DECLARES FOR WEST

Continued from Page L.
West Side Senator.

While the resources and indus
tries of the state of Washington are
by nature divided east and west by
the Cascade mountains (two-thirds
of the population of the state resid-
ing on the west side), we commend
the unselfish patriotism of it's citi-
zens in heretofore recognizing that
both the east and west sides, by
reason of their diverse interests, are
entitled to representation in the
United States senate. We congratu-
late the state and especially the
eastern portion thereof, in the able
representation which it now enjoys
in the senate in the person of the
Hon. Wesley L. Jones, and we would
deplOre any circumstance which
might lead to his being superseded
by another. We feel that preced-
ence, fair dealing and a proper rep
resentation of all interests of the
state calls for the choosing of the
successor to the Hon. Samuel H.
Piles from Western Washington.

H. E. Hardesty has returned from
Lake Chelan. He has spent a vaca-
ton of a month at Fields hotel at
the head of the lake. He and Mr..
Field made a six-day jaunt up Bridge
creek, tramping so miles. They saw
a bear, but were unable to get close
enough to take a shot at him. Fish
ing in the mountain streams and
lakes is very good. They went up
as far as Rainy Pass and the Basin.
The last two days were spent in troll
ing ON Lake Chelan where he caught
some bull trout weighing five and
six pounds.

1t is a we'll known fact that the
piano houses have done a very large
business in this county during the
past year ana yet the assessors re-
port shows that there are four less
pianos than there were a year ago.
In view of these facts the following
table possesses very little significance
so far as comparative relations are
concerned. 1t is the report submit
ted by Assessor Osborn to the county
equalization board which has been in
session the first three days of the
week and on which but three kicks
were registered. These were minor
matters and but two were allowed.
One of these resulted from the

It is an old adage that figures
do not lie but the report of the coun-
ty assessor this year indicates that
figures are the biggest liars on earth.
According to this report there are in
Chelan county today less pianos,
horses, sheep, hogs, poultry, vehicles,
bicycles and much other property
than there were a year ago. Unless
the casual observer is informed for
the reason of this discrepancy he
would conclude that Chelan county
is rapidly degenerating into poverty
whereas on the other hand all resi-
dents know to a certainty that there
are few sections in the world where
wealth is increasing at so great rapid
ity.
This paradox is due to the inaugur-
alton of new system of keeping
books in the county assessors Office.
In previous years it has been the GUS
tom to fill in the totals of all taxable
property whether a revenue was de-
rived from it or not. The law al
lows every citizen an exemption from
taxation to the amount of $500 valua-
ton. Entering up in the county as
SCISSORS boks this vast amount of de-
tail and figures on property from
which no revenue is received has been
a source of much labor and expense
hitherto. County Assessor Osborn
this year determined to cut out from
the books all names and property
which are not taxed. AS a result
there arc some $50 less names in his
books this year than last although
the population and the number Of
property holders has increased almost
one-third and for the same reason the
table below shows many items in
which the valuation is apparently less
than it was year ago. These figures
really indicate nothing when placed
in comparison for there is nearly
100000 worth of exemption proper
ty which does not appear in the item
lied totals of the report for this year
The report shows autos increased
from 9 to 33 over last year but even
these figures are deceptive for the
tax list was made up prior to March
1st and most of the autos in this
county have been secured since that
time.

Stand by President.

Continuing Senator Piles said:
with this record before us, with
the greatest legislative achievements
in the history of the country accom-
plished, is there any reason why We
should go back upon the president
we have raised and supported, and
the party which has made it possible
to do so much? 1t is our duty to up
hold the president and to aid him in
his work, to elect men to the legis-
lature who will send men to the SEN
ate who will aid Mr.. Taft in carrying
on his work and make it possible for
him to complete his term as he has
started, and make his administration
one of the most useful and noble
that we have had. And the way to
do this is to stop this talk about dan
gerous candidates. No candidate is
dangerous unless he is a democrat.
And l believe the members of this
convention will do this, and believe
we will send to the next legislature
stalwart and old-fashioned republi-
cans, who will aid President Taft in
the work he has started, and who
will see to it that republican house
is also elected, so that for all time
to come there will never be any but
republican president in the White
! House."
