GERMAN AND G|LMOUR
WERE SURE ELECTED

The light country vote on Tues
day, together with the general
apathy manifest by democrats all
through the campaign, contributed
very largely to the success of the
republican party in Kittitas comfy.
G.. +. Dickson and ]. c. Hub
bell were elected to the Legislature
by good vote and the entire re-
publican ticket, with the exception
of Mr.. Crimp was elected, Gilmour
defeating him for treasurer by
big majority The vote in the
county precincts was very light, in
most precincts not to exceed 50
per cent of the votes went to the
polls. The constant rain: from
early morn until late in the after
noon kept many away, and that in
connection with the general apathy
manifested all through the cam
paign, accounts for the light vote.
The Dawn bows in humble sub
mission to the will of the majority
and trusts that all will be we'll and
that all the new officers elected
will prove efficient and economical
and render a good account of their
stewardship for the time served.

GREAT FUTURE FOR
IRRIGATED APPLES

According to statistics recently
compiled in the Seattle Offices of
Calhoun, Denning & Ewing. the
barrel crop of apples in the United
States has been gradually decreas-
ing for the past fifteen years, COM
ing down from 90, 900, 900 in 1896
to p, OOO,O 900 in 1909. These fig
ures alone show the possibilities
in the future for the irrigated or
chards of the country. The rea-
son for the decreasing of the east
ern barrel crop is said to be the
gradual death of the large eastern
orchards which have kept the mar
ket supplied for so long. Taking
into consideration the ever-inCreas-
ing demand for this popular fruit
it may be readily seen that where
ever they are it will greatly increase
in value as time goes on, and APP

that in few years from now, un-

CITY ENGINEER
SUBMITS REPORT

G.. n, Miller, city engineer sub
mtted an itemzed report in the
proposed water system to the COtn-
ell Monday evening as follows:
BY the use of l6-inch wooden
pipe line, which will deliver 100
gallons of water, per minute, will
b. sufficient for a city of 1000
with daily consumption of l25
gallons per lay per capita, and six
one inch fire str cams going Contn-
uouSlv.
The distributing system will con
sist of IS miles of 4inch pipe, to-
gcther with necessary fire hvdrant
and the net work has been so ar
ranged that double circuit has
been provided in nearly every part
of the city which will deliver water
at so to IS pounds per square inch.

Assuming that the city has a

would give us 200 houses and an

In addition to this the city would
obtain considerable revenue rom
the two railroads and public insti
tutons that would. in my judg
ment, amount to not less than
from 81 900 to 81, 500 per annum
and as the revenue from the sale of
water will corrcspondingly increase.

WHAT IS TRUE THERE
IS ALSO TRUE HERE

The defenders of graft and of
the system under which special
privileges cater to vice are made
monopolies in the hands of the
highest bidders for such privileges
have resorted much To the argu.
ments that the campaign to rid
Seattle of these evils is working to
the injury of the city by advertise
ing to the world the bad conditions
which have prevailed here.
1t is a weak, futile and base ar
gument and has behind it not the
slightest vcStige of reason nor COM
mon sense. 10 an intelligent per-
son it is absurd and ridiculous.
Cities which are corrupt and
contented naturally repel those
who desire to bring their families
into a decent environment. Cities
where public sentiment is strongly
enlisted for the bcttcrment of civic
conditions, where graft is attacked
and the caterers to vice treated as
lawbreakers are precisely the cities
which do attract the better class of
people.
With the inauguration of the
present administration and the APP
pOintment of Wappenstein as chief
Of police, the city of Seattle did
get a considerable Immediate inn
migration. Loose women and
those who prey upon them, and
the general coterie of those who
cater to vice, came here in great
numbers from abroad. 1t is re
ported OH good authority that 5
per cent. of the inmates of the re-
stricted district which was eotab-
lished under the Wappenstein re
ginle came here from points outside
of the city: some of them from as
far down the coast as Los Angeles,
where campaign for deCenCy had
driven them.
The campaign against vice and
graft now on in Seattle has driven
a considerable share of this element
from the city again. There is no
longer an invitation to people OF
the class to come to this city to ply
their vocations under protection of
the polic and on the payment for
such protection of a share of their
takings.
The best advertisement which
this can have, to attract hither
more decent people of character
and means and to repel the crimi-
nal, the parasite and the vicious,
is the advertisement to the world
that vice and crime will never a
gain be permitted to flourish here
under police protection and that
vice syndicates will never again be
permitted to exist here in cooper
alton and partnership with the Of
ficers of the law |.

bluth for taking deposits for a
bank which they knew to he insol

There appearing to be miscon-
Ception of the methods of the state
tax commission in assessing rail
road property, Commissioner I. ID
Rockwell makes the following
statement:
Our method of determining the
assessment upon a railroad in any
given county is by holding hear
ings and making a thorough inves-
tigation by which we ascertain the
actual value of the various classes
of general property in that county.
By comparing this with the assess
ed value fixed by the county assess
or we determine at what percentage
of the true value the property III
that county is being assessed. We
then assess the operating property
of each railroad in the county a
corresponding percentage of its true
value as determined after exhaus-
tive hearings, the proportion OF the
total main line in the state lying
in a given county being allotted TO
that county. Incorporating prop
erty is still assessed by the coun-
ty assessors. Such determination
is made as to each county in the
state, hearings being held in all.
Our work has systematized tax
alton and one county can no longer
throw a part of its Just burden up
on other counties. We determine
the general average or ratio for the
state, and then equalize the various
counties at this, bringing the coun-
ties below it up to it and those a
bove it down, so that each pays its
Just and equitable proportion of
the states taxes.
Exclusive of railroads, real pro-
perty in the state of Washington
bears an assessed valuation for 1910
of 1892, 766, 995, according to sta
tistics prepared by the state tax
commission. In 1905 the assessed
valuation was only SPA OS7 $40.
In 1891 it was $500, S67,S42 but
fell much lower every year UP to
1906.
