| Its success has led the officers OF the
Chamber to 9rge any one comtemplat-

of the Chamber, with the view of ar

the club in a social and business way.

use, where it can BIZ maintained to
greater advantage.
1t is pointed out that, equipped in

to instil even greater interest and to
obtain further cooperation among its
members, resulting in a consequent
increase in the efficiency of its work.
The budgets as fixed by the school
board, the city council and the county
commissioners, resulting in the deter

have met with the approval of the
special tax committee by the Chamber
to work with the different officials, &C

Twenty-Five taxpayers OF ThurstOn

commissioners this week, asking per-
mission for the electors of the county
to vote on the establishment Of a levy

commissioners had included $720 in
the budget to extend the scope Of the
city library throughout the country,
but later were informed the appro-
priation was illegal.

clared her inability to enlarge the OBJ

URGES COUNTY FAIR
Well Known Rancher Believes
Demonstration Farm Very
Much Needed.

That the sentiment in favor of the
purchase of land by the county for a
demonstration farm and county fair is
almost unanimous in the country dis
tricts is made apparent after series
of talks with farmers from different
sections of the country. The small
amount represented in the additional
levy to the individual is much small
er sum, apparently, than these individ-
uals would have been willing to con-
tribute to fair fund exclusive of a
demonstration farm feature.
IF the proposition to purchase the
Carlyon tract should carry" said Peter
Mckenzie, of Mud Bay, land l am in
favor of it, it would be possible for the
farmers at stated periods to hear lect-
ures on subjects in which they are in
terested, which would result in educat-
ing our people along lines which would
be of great advantage to them. The
only opposition comes from people who
do not understand what the purchase
will mean to them, nor are they ad-
vised as to what the benefits will be.
If it were possible to show each tax
payer just what it will cost him it
would be easy to get his influence in
favor of the proposition.
"One of our great troubles" said Mr..
Mckenzie, lis to get our young people
interested in farming work, and per-
haps the county fair will help to en-
courage them. / have always been
in favor of county fair and was
always ready to contribute to one.
There exists certain feeling between
the business men of the city and the
people of the farming districts which
is not always friendly, and this should
not be the case. Our interests are the
same and we should be united family
instead of divided one. The county
fair will help to heal this breach"
Mr.. Mckenzie is one of the heaviest
taxpayers in the farming districts of
Thurston county, and has always been
known as one of its most enterprising
citizens. In talking of the proposal
to purchase the Carlyon property he
stated that so far as he was able he
would take up the matter at any
gathering of farmers held between this
time and the election and earnestly
urge it.

OLYMPIA NATIONAL BANK

These watchful individuals appear
to have grown spoiled and want some
thing to happen every day in the cam
paign that would cause them to laugh,
Such statement on the part of the ex-
president probably would not sound
well just now, mayhap; possibly it
will be kept on ice until 1920 The
Roosevelt followers here hardly would
sanction such promise by him, es-
pecially in view of the precarious sit
uation for him in this, the year of
"The Confession of Faith" and be-
cause of the slow assembling of a
polyglot following.
Another opportunity for 1916 for the
Bull Moose has been disclosed by the
recent session of the International
congress on Hygiene and Demography.
Ten per cent. of the people of the
United States are mentally defective,
said the statistics of this great scien-
tific body. Will not few more insane
planks in the Bull Moose platform
catch the defective vote? There is a
faction not heretofore invited into any
political party in formal way, al
though there be patriotic American
citizens, interested in the maintenance
of a Republican form of government of
Democratic prOpensities, who will
wager that an indirect bid already has
been made for the defective vote.
In the uttermost seriousness it must
be admitted that but little more cOnsid-
GRAFTON has been given the recent
promise" of early tariff revision by
President Taft, than likely would be
given should Theodore Roosevelt pro-
claim, with lacrimosal wetness in his
eyes, that under NO circumstances
would he again be a candidate Lavish
ing of them, both wings of the Repub-
lican party have been sadly discredit-
ed. The failure in two years of the
Taft administration to keep the 1908
pledges as to tariff revision-the bum
Going of the people into believing that
by tariff revision" was meant
tariff revision downward"-re-
suited in the thrashing given the Re-
publican party in 1910, when the Dem
ocrats captured the House of Rep
reSentativeS.
Most certainly l do hold cut not
only the hope of tariff revision, pro-
vided that revision shall not be ha.,-
hazard, but based upon the rate of
duty necessary to prevent destructive
competition from European countries
and, l must add, Japan" said Mr.. Taft
in a special interview in New York.
With the election of the Republican
candidates for president and congress,
revision will proceed at once along the
lines indicated by the work of the
tariff board''
Promising similarly in 1908, but
stressing it more strongly, President
Taft is nearing the close of four-year-
term with nothing to show for that
covenant with the people but that
maze of perpleXities in statute form.

TAX LEVY 43 MILLS.
Commissioners Reduce Levy Only

After receiving the budgets as de-
termined by the different boards, the
county commissioners this week fixed
the levy for Thurston county, for
state, municipal and county purposes,
at As mills, reduction of mills over
last years levy, in spite of the in
crease of about % per cent in the as
sessed valuation of property in the
county.
The levies are distributed as fol.
lows:

The municipal levy will yield the
city SCOOPS, $4,000 to be raised from
indirect sources, among which is the
Sl2,SS0 received from the annual sa-
loon licenses. The school board will
spend total of $72 $3.50, part OF which
will go for the repairs 10 the Mckin-
ley school.
