County officers are not the only
ones to be looked after in the
election to take place November
8; everyone should vote for men
who go to the legislature which
not only make laws but which
also spend the peoples money.
In the last legislature that met at
Olympia in January, 1909, there
was appropriated over ten million
dollars or about ten dollars apiece
Tor every man, woman and child
in the state.
This legislature passed such
laws as taking away the election
of the supreme court from the
people and placed it in the hands
of the politicians. In other words
the direct primary law was so
amended that instead of the peo-

Mrs. VIM. G. Clark of Cleve-
land, O., has just become the
mother of her third set of triplets.
Between times the stork has left
four sets of twins at her domicile.
Although but thirty-three years
of age, Mrs. Clark has been the
mother of II children, seven of
whom are living. She herself was
a French girl and came to Amer
lea when six years old.
She was married when twelve
and year later twins were born
to her; when fourteen she be-
came the mother of triplets.
She herself has &c brothers.
The proud papa of the last set
of triplets is a blacksmith.
Mrs. Clark did the family wash
ing two days after the triplets
were born. She believes that
homes without lots of children
are mere empty shells.

TAKING
CENSUS NEXT
WEDNESDAY
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 90.
Chief Census Statistician Hunt,
accompanied by his confidential
secretary, l.. V. Boales, left today
for Tacoma to conduct the recount
ordered after reports of padding
in the census returns from that
city. Hunt will make a complete
remuneration of Tacoma. He
said before leaving that he ex-
pected to complete the work
within a week after his arrival at
Tacoma, which will be Wednesday.
Hunt said he would have twelve
experts from the Pacific coast
and $50 local enumerators to as
sist him in the work.

Nuzum, of Spokane, attorneys for
Gordon. The other is State Sena-
tor w. H. Paulhamus of Pierce
county.
The Great Northern tax deci-
sions came as climax to a long
series of notorious tax lodging on
the part of that and other rail-
roads. 1t is probably conservative
to estimate that within a decade
the railroads have cheated the
people of Washington out of five
million dollars in tax lodging, an
leverage of half a million dollars
a year.. What the railroads have
evaded other taxpayers have had
to pay.
As an illustration of the eX-
tent of railroad tax lodging
few figures will prove highly
illdminative. The state tax
commission has determined
that the value of the North
eFn Pacific railroad for taxa
tion purposes is $82, ,424 a
mile and of the Great North
em SOL, ,531. These values
are based upon an exhaustive
Investigation by the railroad
commission. During 1901,
1902 and 1908 these. rail-
roads were assessed, as equal
fzed by the state board of
equalization, at $4,000 per
mile. During 1904 and 1908
they were equalized at 1920
per mile. Thus railroads
were assessed at less than 10
| per cent of their value, while
other property was being as
| sessed at from 80 to 75 per
cent.
The legislature of 1906 created
a tax commission. The law was
prepared by Joseph H. Easterday,
of Tacoma, henchman of the
railroads, who was appointed on
| the commission. 1t was not the
Iintention of the legislature to give
1.-THE commission authority to issue
orders to other taxing officials
according to the understanding
of the members of the legislature
1.-THE powers of the commission were
ADVISORY only.
After the commission was or.
ganized its members, reading the
law, concluded that they had ad-
lyisory powers only. For two years
they made no efforts to exercise
mandatory powers. They gave ad-
vice, but issued no orders.
The commissioners advised as
SCISSORS to increase the assessed
value OF railroads. In January,

devote herself entirely to writing Her
greatest book is Jerusalem" a book
which has been translated into all
modern languages and which has gain
ed for the autheress worldwide fame.
Last year Miss Lager1of was awarded
