Consider Single Tax for Seattle.

Seattle, Aug. 1.-Councilman
Griffiths introduced a resolution to
have the city council consider, un-
der authority of an act by the last
legislature known as the Candy
bill, the proposition of exempting
from taxation all improved property
in the city. He also desires the
council to consider whether bond
elections should. not be held sepa-
rately from general elections, and
only men qualified, by owning tax
able property, be allowed to vote at
them. The resolution will be con-
sidered this week.

5000 PLANTS WILL
HAVE STATE INSURANCE.

Olympia, July 31.-"There are
about 5000 Industrial plants in the
state of Washington that will come
under tn provisions of the new in
dustrial insurance law and the COM
mission which was organized on
June 8 now has data relative to more
than 1000 of Them" said Chairman
George A. Lee, of the commission.
Owing to the fact that the supreme
court has not yet passed upon the
constitutionality of the act the COM
mission has been unable to perfect
its organization and will not do so
until the case now pending is de-
cided.
Some Fail to Understand.
Chairman Lee states that the
trouble is coming from the small
employers of labor rather than from
the big ones. In many instances
they not only do not understand the
law, but do not know that they come
within it's provisions, and some are
not aware that there is such a law.
He says the big corporations and
employers of labor also have a COM
plete system of bookkeeping so that
it is easy to make them understand
what is wanted and they have no
trouble furnishing the data, while
the smaller employers have difficult
ty.
The travelling auditors, however
are making great Roadway and are
having little trouble up to this time
One of the difficulties of the com
mission was not only to select audi
tors. but to train them. The work
is all new to the auditors as well as
to every one else.

Hubbard, state labor commissioner,

OPPOSITION LEADERS MAKE
VERY SIMILAR STATEMENTS

London, July 29.-The most pes
simistic view regarding the acute
ness of the Moroccan crisis was con-
firmed by the prime minister in the
house of commons when he read
from manuscript which had been
carefully prepared, warning to
Germany that Great Britain proposed
to stand for what she considered her
rights and to maintain the balance
of power in Europe.
Further testimony of the gravity
of the situation is given by the fact
that the prime minister obviously
had taken the leader of the opposi-
ton into the governments conf
dence and Mr.. Ba1four's declaration
was no less firm than Mr.. Asquith's s.
Language Not Reassuring
The prime minister's language
was couched in diplomatic, though
not reassuring, language. At the
very opening, he said:
''It is obvious that this Moroccan
question has reached a point at
which it will be increasingly diff
cult. embarrassing and anxious un-
less solution is found.
1--WE thought it right from the
beginning to make it clear that, fail
ing of a settlement such as have
indicated, we must become an active
party in the discussion of the sit
nation That xr,o,,1d ho o,,r riuh% a 6
a signatory to the treaty of Algeciras,
as it might be our obligation under
the terms of our agreement of 1904
with France. 1t might be our duty
in defense of British interest d.
rectly affected by further develop
ments."
In promising the support of the
opposition to the government, Mr.
Balfour said:
''If there are any who supposed
that we would be wiped OF the
map of Europe because we have our
difficulties at home, it may be worth
while saying that they bitterly mis-
take the temper of the British peo-
pie and the patriotism of the oppo-
sition."
Such plain speaking on a question
fraught with possibilities of great
European war has not been heard in
the British parliament for years.
The outcome of the situation appears
to rest almost wholly on Germany'e
shoulders. If. as some German pa
pers say, Germany has reached the
stage of national development where
the necessities of her population de-
mand that she branch out into for
eign fields and impose conditions on
France which Great Britain thinks
threaten her vital interests, the only
result, SO far as the best informed
see it, will be the oft-threatened and
long-averted European CONFUSION.
German Oficials Skeptical
German officials and the majority
of the German newspapers profess
to think that Chancellor Lloyd
Georges recent speech of warning
was not addressed to Germany, but
was sort of general proclamation
of principles. Mr.. AsQuitlffs state
ment leaves no doubt and was in
tended plainly to leave none on that
point.

their future home. Since the mem
bers Of the Scott family commenced to

equipment Of a number Of railroad
systems and have given several pas
senger conductors nervous prostration
to say nothing of the anxiety caused
station agents at transfer points.
Frank Scott left Alberta last fall
and went to Oklahoma, where he was
lucky enough to get in at land draw

AS Conductor Jarvis entered the

Jarvis went through the cars to take

equal to the occasion and asked:
Don't the rules of the road provide
that all children under years of age
shall ride free. when accompanied BY
parent"
Sure" responded the conductor
but this is no family: It's school OF
an outing, and you will have to pa,
half fare for a half dozen or more"
To prove that it was a family and M
picnic, Mrs. Scott went down into {

Target Practice at Fort Washing
ton on Army Program,

Target practice with the mortar bat
terry at Fort Washington Is on the pro-
gram of the army authorities to take
place shortly. For several weeks past
army ordnance experts have been at the
fort overhauling the battery. located in
the clump of woods back Of the fort, and
parts of the guns were sent to the army
ordnance plant in New York to be mod
ernized. These parts have been returned
and were taken to the fort from this city
aboard the army steamer General Swart-
won't and are being placed in position.
This work, it is stated, will be COM
pleted in week OF ten days. and shortly
after that the boom of the big guns will
be heard on the Potomac:
Moving targets will be used and solid
shot. not shells, will be fired at them.
IL has now been several years since there
has been any target practice at the Po-
tomac forts with guns loaded with serv-
ice charges. The artillerymen Stationed
at Fort WASHINGTON and Fort Hunt have
been taken each year to Fort Monroe
and posts in the north for target practice,
but have had no work with the guns at
the Potomac forts

Chase's.

All Washington probably will want to
see Mcintyre & Heath at Chase's this
week. Aside from the fact that they
count their admirers by thousands is their
general reputation as pre-eminent black
face funmakers. Waiting at the Church"
is their medium this time, and it is
funny, very funny, whatever folks may
think of it's merits as compared with
former sketches by this unique pair. A
groom-to-be wishes to escape the clutches
of his bride-to-be. She corners him, how
ever. and drags him before the parson,
where they have it out. The dialogue
keeps an audience laughing all the time
Another strong feature of the Chase
bill is The Ten Vassar Girls in a tune
full travelogue, as it is billed. The girls
play their various brass and reed instru-
ments with skill and artistic ability and
are very good.
O'Brien. Havel and Kyle scored a pig
hit yesterday and last night with their
eccentric dancing, and Herbert's canine
troupe furnished entertainment for the
younger element.
Other good numbers on the program
embraced the ReXos in a skating act :
E;unice Burnham and Charlotte Green
wood, talking, songs and dances: Mile.
Esther Delaur and Miss Alice Debrimont
