AUSTRIA ANCERED BY SERVlA

Though Not Dangerous, Is Dlsquletng

Austria is becoming greatly angered
as a result Of Servia's attitude on the
consular question. Austria is further
embittered by reports regarding the
manner in which the Servians treated
the Austrian Consulate when they en-
tered Prisrend.
The situation, perhaps, while perhaps
not absolutely dangerous, is certainly
disquieting.

Elma, Wash, July 4, 1912.
The Herald will not attempt to ex-'
plain the conduct of the press of the
county. 1t has it's own opinions ON
the subject, and we suggest that our
worthy correspondent take the mat.
ter up with those papers himself. So
far as the truth of the story publish
ed in the Herald is con-
cerned it is verified by the
record, and the alteration OF the
figures on the field book and assess.
ment roll is admitted by the deputy
who made the changes, at the drec-
tion OF the tax agent of the Weyer--
haueser company. And the admis-
sion was made to this paper just as
if such an alteration was a matter
of routine business in the assessors
office.
1t would be no difficult matter tu
learn just how much this company
has received in this manner for as
many years back as they could be
made refund Two men of ordinary
clerical ability, with the reports OF
the timber cruise at hand, should

an approximate idea of what this im-
mense corporation is costing us ALL.
besides picking up a few others, III
such there be found. 1t may not be
possible to compel the payment OF
the sums evaded, but thorough ex-
posure will have the effect of check
ing the evil.
That this company, and others.
have exercised pernicious activity
in local politics, is matter of COM
mon knowledge with all who have
followed the game of politics in Che
halls county for any length of time.
and it may be relied upon to butt in
as usual this year.
About 20 years ago, the Weyer>
haueser Timber Co. bought six mil
lion acres of timber lands in this
state from the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Co.. for one dollar an acre. OF
six million dollars Today this land
has enhanced in value almost beyond
the dreams of avarice, yet it's man.
ayers stoop to shunting off the just
proportion of this property's burden
of government upon those least able
to bear it. While the residents OF
this county are spending time, en-
ergy and money in the attempt to
secure a population to improve the
Alladn's Lamp corporation stands
ready to penalize each settler for ~
part of it's just taxes. A people that
will knowingly tolerate it, deserves
no better.

Editor Herald:
in the Herald of July l, | have care
fully watched every other paper pub
lished in Chehalis county to see what,
if any, comment they might make
upon the startling state of affairs you
made public, but diligent search
fails to revail single word on the
subject Myself and neighbors in
this part of Chehalis county, who
are moderate taxpayers, have con-
sidered our taxes more OF burden
than we could we'll afford, and have
sought long for the real reason.
If the statement you made. of the
manner in which the Weyerhau--er
Timber Co. lodges it's taxes on timber
lands, upon which our labor advances
the value yearly, then the reason is
discovered For, no doubt when this
company is permitted to alter the as
sessments on its holdings to SUIT
lHelI ulSpCSitiCIl W pay. o.ASi di q
receiving similar favors from our al
legged public servants.
Silence Of the Press.
Can you explain the silence of the
press of the county upon this mon
strous wrong upon the great majority
of taxpayers of the county, if it be
true? And, one is forced to admit
that if it were untrue, this loud ST.
lence would not PREVAIL forced to
believe what you say when you charge
these tax dodgers with being a cor
rupting influence in the selection of
our taxing authorities, and compell-
ed to admit the truth of some of the
many rumors that have been af1oat
in this vicinity for the past six or
eight years, to the effect that some
of those in authority found it ex-
ceedingly profitable to be engaged in
the logging business at the same
time, where the friendliness of the
Weyerhaueser company became
valuable asset.
Organized Effort Necessary.
agree with the Herald, if this con.
dition exists, that nothing short of
strong organization, nOn-partisan in
character. in every section of the
county can hope to cope with this
mOnstrOus evil. beside which the re-
suit of the national election falls into
insignificance. We harp good deal
about the tariff, and it does make
us pay more than We should for some
articles, but for every dollar the Che
halls county owner of from $1,000
to $1,000 worth of property pays or
account of the tariff, he pays ten dol
lars for the lodged taxes of the fav-
ored corporations.
