TOO MUCH TAXES.

At the election last Tuesday the large
bond issues, except the one for the water
shed about Cedar Lake, was defeated and
rightly so. While there were some very
meritorious propositions killed, yet the
status of affairs was such that, the people
were in no mood to vote for more bonds
or anything else that would in any way in
crease their present rate of taxation. The
defeat of the court house bonds is reoiced
at by the advocates of the Bogue Civic Cen
ter proposition, but they are hollering be-
fore they are out of the woods for, they will
learn to their bitter regret that when that
proposition comes before the public the
voters will bury it so deep that it will never
remember that it ever was live issue. The
whole idea is a real estate scheme and it is
being hatched up for the purpose of lot
of men with large realty holdings in that
section of the city to unload it at an enor-
nous price to the city. In other words, they
have not had an opportunity to sting the
city treasurer and that is the way they have
planned to do So and the fellows who have
already been given an opportunity to sting
the city is helping along for the opportunity
they have previously enjoyed.

BEATTIE TRIAL A DISGRACE.

The Associated Press has kept the wires
hot with detailed accounts of the Henry
Beattie murder case in Virginia and it has
done so for no greater reason than because
the parents of that young reprobate, who
publicly admits he has ruined the lives of
two innocent young women, to say nothing
of the score or more he is silent about, is
vastly rich, and even he may have acquired
those riches in the same criminal way that
his son has the notoriety he is now getting,
all of which is done to give the public to
understand that, if person has money it
is not in the books for him to be convicted
of crime, though he may be guilty of muir
dering the purest woman or women of the
land. 1t after all is sad commentary on
our much boasted civilization, and it can be
said without fear of successful controdic-
ton, that SO far as getting justice at the
hands of the courts of the United States it
is next to impossible, if your opponent has
more money than you.

TRIMBLE FOR GOVERNOR.

In another column hereof is published
communication from a committee, which
is espousing the candidacy of VIM. Pitt
Trimble, distinguished citizen of Seattle,
subject to the approval of the Republican
party and its contents are more or less
popular and will meet the approval of
great many of the voters of this state.
We do not understand the communication
to be in any sense formal announcements
on the part of Mr. Trimble to enter The
gubernatoral contest next year, but is
rather public pulse-feeler, and if the same
meets favorable reception then perhaps
he will issue a Declaration of Principles
and formally announce his intention of ask
ing the Republicans of the state for the
nomination OF governor. Briefly speaking,
the circular covers a wide scope, and points
out many defects in the present manner of
running the affairs of the state which should
be rendered. and on the whole the letter fur
nishes much meat for thought.
If Mr.. Trimble endorses the ideas couched
in the words of the letter, and he must
as it is signed by one Of the most reputable
business men in the Northwest, he is a real
reformer and one, that would put the af-
fairs of the state on a business basis and
public officials would be told that they
would have to do business for the state the
same as they would for private individuals.
Mr.. Trimb1e stands high in this communi
ty and is man possessing the most sterling
qualities. He may not be the personally
popular mixer that the other fellow is, but
if you ever have any business dealings with
him, you will go away knowing that he
is the embodiment of honor and personal
integrity and deals on the square and in
the open with every one. Because he or
she who aspires to public office has not in
the past poked his head out of the tenth
story window of some of the modern sky
scrapers and followed, Hello, Bill, is no
argument at all that such person is cold
blooded toward his fellow man. He or she
who does the most good to all is he or she
who goes about his work and never fails
to in some way lend helping hand to the
needy, who takes no undue or mean ad-
vantage of those he has business relations
with and every time he does humane act

PEOPLE NOT BENEFITED.

MUCH mas Deen SAID IrOn llIHe " llllS
concerning the completion of the Panama
canal and the great benefits the Pacific
Coast is to derive from it in the way of
cheap transportation, and the allegation is
not denied, in fact, we believe that the rates
from the East to the West and from the
West to the East will be cheapened to
marked degree, but the question to the con-
-sumer is, Am I to benefit by this cheaper
rate? Is the article SO shipped to be cheap
-ened in proportion to the reduction OF the
freight rate made so by the opening of the
canal, for which the taxpayers of the coun-
try have paid almost billion dollars? And
then knowing as he does that the price OF
everything sold to the consumer is regu-
lated by trust or combination OF trusts
he can answer the questions without mo-
ment's consideration with, not single cent
less will I pay for the articles sold to me
on account of the cheap rate. Freight on
typewriters,' said a Seattle dealer, will be
reduced from SIS per hundred pounds to
seventy-fve cents per hundred pounds and
that will be big thing for our company
In other words the government has built
the canal at an enormous expense to cheap
en- the freight rates on trust goods that the
trusts may reap a greater harvest in the
future from the consumer than they have in
the past If you do not call that class
legislation then, what is it? When the city
of Seattle put in an electric light plant of
its own the private concerns doing business
in the city Immediately cut their former
rates in two and the consumer was the
beneficiary of the reduction, which was right
and proper 1t would therefore appear, if
the public built the canal the reduction in
freight rate ought to rebound to the good OF
the consumer, but nay, nay, Pauline, not so,
you pay the same price. Who is responsible
for it we are not prepared to say, but the
United States is completely domineered by
trusts and the consumer is compelled to
dance to their music or go hungry and
naked. And under such conditions the trust
king wonders, why there seems to be such
a state of unrest all over this country just
now. Keep up the pace you are going at,
Mr.. Trust, and there will not only seem to
be state of unrest but there will be a
bloody unrest prevailing in this country,
and one even worse than the one that is
now prevailing all over France.
