Primghar, May 25.-Primghar filed
its remonstrance today in the county
seat fight that has been pending here
for three months.
On March 30 the city Of Sheldon, To-
Gated at the west edge Of the county
filed petition containing 2.4S5 names,
OF these Primghar claims forty three
are either non-residents or not voters
and 500 others on the Sheldon petition
have signed the Primghar remon-
STRANGE, reducing Sheldon's legal petit
TONERS to 1,4S0.
The remonstrance filed by Primghar
contains 1894 names, giving Primghar
a majority OF 1,914 on the face of the
remembrance. Primghar admits. how
evr, that some names have been dupli-
Gated on its list caused by securing re-
signing of remonstrances after parties
had signed circumstances and then
signed the Sheldon petition. but the
duplication will but slightly reduce the
total, leaving Primghar with more than
twice as many signatures ia Sheldon.
The contest has been waged continue
ously for eleven weeks. and from six to
fifty automobiles have been daily In
service by each side in the solicitation
for names on petition and remon-
STRANGE. Had Sheldon filed the largest
list of names the supervisors would
have been compelled to call an election
to be held year from next November
at the general election, to vote on the
question of removal The result shows
how decisive is the sentiment of the
people that the county seat of govern
ment remain at the place selected thir-
ty-eight years ago, in the center of the
county.

UNSOLD CEMETERY
LOTS ARE TAXABLE
Commission Holds Even Mausoleum
Must Pay on Unoccupied
Portion of Space

OLYMPIA, Aug. I'm an opinion
to the assessor of Pierce county the
state tax commission says that lands
held for cemetery purposes are to be
assessed as all other property unless
the lots have been sold and are in
use for burial purposes.
Thus, occupied graves are exempt
from taxation, but lands held merely
to be sold for such purposes are not
exempt and in event such property
has not been placed on the tax rolls
the assessor is to bring it before the
county board of equalization.
The point was raised in Tacoma
over the Tacoma Compartment Maui
soleum, belonging to the Tacoma Maui
solemn Association The board says
that the land in question is taxable
in such proportion as the unsold
crypts or compartments bear to the
whole number in the structure.

GUS impulse from the cells spinal cord

POWER OF A STATE,

My observations as private
citizen and my experience rs
public official have taught me
that the average citizen Of the
Empire State knows less about
the commonwealth in which he
lives than he knows about the
Andes or river Nile. 1t may be
difficult for New York to elect a
United States senator, but 1t Is
comparatively easy for New
York to prove her right to be re-
garded as a mighty empire that
throbs with energy and enter
prises. and through her vast
trade. her commerce. her schools
and universities, her teachers,
authors. artisans. preachers and
statesmen contributes with
prodigal hand toward the civili-
cation of the world and the
wealth and power Of the western
hemisphere. Governor John A.

DREAM OF PEACE.

That the fear of revolutions at
home. Of the growth Of the anti
monarchial spirit in Europe. has
much to do with this decline Of
war Is. Of course. true, yet the
fact remains that war today Is
less than l per cent as destruc-
tive as during the middle ages.
From the things already accom-
plished we may gather the cheer.
ing promise Of still better things
yet to come. Instead of ridicul-
ing the peace congress as an idle
dream Of Missionaries let us not
forget that in all ages Of his
tory the Josephs. the dreamers,
brought ultimately blessings to
mankind. Life would not be
worth living were it not for the
dreams and hopes Of idealists
for the coming Of days which
will be better than ours.-Rev.
