LIGHT AT LAST

For some weeks past the Carson
News has been scanning the politi-
cal horizon with a powerful glass,
watching for some sign OF Republi-
can victory in Nevada. The editor
Of the News is the lookout who oc-
cupies the crows nest in the Repub-
lican ship OF state, and from his lofty
station in the rigging watches for a
sight OF land or some passing sail,
For weeks past he has seen nothing
but the dark cloud of inurgency
gathering from the various points OF
the compass and as these clouds
seem to close in and pail the dark
cning sky he suddenly shouts to the
people upon the deck below that he
has located sure signs OF a Republi
can victory.
Here is what it is:
A few days ago Senator Billy Eas-
ton received a wire from his daugh-
ter that she had married George Lis
ter Of Austin, and the News reprints
a notice OF the affair from the Aus
tin Revellc with the following:
$50, there you are. When a
man is busy with a state cam
paign, trying to get second place
in the Republican ticket; when
ME wife iS AWAY and all iS calm,

Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1910-08-30

A few weeks ago the Republican
leaders were assuring their following
that there would be nc insurgency
in Nevada and added significantly:
Don't bother about Morehousc.
He's all right"
Well, is he?
Morehouse opens his insurgency
fight this week in Reno and from
what is generally known of his past
performances as a campaigner The
Appeal is of the opinion that he will
roll up a following Of insurgents
that the party bosses will not find
easy to handle.

in the year. The result may be
surprising, but it will be newt
able"
No doubt the entire Republican
press of Nevada will hail this harlem
ger of victory as the real thing but it
vii, take something more than this
to enthuse the masses who are en-
curing just now of the candidates
how they stand on the reduction of
fares and freights on the railroads.

One Of the strongest arguments ad-
vanced in the campaign for woman
suffrage which closed with the election
November 8 was that published by
Robert Montgomery, editor Of the Pu-
yallup Valley Tribune, under the title
Female Suffrage, from the Viewpoint
of a Male Democrat. The booklet
was published and distributed by the
Washington Equal Suffrage Association.
II presented the question discussed in
a clear and complete light, touching on
all of the arguments advanced both for
and against suffrage, answering those
which were considered by the author to
be falacious, and arriving at conclusions
which appealed to logical thinkers. Mr..
Montgomery was one Of the men who
fully realized the importance Of the
amendment which was to be voted on,
and used his influence in presenting
the question in a serious light to as
many voters as his essay reached.
After reading the document the voter,
whatever his views, was sufficiently
well informed on the question at issue
to express an intelligent opinion at the
polls. If any are dissatisfied with the
outcome they must lay the blame on
those who either did not vote on the
suffrage amendment at all or who voted
thoughtlessly.

The higher the valley you CO. the Bigger apples

The seizure in Seattle Of shipment
Of turkeys from California, which were
in cold storage and which proved to be
injected with several million more mi
crobes than the pure food law allows,
goes to emphasize the need Of more
producers Of poultry, dairy products,
live stock, and in fact all sorts Of food
products in the state Of Washington,
1t seems ridiculous that a state with
the fertile soil, wonderful climate and
general advantages Of this should be
obliged TO import its Thanksgiving
turkeys, not to mention eggs and other
products, which are daily being shipped
into Seattle from other states. New
settlers are needed to take up the land
in the Northwest and provide food for
the ever increasing markets Of the cities,
logging and lumber camps, Alaska and
other remote points. With all the
hundreds Of new settlers in the North
west, and those the railroads are bring
ing every year, there is room and de-
mand for more.

Some Monster Apples

F. L. Post & Sons have 36-ounce
Spokane Beauty on exhibit at the Van
couver National Apple show. This is
not quite so large as the specimen OF
the same variety which they entered at
Spokane last year, but il is Of perfect
form and without blemish, and will no
doubt outweigh all competitors. This
apple will also be taken to the Spokane
show this month in a collection Of fifty
which Post & Sons will enter in the
pyramid Of largest and heaviest apples.
L. H. Spader captured the pyramid
prize last year with fifty apples which
weighed 10 pounds. The Posts gath
cred 40 Spokane beauties which tipped
the scales at 70 pounds. To these
will be added ten other large apples
making a collection which will out
weigh last years prize winner several
pounds.

ENGLISH MARKET PAYS
Fancy and Extra Fancy Jonathan Apples
Bring $1.75

William Edmund received returns
yesterday from a carload of fancy and
extra fancy Jonathans shipped by him
to the English market. These were
grown by Fred Patton and the Wright
Nursery company Of Cashmere. Mr.
Edmund finished his shipments yester-
day and sent out 81 cars. From the
returns received by him, the indications
are that the entire shipment will yield
good prices. The auction market, how
ever, has proved disastrous to shippers
in this country as well as in England,
and il is said that the Wagner ship
ments to England will result in con-
siderable loss to Mr.. Wagner. Wen

Husband Killed, Then Son

In the head-on collision that occurred
near Chattaroy, Sunday, in which two
trains were burned, eight men killed
and several injured, occurred the death
of E. B. Mcintyre, brother Of the night
foreman, Mcintyre, Of the round house
of Leavenworth. His death was a
crushing blow to his mother, Mrs. D.
c. Mcintyre, Of Hillyard, whose hus-
band was killed five years ago, while
acting in the capacity of roadmaster in
Nebraska. It is said that the memory
Of the fatal accident to her husband was
always on her mind and that some
time ago she had Dremonition that
her son would meet his fate and as a
result urged him 10 quit railroading.
He is survived by two sisters, besides
his mother and brother.

cession to Wenatchee.

Brotherhoods Of railroad employees
which have issued memorial declaring
present railroad conditions, the con-
slant increase of cost in labor and ma
terial, and the constant decrease in
railroad rates, are menace to railroad
wages, have proved third and new
factor in the monumental question Of
adjusting railroad rates. Previously the
question was settled between the rail-
road owners, stockholders and managers
on one side, and the producers, middle
men and shippers on the other. In this
contest the shippers have Of late years
had all the best, rates going steadily
downward. Now the railway employees
enter as a third factor and declare the
decrease OF rate and increase Of ex-
penses are threatening the wages Of
railroad employees. The railroads can
not stand the strain much longer. They
will have to make a cut somewhere,
presumably in wages. Commenting on
this condition the New York Sun in an
editorial says:
will the brotherhoods be able to
do what the railroad managers and rail-
road owners have been unable to do?
that is guarantee fair treatment oi
the railways when rate orders are made.
There is reason for hoping the railway
owners, exercising such legitimate in
huence as they possess, plus the rail-
way managers, exercising such legiti-
mate influence as they possess, plus
the railway employees, exercising sucf
Legitimate influence as they possess
will be strong enough to counterpoist
the producers, shippers and middlemer
who demand lower rates without regard
to fairness .

NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Senator Jones for JUdge-PoIiticaI Equality
Railroad Men to Take a Hand
Cold Storage

Politicians are inclined to the belief
that Senator Jones will favor the plan
to make him federal Judge to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of Judge
Whitson. They argue that Senator
Jones, first, can get the position il he
desires it; secondly, that the position
will appeal to him because it will be a
life job, and he will have chance to
materially benefit himself by retiring
from uncertain political life. While
Senator Jones still has some years to
serve, he will at the expiration Of his
term find himself in a political struggle
to succeed himself. It is certain, these
politicians argue, the west side Of the
state will be ready in four years to de-
mand a United States senator and to
accompany their demands with suffi-
cient votes to elect man. II the
west side should feel that way about it
and succeed in capturing the senator
ship, Senator Jones would be relegated
to private life. The past political his
tory Of this state does not seem to hold
out much hope or inducement to the
man who wants to succeed himself as
United States senator.

TIMBER TAX DUE WHEN CUT
Argued That Plan Viii Remove One Great
Motive for Rapid DeforestatiOn
Under Private Holdings

That virgin timber should be exempt
from taxation until it is cut, and that
as an encouragement to private capital
to hold cut-over land for a second cut,
the state exempt both the land and the
growing tree from taxation until the
timber is cut, were the final recon-
mendations made yesterday by the sub
committee on forest taxation Of the
state commission on forest legislation.
The report was presented by Prof.
Frank G. Miller. The other members
Of the committee were: E. G. Ames
and J. ]. Donovan.
The committee suggested IN its re-
port that the change in the method of
taxation proposed would be highly to
the interest of the state as whole IN
that it would aid distinctly in per
petuating the forest as resource.
The committee, among other things,
said in its report:
This investigation has shown that
it is not SO much the amount of the
taxes, but the system that is objected
to. Many an owner would hold his
timber for a number of years and pay
the accumulated tax with interest when
he harvests his crop, but would be
obliged to harvest early where the tax
must be paid annually.
The tax on timber land has in
creased rapidly in the last few years,
and there is strong pressure being
brought to bear on tax officials con-
stantly to increase it still further. This
pressure will be stronger in the future
than il has been in the past, for as ad-
ditional land is cleared and in conse-
quence yields less tax revenue, the
tendency will be to make the un-
cleared land make up the difference.
The facing of this almost certain in
crease, together with the annual recur-
renee of the tax, with no income from
the property itself with which to pay it,
is going to have the inevitable result Of
fastening the cutting unduly, which
means enforced waste thru the rushing
of timber of on a weak market In
fact, there is just now decided move
ment in this direction"
The committee submitted a large
amount OF statistical information show
ing the timber tax scale for western
Washington and what il amounts to for
various periods if compounded at five
per cent interest. Tables showing the
working out of the proposed stumpage
tax were also submitted.
Prof. Thatcher. in the discussion that
followed the reading Of the report,
pointed out that one objection to the
plan was that it might be construed as
giving a preference to timber as against
other resources. R. w. Douglas point
ed out that under present laws fruit
trees were exempt from taxation. E. G.
Ames declared that this rule had fos-
tered the planting Of large orchards
yielding annually thousands Of dollars
worth OF fruit.
Mr. Douglas stated plan Of taxing
the timber only at the time il was cut
would not give timber a preference in
that it would merely put timber taxa
ton on the same basis as other crops,

Mr.. Atkinson stated just before he
left for Seattle that from surface crop
pings and quarry waste both lime and

perfectly confident that in compare
lively short time an extensive industry
will be built up right here.

Attorney-General W. P. Bell holds
the state highway board cannot accept
TIM offer Of the Washington Bridge
Company to sell to the state the We
natchee bridge for $4,000. The
ground for the attorney-general's opinion
is that the last legislature, when it ap-
prOpriated $4,000 for the purchase
Of the Wenatchee bridge, specified the
purchase price should consist Of the
actual cost Of the structure, with inter
est thereon. The bridge company also
asked a perpetual right TO run its pipes
over OF under the bridge for irrigation
purposes; and this, it is held by the
attorney-general, would be unconstitu-
tional.

AS a result of observations made on
a recent hunting trip in Kitsap county,
and to prevent the extinction OF deer
in this state, Governor M. E. Hay be-
lieves hunting with doge should be
done away with. He also thinks the
bear should be protected, inasmuch as
it is a harmless animal and does not
molest other protected game.
