Union Building Itself All Right.

The Cantrill committee. after carefully
investigating the Union building, is con-
WINGED that the building itself is all right,
but that the manner in which it has been
cluttered up by the government with in
flammable stuff of all kinds. and the way
in which the fire escapes have been block
ed. renders II probable in the event OF
fine there would be serious loss Of life
One Of the members Of the Subcommittee

STATE TAXES
ARE HEAVY
Chehalis County Will Pay to
State More Than it Costs
to Run County.

OLYMPIA, Sept. 26.-The state
tax levy is fixed at $5,O62.1 or high
er than ever before
Chehalis county is made the goat
again, the state board of taxation
claiming it was assessed but 26.17
per cent of the true value and so ad-
ded about so per cent to the county
figures to bring the county assess
ment up to the state average of about
40 per cent.
Chehalis countys total state tax is
fixed at $163,376.
Although the state tax levy in Che
halls county is 100000, a reduction
of about 900 from last years levy,
many business men express them
selves as dissatisfied, and think an
injustice has been done Chehalis
county this year, though somewhat
better treatment was secured.
The state board of taxation has
fixed the valuations of counties at
1885, per cent as against 1925 per
cent last year. The board advanced
Chehalis county's valuation from $18,-
9OS,OOO to $2S,S21,12s. Chehalis is
one of the five counties in the state
that was jumped, the others being
Grant, Kitsap, Okanogan and Skagit.
The levy for the state is $50 mills,
and the total amount to be raised in
the state is $5,063,167. The levy in
1910 was SAB mills, and a total Of
$4,920,926 was raised
County Assessor Jones declares he
is satisfied and discourages any talk
of litigation in the matter. Since the
county is saving $4,000 it is bet
ter to let the matter stand than take
it into court, he declares. Business
men generally are inclined to wait
about expressing themselves in the
matter until full reports have been
secured

Man in the Case Admits His
Responsibility for the
Girls Condition
LETTERS ARE IMPORTANT
State is Expected to Close
this Afternoon and Case
Go to Jury Saturday

MONTESANO, Sept. 27.-Sensa-
tional testimony, for the most past
unprintable, marked the progress of
the trial of Drs. B. l.. and Mayme
MacLafferty, the Aberdeen physicians
charged with bringing about the
death of Goldie Ness through an op-
Grafton. The testimony of Teddy
Disch, a Tacoma young man, who is
blamed in connection with the case,
was introduced during the after
noon, and was of rather sensational
nature.
Miss Flora Roberts and DR.. B. e.
Fleming, of the Aberdeen General
hospital, where Miss Ness was EN-
ployed, were the only witnesses call.
ed during the morning session.
Mrs. Estelle Lewis, a nurse at the
Grays Harbor hospital, Aberdeen,
stated that Goldie Ness was sent to
that institution at the direction of
the Drs. MacLafferty. She stated
that the operation was performed at
q time when it would seem necessary.
According to the witness, DR.. B. l..
MacLafferty performed the operation
while Mrs. MacLafferty administered
the anisthetic.
Teddy Disch admitted on the stand
that he was responsible for the con-
dition of the unfortunate girl, and 81,
testimony developed the fact that he
had had correspondence with DIS
MacLafferty about the case, and that
the letters We're in the possession of
the prosecuting attorney. The de-
fense insisted upon the letters being
read, and one was produced from DR..
Mayme MacLafferty to Disch, in
which the doctor informed him, sew
eral days before the operation, that
it would be necessary to remove a
dead foetus from the girl in order to
save her life.
The question of introducing all the
correspondence between the parties
will be argued tomorrow morning, and
i. is thought the state will close it's
case tomorrow afternoon. The de-
fense is expected to consume two
days, and the case will probably go
to the jury by Saturday afternoon.

Difference in Prices Paid By
Consumers From Those
Received by Farmer
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
An Investigation in New York
Astonishes Farmers. Food
Trust In Control

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-(Spec-
sold forty eight million dollars worth
Of potatoes in New York city last
ear but they were not worth forty
eight millions to the Pennsylvania
farmers. That is what the people of
New York city paid for them. The
farmers got three and three quarter
millions"
This statement was made by mem
bers of the Pennsylvania grange who
recently went to New York city to
Investigate the market conditions.
These grangers discovered that
cod storage chicken, weighing a
pound and half, sold for a dollar
in Madison avenue. For that same
kind of chicken the farmers receiv-
ed twelve and half cents a pound.
The farmers paid vendor five cents
for an apple, and told him they would
let him have a barrel of apples for
two dollars. Eggs for which the farm
ers received twenty-five cents brought
forty-fve cents when sold to the con-
sumer.
This vast difference between what
the farmers get and what the con-
sumers pay represents the unearned
profits that flow into the Golfers of
the railroads, the express companies,
and the food trusts. The railroads get
theirs by charging excessive rates
in order to pay dividends on watered
stock. The express companies get
theirs by reason of the fact that one
supine Republican administration
after another has refused to submit
them to a decent regulation, and the
food trusts get theirs by maintaining
unnecessary storage houses through
which they manipulate the supply
and thus create artificial shortages"
Nearly all the perishable food sup
plies which go to the cities are car
ried by the express companies, or by
the equally monopolistic refrigerator
lines of the food trusts, thus making
the consumer pay double haulage
bill. AS soon as they reach the city
they are turned over to the food trusts
and placed in storage, where they are
kept until a Shortage" is created.
Then up go prices.
"If all the eggs now held in cold
storage in New York city were
thrown on the market tomorrow the
price of eggs would tumble two-thirds
said one of the grangers who investi-
gated the situation.
What is the remedy?
Democratic members of Congress
believe that one remedy lies in
Strengthening the interstate com
merce laws to enable the government
to reach and Jail some of the owners
o. the criminal food trusts and trans
portation monopoles.
1t is significant that the farmers,
for the first time in years, are invest
igating the high price question They
know that while their own products
are bringing more than they former
II did, there still is a tremendous gap
between what they get and what the
consumer pays. They propose to
find out where the trouble lies, and it
is more than certain that their in
vestigation will lead them straight
to the headquarters of the unpunish-
ed trust magnates which control the
railroads, the express companies and
/ the food monopoles.
