PICTURESQUE HIGHWAY.

The proposed extension of the
Utopia road from Colfax up the banks
of the North Palouse to Glenwood,
as surveyed by County Engineer
John M. McCaw this week, will be
one of the most picturesque drives
in Whitman county. Few people
realize what beauty spot it is. Col
fax, like most other towns of eastern
Washington, does not have an over
supply of natural beauty spots. Here
is one yet almost unknown. The
opening of the proposed road will
mean much to the people of this city
Not only from an aesthetic view
point but from a commercial side as
well the road will be of value 1t
makes a direct way for the people of
Glenwood and vicinity to come to
this city and should be extended on
to Elberton. With the development
Of the irrigation and power project on
the North Palouse its value will be
enhanced many times.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The state tax commission has just
issued statement that shows the
taxes levied for all purposes in 1911
amounted to 100000 which is in
100000 over 1910. The taxpayer,
and this means every citizen, should
be interested in knowing what be-
comes of his money and how it is
spent. About $5,0O0,0OO goes for
state purposes and out of the total
for state purposes two millions are
spent for schools and about one mil
lion for highways, so it will be seen
that there is, figuratively speaking,
but a small amount devoted to state
administration expenses when the
cost of keeping the states wards in
the eleven state institutions is also
deduced.
The big part of the increase has
been levied in the counties outside
of the municipalities. Thus it will
be seen that a big portion of the
taxes is spent, not by the far removed
branches of government, but by the
local officials.
Now the people of this state, each
and every one of them, man, woman
and child, is paying about $29 a year
for taxation purposes. This is at the
rate OF about $3.50 a month. Less
than SO cents of this goes for state
purposes and of that about thirty
cents is spent for roads and schools.
The other two dollars and more is
spent by the local officials.

HUMAN LIFE VS.. HANDCAR

Is handcar worth more than a
human life? Is it well to take a des-
perate chance of losing a life to save
handcar? These questions arise
from the accident at Lacrosse last
week when Greek laborer lost his
life while trying to remove a handcar
from the track in front of a train
running at full speed. 1t is true the
work of section man includes TAX
ing long chances with death; but are
these men. who spend part of near
ly every day of the year on handcars.
properly protected?
The utter lack of protection for
handcar men was shown in the mar
row escape of the county coroner and
the investigation committee while re-
turning from the scene of the acct
dent which resulted in the death of
the Greek. Thomas Brown, editor OF

SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL

Colfax now has a live Commercial
club. 1t is up to everyone of us to
do our part to keep it alive and a
factor for good. There is plenty of
work to be done. The city park is
yet uncompleted, we have no public
library, proposed railroad extension
may need encouragement, the Pa
louise irrigation and power project is
in it's infancy, correspondence is re-
ceived almost daily from people at a
distance who are either seeking in
vestment, work or a business loca-
ton. All these things and many
more need attention. If you are not
already a member of the club, it is
not too late to join.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
nammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

POLITICS OR NO POLITICS.

An article regarding the county
classification appearing in the Com
moner of last week was such a gross
misrepresentation of fact that Sheriff
Carter has seen fit to give the true
situation on one point. His letter
will be found on this page.
In the same article Sheriff Carter
is accused of presenting a bunch of
affadavits that had not been signed
nor sworn to-" The fact of the case
is the papers which he presented con-
tanned signed statements that over
$50 residents had not been enumer-
ated in the federal census.
The Gazette is not fighting for or
against a change in the classification
of Whitman county and it is neither
censuring nor praising the county Of
ficers for the part they have taken in
the contest, but, when a newspaper
writer says the republicans are on
one side and the democrats on the
other, he is saying what he knows is
untrue.
Two republican commissioners
passed on the classification matter as
the democratic member of the board
was in California at the time and did
not return until three days after the
hearing, although the date of the
hearing had been fixed three months
before. What evidence the commits
sioners considered in reaching their
conclusion appears in the official pro-
ceedings of the board published in
this paper.
Aside from the evidence which was
presented and considered the board
has on file three petitions from diff
ferent parts of the county asking that
the board make no order lowering
the classification of the county. One
petition from Rosalia is signed by ga
men, all residents and taxpayers in
the county. The Lamont Commercial
club in letter to the commissioners
say their club is neither democratic
or republican but in scathing words
they ask the commissioners to turn
down the proposition" of changing
the classification. From Garfield is a
petition asking the board to make
no order for the purpose of lowering
the classification" This petition was
signed by R. c. Bellus, A. P. Johnson.
e. j. Byrne, l.. M. Carson, Claude
Westacott and other prominent BUSH
ness men and farmers, 20 in all.
These petitions were ont consider
ed at the hearing. We mention the
fact that they are on file, simply to
show that others besides county Off
GERS believed Whitman county is
rightfully in the seventh class and
are unwilling to see it changed.
Democrats as well as republicans
signed the petitions.

Free Tolls for American

Free Tolls for American Ships.
To the Editor of the Colfax Ga
zette:
A great question is now before the
congress. Shall the American gov
eminent charge the American peonIe
any tolls, for passage through the
fanama Canal of American shins
manned by Americans, loaded with
american products, shipped from one
American port to another American
port?
Our government has spent millions
of dollars annually improving o-r
rivers and harbors. No thought has
ever Deen entertained that the cost of
such improvements should be born
solely by the people who use them
by law, no tolls are charged through
any government-owned canal in th;c
country. The great 500 Canal. he
tween Lakes Michigan and Huron
through which passes the heaviest
tonnage in the world, is free The
ERIE canal, which, when enlarged ss
tne present law contemplates, is free
When completed. this canal will have
cost New York about 100000. 900

Canal: What would the citizens of
New York, and the whole American
people say if the cost of improving
the channels, that lead from New
YORK harbor to the sea, was assessed
against the traffic passing through
And yet there is grave probability
unless Immediate steps are taken Nv

the Clipper and one of the committee
of Lacrosse business men appointed
to conduct the inquiry, says:
righteous indignation was ex-
pressed by the committee who were
thankful to escape with their lives. If
no better protection is given to track
employees, the wonder is that they
have any section men at all. The in
vestigation brought to light the
astonishing fact, that the company is
liable to discharge a foreman who
loses a handcar, and this accounts in
a measure for the desperate chances
taken by the section men in trying to
save this piece of property"

Tiding Over the Unemployed.

Tiding Over the Unemployed.
New York City has a larger conting-
ent of unemployed that must be
looked after during the winter
months than any other American
city. One of the tide-over methods,
which the municipal board of chart
ties of New York is trying, is the
farm colony. The farm colony, as it's
name implies, is industrial-it af-
fords industrial opportunity, but not
exclusively agricultural. The indus
tries of such a colony are varied and
numerous. There is such a commun-
ity on Staten Island, the facilities of
which have been greatly overtaxed
during the past winter. 1t seems
that this colony is resource that has
solved certain phases of the unem-
ployed problem. There are other
phases, of course, which it will not
solve, but the farm colony-an in
dustrial community that offers food
and comfort in exchange for SER
vices-is in the right way of hand
