IAGY RESIDENT HERE
FOR NEARLY % YEARS.


When you stop to fill out your bal
lot next Tuesday you want to stop and
remember that age, not a great deal
but considerable amount of 1t, Is a
prime factor to be considered in the
election of various county officers and
particularly of those whose duties, If
elected are enhanced or decreased
from the standpoint of value to the
county in corresponding ratio to that
officers knowledge of the county and
its preceding development.
d. M. Kagy. the Democratic candi-
date for commissioner from the Second
district, is no spring chicken" neith-
er Is he old, worn out and "0ld fogy-
ish." The fact of the matter Is that he
is just few months more than As
years old, which means that he is
right at the prime of life, with the
enthusiasm and progressive ideas of
youth tempered by longer experience.
Mr.. Kagy was born in Iowa, June 8,
1866. He attended the common schools
there and then the Ohio Northern uni
versity at Ada, Ohio, for two years.
He came to ThurstOn county In 1889
and has lived here the greater part of
the time since. residing now on the
homestead Of H. G. Parsons on Cham
bers Prairie, taken up in 1856. In
1893 he was married to Leila Parsons,
daughter Of this old Thurston county
pioneer.
Mr.. Kagy has lived in Thurston
county for the greater part of the
last % years. In that time he has
seen 1t grow remarkably. has noticed
the causes incident to that growth and
so Is In . position to give. greater
stimulus to those causes SO far as he
IL able, II elected commissioner. Under
the circumstances. is he not mighty
good man to select?

responsibility of handling the expendi-
ture of funds for the numerous COM
paratively smaller items which mount
I'D high in the course of year. He
has the power to reduce those as much
as possible without injuring the coun-
ty, and lie has the power, too, of letting
them slide by unheeded and disre-
garded until they amount to consld>
cradle sum.
Jimmy" believes his experience as
city clerk for six years, when he Oc-
cupied a similar position in relation to
city affairs, and when he conducted
the city government on q more eco
nomical basis in that respect than 1t
has been operated since, fits him to
handle the county's business. So do
lot of other people who remember his
business-like, honest and economical
administration.
They realize the fact that the pres
ent city government Is costing them
considerably more than when Jimmy"
had it in charge. They know him for
a capital executive, a careful purchaser
and an economical manager who could
save the county money In such q p0-
sitiOn.
Jimmy" has been waging an ag-
g-essive fight in this campaign. He
has been recalling the constant In
crease in taxes to the voters where
ever it was necessary to recall them.
Usually it was unnecessary. He has
been calling attention to the fact that
there appears to be no end in sight.
except that the taxes will keep right
on growing, under Republican rule. He
knows the tax question, he knows
where the extravaganza Is paramount
and he is going to put his finger on it
and stop it SO Ter as he is able II he Is
elected.
He is without q doubt the man
whom you want In that Office for the
next two years. He Is man who
knows your county, who knows what
you want done and how you want 1t
done, who knows that II he can save
you money you will stand back Of him
and who will obtain that endorsement
through the sheer ability of business
like, economical executive. contrasting
his management and his economy to
that to which you are accustomed.
His six years experience In the city
clerks Office has fitted him admirably
for this position. He knows the de-
tails of Office arrangement, some more
of those little ways Of saving money
that mount up during the year: he
knows the duties Of the ONCE and how
to transact them: he knows the SEEM
ingly routine portion of keeping cor
rect and proper set Of books: he knows
the things he will have to attend to,
the business he will have to handle,
the responsibilities he will have to
carry, and he knows how to carry
them out to the best efficiency In the
most economical way.
Elect Jimmy" Dever and you win
have chosen q man who win conduct
the county auditors ONCE In the cheap
est and best and the most eficient
fashion.

OF taxing you? Oh, wouldn't you?
Well, anyway, before there's fight

Governor Hay is figuring on doing, or
rather, that's what he says he's figur-

terence whether you ever use your car
or not or how much you use it; if
you've got an engine in it and it's got
some horsepower, you would be taxed
on the horsepower rating, not on how
much you used the machine.
Now here's another way of reaching
the same end and a way that won't
stick you unless you use your car and
will tax you then only on the pro rata
number of miles you have driven your

TONY" IS MAN WHO IS
OUT FOR COUNTY CLERK

Everybody calls him Tony" His
parents call him Anton but the fel-
lers" call him TONY" and TONY" it
has been for SO years anyhow-maybe
a little longer-is now and probably
always will be. If you look in the
family Bible you will see it written
this way, Anton J. Frisch"-and does
it really make any difference whether
it is Anton" or just Tony"
If you look into his smiling face
the chances are you will want to call
him Tony" too-he just strikes you
that way. You walk up to him and
stick your hand out for a shake and
the first thing you know you're patting
him on the back just as if you'd known
him all your life.
For "TOny"-not "A. j." but TONY
is we'll known around Olympia and
Thurston county, and when he accept
ed the Democratic nomination for
county clerk his host of friends got
busy right away There is only one
result to a stunt like that-if you want
to see TONY" after January l, drop
into the office on the second floor of
the courthouse.
Tony came here August 4. 1880,
when he was 4 years old. He started
running around these United States
only about four years before. Novem-
Der 10, 1876, the day the big Centen-
NAL exposition in Philadelphia closed.
Brooklyn is where he halls from,
but he did not stop there long until his
parents joined the Newell colony and
came to Olympia in 1880. Tony has
been here ever since, except for eight
or nine years he worked for lumber
company in Chehalis county. He went
through the Olympia schools and then
business college; for the last few
years he has been working as book
keeper for the Pioneer Iron Works,
incidentally he is proprietor OF
the White House.
Tony's campaign ideas are not Of the
Ihallelujah order-he Is not going
around telling everybody how great a
man he is or anything like that, but

So you see, if you don't wear and tear,
you don't pay, and if you do wear and
tear, you pay only your share OF 1t.
1t isn't as hard thing to do, either,
as might appear on the face Of it. 1t
probably would cause temporary fur
ry in the sale of speedometers or auto
meters, or whatever they are. but after
that it would be simple matter OF
seals and monthly or bi-mOnthly read
ings. Doesn't it seem more reason
able?
Bob has another good idea he Is ad-
vocating in this campaign-he's Con-
necticut Yankee, which may account
for. the ideas. This one is that the
states school and other granted lands
not adaptable to agriculture should be
reserved by the state and the money
derived from their products. lumber
principally, be saved as permanent
asset of the state. for the benefit Of tn.
ture generations.
Bob,s idea is to cut on the timber on
these lands now, sell 1t and deposit
the money in q permanent fund. the
state still retaining the land. Then he
would have the state continue to hold
these lands until they reforest them.
selves, and repeat the operation. In
other words, 90 far q these non-agri.
cultural lands'are concerned. he would
have the state 60 into the timber rails
ing business through natural processes
retaining title to the lands and dep0s
iting the money derived from the sale
Of their products to its credit.
These are the two important matters
he IL putting forward In this cam
rAign, but to say he hasn't any others
and others that win work to the I'D
vantage OF Thurston county In particu
lar and the state In general would moi
be doing credit to Bob or that Connec
ticut Yankee training.
Bob has been state representative
before, serving term eight years ago
He did SO well then his Democratic
brethren in the county wanted him t.
run again this year and he did when
they convinced him he could be elected
You see, Bob hasn't lived here 20 year,

That is why Robert A. Aver, of La

LYNCH BRINGS BROAD
!. EXPERIENCE TO OFFICE


Educational training, experience, in
dustry, preparation, study-these are
some of the qualifications needed by a
man who aspires to be prosecuting at

candidate, has those qualifications.
Coupled to them should be we'll

and prosecuting" realization of the
fact that the true success of the Office
is not measured by the number of con-
victions obtained, irregardless of the
by the number of actual offenders con-
victed. John S. Lynch has that reali-
zatiOn.
Lynch is AZ years old; that means
experience. He was born in Sterling,
Mass, attended the public schools
there and graduated from the West
Boston high school. Then he obtained
his bachelor of arts degree from Colby
university; that means his educational
training preliminary to his study of
law was more than the ordinary.
He obtained his degree of bachelor
of laws from Boston University School
of Law, one of the best law schools in
the country, graduating there in 1897.
That means capital legal education.
Here comes in the important item of
experience. For three years he prac-
ticed law in Lawrence, Mass. then he
went to Boston. where he remained for
several years, working up an extensive
practice in the handling of land dam
age cases and engaging in general prac-
tice.
Then he moved to Seattle, where
he resumed his practice. Later he be-
came connected with the city treas
urer's office and year ago came to
Olympia as law clerk for the industrial
insurance commission. Last spring he
opened a law office in Olympia and re-
sumed his practice.
He has practiced law. therefore, In
two states, four cities and four coun-
ties, gaining an unusually broad expert
ence and particular insight into the
manner in which the different states.
cities and counties conduct their legal
departments. He knows his profes.

THE MACADAMED AVENUE.

We referred the other dav 20 the
macadam paving on Second avenue as
something petitioned for by the prop
erty owners there, and unsatisfactory.
In this we spoke from personal knowl-
edge, having opposed that form of pay
ing AS unfit for city. We have seen
much OF macadsm, good and bad, but
have never seen any fit for city streets;
that could be kept clean, or that did
not need constant repairs almost from
the first.
The News last night takes the occa
sion OF our remarks TO make r hostile
reference to the American administra-
tion, which Welded to the pleas Of the
Second avenue club, and put in maca
dam, when it should have put in as
phalt. as some Of the property owners
desired at the time. But the News S
was done, to which it is only necessary
to say that all macadamizing on the
city streets is improper and unsatis-
factory, Any macadam road or street
quickly wears into ruts and holes if not
constantly watched and kept in repair,
And a rutty, worn macadam road or
street is about the worst sort Of road
way there is.
There was a good deal of sentiment
along Second avenue in opposition to
macadam, because of knowledge Of its
unfitness for streets, since it can never
be kept clean and quickly wears into
holes. This was the trouble with the
great turnpikes of the East and South,
that were built as well, and of as good
material as it was possible to get; they
were always dusty, and had to be Wig
ilantly watched and repaired constantly.
But the Second avenue club insisted
upon macadam, in spite Of the better
judgment, got it, paid for it, and now
it is all thing of the past.
We speak of this not TO arouse any
sleeping dogs but to illustrate n
present situation on tho north bench,
and to ask all concerned to be careful
in what they do, if, indeed. it is neces-
sary to do more than grading and gut
terinp at this time
