OF the political corruption, business dis.
honesty and other evils that fiaunt

present conditions with those that ex-
listed years ago to be convinced of this
truth, and the best of it all is that this
betterment is affecting all classes. To
be sure there is much, very much yet to
be done to get the world where it should
be, and that fact shows that everyone
can lend hand if he will.

Washington galleries miss
Bourke Cochran, until recently
representative in congress by the
grace of Tammany hall. They still
remember the brilliant though
depthless speeches; they loved to
watch him tear his hair, beat his
bosom, charge up and down the
aisle, crying aloud in a carefully
cultivated brogue, for freedom, or
some other theme requiring a due
amount of tears, eloQuence and
emphatic gestures.
Since his retirement from con-
gress Cochran has devoted much
of his time to lambasting the head
of Tammany hall. During the late
"unpleasantness" in New York
state, the gifted natural orator
found out that Tammany hall in
general and Boss Charley Murphy
in particular were very undesir-
able citizens. He denounced both
on the stump, supporting candi-
date Stimson, and with a wealth
of words which was truly wonder
full, but not so productive of votes
as one would think, witness the
jolt handed to the New York G..
o. p. November last.

TAX COMMISSION CHILLED
BY COUNTY OFFICIALS

The state tax commission of
Washington, with Governor NJ. r.
Hay, met last night with the legis-
lators of Pierce county to refute
the charges of the Pierce county
officials that the state tax com
mission was not backing up the
Pierce county officers in securing
the taxes from the Tacoma Rail-
way company
With Attorney General Bell as
their adviser and a stack of books
and records for reference, the tax
commission. through I. d. Rock
well of Spokane and j. r. Frost
of Elensburg, gave a full and de-
tailed statement of the work of the
state tax commission since its be-
ginnig in 1906.
Charges Neglect of Duty.
Governor Hay then asked If the
Pierce county officials stood ready
to charge the state tax commits
sion with not doing their duty, and
they said they were.
County Treasurer Ed Meath was
the first spokesman for the county.
and he said his duties were to col
lect the taxes and not to levy
them.
He showed that the state tax
commission made the assessment
of the street railways of Washing
ton, including the Tacoma Rail
way & Power company, on a unit
basis at the recommendation of
Mr.. Graves. the spokesman for the
electric railroads of the state of
Washington, and then when he at
tempted to collect the taxes that
the T. r. & =. company took the
matter into court on the grounds
that the taxes were not segregat-
ed, and could not be assessed le-
gally unless segregated into real
and personal property.
Mr.. Meath also complained that
the state tax commission and the
attorney advised that he make al
test case of the 7. r. & p. com
panys taxes, and after he had
started suit against them the state
tax commission and the attorney
stated that the county of Pierce
could not collect the interest on
personal property tax when del
linquent.
To these complaints the tax com
missioners replied that there was a
mistake, and they would blame no
one but the law, and that they

PEOPLE WIN ANOTHER FIGHT;
BOUTELLE FINE IS UPHELD

The city has won again over the
street car company.
Yesterday the supreme court
decided the company must run
cars as ordered by the council in
its ordinance providing for five
minute service on the South Ia
coma fine and upheld the lower
courts in assessing a fine of 500
against Superintendent Boutel1e
for failing to comply with the city
law.
The decision not only upholds
this ordinance but points the fact

Leaders of the union street car

were preparing an amendment to
the law.
Senator w. II. Paulhamus ask
ed the tax commissioners to show
the map which designated the "op-
Grating and incorporating prop
critics" and the governor replied
that these were the property of
the railway commissioners and not
the tax commission.
Dow WAKES Wrathy.
County Assessor Lincoln of King
county told of his trouble. and
said that he did not blame the Of
fieials of Pierce for inability of
collecting the taxes, as he had ex-
perienced the same trouble.
He said his main trouble was
the Seattle Electric company,
and the fact that the tax commits
sion was not furnishing him with
a list of the valuation of public
service corporations.
Lorenzo Dow then asked why it
was that the assessment of the T.
K. & p. company was less in 1910
than it was in 1907, and not get
ting satisfactory information,
said: IF | cannot get the desired
here, will go where
can get it," the tax commission
ers then informed him that it was
due to the fact that the 1907 as
sessment was too high.
From the discussions yesterday
the fact was strongly brought out
that the tax laws of the state need
and need it at once,
and the members of the Pierce
county legislative committee and
the county officials feel that the
state tax commission have not Civ

You have no right to complain of
poor crops when the land is kept
clean of vegetable matter. The more
vegetable matter the land contains,
the more certain your crops will be,
no matter what seasons will be, whe-
Their wet or dry. The people would
reduce their fertilizer bills half or
three quarters, if they would only let
nature restore herself on the lands
cultivated one year out of two. Say
every other year for q crop; rest the
land and let it grow to weeds this
year, that you expect to cultivate
next year. You say you cannot af-
ford it. If you adopt this method,
you will make more in one year than
in two; the land in three years will
double in productiveness, thereby
saving in many ways. J. S NORRIS
