A Dilemma.

Victor f. Meyer, contractor OF the
firm of Mears & Meyer, who graded
and improved Eastbay avenue. is
meeting with embarrassment in col
Letting the $12,O due-about 81, 900
at last accounts only, had been paid
AS noted in the STANDARD, compli-
cations arose over the title of the
street on which the improvement was
made, consequently AUDITING owners
hesitated about paying their assess
ments either in full or by Install
ments.
According to reports, improvement
bonds Of District sc have not been
sold. Some of the owners feel they
will be safer to get the title to the
street perfected before paying, than
by accepting promises. The contract
ors are handwriting citizens, and feel
that they ought to obtain whatever
may be coming to them without de-
lay.

\ Needed Reform

Su.e ~ our leading citizens and
honest taxpayers have been express
my their regrets about the heavy
cost and expense involved by the
county in the jury trial condemna
ton case, in which the State seeks
to release property located in the
vicinity Of the old capitol grounds for
public purposes. There seems to be
an honest difference Of opinion as TO
values between the owners and the
State, 50 the only way open is to try
them oul in court if the parties will
not agree to .rbitrate their differ
ence>, which might have been done
al oue-tenth of the present cost of
the proceedings now going forward.
The present legal machinery is
cumbersome for the settlement of
such differences and ought to be
modified.
In the first instance the question
Of values should be settled by arbi-
tration OF three persons selected by
the parties, two of which having the
power to decide. If the parties can
not agree on the arbitrator then let
the court make the selection. If any
person interested felt aggrieved he
might appeal to the Superior Court
giving an adequate bond to cover
costs caused by reason of the appeal
which the owner must pay in the
event he did not recover a greater
amount than that which. was fixed
by the arbitrator. 1t is safe to say
not one case out of fifty would be
appealed. OF course if the other
party appealed he. she, they or it,
should pay the extra cost and eX-
pense if the valuations were not
measured by the jury's verdict in
the Superior Court.
This procedure is in force in many
of the States of the Union and works
well, and why should Washington
have such an Anticipated and cumber-
some method for settling such con-
troversies which are liable to arise
frequently in the development of this
new commonwealth?

MAY Prove A LESSON IN COMpETI-
TIoN.--It is very apparent that steam
Is constantly and surely being sup
planted by electric power in the in
dustrial and economic life of the CIV
ilixed world. With reference to the
supplanting of steam power on the
lines of transportation, q notable in
stance is cited in Ohio, in common
with other localities. In that State
networks of electric lines of trans
portation are being installed between
cities, towns and localities wherein
steam power has been discarded,
steam power being retained for
transportation of the heavier COM
modities and for through passenger
service plying between the large
cities, many of which lines may be
using this newer power before long.
This tendency may induce railroad
companies using steam power to sell
their properties to the government
for q good sum, as we'll as the old
line telegraph systems. and substi'
tute wireless telegraphy, and then
in both lines Of transportation and
communication give Taft's and Jim
Hills competitive schemes a fair
test and thus the people will ascer-
tain the merits of the competitive
pOlicv.

ABOUT eighteen months ago man
living in this county, whose niece
had been keeping house for him for
several years, was found dead in his
bed one morning. During his life
time he had told his neighbors he
wanted this niece to have his prop
erty at his decease, in consideration
of the faithful and valuable services.
He died without making will and it
would seem the property, amounting
to about 81, 400 in value, will 60 to
her father and another brother of

Trr4i~lg'< N,gr.iar OF tins month
has began an expose OF the methods
by which the cou'ts have been swayed
L.; the power OF corruption, and il
begins Il series of statements, dat
ing back several years. and citing
examples Of which our people have
had ample knowledge and on which
they have passed Judgment.
In the first article, c. =. Connolly.
the author. shows excellent p1r-
traits OF the principal characters,
auOnr whom are Milo \. Root, who,
as a Judge Of the Washington Su-
premc Court. permitted Judge Cor
don to write an opinion favoring the
Great Northern Railway. formerly
Chief Justice NJ. J. Gordon, late at
torncv for the Great Northern Rail
way. and Senator S. II. Piles OF
Washington. whose law firm was the
principal agency III prolonglng the
notorious Sullivan case.
The article and its successors are
likely to lift the roof off the political
fabric. Hitherto Judges have been
needlessly immune from just criti-
cism. Why? Simply from a belief
that their high calling should be re-
garded so pure as to be above sus'
picion. But the marked degeneracy
of the times has dragged them into
this spotlight until further forbear-
ance ceases to be virtue. He says,
the series of articles, beginning years
ago, has carried him into almost
every State in the Union, and laid bare
records of both State and Federal
courts, high and low. He has I'M
earthed an astounding tale of judic-
ial perversion and malpractice. A
state of affairs exist which, unless
checked, cannot but be menace to
the country.
The statement, in full. regarding
corruption in this State is interest
ing reading, but is too long for our
columns at this time.
The next installment of Big
Business and the Bench" will ap-
pear in March Ererybody.

Oh. Goa sistency!

In reply to a message from VIM.
B. Mckinley, director Of the Nation
al Taft Bureau. asking that he add
his testimony to the attempt to ere
ate Taft boom, the Governor very
properly replies that it is matter
that should be left entirely to the
people, and State governments should
not attempt to influence the voters;
that such action is repugnant to good
citizenship" and then goes on to say:
Il do not believe in swapping
horses in midstream, and that l
believe it the duty of every true Re-
publican to support Mr.. Taft for re.
nomination and election. l unquali-
fiedly endorse the Presidents ad-
ministration. l am convinced that
with Mr.. Taft's reelection we will
enter upon an era Of prosperity that
will be world vide and continue for
many years to come" Despite his
statement that State Administra-
tions should refrain from an attempt
to influence voters, could he have
made more positive and unqualified
effort for that purpose, in the SEN
fences that follow. and signed as
Governor of Washington? We
think not. And it shows how in
consistent and unprincipaled Repub-
lican rulers can be, and how careless
of consequences when placed upon
the altar of judgment by thinking
people.
