MAYOR CoTTERlLL is
OUT FOR THE SENATE
Rumor That He Will Get Support o.
Wilson Administration in Pre-
ference to Turner

SPOKANE. Dec. 20.-That Mayor
George Cotterill of Seattle will be the
democratic senatorial candidate to get
the Endorsement of the Wilson admin
istration and not Judge George Turner
of Spokane, is the declaration of War
rem W. Tolman, ambassador of the
democratic organization here, who has
just returned from the national capi
tai where he went to see if he could
not divert the democratic patronage
of the state to the regulars instead
of the insurgents.
"The president and his advisers und
erstand, l think" said Tolman, that
Mayor Cotterill is their sort of man,
a really progressive democrat. They
will not support Judge Turner and I
think the administration will give a
tacit Endorsement of Cotterill."

Public Service Corporations
to Bear all Expense Of
the State Government
ELIMINATE STATE LEVY
Counties Could Then Make
Such Assessment Valuations
as They Would Choose

OLYMPIA, Dec. PA revision of
the taxation system in. this state that
would, in form, wipe out the state
tax levy, is being considered by the
state tax commission. In all prob
ability there will be submitted to the
next legislature constitutional
amendment such as would permit the
classification of property for purposes
of taxation in such form that taxes
levied on a given class might be ap-
piled to given source of cost of
government.
While the idea has been expressed
by former commissions of this and
other states, and an effort made to
place it upon the books in the form
of law, the present commissioners
believe that the time is more nearly
ready for the measure now, in it's
evolved form, than previously.
Eliminate State Levy.
The present commissions plan
would eliminate the necessity of levy
| ing the customary state tax on all
property in every county and munich
pality 1t would do SO by applying
the taxes accruing from such public
service properties as railroads, inter.
urbans and telephone and telegraph
holdings to the payment of the cost
of administering the government of
the state. To the revenues from this
source would be added also the indi-
rect revenues collected by the var.
| ious state departments, such as IL
censes and fees.
Those who favor this plan argue
that it would leave the counties un-
hampered by the necessity of state
levy on all their property. 1t is also
argued that it would eliminate the
annual controversy between the coun-
ties over the assessment of railroads,
and the spreading of the large termin-
al values which lie in only few
counties over all the mileage of the
entire system 1.-THE co npany in ques,
ton. and at the same time give to the
county that has little or no actual
railroad property within its borders
benefit which it would otherwise
not feel and to which it appears en-
titled in view of the fact that there
is no commercial property in the state
that does not bear it's share in ere
ating the railroads and the necessity
for them.
Up to Each County.
'If this plan were adopted" said
a member of the commission, "it
would put squarely up to each county
the matter of levying a tax on its
own property sufficient to bear the
expenses of it's own county govern
ment and activities. 1t would dc
away with the fear on the part ol
the counties of the state tax levy
which has resulted in the past in g
tendency on the counties part te
place their property valuations fol
taxation purposes as low as possible
in order to bear as small share as
possible of the state tax. Eliminate
this state levy by having the public
service property, the fees. licenses
and the like bear the cost Of thu
state government alon, and you TAX;
away the ground for the controvers!
over the equalization Of valuations

Novel Banking
Plan Proposed
Chain of Rural Banks Suggested
In q Bill by Senator
Fletcher.

Washington, Aug. "a ma
tional rural banking system was
proposed by Senator Fletcher.
chairman Of the American com
mission on rural credits and also
of the federal commission on rural
credits, appointed by the presi-
dent.
The bill proposes a system of
national rural banks owned and
operated by farmers, a state ma
tional and rural national bank in
each state to be owned and con-
trolled by local banks as stock
holders and a national rural bank
of the United States located in
Washington, but owned entirely
by the state rural banks.
To supervise the proposed. chain
Of banks there would be created
in the treasury department a
division of rural banking under
the direction Of a rural bank
ing board" to consist of the
secretaries Of the treasury, ag-
griculture and labor.
The division would be under
the immediate direction Of the
director of rural banking, chosen
by the president.
The main purpose Of the banks
would be to furnish funds to
farmers on long term farm bonds
or notes.. secured by liens on
farms at not to exceed 90 per
cent of the assessed value.

HAD AN EXCITING
TIME AT MINOT

The Industrial Workers of the
world known as the 1. w. w. 8,
Or better known as the 81 Won't t
Work" class, are causing consid-
cradle excitement in Minot this
week. The Fargo Forum gives
them the following write-up:
Very little sympathy is being
expressed for the men at Minot
who are organizing to force the
farmers lin that section Of the
state to pay outrageous prices fol
labor. The 1. w. w. has gained
very unenviable reputation.
This is the same organization
that, during the strike Of the
textile districts Of the east, went
through the streets waving red
flag and carrying a banner with
this inscription:
"No God, no master.
It now comes to light that this
campaign at Minot was organized
at Duluth, and that men were
sent to Minot for the express pul'
pose of organizing the drifting
transient labor element for
higher wages than ever paid be-
FORE"
Minot has long had some. very
radical socialists, and it is said
that many farmers in that section
have embraced their doctrines.
1t is probable that this effort on
the part Of the 1. w. w. to "or-
ganize'' the transient labor ele
ment to the greater dteriment OF
the farmer, who is already har-
rassed by the labor problem, will
open the eyes of such farmers
as have followed the teachings OF
the socialist paper there. h
The farmers in that section
seem to be between the devil and
the deep blue ocean. Not only
are the laboring men organized
for higher wages in the fields,
but the threshing machine owners
are organized thoroughly and the
farmer must pay the price they
set. .,,i,.
No one denies labor the right
to organize for its own protection,
but the Industrial Workers Of the
Word, have gone further than
any other organization of the
right of labor. They make
this vital mistake. They say
that labor produces everything,
which is an absolutely untrue
and false doctrine. Labor would
not amount to anything were it
not directed by brains, and the
i. w. wv. are unwilling TO con-
.cede brains any place in their
scheme.
There is no place il North Dar
