Says Movement Of Troops
Unprecedented in Con-
ditions Attending
TALKS RECIPROCITY
Declares Measure as Framed
and Standing Alone One
Sided and Incomplete

| SPOKANE, March Ex-senator
Miles Poindexter sees no war
cloud. Neither does he think the
United States will have any trouble
with either Mexico or Japan, and says
the government military movement
is apparently disintegrating as rap
idly as it appeared"
The senator expresses the belief
that tariff bill containing the reci-
procity feature will be passed at the
extra session.
! Senator and Mrs. Poindexter reach
ed Spokane at 9:25 last evening over
the SOO-SpOkane. A delegation greet
ed the senator at the depot, the pro-
gressive republican club having sent
a special committee to meet him.
Both Senator and Mrs. Poindexter
looked well and pleased at arriving
In Spokane, and lost no time in going
to their home on East Indiana avenue
They will remain in the city two
weeks, after which the senator will
go to the Coast, prior to leaving for
Washington to attend the extra ses-
sion opening April 4.
"Delighted to get back" said the
senator. I'm fact, | felt better the
minute we got Off the train" Then,
taking up the discussion of questions
of national importance, he said:
Il take it for granted there will be
no invasion of Mexico by our troops
Certainly no such move would be un-
dertaken without action by congress
and there is not the slightest prob
ability that congress would declare
war against Mexico or authorize an
armed intervention on our part to sup
press the rebellion now in progress
there.
''ln fact, notice in the last day or
two apparently authoritative state
mentS from the war department and
other administrative sources that the
concentration of our troops and ships
on the Mexican border has been sus-
pended.
Not in Private interests
There can, OF course, be no OBJ
lection to the employment of such
force as may be necessary 10 preserve
our position OF neutraliy and TO
prevent iilibustering; and while We
should, of course, not only with MeXi-
co, but with all the world, let it be
clearly understood that American cit-
zens everywhere are to be accorded
due process of law, certainly we are
under no obligation to subject the
army and navy of the United States
to the use of any private interest in
Mexico.
1T would be unworthy of the United
States to attempt to suppress the
among the Mexican people.

CORPORATIONS MAY
PAY UP IF BEHIND
Legislature Passed Law Providing for
Receipt of Delinquent Taxes Along
With $1Oo Penalty

OLYMPIA, March 1S-The legisla-
ture which has just closed has given
corporations which have failed to pay
their annual taxes an opportunity to
come in and pay up. A law was pass
ed in 1907 authorizing the striking
of the names of defunct corporations
from the books. In 1909 the legisla-
ture passed bill giving the corpora
tions six months to pay up in, if in
arrears with their licenses, upon the
payment of penalty Of $3.50 month
and an additional penalty of $25, but
in 1911 the legislature passed a law
giving them more time and providing
for the payment of penalty of 500
for those who have neglected to pay
the state tax In addition the law
provides that a corporation may re-
tain it's name if it will pay up it's
money. no matter how long it may
be in arrears.

STATE TAXES
TOWER HIGH
Legislature Mixup Makes
Decided Muddle of Finances
For Next Two Years
MONEY IDLE, TAXES HIGH
Levy is Fixed While Funds
Are Uuappropriated--H
Levies Prevail
MONEY IDLE, TAXES HIGH

OLYMPIA, March, 1S.-According to
lawyers whose opinions are generally
respected. the financial mixup of the
last week of the legislative session
has resulted in fixed levy of $780,
600, which the taxpayers of the state
must raise, but which, they say, has
not been appropriated according to
the constitution.
The bill for supporting the univer-
sity, state college and each of the
normal schools originally provided
that the money thus raised by taxa
ton was appropriated to maintenance,
equipment and new buildings for the
respective schools.
That would have taken the bien-
nial battle for appropriations out of
the legislature, but the plan was i'm
possible, as the constitution provides
that no money can be paid out of the
state treasury except on appropria-
ton and the amount appropriated
must be expressed.
Double Legislation Makes MuddIe
The bill was then amended and the
appropriation feature was probably
eliminated The two years apprOpria
tiOns for the schools We're provided
in the budget but the levy feature, the
demand on the taxpayers to produce
$l000,0O0 year, was retained and
has become lew.
On top of this fixed levy of $4,000
900 for the ensuing two years. the leg
islature added another fixed levy for
an equal amount, that of 1 mill per
annum for the permanent highway"
fund.
$1,50C,o0 to Lie Unused
Here is apparently another case
where the taxpayers must pay vast
sums into the treasury that can not be
used for some time. A new law trans
fers from the ''public highway fund"
into the permanent highway fund.-"
S5S000o; a one-mill levy this year will
cause the taxpayers to pay, say $780,
eco; one mill levy next year on high
er valuations. say 81 100000: total for
IS fund, $2.500,000 The legislature
appropriated from this fund for the
years only 100000 leaving a
balance of $1,500,o00.
This the taxpayers must pay, but
which must lie idle in bank until a
further appropriation can be made
two years hence.
Mill Levy Not Mandatory.
The legislature did not change the
old road levy, the public highway"
tax, from mandatory annual rate of
one mill fiat to discretionary mot
to exceed one-half MILL and the state
board of equalization may be able to
pull through this year without max
ing any levy for the public highway
fund.

WILL TEST LAW FIRST

NORTH YAKIMA, March 1S.-Sena-
tor Frank j. Allen, the father of the
commission bill, has set on foot a
plan to test the constitutionality of the
law He doesn't want North Yakima
to go to the trouble and expense of
voting bonds or making public i'm
provements under law which might
later be declared unconstitutional. A
petition is to be circulated at once,
calling for an election to decide on
the government by commission plan.
Then some tax payer will get out an
Injunction and the matter will be put
up to the supreme court.

THE EMPLOYERS
LIABILITY LAW
Compensation Act Seems to
Suit Lumber Manu-
facturers
NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD
Trade Papers Says Law Is
Good If Honestly Admin
istered
NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD

So much uneasiness has been eX-
pressed on Grays HarbOr concerning
the evil effects of the employers liza
bility law enacted by the recent leg
islature that the following, from the
West Coast Lumberman on the SUBJ
ject will be of interest:
''The legislature of the state of
Washington has passed an Employers
Liability law that, while not altogeth-
er satisfactory, there seems to be a
general feeling that the passage Of
this bill was the best that could be
hoped for under present conditions.
One of the unfortunate things met
in the passage of this bill was the
vast amount of ignorance in statis-
tical way as to the cost of insurance
of this character. The bill just pass
ed is, therefore, experimental, and no
doubt will have to be amended by
succeeding legislatures. The First
Aid fund provision would have re-
suited in piling up large amount
of money that might become source
of corruption and speculation. In one
section of the bill it is provided that
in case an employe is injured be-
cause of defective machinery the en-
of the allowance made the injured
employe. This section is very OBJ.
jectionable to many. 1t is not, how.
ever, as radical as it seems. In case
an accident occurs coming under the
provisions of this section the paying
OF the penalty will be settled between
the commission and the employer,
and it is only fair to expect that the
i,c;D oil of
character in broad and liberel spir-
it, In case this should create any
litigation it would be between the
commission and the employer and will
be easily tried and settled. The lum-
ber interests OF this state have done
much hard work to pass this bill.
They have been opposed by many
minor interests. but this opposition
and the argument against the bill
were largely based on ignorance Of
its provisions. MAN. seemed unable
to comprehend the fact that this uin
provided that each class of employers
must pay for its own risks; that where
this risk was small and experience
demonstrated that the assessments
could be reduced, they would be re-
ducod simply to cover the actual loss
es. The bill wisely provides that al
ter the first fund has been created,
which might be called reserve fund,
assessments will be made monthly as
needed.
There is a great deal of work re-
quired on this bill before the details
are worked out. There must neces.
sarily be mistakes and no doubt there
will be some costly ones made, but
if the bill is administered honestly
by a commission of able men, it is
very probable that the future will dem
Onstrate the wisdom of the legisla-
ture of the state of Washington in
passing it."
