What Are Farm Fixtures?

At this season of the year, when
ibuyers of farms are getting ready
to take possession. we receive
number of inquiries concerning
farm fixtures, that is, things which
properly 60 with the land. No def
snite rules are laid down in the laws
of any of the states which will en-
able the buyer and seller to deter
mine whether some specific article
properly goes with the land or is
personal property, and therefore
may be removed by the seller. The
following we take from the book,
Law for the American Farmer"
"A fixture, in the law of real
property, is a piece of personal
property so affixed to land as to be-
come a part of the real estate. In
general, that which can be removed
without injury, and especially with
out even disfiguring, is not a fix
ture. AS a general thing, an actual
physical annexation and attachment
to the realty is essential to convert
personal chattle into a fixture.
There is no universal test whereby
the character of what is claimed to
be a fixture can be abstractly de-
termined. Neither the mode of an
tnexation nor the manner of use is
in all cases conclusive 1t must
usually depend upon the under
standing expressed or pacit of the
parties concerned. A rule which,
perhaps, comes nearer than any
other to being of general applica-
ton is, that to constitute fixture
1t is essential that the chattle be
annexed to the freehold and also
from an inspection of the property
in the light of the character of the
annexation. the nature, adoption
and usage of the annexed chattle
and of the structure to which il
was annexed at the time the annex
alton was made and of the relation
to the property of him who made il
that it should clearly appear that {
permanent accession to the freehold
was intended. Things may be fix
lures, although not fastened in any
way, as where they are parts o

stance, doors. window sashes, anC
blinds merely hung and capable o

TOO MUCH GRAVEL
Autoists Complain Of Method Of Grav
cling County Roads.-Too Thick
for Auto Travel.

Complaint is being made by auto
owners of Aberdeen and Hoquiam on
the proposed graveling of the beach
road between the big hill and Carl
son e. Callow's camp. 1t is under
stood that the contract calls for a
layer of gravel IL inches thick, from
the place where the gravel laid this
spring ends, to Carlson & Callow's
camp, and motorists claim that If
this is done it will practically ruin
the road for traffic the entire sum-
mer.
With the Montesano road in poor
condition for automobiles on account
Of soft gravel, and the beach road
put in a similar condition, the only
roads in the county would be out of
commission for the summer. Lyon &
Irwin are the contractors for the
beach road graveling and will start
the work in the near future.
1t is stated, however, that the plan
is to put thick coat of gravel and
then scrape it off to the sides, and
as the road packs and more gravel is
needed, to scrape the gravel back.

Declares Our Needs Now
Call for Coherent Action,

Neither the Republican nor the
Democratic platform contains the
slightest promise of approaching the
great problems Of today either with
understanding or good faith, and yet
never was there greater need in this
nation than now of Understanding
and of action taken in good faith on
the part of the men and the organi-
cations shaping our governmental
policy. Moreover, u needs are such
that there should DO coherent action
among those responsible for the con-
duct of national affairs and those re-
sponsible for the conduct. of State
affairs.
''The control of the various State
bosses In the State organizations has
been strengthened by the action at
Baltimore, and scant, indeed, would
be the use of exchanging the whips

genheim for the scorpions of ,Messrs.

iy. the Democratic platform not only
shows anzutter failhre to understand
either present conditions or tlle means
Of making these conditions better,
hut also q reckless Willingness TO try ia
attract various sections Of the electorate
by making mptuslly incompatible prom
ises which there is not the slightest In
tention of redeeming and which. IL re-
deemed, would result in sheer ruin.

~stitutional TO legislate In any shape
or way for the betterment of social
and Industrial conditions. The aboli-
tion of the protective tariff or the
substitution for it of a tariff for
event only. as proposed by the
Democratic platform, would plunge
this country into the most widespread
industrial depression we have yet
seen. and this depression would con
tinue for an Indefinite period.
There is no hope from the stand
point of our people from action such
as the Democrats propose. The one
and only chance to secure stable and
favorable business conditions in this
country while at the same time guar
anteeing fair play to farmer, con
sumer, business man and wage
worker, lies in the creation of such
a commission as / herein advocate.
Only by such a commission and only
by such activities Of the commission
will 1t be possible for us to get a rea-
sonably quick revision of the tariff
schedule by schedule revision
which shall be downward and not
upward, and at the same time secure
a square deal not merely to the manu-
facturer, but to the w-age-worker and
to the general consumer.

Insists on Formation
of Industrial Commission,

at is also asserted that the trusts
are responsible for the high cost of
living. / have no question that. as
regards certain trusts, this is true,
l also have no question that IL will
continue to be true just as long as
the country confines itself to acting
as the Baltimore platform demands
that we act. This demand is, in
effect, for the States and national
government to make the futile at
tempt to exercise fo~rty-nine over
eign and conflicting authorities in
the effort Jointly to suppress the
trusts, while at the same time the
national government refuses to exer-
else proper control over them.
There should be established at
once, as / have elsewhere said, I'M
der the national government an inter
state industrial commission, which
should exercise full supervision over
the big industrial concerns doing an
interstate business into which an elc-
ment of monopoly enters.
THE Democratic platform, repre-
senting the best thought of the &C
knowledged Democratic leaders al

reactionary. There is no progress in
it. 1t represents an effort to go back: to
put this nation of . i'd millions,
existing under modern conditions. back
to where Il was as a nation of twenty
Ave millions in the days Of the stage

is toryism, not progressivism.

Would Have It Differ
From the Tariff Board,

1T has afforded opportunity for
practically all of the abuses which
have crept into our tariff-making and
our tariff administration. The day of
the ~log-rolIing tariff must end.
1.-THE first step should be the crea-
ton of a permanent commission of
non-partisan experts whose business
shall be to study scientifically all
phases of tariff-making and OF tariff
effects. This commission should be
large enough to cover all the differ
emit and widely varying branches of
American industry.
"As a further means of disrupting
the old crooked, log-rolling method
of tariff-making, all future revisions
Of the tariff should be made schedule
by schedule as changing conditions
may require. Thus a great obstacle
will be thrown in the way of the
trading Nof votes which has marked
so scandalously the enactment of
every tariff bin of recent years. Only
by this means cad the tariff be taken
out of politics. The creation of such
a permanent tariff commission. and
the adoption OF the policy,o of schedule
by schedule revision, will do more to
accomplish this highly desired object
than any other means yet devised.

Wicked Longer to Refuse
TO Face Issues Of the Day.

"Tlle prime need today is to face
the fact that we are now in the midst
of a great economic evolution. There
is urgent necessity of applying both
common sense and the highest ethical
standard to this movement for better
economic conditions among the mass
of our people If we are to make II
one OF healthy evolution and not one
of revolution
ut is, fir the standpoint of our
country, wicked as well as foolish longer
to refuse to face the real Issues Of the
day. Only by SO facing them can we go
forwsrd, and to do this we must break
mp the old party organizations and OBJ
literate the old cleavage lines on the dead
issues inherited from fifty years &
Our fight is a fundamental fight
against both of the old corrupt party
machines, for both are under h do
minion OF the plumber league of the
professional politicians who r con-
trolled and sustained by the great
beneficiaries of privilege and reaction.
mo better proof can be given than
this of the fact hat the fundamental
concern of the privileged interests Is
to beat the new party. Some of them
would rather beat it with Mr.. VIII
son; other would rather beat 1t with
Mr.. Taft; but the difference between
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Taft they con-
slider as trivial, as a mere matter OF
personal preference. Their real fight
is for either as against the Pro-
gressives. They represent the al
lied r~eactionaries of the country, and
they are against the new party
because to their unerring vision it Is evil
dent that the real LANCER to privilege
comes from the new party ans from
the new marty alone.
