t will thus be
seen that all the stations on the
Oregon coast have the usual boat
equipment, and in most cases more
than that,

Distance Limited

Next to life boats the brooches
buoy and life car, together with
the gun for firing lines over
stranded vessels are the most i'm
portant factors in saving life from
shipwreck.
The Lyle gun is used in this
country and several foreign coun-
tries, and is believed to be the
best existing device for the requir-
ed work. The limit Of the use Of,
the gear is thought to be about
400 yards (1200 feet) That is the
greatest distance in the history Of
the United States ife-saying ser
vice over which a rescue has been
effected by means Of lines, and
| have never heard of success over
a greater distance in any other
country. Many people who have
not studied the matter and become
acquainted with the difficulties
involved have very erroneous no
lions respecting the throwing Of
lines and effccting Of rescues
thereby. The wreck Of the Czarina
at Coos bay, referred to in the let
ter Of Senator Bourne, is a case
in point. | have observed in press
which | have received
and in a letter from the chamber
OF commerce at Marshfield, that
seems to be indicated
that success did not follow the at
tempts to throw line over yes
sci about 2000 feet distant. This
distance is well towards half a
mile, and as much in excess Of
the effective range of the Lyle
gun or any other device that !
know Of. There are two good guns
of the Lyle type at every station
of the Pacific coast, 1t was one of
these that was unsuccessfully
used at the wreck Of the Czarina.

(Hecald Specially

Chicago, Sept Sunless all pre-
dictions go astray political history OF
an important character will be made
tonight in the gold room of the Con
gress Hotel, where Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt will address a gathering of
republican leaders representing the
entire Middle West. 1t will be a
mixed" assemblage, inasmuch as it
will include many of the most promi-
nent leaders of both republican fac
tions. That the ex-president will say
things that will set the ears of some
of his bearers a-tingling is regarded as
a foregone conclusion.
Colonel Roosevelt is expected to
outline in vigorous language his views
on the political issues now agitating
the republican party and to set forth
in unequivocal terms his position as
between the insurgents" and the
"standpatters. Just what position
the former president may take is, of
course, unknown. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the speech will be pro
gressive" in its character and will
give aid and comfort, in one form or
another, to the insurgency. How far
the speaker may go in this regard,
how much aid and comfort the in
snrgents will get nobody knows, but
persons who know the former presi-
dent say that he will leave not the
slightest doubt in the minds of any
of his hearers as to just how he
stands on all of the republican partys
burning political problems.
In expectation of an address of pro-
found import the Hamilton Club,
whose guest Colonel Roosevelt will be
while in the city and under whose
auspices tonight's banquet takes
place, has sent out invitations to sew
eral hundred of the leading republi-
cans of this section of the country.
No political color line" has been
drawn. Speaker Cannon has been in
vited, as well as Senators LaFollette
and Cummins. Among others who
have been invited and the most of
whom have accepted the invitation,
are former Vice President Fairbanks, |
Senator William Alden Smith of Mich |

(Herald Specially

New York, Sept. S.-The new Penn
sylvania terminal station in this city
the largest and most magnificent
structure of its kind in the world. to
| Sether with the tunnels, which con
meet it with New Jersey on the one
side, with Long Island on the other
were opened to public traffic today
The formal dedication of the station
and tunnels took place about one
month ago, but actual traffic through
the tubes and in the terminal was
not lnaugurated until today. The
event, which marks the beginning of
new and important epoch in the
development of New York's transpor-
tation facilities, was duly celebrated
in Manhattan, in Brooklyn, in Long
Island City and other Long Island
towns by enthusiastic popular demon
trations today.
The work of this gigantic under
taking, which was originally planned
by the late Alexander ]. Cassatt.
then president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, and which will con-
stitute a lasting memorial to his
name, was begun about six years ago.
The construction of the tunnels under
the Hudson and the East river was a
remarkable engineering feat The
tunnels are continuous tubes of steel
nearly seven miles long, are lined
with concrete and accommodate each
but a single track.
The erection of the terminal sta
ton itself was tremendous under
taking. Before the first stone of the
masonry work of the building could
be laid, which was on June Is, 1908,
an enormous amount of work had to
be done. About five hundred build
ings, occupying the area bounded by
Seventh and Eighth avenues, Thirty
first and Thirty-third streets, had to
be torn down, the entire area eXca-
waited to a great depth and not until
then could the actual erection of the
magnificent structure be begun.
The New York station of the Penn
sylvania railroad is the largest build
ing ever constructed at one time, in
the history of the world. 1t covers an
area of twenty-eight acres, of which
eight acres are taken up by the ter
minal building itself, the rest by the
yards. The station is a beautiful
structure built after the Roman-Doric
style of architecture. 1t is construct
ed of pink granite, quarried at Mil
ford, Mass, steel and brick, and is di-
vided into three levels The lowest
part contains the tracks, which are
fully forty feet under the street level
and are reached by numerous stair
ways connecting the tracks with the
waiting rooms and corridors, ETC., on
the ground floor.

At the corner of Eighth avenue and

entrances on all sides, giving ample
access to the monumental structure.
The main waiting room on the con-
