State Examination


e. F. Harpst who went to Tacoma
last week for the pupose of taking
the state examination given for Ii
'censed embalmers received word
Tuesday to the effect that he had
passed with credit and on Thursday
re9lived his state license, No. 213,
frdn Elmer E. Heg, secretary of the
state board Of health. The exam
nation is a very difficult one and
realizing this Mr.. Harpst had
worked almost night and day for
six weeks under the tutorage of one
o1 the best known authorities in the
United States. For the past three
years he has been studying embalm-
ing in the hope that he might some
day take the final test and under the
advice Of his tutor took the recent
examination with the result as above
stated. His general average was
very high and he naturally feels
quite jubilent over his success. He
is the only licensed embalmer in the
county and there are but 213 in the
state.

food Scarcity in Europe

Alarming reports are coming
from Spain, Austria, Germany and
Switzerland with regards to the
scarcity of meat. The laboring
classes of Germany find it impossi-
BILE to purchase flesh, and bread is
scarce even in the south of Italy,
once the granary of the peninsula.
Meat has suddenly risen from 8 to
10 per cent. and in some localities
even more per retail pound. In
Germany corresponding increase
in prices Of food commodities is
spreading all over the country, and
dog flesh and horse flesh are also
becoming scarce and expensive.
Public meetings are being held IN
all the principal cities in Germany
in which resolutions are carried en-
treating the government to break
down the frontier tariff wall, and ad-
init foreign cattle, on foot or in
carcasses. The admission of Amer
lean canned meat is especially advo-
Gated.

A Farmers Endorsement
Of. Canneiy Project

Speaking Of the article in last
weeks Islander concerning the prop
position to establish a large pea
cannery here. Joseph Sandwith said
q few days ago:
There is another good argument
in favor Of the project which the Is
lander did not mention, and that is
that the growing Of peas will kill
out the mustard which has become
a serious pest on this island, on
nearly all farms on which oats have
been grown for many years. and
successive crops of peas, as the Is
lander said. enrich the soil rather
than exhaust it, as oats do.
"The pea cannery proposition
looks good to me and would like
very much to see it carried out. l
can see no reason why it should not
be a big success under proper man
agement and a great help to the
farmers of the county generally.
With viners conveniently located so
that farmers would not have far to
drive to reach them, the green crop
could be handled without difficulty
and the vines returned to the farm
to be cured for hay or converted in
to silage. It would be big help to
the dairy industry and a fine thing
from every point of view, it seems
to me-"

State Tax Reduced

''The islander is indebted to j. H.
Brown. Of the State Capital Record,
for the following information OF IN
terest to tax payers in this county:
San Juan County must pay $9,447
state tax this year instead Of 1O.827
levied by the State for 1909. This
is the result of the determination Of
the State Board Of Equalization to
cut the state tax levy to the last
possible point. It could not reduce
the state tax for schools and for
because those are hxed
BY the Legislature. The State
Board hopes that the tax payers will
see that the County Commissioners
next month reduce the county levy
and that city councils will reduce
the state levy, because in no other
way will it be possible to accomplish
what the tax payers are demanding,
a reduction in taxation.

Congressional Apportionments.

One Of the first questions with
which the approaching session Of
congress will be called upon to
grapple will be to determine when
the next apportionment Of members
of the house Of representatives un-
der the recent census shall be made.
The constitution requires that a
reapportionment shall follow each
decennial enumeration Of the people,
and accordingly a redistribution of
seats in the house membership has
taken place hitherto soon after the
conclusion Of each census.
Up to 1890 the reapportionment
was uniformly postponed until the
first session Of the congress succeed
ing the enumeration but after the
18th census a change was made and
the reapportionment bills for the
11th and 18th censuses were brought
in and passed in each case during
the short session Of the current con-
gress Immediately following the
census. It will rest with the ap-
preaching session to determine
whether it shall follow the old or
the new precedent.
The first apportionment made by
the constitution itself provided for
one member to every &c, 900 inhabi-
tants, with the result that at its first
session the house contained only IS
members. The census of 1870 re-
suited in an increase to los with
SO, 900 As the basis Of representa-
tion. From that time forth with
one exception the increase both in
representation the ratio has been
steady. as follows: 1900, 141 menu
bers with q ratio Of $4,000; 1910.
