will use tonight is what is known as
an after-pieee and is written for laugh

DEMOCRATS SELECT
WA[LA WALLA

Seattle, March 9-The Woodrow
Wilson element in the democratic
state central committee, led by
Chairman Charles G. Heffner. won
in a sharp fight to call the demo-
cratic state convention at an early
date. Monday, May at Walla Wal
la. The Harmon and Champ Clark
elements combined in an effort to
fix the date later, but even a COM
promise motion setting it for May
3 failed by vote of % against and
10 for.
An innovation will be two-day
convention. The opening hour is
set for two p. IN. with a banquet at
night Walla Walla won the con-
for North Yakima. three for Aber
deem and one for Spokane.
The committee adopted a resolu-
ton recommending to the various
county committees that in counties
with towns of 5000 population or
over regular county conventions,
with delegates chosen at precinct
caucuses, be held to select delegates
to the state convention. In the
more sparsely settled counties the
matter of such a convention, as
against mass meeting, is left to the
Judgment of the county committee
men
B. o. Sweeney of Seattle and Sen
ator Henry NJ. White of Bellingham
urged the propriety of an early con-
vention. H. D. Merritt of Spokane,
a Champ Clark man and one of the
leaders in the fight for a later con-
vention. was angered by the implica-
ton that the so-called reactionary
element was behind the move.
Il have always stood for progress
siveness." he declared, and | will

Charles r. Hill of Whitman coun-
ty also heatedly resented the impu-
tation that he was a reactionary.
is there only one progressive
candidate in the democrat party?"
he demanded. Great God, has it
come to the point where we have
a Roosevelt in the democratic par
ty?"
A resolution was adopted recon-
mending c. C. Hill of Spokane to
the state convention for temporary
chairman.

HOW TAXES CLIMBING
HIGHER AND HIGHER

Lack of the nerve to veto appropri-
ations on the part of Governor Hay
has increased the states general tan
es more than 81 per cent during
Hays three years in Office. The chief
appropriations of the 1909 session
became law without his signature.
He did not possess the moral cour-
age to exercise his power of veto nor
to approve the bill. but did as he
has continued to do. 'straddled" the
issue.
1t is timely to note that included
in the unused appropriations of the
1909 legislature which lapseI, and
the amount of which Hay claims as
saving by his business administra
ton, was the appropriation for salary
of lieutenant governor. Hay
promptly grabbed the larger salary
o! governor when the death of Cos
srove made him executive and let the
Petty pay provided for lieutenant
governor lapse.
To get back to the state tax fig
ures.
In 1908. the last year of the Mead
administration the general state tax
was $1,197,750 on a valuation OF
S74S,593.942.
In 1910 the general tax was 81
371,259 on valuation of $790,4 49,.

In 1910 the general tax was 81,

In 1911 the general state tax was
$2,OO5,764 on valuation of $780,

CHAMP CLARK FOR
PALOUSE PROJECT

Pullman. Wash, March g
hamp Clark, speaker of the lower
house of congress, has written b. :.
Wadsworth of Connell. a member of
the permanent executive committee
appointed by the ColfaX convention
to push the PalOuse irrigation scheme
pledging his support to the enter
prise: that ever since he has been
in congress he has helped irrigation
projects of the western country and
is still working to promote legiti-
nate irrigation schemes. He said in
part:
Il am in favor of irrigating every
piece of land which can be irrigated
1t a cost that is not prohibitive TO the
settlers. | am in favor of doing it
as rapidly as possible, and as the
situation demands We must have
homes for our children somewhere
and it is better to keep them in AM
erica than to have them wander off
to some other country. | am willing
to cooperate as far as | can in any
feasible plan or scheme.

Mr.. Wadsworth is enthusiastic
over the support promised from tho
speaker and others in Washington.
