The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-10-26

When a newspaper or an in
dividual comes to you and asks
you to support the ring at the
courthouse for another two years,
be sure to find out what financial
interest they have in seeing the
ring kept in office. And then
ask yourself if it will make you
any money, or lower your taxes,
if you continue the ring. If any
body makes money by having a
ring, why not let YOU have
some of it, too?
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-10-26

Where do the courthouse depu-
ties get time to investigate tax
titles and pick out the nice ones
for themselves and their friends?
On their own time? Or YOUR
time, Mr.. Taxpayer? but the
ring must be preservedw
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-10-26

Lawrence claimed that he
could save the taxpayers mil
lion dollars a year, if they would
elect him governor. Lawrence
cannot be elected, but the tax
payers can save more than that
amount by electing Lester.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-10-26

The Statesman-Inde supports
the courthouse ring in its entir-
ETY., but advocates no one for
president and no one for gover-
nor and no one for congress.
Does that kind of scheme
sound good to you? Does it look
as though it was more a matter
Of dollars and ring patronage
than it is principle or desire to
see the best men win?
Roosevelt's advocacy of the
admission of the Japanese to full
citizenship is likely to lose the
coast states for him, and many
of his former ardent admirers
have come out against him.

Stocks Develop Pronounced
Weakness on Bear Pressure.

The leading speculative stocks were
under severe pressure yesterday ana
prices fer. Sentiment was more bear
isb. and traders ON the long side Of the
market we're unable to follow up the ad-
vantage which they gained on Wcdnes-
dav. Aft,r a snow Of strength in the
early trading he market responded u"
the effects Of aggressive bear selling, ana
was heavy during the remainder OF the
day. with periods Of pronounced weak
ness.
Union Pacific was once more IN" centre
! Of the bear attack, and its recovery ei
the previous day was cancelled by ii
2-point define. The movement i'm this
stock was Of the battling nature which
has attracted 80 much attention during
the last few weeks As'the price gave
way the supply seemed TO increase and
The manipulatiOn Of the stock was con-
ducted in such a way that traders We're
unable to discover the source Of the sell
ing. Various reports concerning tha
dividend poicy Of the company were
heard but they lacked authenticity and
attracted 20 serious attention. Owing
to the steady pressure against the stock
the December report Of earnings is
awaited with unusual interest.
Reading also showed pronounced
weakness at times, and fell back points
Southern Pacific. St Paul Canadian Pa
cifc and the copper and steel shares also
were under pressure, and their weaknes,
exercised a depressing effect upon tho
whole list.
The news from Washington concern
ing the progress of the Stanley invcsti-
CATION was accounted a factor in un-
settling the market. When the govern
ments suit for dissolution Of the United
States Steel Corporation was filed it was
assumed in the Street that the STANLEY
inquiry thereafter would possess little
significance. if II were not discontinued
The vigor with which the inquiry is
being pursued was disconcerting TO the
traders who hoped that the Unexpectedly
good statement Of the Steel Corpora
tions business in December might bt
used as basis for further advance in
the stock The question Of prices still
plays considerable part in estimating
the effect of the recent increase in the
steel business, many schedules remain
ing at the low levels established after
the "open market was declared.
Foreign bidding for money continued
Offers from London for funds over the
end OF the month were somewhat higher
than on Wednesday. some bids Of AZ per
| cent having been made With the local
rate for similar loans under 3 per cent a
number Of banks placed funds abroad.
Money in this market was abundant.
Receipts from the interior are large
enough to indicate another cash gain for
the week. The Bank Of England's
weekly statement reported 2 consider
able increase In gold holdings and a
large loan reduction.
