Don't pay so cents for worthless hair tonics-Use old
reliable, harmless "Danderine'' results

Thin. brittle. colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of a neglected

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-

if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast.

lose fine horse last week. We had
a horse that was not doing we'll. SO
one day last week we were at the
store and told Jim Mark about it, and
he said, Here, take this package OF
condition powders back with you. and
that will fix him all right" So we
gave 1t to the horse. and then we fix
ed him a bed of straw.
When we went to see the horse next
morning he was acting awful queer
So we went up to the store and told
Jim about 1t. and when we went to
leave Jim said: Hold on. l am going
with you, and maybe / can tell what
Is the matter with your horse" When
we got to the barn and opened the
door we saw the horse sitting down
on his bed of straw. Jim looked at
him and then said. Say, where is

for him, and he looked at 1t and ex-

owners on the subject
In an interview with L Herald rep

inquiries concerning the timber of the

people, and the department was desir-
Gus OF securing all the information
possible for them, and wished for sam

SCHOOL DIRECTORS MEETING
County Superintendent Calls Meeting
Of Directors Of County to Talk
School Business.

N. D. McKillip, county superintend-
ent Of schools, has called a meeting
of all the school directors in Chehalis
county. at the court house, in Monte
sano, on March 8, for the purpose Of
discussing school affairs, and to pro-
mote efficiency and economy in the
administration of the public schools.
In his letter calling the meeting,
Supt. McKillip, in impressing it's i'm.
portance on the directors, who will at
tend without pay, gives some inter.
esting information concerning the cost
and results of the school system in
Chehalis county. He cites. that the
county paid for school purposes last
year the sum OF s36e.13S 90; that the
current expenses OF the schools were
1912, 49S00; that the rural schools
cost sS2,615, and that the several dis
tricts lost approximately SIS each
through the negligence Of the school
boards and patrons.
He calls attention 70 the fact that
the country schools are working at a
great disadvantage, while the city
schools received last year s20,520
more than they paid in. and calls at
tention to the fact that only about
per cent of the pupils ever complete
the eighth grade.

Disregarding the Law

The legislative session Of 1909 en-
acted law requiring all counties,
cities, towns, road and school dis.
tricts. on or before the first Monday
Of each year, to make estimates of the
amount required to meet the public
expense for the ensuing year, and to
be raised by taxation in such taxing
district and to publish the same. The
law is mandatory, in the plainest Ian
guage. and provides a penalty of a
fine Of not less than 800 and not
more than $500 for it's violation, yet
so far as Aberdeen and Chehalis coun-
ty are concerned it has not been rec.
ognized.
The wise objects OF the law are too
obvious to require explanation. 1t
means that when tax estimates are
being made, the public shall know
how much they are, and for what pur-
pose, so that an opportunity to request
larger or smaller estimates is afford.
ed. 1t protects the tax levying body
if that body recognizes the law-by
giving valid reason for denying ap-
preparations that have not been pro-
vided for in the buget, and is intend
ed to protect the public from the ex-
travanges Of officials, no matter
what the motive.
In Aberdeen, it is a matter of record
that the city authorities are, and have
been constantly violating this law;
that the current expenses of the city
are exceeding the lawful sum at the
rate of more than $500 a week, in
the county it is likewise. So far as
the county commissioners have failed
to recognize the law-or their oath of
office. Bonds have just been Sold or
are about to be sold, to redeem war.
rants amounting to 100000, that were
issued in defiance of this plain law,
and so it goes. Whose business is it..
Mr.. Taxpayer?
The ignoring of this law may cause
trouble two ways. The officials vio-
lating it may be subjected to the pen
atty provided, and the warrants un.
lawfully issued may be invalidated.
In the latter event, there might be a
personal liability against the Offend
ing officials. Every member of the
city council Of Aberdeen and every
county commissioner has subscribed
to an oath, to the effect that he would
uphold the laws Of the state, and Just
how they are to harmonic that oath
with the violation of this law It is
difficult to perceive.
So long as this sort of government
in defiance of law is tolerated, it will
continue. 1t being nobody's especial
business, the average citizen growls,
quits and pays the bill, and the game
goes on. With an organization of av.
erage taxpayers in active operation
such an abuse of authority would
stop SO suddenly that the offending
officials would sustain a severe jar.

The intentions of those about TO

deal for all. There is no disposition
to ''cinch'' anybody, or inequitably as

contrary, its purpose is to put an end

Chehalis county a subject OF mockery

The Taxpayer's League.

The article in the Herald last Mon
day. directing attention to the manner
in which the expensive cruise OF tim
Der lands was being used in the office
of the assessor. bids fair to result in
the formation Of Taxpayers League
The initial step towards the organiza-
ton of the league was taken last week
by the Hoquiam twenty-five Tousand
club, when committee was appointed
to frame plan of organization that
will embrace every voting precinct in
the county.
Chehalis county for twenty years
has enjoyed the unenviable reputation
throughout the state of making the
most unjust, unreasonable and dis
honest assessment for taxation of any
county in the state. This broad state
ment is justified fully by the records
of the state board of equalization,
which has year after year raised the
valuation and commented severly up
on the methods in vogue in Chehalis
county. The increased valuations
bore most heavily upon the classes of
property that were already burdened
to the limit Of endurance, while the
nonresident owners of large tracts of
timber lands escaped with valuation
absurdly low.
Timber is the greatest possession
of the county, and it is rapidly disap-
pearing. For ten years the people
endeavored to have this timber placed
on the assessment rolls, at fair val
uation, the same as other property,
and this year succeeded in getting
the lands cruised for this purpose, at
an enormous expense, only to discov-
er the same influences, that had
so long prevented such a
cruise, seem to be still in the
saddle, and with sufficient "pull' to
practically nulify to a large extent
the beneficial results of the cruise.
With the tax dodgers who have been
30 successful in shifting the burdens
OF government to other shoulders for
years, it is matter of business, and
as such it must be recognized by those
who have borne this extra burden if
they hope to escape it. An organiza-
ton, countrywide, to be effective will
cost some money, but the cost will be
infinitely less than the extra taxes its
members are now subjected to. So
firmly intrenched have the tax dodg
ers become, that to dislodge them will
require fight, but the battle would
be of short duration II those who pay
what the tax dodgers escape would
unite The cost would be trifflng
and the results immediate.
AS shown in the article referred to
last week, billions of feet of merchan
table timber seems about to escape
taxation through the methods adopted
