Some Things Will Be Missing

Gold fountain pens, jackknives
brass-tipped rulers and all those
complimentary little necessities
which usually are seen at the open
ing of the regular session, will be
missing.
Copies of the proclamation were
sent out Saturday afternoon, and
practically all the senators and rep
resentatives will have received the
official notification by night.
Protest has been made that calling
the legislature to st. Paul at this
time would work hardship on the
farmer members. A. M. Hayes, ex
ecutive clerk to Governor Eberhart
checked up the list of lawmakers
and found that there are six farm
ers in the senate and thirty-six in
the house. The membership of the
senate and house aggregates 1S4.

How Each Dollar
Paid in Taxes Is Di-
vided Between t h e
State and its Sub-divi-
siOnS.

lOtdl pOf,Uof,OOc
What portion of one dollar paid
in taxes went to each of the differ
ent units of government, taking the
state as whole, is readily ascer-
tanned by applying the old rule OF
three or simple proportion. We
thus find that of each dollar of taxes
paid into county treasures, the
state received liz cents, the county
1914 cents. the town 81 cents. the
cities and villages q cents, and the
schools and university 341a cents.
1t is interesting to note that OF
each dollar paid in taxes practically
SSH cents are collected for local
purposes, while only liz cents 60
into the state treasury, and nearly
all of this amount finds its way
back into the local districts in state
appropriations for roads and bridges
and other purposes.
In 1910, of the IS counties of the
state, II received more money from
the state treasury than they con
tributed to the state in taxes.
A subsequent article will show
the particular purposes for which
each dollar of taxes is spent, and
who spends it; also the amount of
revenue derived by the state from
gross earnings and other special
taxes, and what is done with it.

The organization is distinct from
the Democratic county central COM
mittee and will promote an entire
ly different phase of the campaign,

with the furtherance of the candidacy
of Governor Wilson and Marshall.
Consequently it invites all those who
desire to support these national can
didates to join in the work.
The organizers have been busy all
week circulating membership cards
among their friends, and have already
obtained a much larger membership
for the club than they at first antici-
pated. They propose to carry the
work of organizing supplementary
clubs into every precinct in the county,
until unified and active organization
| is formed.
In addition to these four officers.
second vice chairman were elected for
every precinct in Olympia and also
county. The finance committee,
which will attend to the matter of
collecting contributions, consists of
Messrs. Blakesiee, Schomber and
Daley.

TODD CHAIRMAN OF
STATE COMMITTEE
Former Whitman Representative
to Direct Washington
Campaign.

Hugh c. Todd of Seattle, defeated
for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, was elected chairman of the
Democratic state central committee to
succeed Charles G. Heifner, who was
not a candidate for reelection because
of his candidacy for Congress.
Todd's election was accomplished
after a fight by the Pierce county
Democrats, who demanded the selec-
ton of d. J. Williams, of Tacoma. re-
commended by the Democratic state
convention at Walla Walla.
The candidates on the state and
congressional tickets offered to COM
promise on Cal Stewart, of Tacoma, to
satisfy the Pierce county men at least
in this, that the chairman be chosen
from that county, but Stewart declin-
ed to accept and held out in favor of
Williams.
When Stewart declined to serve the
members of the committee followed
their own preference, and by vote
of II to 10 selected Todd.
Todd's selection marks the advent
into leadership in Democratic state
politics of George E. Ryan, who was
the retiring secretary of the state GEN.
trail committee and disciple of Heif-
ner. Shortly after the meeting
Todd announced the appointment of
John w. Troy as secretary of the
state committee.
After listening to arguments of law
yers almost the entire afternoon and
evening the state central committee
announced its decision to be that
Judge Black is eligible to be the Dem
ocratic nominee for governor, main
| tanning that the provision of the con-
stitution which prohibits judge
| from being a candidate for any state
office does not apply to him, because
his term will expire before he will
| take the Office of governor If elected.
Following is the resolution adopted
| by the central committee on the eligi.
bility of Judge Black:
Whereas an effort has been made to
convey the impression to the people
of the state that Judge w. w. Black
the nominee of the Democratic party
| is not eligible as a candidate or the
office of governor, and
Whereas, The committee, in order
| that the voters should be advised or
the matter, has taken the opinion OF
eminent lawyers upon the question
and
Whereas, The said lawyers have
advised this committee that judge
Black is eligible, therefore be it
Resolved, That this committee de
clares its belief that Judge Black Il
leiigible to the Office of governor ant

Washington that he will be seated i

1t is recalled by Josephus Daniels,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, that during the Cleveland
campaign the names of Republicans
and Independents supporting the Dem
ocratic ticket were published in the
newspapers every day, and that pro-
found impression was made. Mr..
Daniels is planning, therefore, through
the assistance of Democratic news

dissatisfied Republicans, Progressives,

and Marshall.
