undue influence over his mother,
and that she was unaware of what
she was doing when she made her
will.

MAUD POWELL
Famous Violinist Comes to Aberdeen
AT Grand Theater Tomorrow

Speaking of recital by Miss
Powell, the Butte Miner Of Jan. "a,
said
''The enthusiasm of the audience
after each superb number gave proof
that the fortunate music lovers pres
ent at the Broadway theater, yes
terday afternoon were rapturously
delighted with the recital of Maud
Powell, the wonderful violinist, who
year by year has played her way to
a secure place in the hearts of con-

cities she visits in this and other
countries. Those who have heard her
before declare that the talented
woman is constantly increasing in
skill in the deft handling of the bow
and reading of the score.
Miss Powell graciously respond

COUNTY FLANS
TO END CRUISES
Will Call on Timber Owners to File
Report Instead of Hiring
Cruisers

OLYMPIA. March IA plan de-
signed to find the exact value OF
timber lands without the county
having to meet the large expense of
expert cruisers has been evolved by
Deputy Assessor Frank V. Donnelly
of Thurston county, and approved by
the assessor and members of the state
tax commission.
With rare exceptions nowadays nc
timber lands are bought without a
cruise having first been had, it i!
said, and in consequence somewhere
are records of the cruise of every
acre of timbered lands now held in
corporation or private ownership.
Contendng that there is no more
necessity for the counties to go tc
the expense of hiring cruisers, when
exact cruises exist, than there would
he to hire specialists to make up a
list of owners of bank stocks instead
of taking the bank report, Mr.. Don
nelly suggested that the proper Of
ficials call upon all owners of TIM
Der lands in this county to report
in detail what their cruises show the
lands to contain.
Mr. Donnelly said:
"In the event any of the owners
corporate or otherwise, fail or re-
fuse to make the report we ask
have assurances that the members OF
the state tax commission will aid us
in summoning the persons to be pres
ent. bringing the cruise books, that
they may be examined under oath as
to their holdings.

stances attending it has not been

they were hysterical from the hor-
ror of the avalanche and unable to
describe the scene at the summit and
the work Of rescue. While some OF
the missing may be found alive the
fate of the majority, railroad men
believe, is death. Many Of the miss

FRANCHISE
POSTPONED
GRANT OF PUBLIC ROADS GOES
OVER TO APRIL FIFTH.
Agrees 10 posfponemenf to Enable
Aberdeen-Seatfie Proposition TO
Be Definitely Framed Up. Public
Roads Not for Railroads..

Al the special meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners Tuesday, the mat
ter OF granting the interurban fran
chise over the roads of the county
was postponed until April ). at which
time the proposition of theAberdeen-
Seattle interurban line will be laid
before the board. This action was
taken after w. b. Sammons engineer
Of the Seattle line, had stated his pro-
position to build a road, operated on
private right OF way, that would re-
duce the distance between Aberdeen
and Seattle to 81 miles supply the
needed interurban line between Elma,
Montesano and Grays Harbor, and
open up large section of new coun-
try to this region.
After this statement by Mr. Sam
mons. the result Of the meeting held
in this city Sunday by the represen-
tatives OF the commercial organiza-
tiCn of the county Was given the
board by Attorney John c. Hogan.
In addition to giving the sense of
that meeting as opposed to railways
OF any kind on our wagon roads, Mr..
Hogan told of the modified franchise
prepared by him to be presented in
case the board persisted in granting
such rights over the roads. He took
the position that the board and the
Grays llarbor lnterurban company
may have been sincere-if mistaken
in an anxiety to push the develop
ment Of the county through interur-
ban lines, and suggested that the
proposition of Engineer Sammons
would fulfill that purpose without
| in any way interfering with the
/ public highways, concluding by ask
ing the board to continue the mat
ter for so days to enable Mr. Sam
mons to present his proposition in
detailed form.
Eldridge Wheeler and w. II
France We're the only members of the
lnterurban company present. anC
they both expressed willingness tC
| have the franchise postponed, say
ing they only wanted the roads built
and believed that at the present stage
OF the county's development, a free
right Of way was a necessary induce
ment in order to finance the under
taking.
Here the matter rests until April
), when the new project will be fully
explained to the board. In speak
ing of his plans, Mr.. Sammons said
! he did not consider he use of public
roads good railroad plan, that tC
properly safeguard the interests OF
| the public, such restrictions would
| have to be imposed as to seriously
interfere with the earning capacity
Of line, and that ms line was to be
common carrier road, on which
speed would be vital matter, espec-
tally with through traffic between
Seattle and Grays Harbor. An eX-
animation of the modified franchise
prepared by Mr.. Hogan fully bears
out this position. The safeguards
there provided, seem to be absolute
ly necessary, yet they would prove
onerous to an operating line of rail
way.

THE income TAXLAW
SENATOR ROOT STIRS UP new
YORK S0LONS.
United States Senator Root Take
Exception 10 Attitude o. Governor
Hughes on income Tax Amend
mcni. Letter TO Senator DaVcn-
port VeXeS RepubliCanS.

ALBANY, y. y. March 1-Unted
State Senator Roots letter to State
Senator Davenport, commencing the
proposed income tax amendment to
the constitution, was read in both
houses of the legislature last night
and was received with approval by
the Democrats, but by the Republic
cans as a body with absolute silence.
The noncommittal attitude of the
majority is explained by the fact
that Senator Root takes issue on
this subject with Gov. Hughes.
The Root letter in both houses
was ordered printed and referred
to the Judiciary committees. 1t is,
in part, as follows:
My Dear Senator: Since our con-
vereation last month | have given
much consideration to the proposed
income tax amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States.
Much as respect the opinion of
the governor of the state, | cannot
agree with the view expressed in his
special message of January ,, and as
advocated in the senate The resolu-
tion to submit the proposed amend
ment, it seems appropriate that
should state my view OF it's effect.
THE proposed amendment is in
these words: Article 16-The con-
gress shall have power to lay and
collect taxes on incomes, from what
ever source derived, without appor-
tionment among the several states
and without regard to any census
or enumeration.'
The objection is made to the
amendment that it will confer upon
the national government the power
to tax incomes derived from bonds
issued by the states or under the
authority of the states and will place
the borrowing capacity of the state
and it's governmental agencies at the
mercy Of the federal taxing power.
Il do not find in the amendment
any such meaning or effect. | did
not consider that the amendment will
enlarge the taxing power of the ma
tional government or will have any
effect except to relieve the exercise
OF that taxing power from the re
Quirement that the tax shall be ap-
pOrtioned among the several states
THE effect of the amendment will
be, in my view, the same as if it said
THE United States may lay tax on
incomes without apportioning the
tax. and this shall be applicable
whatever the source of the income
subjected to the tax leaving the
question What incomes are subject
to national taXation?' to be deter
mined by the same principles and
rules which are now applicable tC
the determination of the question.
