Fairness to H0me-Owners.

Many Of our citizens whose prop
erty has been subjected to local i'm
provcmentS, have learned it is the
part Of wisdom to back up their writ
ten protests before the City Council
by the personal presence of the
signcrS ut the time of hearing; other
wise the protests may be ignored,
or something else done with them
which Will render the protests of
slignt avail. This has been the posi-
ton of tine STANDARD for a long
time: arriving at this conclusion
from Occular demonstration. The
property owners residing along East
Bay avenue have had a strenuous
experience TO escape from hardShipS
in the matter of local assessments,
and probably would have failed if SO
many of the interested parties had
not personally appeared from time
to time to emphasize their written
protests. a large majority OF the
abutting property owners did not
want to incur the expense in the
midst Of a final depression, espec-
tally so late in the season, which
would likely mean confscation to
numerous home-ownerS. Two MEM
bers of the Council seemed anxious
to push this project ahead over the
protests of persons interested. 1t
does seem unfair that we have a law
by which such measures can be init
ated by mere resolution without any
petition and then require the pro-
testants to procure signatures of a
majority of the owners respecting
the frontage, when the majority may
embrace non-residents who are not
accessible and whose property is I'M
improved. Ed. Henderson, who ap-
peared for his mother, Mrs. Noble,
one of the owners, after the adjourn
ment of late regular meeting of
the Council. remarked that such a
law is fiendish, that men whose ef-
forts brought about such legislation
ought to be watched.
The occasion rarely arises when it
is necessary or advisable, from the
standpoint of honesty and fairness,
to proceed with such projects with
out first consulting at least a ma
jority Of the resident owners in the
improvement distric. whose property
is sought to be assessed. 1t looks as
if there might be something back of
the whole scheme which will not
bear the light of day. 3
Many of our best citizens are be-
ginning to think that the city ought
to pay One-half of the cost and ex-
Ipense incident to such improvements,
as the general public use the high
ways improved or unimproved Of
tener than the property owners. II
it be said the city general fund is not
able to bear the EXPENSE; then don t
make the improvement until it shall
be able. There is no justice in i'm
posing such burdens all at once. 1t
is bad enough to take these hard
ships in installments. If the city
were required to bear a reasonable
part of the expense the municipal
Council would be more cautious
about imposing these assessments
Then again it must be borne in mind
after the streets have been improved
then comes the expense, of keeping
then clean and fit to travel upon, fol
which all the property in the city i.
taxed. Make haste slowly or repent
at leisure. Why not pause until W,
find out where we are at?

Christian Sci cree and Its Critics.

religious, whatever else may be
claimed for it, neither are it's prac-
tees scientific, that through a blum
der Mrs. Eddy stumbled on to a force
which she and her followers have sue
cessfully used as physical healing
agent, wholly divorced from biblical
religious teachings that are used by
Christian Scientists to pOpularize
their methods of treating sin and
disease. The vital question as it
presents itself to us, is not material
whether the doctrines were discOv-
cred accidentally or otherwise, as
long as it does business and accomp-
fishes results regarding the better
ment of mankind, spiritually and
physically. Many of the greatest in
ventiOnS were discovered accidental
ly. such as the telescope, printing,
gunpowder, the automatic lever and
countless others. Experiments have
often resulted in important astro-
nomical discoveries for which the
parties experimenting were not look :
ing
Christian Science healers do not
claim to be mental healers until we
understand by the term mental the
operation of one universal mind,
which they designate as truth and
constitutes the whole universe; and
if this be correct there is no place for
sin, error and disease. Adhering to
this premise with devout consistency,
they claim they have accomplished
most gratifying results. However,
in this materialistic age it is hard to
convince the suffering average man
there is no sensation in matter, and
its unrealty. Still people more and
more are beginning to find out that
the condition of the human mind has
greater effect upon the physical body
than our ancestors were willing to
allow. A learned physician of the
old school in a recent issue of q Lon
don medical periodical claims that
scrofula and blood diseases are first
in the mind before they express their
conditions in the body. Even Mrs.
Eddy admits that in the present
stage of the development of her prop
uganda dentistry and surgery may
be necessary under certain circum-
stances. Let the investigation pro-
coed along all lines of progress; the
good and true will eventually be
evolved and the dross will be elimi-
mated. The happiness and welfare of
mankind should be the sole end in
view.

As we have had occasion to say be
fore. our county has cause to feel Il
pride n its candidates for the popu-
lar branch OF the Legislature
Messrs. Blakc-.nc and Cannon. All
the qualifications specially claimed
for MIR. B}akesire apply rs well to Mr..
Cannon, Who is a man among men Of
fine reputation, commanding ability
and sterling worth.
Mr.. Cannon was born on a farm in
Sullivan county, New York, on
March 9Th. 1913: moved with his pa
rents to Wisconsin in 1919, and came
10 this country, and settled at Ten
mo in 1ssS. While in Wisconsin. he
served with credit in several clerical
positions, and at the breaking out Of
the Civil war, enlisted in the Old
Iron brigade Of the Sixth Wisconsin
regiment, in which he served during
the war On his return to civil life
he filed several city offices, among
which was the mayOralty of his
adopted town Martelle. He came
west in 1888, and has since lived at
Tonino, engaged mostly in clerical
work. He has lately been engaged
in promotion of a plan for develop
ment OF oil wells, OF which plans are
now well advanced for sinking a
prospecting well 1000 feet in a dis
trict that has already developed en-
couraging indications in Grand
Mound district.
Mr.. Cannon is man of fine pres
ence and amiable disposition, a man
who makes friends and retains them,
just such man as we need for pro-
noting beneficial legislation.
Probably at no time have matters
of more Importance been presented
for Legislative action than those al
ready suggested for the next session.
Besides the repeal Of obnoxious laws
that have been enacted by freak Leg
islatures, there is big work to do in
amendment of obscure provisions
and Strengthening out the entangle
ments of conflicting laws. Besides
the election of a United States Sen
ator may assume shape that will re
quire more than partisan lines t.
lead to the best solution. In oul
candidates will doubtless be fount
careful and wise consideration on al
these matters.

The Standard Has Its Say.

Doubtless the WASHINGTON STAND
ARD may, for "once in its life. " be
pardoned for expressing some per-
sonal "reminiscences of its founder,
without the slightest implication of
vanity or conceit of either the hand
or the brain that has guided it for
nearly half century, in its mission
of development manipulating of
new State. 1t will pass simply as
the STANDARDS statement.
On the 18th of next month this
paper will have completed its cycle
of half a century, without suspension
or loss of single issue, nor change
of any kinda record that is prob
ably unequaled for stability in the
United States. The STANDARD feels,
indeed, highly honored by the gene
raj acknowledgement of this fact, and
the many appreciative compliments
that have been accorded its founder
by the State press, resulting in the
appointment of joint committee by
the State Editorial Association en-
bracing the State Historical Society
and the Pioneer Association. who have
taken steps to celebrate the anniver-
sary of this achievement by an ap-
propriate observance in this city on
a date to be fixed about the time

Angle, of the Shelton Journal and
Edward S. Gill, of the Rainier Valley
Record of Seattle, all prominent and
honored representatives of western
journalism.
It may not be amiss for the STAND
ARD to note that while its founder
fully appreciates the honor his asso
ciates are doing him. that had hi
been consulted he would have state(
that no such recognition was neces
sary to indicate or strengthen thu
heart-beats that exist for his fellow
craftsmen and that a simple expires
sion of good will would have amply
served the purpose OF those elaborate
plans, which were as unexpected a
they are in excess the meri
achieved. He looks at his some
what unprecedented labor, as NOR
attributable to environment and dis
position, than a mental activity tina
might make a shorter cut to a lif,
mission.
The STANDARD would take this &C
casion, however, to correct some mis-
apprehensions with regard to its ca
reer. as published by the press. 1
was not the first paper in the Terri
tory of Washington. The Colun,Li
an preceded it by about eight years
which became the Pioneer and after
wards the Pioneer and Democrat
which closed it's career in June 1891
about six months after the STANDARD
began. The Puget Sound Herald ap
peared at Steilacoom the latter par
of the sos and the New North,oes

But the STANDARD was the onl,

Olympia's Big Tax Levy.

Last Monday evening the Council
met in special session to fix the tax
levy for the ensuing year. The rate
was fixed at 1873 mills. 1t is report
ed no person was present in the lob
by to offer suggestions. This doubt
less happened because nobody but
the City Council knew about it.
Nothing was said about this special
meeting at last weeks meeting of
our municipal body. If It be said
the law designates the time for max
ing the levy, of which everybody is
presumed to take notice-whlch is a
violent presumption-as a matter
Of justice to the citizens of our COM
munity, some kind of notice ought to
have been authorized through the
press, or some mention made of the
fact at the last regular session of this
body. 1t is impossible for business
men, property owners and other in
terested parties. to keep in mind
every detail of the requirements of
the law. In Seattle, the levy is a
fraction over fifteen mills and in Ia
coma about twelve mills. Hereto
fore whenever complaint was made
about high tax levieS in Olympia,
the reply came from the party at the
public pie-counter, taxes are no
higher than in Seattle-leaving Ia
coma altogether out of consideration
Now we may expect to hear taxes
are only three and One-half mills
higher here than in Seattle. How
would the argument 60 that Olym-
pia ought to have a case of incest be-
cause Seattle had case of that kind ?
