BUSINESSMEN
TO Make A
PROTEST

There promises TO be a good
vigorous kick go up from Tacoma
business men the first Monday In
October when they are to appear
at the city hall to consider the
matter of the tax levy with the
city council.
According to the temper OF a
lot of large taxpayers they do
not like the suggestion of Conn
missioners Woods and Lawson TO
boost salaries of police and fire.
men $4,000, while the taxes OF
the people in Tacoma is above the
8 per cent mark.
Local boosters say manufac-
turers refuse to come here be-
cause taxes are so high and yet
the city dads are continually
boosting salaries and making
them higher.
Last year the levy was IL mills
but there is talk of Is mills this
year.
This also in the face of the
fact that the valuation has been
boosted on the people about s3,-
100000.
In addition to boosting the
taxes the council also proposes
TO put up bond issue to the peo-
pie for several hundred thousand
dollars, a part of it to be used
for improvements that are-usually
met out of the regular tax levy.
Whether the taxpayers will
stand for all this sort of thing re-
mains to be seen but it is limited
protest in boots will be on
hand in October to see about it.

TO PUNISH BRIBERS
JUDGE SKEEN TO PUSH CAMPAIGN
AGAINST VOTERS AS LONG As
HE Is JUDGE.-SC0RES WILL BE
DISFRANCHISED.

BRITOL, VA, Special.-It is now
certain that scores of voters in Lee
county will forever be disfranchised,
as a result of Judge Skeen's inVesti-
cation, which has disclosed whole
sale corruption of the electorate Of
that county in recent elections. AL
ready nearly seVenty-fiVe of those in

wealth the trial Of their cases. While
there has been one hung jury this
week and two acquittals, il is believed
that the majority OF those yet to be
tried will be convicted, in which event
one hundred or more citizens of Lee
may this week have the right of suf-
frage forever taken from them.

INVESTIGATION into the elections of

Skeen found that in Wise county LIQUOR

showed that S2O was about an aver9 ae
