Impressive Service for Miss

The funeral service of Miss Geneva
Shields held yesterday afternoon in

one of the saddest in the recent his

passing, girl in the bloom of life,
suddenly cut off by the treacherous
waters of the river, was felt by all
the large crowd in attendance and
by the people in all the cities along
the HarbOr The service was conduct
ed by Rev. F.. x. Howard, rector of
sisted by Rev. F.. F. w. Greene of
St. Andrews. After a very impress
siye service at the church the body
was inferred in Fern Hill cemetery,
scores of people following the re-
mains for the last sad rites at the
grave. The pail bearers were: Thom-

George Palmer and Don Kellogg of

VALUATIONS
County Assessor Jones Com
pletes Assessment hoi.
for 1911
INCREASE OVER 1910
Board of Equalization Should
Be Attended By Every
Taxpayer
INCREASE OVER 1910

Equalization of the assessment OF
personal property in Chehalis county
will be begun by the county board Of
equalization at MOntesanO, August I,
and will occupy about three weeks,
according to an announcement made
Tuesday. County Assessor F. Z. Jones
has completed his work of assessing
the property of the county, and has
compiled the totals of all classes Of
property.
BY Assessor Jones report the per-
sonal property of the county is valued
at total of $4,111,5S5. This does
not include valuation of about
100000 placed on public utility cor
porations, which will be added to the
above !otal. Total exemptions on
personal property is $S12,501, leaving
a total assessed personal property
valuation of S3,3O5,OS4.
Some Of the Items.
Among the items appearing in the
noted; There are 2,727 horses in
the county, valued at $163972, or an
average of $50; 5,769 cattle are val
ued at S91,961, or an average OF S16
per head, and 3,410 mich cows are
valued at an average of SIS; poultry is
valued at SS,11S; 1873 autos are worth
which they valued at S16,644; LOIS
pianos and similar instruments are
valued at $94,S44; household furniture
reaches a total valuation of S272,391,
and diamonds, jewelry and fire arms
are given valuation of s5S,197.
A total of 74,69S,OOO feet of lum-
Der is valued at 100000 and 42,253,-
900 feet of saw logs at 1927 ,265. Log
ging outfits are valued at a total of
$299,007; merchandise stocks at s564.-
522; manufacturing plants at $595, ,932;
and the capital stocks of the banks of
the county at total of $256,S76.
AS real estate is only assessed in
even numbered years, the assessment
this year only comprises personal
property, and, according to Assessor
Jones, the increase in this class of
property over 1910 is about 100000
or q per cent. Every taxpayer should
study this report and endeavor to dis
cover whether or not he is getting a
square deal. and if he thinks not he
should attend the meeting of the coun-
t. board of equalization and make his

The assessment just completed is
probably as fair a one as has been or
will be made in Chehalis county. yet
in the very nature of our system. nun
dreds of inequalities will be found
and always will be found while the
plan of taxing personal property is
continued The only way the Herald
can conceive to render this inequality
as light as possible is for every tax
payer to attend the meetings OF the
board of equalization and scrutinize
his neighbor's detail list, unless, as
is the law in some states, the personal
tax lists are required to be published.
In the absence of such a law, the
knowledge that every taxpayer was to
overhaul the list might deter some of
the notorious perjuring that is now
being done by people who shrek with
horror at triflng misdemeanors
Most men are willing to pay their
just proportion of the burdens of gov
ernment, but human hogs are to be
found in all walks of life, hence the
wOuld-be honest taxpayer is confront
ed with the horns of the dilemma;
either pay more than his share, or lie
like a gentleman-and his neighbor
If these reflections will insure large
attendance at the meetings of the
board of equalization, their object will
be attained, and some of those who
for the first time notice such things
will be startled at the apparent abject
poverty of some of their wealthy
neighbors.

SPOKANE WINS
RATE CASES
Back Haul Charge is Virtually
Eliminated by Commerce
Commission

y Aoiil.NG1 ON, ID. g., JulI %
IN what are known as the Spokane
Rono-Pacifc Coast cases, the inter-
ordered material reductions in freight
Ia es from the East to points betN cen
Denver and the Western terminals
Of the transcontinental railroads.
For many years the railroads have
cXacted from shippers TO intermediate
points, such as Spokane and Reno,
higher rates on Eastern freights than
were charged for the much longer
hauls to Tacoma, Seattle, San Fran.
cisco and other Pacific Coast points.
The theory has been that the rail-
roads must meet water competition
to the Pacific Coast. The higher
rates to intermediate points, arbitrar-
ly fixed, have been defended by a
comparison with the coast rates, plus
theoretical back haul from the
coast to the inland stations along the
line.
The commission recognizes the
right of a railroad to meet water COM
petition to Pacific Coast points, but
practically wipes out the back haul
rate to inter-Rock Mountain terri
tory. 1t lays down what it considers
would be fair and just rates to various
freight zones in the West and gives
the railroads until October Is to ad-
just their tariffs accordingly.
The commission also lays down the
important principle that hereafter
railroads will not he permitted TO fix
arbitrary market limits, and that here
after commercial conditions, rather
than the will of railway traffic man
ayers, shall control rates on trans
continental transportation.
The decisions are of far-reaching
importance They affect directly all
freight rates between the Atlantic
ocean and the Pacific Coast. Partic-
ularly, they affect the rates in the
territory lying between Denver and
Pacific Coast points. Hereafter the
rates paid by shippers will be govern
ed by strict Interpretation of the
long and short haul clause.
The commission holds in the So
called Reno case. that traffic originat-
ing at Chicago and in Chicago terri
tory, moving under commodity rates.
may have rate : per cent higher
to intermediate points than that i'm
posed on freight originating in Chi
cago and Chicago territory, destined
to the Pacific Coast terminals. From
Buffalo-Pittsburg territory the rates
may rise above those demanded from
the same points to Pacific Coast ter
minals to the extent Of - per cent;
while from New York and trunk line
territory trunk rate charges shall not
exceed % per cent. over Pacific Coast
terminal rates.
