TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION.

A strong movement is on foot in
this and other counties Of Wash
ington to adopt the system of
township organization The strong
est argument in favor OF the sys-
tenn is that it brings the local gov
eminent closer to the people and
thereby causes them to take more
interest in public affairs and to
demand value received for the
money which they pay in taxes.
The experience of New England
and many OF the middle states
has completely demonstrated the
value of the system and, while the
law in this state does not dele
gate many needed powers to the
townships, yet in Spokane county
the system has proved a decided
success and the taxpayers would
be loath to return to the old or
der of things, There, as elsewhere,
one Of the most noticeable bene-
fits of township organization is
in the Improvement Of the roads.
The people Of each township levy
their own road tax and then
handle the money raised thereby.
knowing that the money will be
spent i'll improving the roads in
their neighborhood, instead Of in
some distant part of the county or
district, the people do not be
grudge paying an adequate tax.
The work is supervised by one Of
their own neighborS who takes a
personal interest in the work and
can employ the farmers to i'm
pIONC LIC IodtS III llItlI llIliIlc-
diate vicinity and, as a result,
better and more work is done than
by members of regular road
gangs, who have nothing at stake
except to put in their time and
draw down their wages. Having a
comparatively small district to
handle, which he can subdivide.
the supervision can concentrate
his attention and efforts where
they are most required, instead of
trying to scatter his supervision
over an enormous stretch of roads
and sighting all of them.
Each township elects its own as
SCISSOR and, as result, men are
chosen i'll whose judgment the
people have confidence and who
are familiar with the character
and value of the land within their
district.
The whole tendency of town
ship organization is toward the
elimination of graft and extrava-
gance and the development of in
terest in public affairs. 1t brings
home his responsibility to the in
dlvldual voter and having arous-
ed his interest in his local gov
eminent stimulates him to more
active participation in the affairs
of the state and nation. When a.
number of counties have adopted
the system, it will be an easy mat
ter to secure amendments to the
present law increasing the powers
delegated to the townships and
giving to the people the power
to control, in a much larger de
gree, matters Of taxation and an
preparations for local improve
mentS and current expenses.
organization is a step
toward a more economical and eff |
ficient form of local government.

FlglC OF the eleven hentucKlanS
recently indicted by a United

That is the heinous offense. The
facts are simply these. Two or
three years ago these men, who
are excellent citizens of Grant

high in the good opinions Of their
neighbors, persuaded one of their
neighbors to haul his white leaf
tobacco back from the railroad
station where he had taken it and
consigned it to a commission bro
ker in Cincinnati, Ohio. just across
the state line. For merely persuad-
ing a fellow friend and neighbor
INTO withdrawing his products
from the railroad's custody, which
the shipper, the neighbor, had a
perfect legal right to do. and
where he had taken it and CON
signed it to point in another
state under the mistaken notion
hat the planters were no longer
holding their tobacco, these eight
men have been indicted and con

had been consigned to any town
or city in Kentucky, the indict-
ment and convictions could not
have been, under the Sherman Act.
