protested vigorously and continued to
lead the advance until the shooting be-
gan when General Huerto succeeded in
persuading him to enter a building in
a side street.
The revolt in it's unexpectedness was
such as to stupefy the populace, the

for whom to choose. This is popularity
given as the reason for lack of loot

Diaz succeeded in capturing the ar
senal after strong resistance. A large
number of rurals and mounted police
theE went over to his cause. Later an
artillery company from Tacubaya, with
dozen field guns, rode into the ar
senal grounds shouting for Diaz.
1t is reported that revolutionary
movements have begun IN other places
and the Zapatastas are said to be
fighting a short distance south of the
capital
General Diaz said he could offer no
protection to foreigners. He would
have between 1000 and 5000 men, he
said, including half the mounted police
and a large force of artillery but he
could not detach any for the service
asked.

Brewster heartlessly blocked their

1t was provided in the original bill
that only persons physically disabled
should have the assistance of election
officials. Brewster secured an amend
ment covering persons who could not

passed the house in that form and the
senate baked. Now the measure is
hanging fire and unless the Democrats
in the house reconsider and remove the
Brewster joker, the bill will go to con-
ference. In the meantime one of the

State 10 Aid Nation
In Protecting Birds

Assisting the federal govern
ment's movement to provide more
consistent national protection to mi
gratory birds through the proposed
Weeks bill. Chief Game Warden L.
H. Darwin has sent out a number Of
letters to the county game wardens
and commission chairmen through
out the state to ascertain local con-
ditions and the views of sportsme1
in the various counties.
The Weeks bill aims to prevent
wholesale slaughter of game birds,
particularly ducks. and proposes to
SO arrange the hunting seasons
through the United States that the
birds may be afforded better protec-
tion during the period of their
cross-country annual fights.
At present the game laws give
the Nimrods full sway at the birds
from October / to February 1, and
in some of the Eastern counties
duck hunting is permitted as early
as September 1. The new Weeks
bill proposes to shorten the open
season in Washington and Oregon,
making the open season only from
October l to January 16. thereby
cutting off fifteen days of the open
season now existing. Whether this
shortening of the hunting period
will benefit the protective measures
or not is what the federal govern
ment is trying to ascertain and for
this purpose the chief game war
dens of each state are endeavoring
to collect data which will assist in
providing consistent protection all
over the country.

Two Kinds Of Taxpayers

|
It does seem strange that in this
land of the free one of the basic
foundation principles of this repub-
lie, or more properly one Of the big
reasons for leaving the mother coun-
try, taxation without representation
should be SO prevalent.
How few of the property owners.
the ones who must pay the tax, who
must foot the bills. have a voice in
determining what the tax shall be
or how the money shall be expend-
ed.
Two classes of taxpayers are the
worst victims. One class consists
of the honest hard working citizen.
who is hard put to maintain his
family, clothe and educate his child
rem and care for such property he
has accumulated. He hasn't the
time to give the attention be should
to voting or to study Of the manner
in which his money is being spent.
He knows as we all do that as q
general rule public officials are hon
est and conscientious. It is the
rare exception when any public Off
cial sets out deliberate to squan-
der the taxpayers money or to steal
it.
The other class consists Of the big
corporations, the railroads. the cleo
trio light and power companies and
the thousands Of other business in
stitutions operating under corporate
name. Th. corporation can not
vote. The combined vote Of the
officers and stockholders of any cor
poration in probably no event would
equal the voting strength Of its en-
.ployes.
These employees may pay relatively
no taxes, may have little or no dir
|ect concern in whether governments
is economical or not. yet under our
present laws they may vote bonds
which the corporation will have e
pay.
While it is undoubtedly true that
nublic officials are honest. they are
but human. Every public oficial

Woman Buys
Famous Orcas
Pear Orchard

The famous George w. Myers
fruit farm on Orcas island has been
sold to Mrs. Leona Trimble. sue
cessful Canadian woman farmer,
who will make the island her home
in the future while still retaining
her Canadian grain farm and oper-
ating it. spending month or two
in summer in the northland. Mrs.
Trimble was one of the many Cana
dian tourists investigating condi-
tions in California last winter, when
she saw some literature concerning
the San Juan groupe and in which
accounts of Mr.. Myers success in
pear raising appeared. On her re-
turn trip to Canada she stopped off
at Seattle and AEacortes and was
impressed with the wonderful, posi-
pilities Of the Puget Sound country,
and became enamoured with the eli
mate. This led to a trip to Orcas
island and the purchase of the Mey-
ers farm.
The Meyers place, consisting of
40, acres, less than one-half of it
land that could be utilized, earned
its reputation and its income, which
was large. out of an orchard occu-
pying less than eight acres. and rel
atively the greatest profit was de-
rived from less than three acres of
the Buerre d'Ajou pear. which
fruit yielded by Mr.. Meyers fig
ures, always made conservatively
and reliably. from 81. .0c0 to 81, 200
per acre net yearly.
To Mr.. Meyers and this orchard
belongs the credit Of commercializ-
ing the Puget Sound grown Anjou
pear. For several years his pro-
duct topped the New York markets.
The great value lies in the demon
stration IF what has actually been
accomplished. Mr.. Meyers inter-
mixed his Anjou planting with
enough Of other varieties to insure
sufficient intermixing Of pollen for
good crop set. He grew vetch to
enrich the soil with nitrogen, fre-
quently plowing it under. Potash
was also applied. He pruned and
sprayed according to standard re-
qu;rements. The fruit was grown
to good sizes, and at harvesting time
was carefully picked. evenly graded
and packed according to rules and
regulations for pears. There we're
no culls nor scabby specimens on
which to pay long distance freight,
and the owner was well rewarded
for his venture and painstaking eff
forts. While he sold for satisfac-
tory price the new owner has both
the place and opportunity for fu-
ture revenue. but the example de-
monstrated by Mr.. Meyers is Of un-
told value to the entire Puget Sound
country.

The directors will begin next Mon

every land owner along the route and
secure subscriptions to assist in the
building of the road. The fact that
the 'Tice bill'' passed the house at
Springfield yesterday by vote Of Ill

senate by as large a majority, will
serve TO encourage the land owners
to be liberal in their subscriptions,
as this bill provides for state aid on
