State Capital Letter


Both representatives Appleman
and Spedden, Of Stevens county
voted against the Conner bill strik-
ing the second choice provision
from the direct primary law, when
the measure came up in the House
on final passage. The Conner bill
was passed by vote of 81 to A.
Before putting it through the House
amended it by replacing under the
primary the supreme court judges,
and by providing that election
judges shall return to the county
auditors in numerical order all un-
used ballots.
The Senate has put through the
new banking code. This provides
that where a bank becomes insol-
vent, the State bank examiner shall
act as receiver, with the attorney
general for counsel and that all
state and local banks shall be un-
der strict direction and examina-
ton.
The total taxes paid in Stevens
county i'll the year 1910 were
$451.793, or $94,852 more than in
1909, according to statement
compiled by the state tax commits
sion from figures received from the
county. Such figures from all over
the state show that during the year
1910 the total taxes paid for all
purposes aggregated $27, O29, 321, or
| more than $lO,OO0,OOO in excess of
the aggregate for the preceding
year.
With but seven opposing votes
the initiative and referendum bill,
which had passed the House, was
passed in the Senate. Senator
Anderson was one of those to vote
for it. Before passing the bill the
Senate amended it by increasing
the percentages, both as to the mi
tiation of a law and as to invoking
the referendum. Many of those wi o
voted for the bill practically ad-
mitted during the debate that they
did not believe in it's principles.

John G.. Lewis, state treasure r
there is no danger of the state hav-
ing to float bond issue. although
the general fund has dropped to
the 100000 mark, as money will
soon be coming in from taxes and
from the insurance and land de-
partments to take care of all war
rants.
Governor M. E. Hay has ap-
pointed 0. G. Ellis, Democrat, of
Tacoma, to the seat left vacant on
the supreme bench, upon the resig-
nation of Frank H. Rudkin, who
was appointed federal judge of

Eastern Washington. Mr.. Ellis
was appointed at the request of the
Pi4rce County Bar Association and
the Pierce county delegation in the
legislature.

Knew Many Prominent Men.

During his long residence in Washing
ton Mr.. Brown became acquainted with
many of the prominent officials, incud
ing the cabinet officers and while Presi-

Nothing surprises the traveller in Spain
SO much as the manner in which the
native hotels are conducte6. For d
long time the impression has been abroad
that dirt and sloveniness mark the con-
duct of Spanish hotels, and that all of
the food served is 80 highly seasoned
that the foreign throat is burned In con-
Stunning it. Persons who insist that the
Spaniards were formerly uncleanly in
their housekeeping where the public was
entertained explain the present condi
tions by saying that national pride has
risen to the occasion and effected radical
changes. Spanjards say that their coun-
try never deserved a reputation for dirt.
At any rate the average native hotel
today is quite as clean as the average
American hotel of the same class and

unseasoned.

hotel charging from 81 to 81 day,
oranges, grapes, apples. pears and fgs
are commonly offered the guest at the
end of the meal. Wine is, of course, al
ways free and most hotels of any promi-

is offered choice between white and red
wine, and both are usually as good as
could be bought for Is cents a quart in
America. Some hotels have really superior
table wines.

Hotel Guests Are
Given Best Rates

Spanish inn keeper. He cuts his expense
for the hire OF employees and continues
to quote low rates to guests The condi-
ton Will doubtless change when more
travellers come to Spain and when more
of them learn how much more agreeable
it Is to stay at native hotel than at
tourist resort. but inasmuch as few of
the travellers in Spain at the present time
speak Spanish most Of them find it con-
venient to stop at fashionable hostleries
that maintain interpreters or employ
walters and clerks who speak English
and French. This prevents the Spanish
