expected. At Newport there is quite a
progressive sentiment, largely favoring
LaFollette. According to the following
from the Metaline Falls News, Roose-
velt is strong in that section:
The NEWPORT MINER says: There
appears to be little doubt but that the
Republican sentiment of the county
favors President Taft for renomiea-
uon. : II we were to gauge the senti-
ment OF the county by the feelings
made manifest in this end of the valley
we would make as sure a statement
that the delegates from Pend Oreille
county would be instructed for Roose-
welt. AS it is, Pend Oreille county but
illustrates the division of opinion that
exists all over the state. One thing is
certain, it will be hard thing to elect
eleven delegates to the Newport con-
vention from the Metalines, from the
representative Republicans of this sec
ton of the county, and not have among
them some staunch supporters of Roose-
welt. .-Metaline Falls News.

POLITICAL SENTIMENT DIVIDED
County Delegations Should Go
Uninstructed.
Progressives Strong In North End.

The national political situation seems
to be very much in the air, and some of
the strongest supporters of the admin
lstration are becoming convinced that
President Taft will not be nominated.
for the reason that it will be deemed
best to nominate compromise candi-
date, and that the national convention.
when it convenes, will find the party so
torn by internal strife that this plan
will be adopted as the one that will best
serve the interests of the party and the
country.
The county convention, which will
convene at Newport on May Z, will, it
is hoped, be a representative body, one
that will reflect the sentiment of the
Republicans of the county. The MINER
believes that in view of the unsettled
condition of affairs in the political
world, that it would be the part of
wisdom to send an uninstructed delega-
tion from this county. 1t would be well
to have a preferential ballot taken
when the county convention assemblies,
SO that the sentiment of the county may
be ascertained. Then select five dele
gates to go to the state convention who
will thus be apprised of local sentiment,
and would doubtless act in accordance
Herewith. But these delegates should
be left free and uninstructed, to work
for the best interests of the county and
state by advocating similar action on
the part of the state conventiod.
1t is probable that long before the
name of Washington is reached in the
roll call at the national convention a
nomination may have been made. How
ever, in the event that deadlock exists
an instructed delegation is about as
useful in convention as some of the
decorations or trappings in the conven-
ton hall. An instructed delegation
might as we'll remain at home and send
the ballot by mail, saving the patriots
the expense of attending the conven-
tion.
That there is difference of opinion
among Republicans of the county, as
we'll as throughout the nation, is to be

knowledge and belief. the only civilized
community in. the world, which grants
absolute exemption to the predatory
wealth, and imposes all the entire bur-
den of government upon the simple
forms of property, upon the farm, the
home, the merchant, the manufacturer.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
Maryland long since adopted exactly
the opposite method. In those states
the pleasant, convenient and comfort
able forms of property, here exempted,
are adequately taxed, with the result
that in those states taxes have ceased
to be burden.
Recognizing this fact and realizing
the utter futility of the general prop
erty tax, it has been gradually aban-
doned throughout the world until today
it is known nowhere except in what our
Canadian cousins call fourteen Of the
less enlightened states of the United
States" of which Washington is one.
Our constitution contains code COM
manding, restricting and prohibiting
our lawmakers as to an infinite variety
of details, confning US to a system
grown obsolete at the time it was
adopted, compelling us to follow the
methods of primitive times. Restric-
tions in our constitution forbidding the
use of the telegraph, the telegraph and
typewriter or other modern business
conveniences would have been no more
unwise or unreasonable than those con-
cerning taxation.
Those things which by their very ma
ture, can evade the local assessor, and
which any attempt to tax by the ordin-
ary methods would drive into hiding or
result in an entire confscation of in

taxation, the tax being levied at the
source and always at low specific rate.

bearing securities, etc., which are so

successfully, too. Such taxes are easily,
effectively and inexpensively collected,

ways toward reducing the taxes which
in our state rest with such unusual Sc

forms of property.
Such a system equalizes state taxes,
leaves local property to be taxed for
home purposes only, makes home rule
possible and brings home government
close home to the people.

Producers Association Incorporated

The business men of the town, who
have entered into the organization for
the purpose of stimulating the growing
of strawberries and creating market
for carload shipments, met at the office
of the Newport Washington Land Co.
and adopted articles of incorporation.
The organization is to be known as the
Newport Producers Association, and it
is capitalized at $25, 900, with shares of
par value of $25.
Incorporation is made under the laws
of Idaho, and the papers have been for
warded to Standpoint and Boise for re-
cording. The first board of directors
will be Charles M. Talmadge, George
T. Heslin, David Caldwell, E. w. An
derson and C. M. DeLong.
The association has bought 40 acres
of land from Charles M. Talmadge, and
the work of preparing the land for
planting berries is now in progress. Ten
or Is acres will be planted this spring,
and the remainder of the 40 acres will
be put in shape for planting next spring.
The association has purchased $4,000
Clark Seeding plants, and has enough
so that parties who desire to follow the
lead of the association can secure some
of these plants at cost to the associa-
ton, 81 per thousand. Orders for plants
may be left.with the Newport Wash
ington Land Co.

BALL SEASON OPENS SUNDAY
Priest River to Meet Newport
on Local Grounds.
Diamond Improvement Completed.

Next Sunday, April %, will witness
the opening of the baseball season for
Newport. The Priest River team will
be here to try conclusions with our
team, and as the up-river boys are con-
siderablY strengthened this year by the
presence of members of the Great
Northern engineering crew at work on
track revision, it is very likely that they
will give our fellows all the ball playing
they need.
Manager Neff and volunteers have
been busy fixing up the diamond so that
it is in classy condition. The infeld
has been dressed with coat of clay
and is faster than ever before. The
bleachers have been moved to the north
side of the grand stand, and the whole
grounds have been enclosed with high
board fence. Where the bleachers were
formerly located is now the automobile
enclosure.
The Newport team will blossom out
in fine new uniforms of gray, with ma
room trimmings. These suits were do
mated by business men of the town, and
in neat letters on the backs of the suits
are the advertisements of the various
lines of business.
The lineup of players this year will
disclose several familiar faces that have
done good service for Newport in the
past. In addition number of young
sters are aspiring for places on the
team, and Manager Neff is confident
thet he will be able to give the town a
fast team. The pitching end of the
game will be looked after by Navarro,
one of the fastest amateurs in the In
land Empire, who will arrive here the
last of the week to make his home.
Navarro was with Odessa last year and
started the season this year with that
town. In game last Sunday with
Ritzville he was credited with 16 strike
outs and allowed but a few scattered
hits. He is friend of Tom Judge and
the latter induced him to come to New
port. A young fellow by the name of
Richie is also working out and looks
like a coming pitcher.
