You go now

Capt. Bowyer-My plan is this: You
have given us a law which permits the
Secretary of the Navy to order courts
of inquiry, and courts of inquiry are by
recent law authorized to compel civilian

my intention to get the Secretary to or

Mr.. Thomas-How many saloons are

Mr.. Thomas-How much is that law en-

Liquor is sold to minors and is sold to
candidates. There are candidate schools
there-that Is. preparatory schools. The

sirable acquAntances, which are held

Authorities Afraid to Act.
MIR. Thomas-I wondered how much en-
couragement the authorities or the people
OF Annapolis gave to these boys.
Capt Bowyer-I think they would like
to stop it il they could. but they do not
IKE to take the necessary action. I be-
lieve some cases OF selling liquor to
minors have been reported to the grand
jury. But there has been decision that
IL the proprietor appears in court and
states that he gave the necessary orders
to his subordinate. his bartender, that
clears him. If the bartender then sells
to minors or the midshipmen. that clears
the proprietor. This does not look as If
the people themselves are really trying to
carry out the law.
MI Macon-What do they do with the
bartender VINO makes the sale?
Capt. Bowyer-Apparently they release
him; because the proceedings were against
the proprietor.
Mr.. Macon-They do not indict the bar

WHAT Do YOU
Think OF IT.?

The Washington convention did
one right thing, the Iowa COnven-
ton one infelicitous and injudi-
cious act. The republicans at Ia
coma stood by President Taft, but
those at Des MOlnes gave him only
lukcwarm Endorsement.
With the exception of this con
trast comparison of the two CON
.ventions rebounds to the credit of
the progressives.
The regulars of Washington ran
the steamroller over the progress
ives. The progressives of Iowa
RELOCATED the political juggarnaunt
into innocuous disgutude and gave
their regular brethren a square
deal
The Washington convention
courted defeat for the republican
party of this state. Mere state
nent of its acts condemns it.
Though standing by Taft, it indor-
sed only part of his policies.
Though protesting loyalty to Roose
Veltsian repubicanism, it denounC-
ed his and PinChot's principles of
conservation and praised Ballingcr.
Though clarifying Mcssrs. Hum
phery, Jones, McCredie and Piles
by name, it ignored the eXistance
even OF Mr.. PoindeXter. Though
summoned to nominate Judges, it
went ont of its way to declare that
a man from western Washington
ought TO be the next national sena-
tor. The creature of the corpora
ton ana the boss, il betrayed the
people ; trust. The party will pay
at the polls in November for this
August performance.
The Iowa convention Endorsed
the progressive congressman of
that state, branded the tariff law a
failure to redeem the republican
pledges, und augmented harmony
by backing the administration of
Governor Carroll, regular. Since
progressive republicans throughout
the country outnumber conserVa-
tive republicans by three to one,
the tolerance and squarcness of
the progrcssives in Iowa, where
they are organized and control, au-
CUR well for the future of the party
when the progressives control it in
every state.
To the republicans of Washing
ton the state convention has said:
Choose We this day whom we will
serVo-the special interests of the
people. Next autumn the voters
will repudiate the convention. -

from the bosses, and for this he
must be punished, disciplined,
snubbed, and read out of the re-

the Tacoma convention is silent.
The silence is so eloquent that it is
all but audible. Failure TO con

Commenting on the growing
tendency to lavish appropriations,
the Hon. ]. +. Frost, state tax
commissioner; in an address before
the annual meeting of the State
Association of County Commits
sioners, held at North Yakima on
February 18th. 1910, made the fol
lowing statement:
There seems to be growing
tendency on the part of the board
of county commissioners and the
state legislature to appropriate
funds for purposes which do not
benefit the public as a whole.
The fixed tax levies for the
state have all been increased.
The levy for the state highways
has increased from one fourth mill
to one mill above that of the pre-
vious legislature.
The levy for military purposes
was Increased from tenth mill
to one-tifth mill above that of the
previous legislature.
Relative to the extravaganza of
the last legislature, he said among
other things:
In order to meet these advances
Gin appropriations, it was ueCes
sary to increase the levy for all pur-
poses general fund.- from one and
-tenths mills to three mills. the
limit allowed by law. Constantly
a long line OF men gather at Olym
pia during the Legislative session,
who ask for this, that and the 9th
er thing, and i'll many cases there
is no general benefit derived from
any such appropriations, but we
do not see men attending the legis-
lative sessions who ask that the
legislature go easy i'll making APP
preparations. No retrenChmcnt is
asked for by these men. Despite
the increase in the levy to three
mills, there will undoubtedly be a
deficiency which will have to be
takenup by the next legislature.
The last legislature appropriated
three times as much as the previous
one, and the boards of county
commissioners are now spending
four times as much as boards of
two years ago
The man who is thinking of
bringing money into the state for
an investment always inquiries into
the rate of taxation From this
fact it is advisable that we keep our
taxation at the lowest rate possible.
We are undoubtedly entering into
an epoch where it will be necessary
to practice economy. Taxation
not only for state purposes, but Tor
municipal and county purposes IS
becoming a heavy burden, a burden
which might be borne in an epoch
of remarkable prosperity, but which
will prove a very great handicap III
normal times.
This drift towards a remarkable
increase in the tax burden is better
shown by figures than by comment
In the year 1905, the total as
sessed valuations of all taxable
property in the state as carried on
the tax rolls, aggregated $500, O59,
5S3. The average rate of taxation
for all purposes state, county and
municipal-was 35.5 mills. In the
year 1909 this aggregate Valuation
had assumed the colossal proper
tons of 500, 40, $4,000, and the
average rate of taxation was 3l.5
mills, which shows that III spite OF
the great increase in valuations,

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE
SUBMITS THE FACTS

The State Taxpayers League, at
Seattle, has published a circular to
the voters of Washington, i'll which
some taxation eXtravagances are
very clearly stated;
T he over Swallowing question i'll
state affairs is IL OF the election of a
United States senator to represent
the State of Washington i'll nation
Al councils, but the election of a
levelheaded business-like legisla-
ture to meet squarely the economic
issue of preventing our state from
drifting into wild, excessive epoch
Of extravaganza.
AT the close of the season of the
last legislature, a fOrcetvl writer
contributed letter to the Post In
tellingencer of Seattle. in which he
prophesied the situation which now
exists, as follows: Nor can the
election of United States senator
cloud the issue, since it is certain
that the career of optimistic eXtrav-
agarce into which the legislature
of 1909 plunged the state will have
reached its maximum possibilities
of tax penalties in the levies to be
exacted in 191O.'
Watch the property holder get
busy with the Legislative candidate
next year.
Next year l91O) will be year
of the highest assessment and the
highest levy in Washington, with
the certainty that at the close the
state government will be deeper in
de BIT than ever before.
Of the total amount of taxes rals-
ed in the State of Washington for
all purposes - state, county, munic-
ipal, for roads and for schools
practically 20 per cent were for
state taxation. Five years ago, i'll
the year 1905, the total amount
levied for state purposes was s.,
496, 922'OO, while for the year 1909
the total amount levied for all state
purposes was S., POS, $1,000, or an
increase of 112 per cent, in five
years. The levy for 1908 was 50,
593, $4,000, and as stated above,
the levy for 1909 was S., POS, Sl2. 90
an increase of AZ per cent, in one
year. and with certainty that there
will be deficit instead of any sur
plus, for the next legislature to
provide for.
Analysed and segregated, the
statement of tax levies shows that
the amount levied for the general
fund has increased from 1921 $50,
in 1905 to So, 81, 25gOO in 1909,
an increase of 1873 per cent in FIVE
years. The levy for 1909 is practi-
cally double the amount levied for
the previous year of 1908. The
levy for the state school fund (hx-
ed by law at $1,000 for each child
Of school age) increased from 81
642, 712.OO in 1905 to S1976, O49 90
in 1909, an increase of 20 per cent
For the military fund S32, S54 90
was levied in 1905. For 1909 this
levy is $158, OS4 90. The first levy
for the state highway fund was
made in 1906 and amounted to
1882, $50 DOR For the year 1909
the state highway levy is 800, APO
an increase of 500 per cent, in four
years.

levied for municipal purposes in
the year 1909 was s., sos, $500
against s. 40, 5000 for 1905, or
an increase equivalent to l45 per

Every patriotic citizen realizes
that there is much TO do i'll new
country that should be done, and
it is a part of wisdom to be broad
enough and big enough to meet
with courage and liberalily the de
mands for the new country for de-
velopmcnt, and yet the new cOun-
try, much less the old and prosper
GUS one, is not able to bear the eX
cessivc burden of high taxation
The tendency to make lavish APP
preparations during prosperous
times sets pace which is hard to
follow when times are normal.
If this drifts towards increased
taxation continues the effect will
be to seriously enbarrass the tax
payer and to drive away capital i'll
stead of inviting it. The most inn
portant duty that confronts the tax
payers of the State of Washington
is to select a evelheaded business
body of men who will constitute
the next legislature. Every legis-
lative candidate should be pledged
to more economic government.
