Favorable weather during the past
week has enabled the farmers to make
rapid progress with the harvesting of
wheat and the work of gathering In
the golden grain has been general
throughout the entire Shenandoah val
ley. Although several recent hail
storms cut down some of the wheat in
certain localities and damaged other
fields. the yield in general will be much
better than many of the farmers had
anticipated.
The straw is short, but the grain is
well filled. and the wheat Is said to
be of an excellent quality. There will
be little hay gathered, and farmers and
others who own live stock will have
to depend upon the outside markets.
The corn in most cases Is unusually
late. but it has healthy appearance,
and bumper crop is expected in the

A WORD TO ALL
OUR READERS

During the past week we have
mailed out statement of the stand
ing of all subscribers who are be-
hind in payment and we anticipate
a prompt and cheerful response.
The new law governing the hand
ling of newspapers by the mails
compels publishers to see that their
list is live" one in toto and at
all times. Uncle Sam has got tired
of having the cheap John advertis-
ing sheets of value to no one, moth
ing or nowhere en- Joy the privileges
intended for publication of value to
the citizens of given community,
and he has been imposed to such
an extent that the only remedy is
to compel all publishers to show
paid up list, which is proof that the
paper is filling a useful field and is
of sufficient value to warrant the
government in assisting in its de-
livery. And your Uncle is right.
If home paper is worth reading
it is worth paying for and the read
or who cannot or makes no effort
to pay does not deserve to have his
mail delivered at the same rate as
one who takes pride in keeping UP
to date on the publisher 5 books.
1t gives us pleasure to state that
but a small percentage of our sub
sCribers are delinquent, and the
great majority of such as are in ar
rcars are there through oversight.
We have refralned from sending
out duns, which, in a measure, &C
counts for most of those in arrears,
and we have confidence that I'M
mediately upon receipt of state
mcnt a remittance will be mailed.
We want all Our old friends to
stay with us and will do all our
patronage warrants to induce them
so to do and will give all reason
able time to settle back accounts.
1t is our intention, however, to
place all accounts not settled with
in reasonable time in the hands
of a collection agency, not later
than the middle of May, and hence
forth, as near as is consistent with
good business policy, shall place
our list upon the paid i'll advance
plan. We cannot carry old ac-
counts OH our books. We were
willing to do SO when he ceases, in
violation of the postal laws, to be a
patron.
Attention is called to the fact
that every copy of the paper receiv-
ed by subscribers bears the date to
which it is paid for. For instance:
Opposite name on yellow label
pasted on paper or wrapper will be
noticed to read like this:
John Doe 81 Dec. 1910.
This means that John Does SUBJ
scription expired OH the last day of
the year 1910. 1t is easy to under
stand if you study it little.
Every subscriber can thus pos,
himself as to how he stands and
know just when to remit or notify
the publisher to stop. To continue
to take a paper out of the postoffice
after the subscriber is delinquent
and then to make a plea that the
publisher has been told to stop it a,
date paid to is a cheap trick which
no honorable, self-respecting read
er ever thinks of playing.
All delinquent subscribers who
were notified the past week will
please govern themselves accord

THAT we were then doing was rev

II used this language on that
occasion. There is no use to nlnce
words about it. 1t was a revolu-
tion. Individually l am not afraid
Of revolutions for people of our
blood always revolutionize i'll the
right direction.
The difference in the situation
is that in March, 1910. we were
fighting to accomplish great result
namely, to liberate the house from
domination of an oligarchv of five

fact in the slang phrase of these
DAYS, he was it" That was the

The despotism of the old COM

men Of which the speaker was

and we were entirely justified in
upsetting all precedents that were
ever made to emancipate ourselves,
which We did. The question last
made was an insignificant squabble
between Judge Fuller of Illinois
and James R. Mann of Illinois,
both republicans and neither one
an insurgent. Each determined to
have his own way. Each one had

is all there was to it. There was

By our votes we said that the
speakers decision was sustained

consequence to revolutionize the
house.
There is no consistency what
ever in our votes of March, 1910,

can get all the pleasure out of it he
wants, which is very little I think

OLYMPIA, Jan.16 especially State
taxes hereafter will be higher than
ever before, even if no special APP
preparations are made, unless the
legislature provides for increased
returns from indirect sources.
Present Offices and institutions
are asking about ST, 500 900 from
the general fund. Current school
tax, highway tax and military tax,
under present laws, will call for "a
bout $1,000, 600 more or nearly
thirteen million dollars in all.
Every dollar the safe general
fund can collect from indirect
sources leaves just so much less to
be raised by direct taxes. Auditor
Clausen figures that indirect reve-
nucs, even with state levy raised
will fail by million to raise e.
nough money to run the state.
The chief sources of indirect rev.
enue are collections from the state
land office. corporations fees and
ICSllSCS, Ills III duCS Tax anu tees
and liquor licenses. Auditor Clau-
sen figures $4OO, 900 revenue from
liquor licenses, but this will not be
realized if more territory goes dry.
To save higher direct taxes to
meet any falling off of this reyen-
ue. and to keep the liquor question
out this session so legislators can
devote their attention of careful
work to economize expenditures
the house has voted not to consider
any changes in the option law.
This course has been commended
in series of editorials by the Post
