THE G0vERNoR,s MESSAGE.

The Times prints in extenso the
biennial message Of Governor Burke
70 the legislature. AS state paper
I Is such an Improvement over his
drst crude message that It scarcely
seems to have come from the same
source. It is long and much Of the
verbosity could have been eliminated
without injury to the merits. Some
things which the governor takes a
column to express could have been
said in a parasr:1h. The length of
the discussion Of q particular topic
10 not in harmony with the import
ance Of that topic to others and to
the message as a whole. This would
lead the casual critic to the conclu-
sion that the message was more a.
compilation than a treatise on state
Affairs. r.
Some Of the recommendations Of
the governor are commendable; 9TH
efs are not. Some of the things
which he recommends have been in
party platforms apd, in fact. some
Of his arguments for their inactment
INTO laws is that they are platform
pledges. We have no quarrel with
tho governor on this score, but those
who initiate such measures and not
those who recommend them second
hand should have the credit.
The governor favors a good roads
law ana the Times did the same thing
bsfore while tho governor was yet in
Dfivate life. He advocates other
measures which the Times has in
Aossed and advocated in the past and

One Of the governors measures Of
watch be claims tho originality, 10 q
isw giving the governor tho power to

Assessment Of Property.
In my message to the legislature
in 1907 and again in 1909, called at
tention to the necessity Of amending
our laws on assessment and taxation
so that all property might be assessed
at it's actual value, that while the
present law requires all property to
be assessed at its actual value. 1t 10
q matter Of common knowledge that
1t IL not, and that II It we're, officers
salaries based upon the assessed val
uation would be too high and the in
crease In the mill tax would be I'M
necessarily burdensome upon the peo-
pie, and that legislation furnishing
the machinery necessary to secure the
assessment Of property 1t its actual
value would also require amend
ments to the law regulating officers
salaries based upon the assessed val
uation Of the property and amend
ments to the mill tax. BY the term
mill tax, mean, Of course, the tax
levied for the maintenance of our
educational institutions.
The platform of the dominant party
In the last campaign contained 4
plank in favor of providing by law
for tax commissioner. I believe
the growth and development and en-
ormous increase in the taxable prop
erty in the state In the last few years
will now warrant the legislature in
providing for tax commissioners
whose duty It will be to look after the
assessments, see that they are Just

ECONOMY URGED
BY CHAMP CLARK

Kansas City, Mo-. Nov. Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of rep
rescntatives delivered the principal
address tonight before the Trans
Mississippi commercial congress. At
ter commencing the non-partizan
spirit of the Trans Mississippi con-
eress in formulating and presenting
its recommendation to the national
congress. Speaker Clark explained
why government economy was nee
essary. He said the serious ques-
ton in beginning new enterprises
OIL in greatly augmenting old ones
was to devise ways and means to
raise the money needed. He said
the disbursements of the federal gov

enues and that our annual apprO-
priations have passed the billion
dollar mark"

STONE OUT FOR
CHAMP CLARK

ST. Louis, Nov. 9-SenatOr Stone
has announced himself in favor of
Speaker Clark for the Democratic
presidential nomination. In this he
is in direct variation with his COL
league. senator Reed, who an
nounced some months ago that he
considered himslf and the Missouri
democracy pledged to support J. w.
Folk.
Senator Stones staement, which
he dictated, follows:
Il am for any good Missouri DEM
ocrat for the nomination for the ex-
allied Office of president who is and
always has been a loyal party man
and who apparently has a good
chance to receive the nomination.
Il think Speaker Champ Clark
fills these requirements in every par
ticular. He has never failed to sup
port his party and stand by his prin-
ciples without equivocation or apOl-
ogy.
He and ! have not always agreed
as to some matters pertaining to
party policies.
Il think he has as good chance
as any man for the nomination. !
am. therefore. for Clark first and
continuously as long as believe and
lie thinks he has a chance for the
nomination.

STATE BOARD
FIXES TAX LEVY

On the assessed valuation of the
property of the state the state board

for state purposes at $50 mills, but

valuation of the property the aver
age rate of levy for the state taxes

mills. as is shown by a series Of
figures compiled from records on
file with the state tax commission
by secretary +. j. Koors. On the
basis of actual value the levy would
vary in the various counties accord
ing to the figures from IS mills in
Franklin county to FPS mills in Fer
ry county. but the highest levy found
is less than one half of the levy for
state purposes based on the assessed
valuation. In Kittitas county there
has been levied for state purposes
a tax of $94.294, and it is shown
that the actual value of the real and
personal property, exclusive OF steam
railroads, electric railways and tel
egraph lines is $26,025. 1870, and
adding to this the value OF the
steam railroads, amounting to $19-
2ll,9S7 and the real value of the
telegraph lines amounting to $64,-
9S7 makes a total of $45.3O2,704 as
actual value of all property both
real and personal in the county. The
levy in kittitas county based on
these figures would be 2.S mills.

ALDR|CH MONEY
PLAN IS SCORED

Kansas City, Nov. l6-Champ
Clark digressed from his set speech
tonight before the trans-mississipp
congress and expressed his dis
approval Of the proposed changes in
the nations currency and banking
system, as outlined by former
United States senator Aldrich, the
chairman of the national monetary
commission.
United States senator James Reed
also spoke in opposition to the pro-
posed plan.
Laying no claim whatever to the
character of financier," said
Speaker Clark. 81 am utterly oppos-
ed to the creation, chartering or
authorization of any institution that
will deliver into the hands of few
men. ! care not who, or where they
live. the powers of life and death,
not only over the banks of the coun-
try. but over every business in the
land.
Financiers Cited Against 1t.
Even financiers of renown diff
fer widely as the poles on the Al
drich plan. Many great financiers
indorse it. some very emphatically,
some very mildly and others very
doubtingly and hesitatingly. Such
eminent and successful business men
as James J. Hill and Leslie NJ. Shaw
secretary of the treasury under two
presidents, are openly against il. on
the ground that the Aldrich plan is
essentially a monopoly.
Mr.. Shaw says il would be so
profitable to few men who would
really run it that they could we'll
afford to pay the entire national
debt for perpetual charter, assert
ing that it would make them absO-
lutcly masters of the American bus
mess world.
Now. if such eminent financiers
as Aldrich. Vreeland and Laughlin
on the one hand and Drs. Hill and
Shaw on the other disagree so rad
ically on this subject would we not

patriotic men to wait long enough at
least to hear both sides of this i'm
portant and far-reaching matter be-
fore making up our minds? So far
it has been largely in the nature of
an eX-parte proceeding. Only the
advocates of the plan have had an
inning.
He Advises Caution.
Why. then. rush pell-mell into
such an important matter? why
render a verdict prematurely? Why
not take tme-not too much. not
too little. but ample time--thoroush-

this undertaking. to be certain who

To be conferred on this concern. to
invite all with information to testify
before committees of the house and
senate. vigorously to cross-eXamine
them. to discover "jokers.' if any,

ourselves as we ought TO be in
formed. touching a problem OF such
intense interest to all the American
people now living and untold mil
lions yet unborn?

of the Aldrich plan. Quite to the
contrary. certainly will vote
against it if an attempt is made to
rash il through under whip and

tilated and the light let in. The

is to vote against any bill or resolu-
ton about which ! have not had OPP

ents the benefit of the doubt"

NO SEASICKNESS ON THIS VESSEL

Philadelphia Ledger: The gigantic
900-foot steamer 1mperator, now being
built at Hamburg, Germany, for the
Hamburg-American Line, will, when
completed, not only be the largest
vessel i'm the world, but will i'm addi-
tion insure her passengers against
| the terrors of seasickness. This
happy condition is to be brought
about by the installation of the
Frahn decks on board the monster,
/ a device that reduces the motion Of
ship to a minimum. 1t has been
tried out by the company on. a small
ship and, so it is averred, has reduced
the oscillation in heavy weather from
siXty-three to three degrees. In the
, case of craft of the size of the I'm
perator it is believed that these three
degrees will be eliminated altogether.
The colossus will reach this country
in the spring of 1913. The exact date
OF her launching has not been set.
She is $4,000 tons displacement and
nearly 900 feet in length. There are
nine decks above the water line. She
will not be fast boat, being built
more for solid comfort than great
speed. Her time across the Atlantic
will be in the neighborhood of seven
days. Her engines are of the recipro.
eating type. She has accommoda-
tions for 1850 passengers of all
classes and carries a crew of 1000.
Among the special features of her
construction are a reproduction of
ancient Roman baths in bronze. mar
bic and ivory, a roof garden, gym.
nasium, swimming pool and a rath
skeller, besides library, lounging
rooms, and so forth.
