SCHEME FOR GOOD ROADS
Plan to Tax Horsepower of Automo
biIes-Could Raise $S3,316
Year.

Spokane, Wash, May 9.-Main-
tanning the public highways in Wash
ington by tax of 81 for each horse
power on all automobiles, trucks and
motorcycles operated in the state, is
advocated by Gov. M. E. Hay in a
letter to J. A. Perry, secretary of the
Spokane County Good Roads associa-
ton. Owners of cars are generally
in favor. of the new tax, the import
ance of which will be brought to the
attention of the legislature at it's next
session. Licenses for BIAS motor
vehicles, with a total of S3,316 horse
power, were issued for the year end
ed April 80. This would bring $685.
316 into the road fund, or more than
enough to maintain all the existing
roads and those under construction,
thus leaving a balance to be expend-
ed upon highways which are without
care of any kind, because the pres
ent laws make no provision for such
work. Officers of the various good
roads associations in Washington are
keenly interested in the proposed law

SAM SMALL TO-
MORROW NIGHT

Sam Small, the noted southern
lecturer who will appear at the Meth
odist church Tuesday evening, is
brought here under the direction of
the Methodist Brotherhood. AS the

Ingersoll electrified a national con-

address was pitched upon the prob
lens of liberty, and he captivated the
thousands present by the wonderful

DEBATE GOES UP IN
SMOKE

The monumental bluff of White
side and the democratic committee
that Grubb and Hutchinson dare
not meet him in the bloody arena
and debate on anything, was called
and as was expected by the closest
observers of Mr.. Whiteside. he was
out on limb which broke and let
him down into the slough of des-
pond.
The chairman of the republican
central committee proposed that the
subject of debate should be as fol-
lows:
Resolved that the public record
and private career of Fred White
side are such as to render him unfit
to assume the trust unnecessarily i'm
posed upon a state senator for Flat
head county, Montana.
The chairman of the democratic
central committee proposed that the
subject of the debate should include
not only the public record and pri-
vAte career of Fred Whiteside, but
also the public record and private
career of E. M. Hutchinson and
George H. Grubb.
The debate will never come off,
but Geo. H. Grubb announces that
he will continue to arraign Fred
Whiteside on his public and private
record, wheresoever he may speak.
Mr.. Grubb also lets down the bars
as far as Mr.. Whiteside is concerned
and accords him full permission to
express his opinion of Grubb OF
Hutchinson, publicly or privately
and promises not to resent it.
Kalispel Times.
Comment on the above would be
superfluous were it not that a re-
buke so scathing, SO menacing in
what has been left unsaid, inclines
one to turn the lamp of pity on the
political pariah, at whom it is di-
rectel. Whiteside will be beaten al
the polls and will probably be heard
of no more in Montana politics.
P. S. There's no cinch about
that! Maybe another corporation
bill, 100 will require the services O
an expert lobbyist. Good politica
jackalls are scarce article in thes'
progressive times. but the lion mus
be provided and the buzzard is
lively bird when it gets a Whit o
gilt-edged carrion.

Boys, Cut 1t Out.

During the past week or so school
boys we should presume, have teen
writing vulgar and obscene epitaths
on the sidewalks and stumps along
the streets, and embodying in them
the names of innocent little girls.
Some of them are written in such
lewd and vulgar language as to make
anyone blush with shame. When
it comes to using the names of in
nocent little girls in them it is time
that the practice be called to halt
and the perpetrators of the deed
severely chastised. This matter
was brought to the notice of the
city council at it's meeting Friday
night, and the marshal was in
structed to keep sharp lookout,
and anyone caught indulging in
this nefarious practice will meet
with severe punishment.
Complaint was also made to the
council, charging boys with tear
ing down and defacing placards and
posters neary rs fast as they are
nailed up. These placards and
posters are generally advertisements
put out Ivy the merchants, political
announcements. public notices, etc.
all of which cost money to have
printed, and they ought to have
some protection.
The boys probably do not know
that this is malicious destruction
of property for which they can be
punished.
1t will be well for the boys who
have been doing this to refrain
from it in the future, and take heed
of this warning. If the police
catch you, or hear of you doing so,
you will have peck of trouble on
your hands that will cause YOU con-
siderable to get out of.
