High school Football Team Defeated

The high school football team

confident but started the game with
rush and scored a touchdown in the
iirst two minutes, Livingston carry
ing the ball. Hamilton hurt his hand
during the early part of the first
quarter and was changed by the
coach from halfback to end. After
the first touchdown the boys played
very raggedly. They seemed to work
by spells. There was great deal of
fumbling and many forward passes
missed, which, if successful, might
nave resulted in scores. At times the
individual work was the best of any
game this season, but at all times
the teamwork was poor.
The Tekoa boys fought hard. Pull

than Tekoa but we could not intimi-
date them by our fierce charges

Democratic Candidate for Governor Addressed
Large Crowd on Main Street Last
Saturday Afternoon

Ernest Lister Of Tacoma, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, visited
Pullman last Saturday and spoke
during the afternoon from the steps
of the Chamber Of Commerce build
ing to large crowd of farmers and
business men. He made a very favor
able impression. He confined his re-
marks entirely to a discussion Of
state issues and started off by saying
that he would rather be defeated
than to be elected by making cam
paign of personalities and mud
singing.
He criticised the administration Of
Governor Hay as extravagant and as
serted that, If elected, he would cut
down the running expenses of the
state at least 40 per cent. provided
the Legislature would cooperate in
abolishing a number of useless com
missions, which have been created
since the administration of Governor
Rogers. He quoted the records of
appropriations to show why taxes
have increased and compared them
with those of other states, He ex-
planned and endorsed the following
editorial which was published in tne
Wall Street Journal of September %:
Not because it is much worse
than others or as bad as some, the
state Of Washington may be taken
for a study of the waste arising from
the kind of administration which
would bankrupt any corporation or
private concern. The report of its
state auditor contains no succincr ac'
count of the public debt, either state
rates of interest at which it is issued
nor the dates of its maturity. There
are confused and bewildering figures
relating TO general fund. military
fund. highway fund school bonds
and other artificial accounts, but no
satisfactory statement of the tax
levies. For the purpose Of an au-
ditor's balance sheet, the report is
practically worthless.
with an annual revenue of
$7752,453 extorted from a scant
opulation of little more than a mil
lion, the state is scarcely entitled to
the luxury of a public debt But it
is not satisfied with expanding sub
stantally the whole of this inc me
annual cash disbursements $7,511,-
500, but has run into debt, and so
far as the report shows is afraid to
face the fact
This is not all. To the state
taxes must be added the county and
mum cipal burden. Ten years ago the
annual state revenues were $2,399,-
982; counties, $3,868,555; munich

Products of This State Best EN-
hibited at International Dry
Farming Congress

Competing against the best from
the United States and Canada, In
land Empire products made a clean
sweep to a splendid victory at the
International Dry Farming Congress
and Exposition held in Lethbridge.
Alberta, last week.
The total of awards won by the
Inland Empire exhibit is: 80 first
prize blue ribbons, seven second
prize red ribbons, two third prize
white ribbons and four sweepstakes.
I'VE won everything we entered
for" said Martin J. Vessels, super
intendent of exhibits of the Spokane
Cham Der of Commerce, who selected
md prepared the Inland Empire dis
play. Our greatest victory is the
winning of the district sweepstakes.
for which there were 9 entries. For
this we brought back large silver
trophy cup, presented by the gov
eminent of Manitoba. This is the
largest cup awarded at the exposition
this year"
The Inland Empire dry farming
products display attracted much at
tention in Canada, due not only to
the splendid products exhibited, but
to the attractive manner of arrange
ment. The central feature, declared
the most artistic piece of work at the
exposition. was a large portrait of

by Mrs. Martin J. Vessels,

pire exhibit was awarded tlrst prize

palities, etc, $500, 597: total $12,
HS9,134. The relation between state
and local taxation is such that the
both rise and fall together. Apply
ing the same rate at which the state
revenues have increased, to the loca.
revenues, the latter should now be
about $24,000,O00. Add this sum to
the state burden and the total be-
comes $31,50O,O00; equal to say $50
Ter capita, or $3.50 per family.
With one-third Of Washingtons
farm homes mortgaged for an aver
age debt of $4,000 each, is 1t any
wonder that this agricultural popula-
ton, except in the more fruitful re-
gions of Walla Walla, Yakima, King
and Chelan are finding their way to
Canada to escape the burden?
The report of the State Auditor
vi Washington is a volume of 900
printed pagGs-what the grafters
call printers fat 1t records numer-
Gus officials; big salaries with extra
compensation; lady clerks at $180e
a year; months of vacations at full
pay; hordes of politicians clerks
bearing a Suspicious number of sim
liar family names; expenses endless,
mileage fees interminable, postage
stamps by the bushel; porters, pages,
walters, parasites and nepotism
everywhere, and with what to show
for 1t? A few extravagantly con-
celved and badly executed public
works, without reproductive return,
the interest en- whose capital Is an
ether burden on the taxpayer. There
Is not corporation in the UmteG
States whose directors could show
such a record. and stay out Of jail "
Taking up the question of the
manufacture of grain bags at the
Walla Walla penitentia,y, he crit
cized the present policy Of not run
Ling the plant to It's full capacity. He
said that the idea in establishing the
plant was to sell the bags at price
which would pay a little more than
the cost of production, and thereby
help to prevent the sack importers
from combining and charging exorbi-
tant prices. The policy adopted by
the Hay administration of demand
ing the same price for penitentiary
bags as the importers are asking has
destroyed the usefulness Of the plant
to the farmers. He stated that, IL
elected, he proposed to run the plant
to its maximum capacity, thereby re-
ducing the cost OF production to
minimum and to sell the sacks at as
low a price as possible, so as to az
ford competition with the importers.
