YOUNG JACK GUAM
CANNOT LAND HERE
UNTIL HE IS CURED

. A peculiar predicament confronts
Young Jack Guam, resident of the
territory for many years and now a
Chinese merchant Of Hilo Although
the federal court has granted him Q
writ of habeas corpus releasing him
from the custody of the immigration
officials, by whom he was seized on
his return from arecent trip to China,
the same court has declined to accept
any bonds, such as usually are fur.
nished by persons thus held pending
their vindication in court
Therefore Young Jack Guam must
remain in detention for an indefinite
period of time. The reason for re-
fusing to accept a bond is that suffi-
cient showing has been made by the
immigration authorities that the pfis-
oner is suffering from trachoma, q
communicable disease. There Is some
question as to whether the malady is
durable, but il is now certain that
IOung Jack Guam cannot be released
until he is cured He can return to
China before such time, so far as the
officials of this country are concerned,
but he cannot land here.

THE FIGHT ON H'BUFFIE

according to all the signs and portents, sffi-
dayits making serious charges against Captain
Of Detectives Arthur McDnffie are to be sprung
some time tomorrow, the attorney generals Of
flee having been in consultation today with at
least one member Of the detective force, who pre-
sumably is assisting in furnishing the informa-
tion against his superior.
McDuffie is expected to arrive on the Siberia
from the Orient tomorrow, so that he is to be
confronted at once with charges involving his
honesty in office The sheriff diselaims any
hand in the fight that is to be made on McDuf
fie though the information seems to have been
collected by the sheriff's subordinates. 1t is
hardly likely that the move is being made with
out Jarrett's tacit consent
The Star-Bulletin will not adiudge McDuffie
guilty or not guilty until he has had an opportu-
nifty to be heard in his own defense The cir
cumstances surrounding the fight against the
captain of detectives are no guarantee of SINGER
fly and good faith on the part Of those making
the fight, if advance rumors as to the charges are
correct Certainly the allegations have been q
snspiciously long time in coming to the surface.
Even though this paper has criticised McDuffe
in some Of his official acts it is unwilling to see
him made the goat for others.
The thing most needed in the police depart.

Incompetence of the administration as well as

SALOON CLOSING REDNCEs CRIME

The Sacramento Union thus deals editorially
with saloon-closing effects:
The liquor men are fond OF sending out elab-
crate figures to show that prohibition does not
prohibit They have let their enthusiasm on this
subject run away with their judgment as they
now assert and present figures to uphold their
contention that the increase of dry territory has
increased the consumption Of liquor
In this connection the figures presented to the
city trustees of Ofoville by the city marshal are
most interesting and Instructive The Oroville
Register says editorially:
eAceordiDgto City Marshal Curran, the trus-
tees may as well abandon their lease on the city
jail and thus save $3.50 year. During the quar-
ter that ended September 80, but nine arrests
were made by the police. During practically the
whole time the Jail doors have swung wide open.
ct is significant fact that during the same
period, according to the report of City Marshal
Mccoy of Marysville, 495 arrests we're made by
the Marysville police.
sTle reason for the difference lies directly at
the doors of the Marysville saloons. The saloon
is the fountain-head of the great stream of
American crime Fortunately there appears to
be growing realization of this fact.
These figures speak for themselves Oroville
and Marysville are made up of similar people.
AIarysville men are not radically different from
those of the neighboring city. The laws under
which the two places operate are about the same
except that in 0roville no liquor is sold, or at
least there are no saloons.
In the dry town there were nine arrests for
all causes in three months. In the wet town
there were 495.
In Groville the Jail doors stood open during
most of the quarter while in Marysville it is
doubtful if the prison was ever without tenant
during the same period
The logic of figures is hard TO answer Will
any Of those who plead the cause of the liquor
interest answer the 0royille argument?
If the closing of the saloons of oruville has
increased the amount of liquor used There, the
wholesale liquor men should rejoice Il has also
practically eliminated crime.

Sheriff Jarrett is confronted with a mass OF
conflicting evidence in the Sizemore case but
the main point has never been clouded The
Korean prisoner went to the hospital from the
effeetsAof brutal beating and if Officer Size
more did not do the beating, then it was the Ha-
.waiian lad who mixed into the affray. In the
former case, Sizemore has shown himself un1iee-
essarily brutal; in the latter case, he has shown
himself unable to protect a prisoner.

EDITOR
] STATESMAN REED

Senator Reed of Missouri, the statesman who
is a member of the senate lobby probe commit
tee and who, in that capacity, took violent issue
with anything that looked like a good point for
Hawaii and Hawaii's position, is the hero of the
following story *
Washington, Oct 4.-The senate judiciary commit
tee room where the recent lobby investigation
held was the scene Friday of personal encounter
between Senator Reed Of Missouri of the leading
members OF the investigating committee, and John
Mcintyre said to be former officer of the National
Typothetae. whose name figured in the correspond
ence of Martin NJ. Mulha the legislative agent for
the National Association of Manufacturers
There were few Witnesses to the episode. but it is
said Senator Reed struck Mcintyre in the face. ac-
complaining his action with emphatic statement
to the fasity of certain allegations contained in
an affidavit which Mcintyre supposed to have in
his possession.
The report of the. lobby probe committee
shows again and again an attitude of mind on
the part of the senator from Missouri that was
more than prejudiced and his remarks often Dor
dered on gratuitous insult. His calber may be
accurately measured from the episode told of
above.

was defeated. In 1909 another amend
ment, similar to the one of 1907, but
going more into detail and specifically
eXempting certain classes Of church
and other public property, was sub
mitted to the legislature for its ap-
proval, but by this time the law ex-
empting moneys and credits had been
passed and the bankers thought prob
ably the passage of such an amend
ment would bring about the taxation
of moneyed capital, consequently all
of their influence was directed to-
wards the defeat of the amendment,
with the result that twelve senators
voted for the amendment and twenty
seven against it, three of the twenty
seven being bankers. In 1911 practi-
cally the same amendment was sub
mitted to the legislature, but the
chairman of the committee to whom
the bill was submitted placed it in
his inside pocket and calmly refused
to allow it again to see the light.
Every man who reads this should
prepare himself to keep in touch with
the taxation committee in the two
houses in the Legislature this winter
and demand that action along lines
suggested by the commissioners be
not again over ridden by the desire
of special interests. Let the tax
payers keep track of the legislature
and see who his friends are.

TAX COMMISSIONS REPORT.

The Ranch is in receipt of the re-
mort Of the State Board of Tax Com
missioners. Beside world OF lnfor-
nation regarding the rate, amount
and class of taxes raised by the state,
there are some pages of recommends
lions with which the taxpayers should
be familiar.
The commissioners call attention to
the fact that in 1905 the state owed
General fund OF Indebtedness OF ST.
35O 600. They formulated a law for
inheritage tax collection which has
in the last five years paid off this en-
tire Indebtedness with no expense to
the public. During the past year
this form of revenue produced more
than Sl4, 600 a month. They call at
tention further to the fact that in
1903 when the commission was Great
ed the steam railroads of the state
we're paying scarcely S3l, 736 year IN
taxes. While the same railroads last
wear paid 81, 653, 600 in taxes. Most
of this great increase was due to the
laws enacted at the suggestion of the
tax commissioners. Last year the
board collections of Indirect revenues
alone we're 1868, 600. SO successful
has been the work of our tax commits
sioners that other states are putting
similar laws into effect.

Editors Note

With this issue appears probably
the last regular work OF DR.. f.
Walden. For the past 10 years DR..
Walden has had charge of the hor-
ticultural department. He brought
to this work the experiences OF 5O
years in fruit growing. He brought
to this work ripe Judgment, indie
fatigable industry and broad un-
derstanding. The work was OF
great value and it is with the most
sincere regret that this announce
ment is made.
Dr.. Walden lies quite i'll in
his home at Seattle. While work.
ing on his copy for the January 10Th
issue he was stricken with serious
loss of memory.
Yesterday we stood at his bed side
when he told us he feared his work
was done, and owing to his old age
he could not continue his work for
The Ranch. He loved this work
and said that the pleasantest hours
of his life was in writing for others
what long life's experience has
taught him. He desires to say
farewell to those readers and friends
who have been so kind to him dur
ing these many years, and says II he
is never able to resume the work of
his department, he bids them good
bye.

promised to give the proposition their
heartiest support. Mayor Cotterill's
effort to establish city public mar
ket in Seattle was endorsed. The
body went on record as opposing the
change of the state constitution in al
lowing aliens to hold real estate, and
criticised the Seattle Chamber of
Commere in endeavoring to change

Thomas, one of the leading farmers
of the valley, was made chairman,
and the editor of The Ranch was made

permanent organization was formed.
Every citizen of the south end who
is interested in the continued growth
and development Of the south end is
requested to become member. The
following were appointed to draft a
suitable constitution and by laws:
L. Y. Williams, Kent; Chas. Taylor,
Kent; Fred Nelson, Orillia; Frank
Terrace, Orillia, and J. d. Dean,

have charge Of matters from legisla-
ture was composed of Robert Bridges,
Orillia; James Hayes, Auburn j. |.
Gilmore, Auburn; Chas. J. Nelson,
O'Brien, and julius Loncke, O'Brien.
The latter committee organized at
once and will begin their duties.
The organization committee will meet
at the office of The Ranch, January
9th, at 2 o'clock, for the purpose Of
finishing their work.

and the prosecuting attorney OF King

of the illegal profits they have wrung
from the trusting farmers.
