1t was later proved to be false

because of strict state laws against

the charges would be found to have no

would we, but if we were guilty we
would rather be suspected than con-

sap county is to be commended for vot.
ing against house bill No. 1874, which
calls for the appropriation of $500, 200
to rebuild the Cheney normal school,
which burned last summer. The state
of Washington still has two normal
schools-one at Bellingham and one
on the east side, at Ellensburg, and
has about as much use for third as
the people have for three state capitols.
1t is to be hoped, If the bill passes the
senate that Governor Lister will stand
by his guns and veto 1t. The people OF
the state generally ought to protest
against this waste of money.

bridgeport Republican,
A bill to pension school teachers has
been introduced in the senate and the
committee has reported favorably on
the measure. We wonder what our
senators are thinking of in spending
their time considering such an idea.
Teachers are no more entitled to pen
sion than people following many other
professions. Members of the legisla-
ture should keep in mind the fact that
many a farmer has to rustic mighty
hard to get the money to pay his taxes
and there is complaint everywhere
that they are too high. The Republi-
can is opposed to this bill for the rea-
son that it is wrong and not demanded
by a majority of the people. Kill it
quick

right for Adams county but it is a
mighty poor proposition for Lincoln

the proposed action will remove from
Lincoln county nearly one-fourth of It's
taxable property and will increase our
taxes for county support nearly 33h
per cent.

Tax Legislation Needed.
(Mason County Journal)

If the legislature is inclined to per-
form a real service for the benefit of
the poor and suffering taxpayer the
matter of tax rebates and delinquency
penalties might receive attention. The
per cent rebate for advance payment
of taxes was offered years ago, to en-
courage people who had the money to
pay in taxes enough to keep the coun-
ty government moving, while the pen
atty of, Is per cent was applied to de-
linquents. The first simply offers a
premium to the taxpayer who has plen-
ty of money and will pay his taxes at
the proper time, while the usurious
rate charged the delinquent simply
adds to his burden, or delivers his
hard-earned property to some land
shark for small part of it's value
Eliminating the rebate and reducing
the penalty for delinquency at least
within the sum the law terms usury
will be doing good turn for the poor
man.
A Handicap to Lister. Hardly.
(Tacoma Forum.)
We believe that Lister is going to
DO THINGS despite the efforts of the
standpatters in both parties. The pres
ent legislature appears to be handi-
cap to him. 1t may get better as it
grows older,
Wants NOn-Partisan Revision.
(Chewelah independently
There should be no partisanship in
the revision of the constitution. 1t is
a matter of great Importance to the
whole state that the amendment bur-
dens be removed, and the only relief
that can be, obtained is through the de-
alterations of the new constitutional
body, which should come at least as
often as every 20 years.

Kick Against Teachers Pension.
(Colfax Commoner)
The bill to pension teachers is up be-
fore the present legislature with fair
prospect of being passed. The bill is
wrong. Nearly all pension bills are
wrong, but this one is especially SO.
That man or woman who has taught
school for 80 years should be allowed
to deposit $1,000 into the pension fund
and draw $500 per year for the re-
mainder of his or her life is wrong
and would be rank injustice. Imag-
inc President Bryan of Washington
State College, who Is credited with
having a quarter of million dollars
and is drawing $4,000 per year from
the state, getting $500 per year addi-
tional because he has taught 30 years.
There are many wealthy men in this
state who have taught 30 years and
who will draw such pension If the
bill becomes a law.

We believe that bill before the state

measure. Make the term four years
and have the election at the same time
that the governor is elected and coun-
ties would not be to so much expense
gregate amounts to great deal more

(Colfax Commoner.)
The very fact that an investigation
of the state college is being opposed is
enough to arouse some strong suspi-
cions that it will not bear investiga-
ton. Ugly rumors have been circulat'
ed. Startling charges have been made.
Strong suspicious have been aroused.
Why is President Bryan content to
rest under these charges and suspi-
cions? Why does he not want an in
vestigation? If the charges are un-
true; If they have no foundation, is 1t
not to the interest of President Bryan
and the state college that they be in
vestigated by a competent committee,
and be disproven? The very fact that
bitter fight is being made against an
investigation arouses a suspicion that
the rumors, the charges and the gossip
about the bad conditions existing have
foundation in fact and that those op-
posing the investigation fear that the

BIG MORTGAGE
Schmidt Place as Hospital Site
Meets With Some
Objections

OF even date with the deed of the
Schmidt property on Beretania street
by the trustees of the Lunalilo estate
to w. c. Aehi, trustee, is mortgage
of the property by the purchaser to
the sellers for $4,000 at 6 per cent
per annum, exempt as to $500 which
is without interest IL paid within four
months from date of mortgage, Feb
ruary 5. The balance is payable with
in five years in instalments of not
less than $4,000. each year. The area
of the land is 119,540 square feet and
the purchase price was $751; 500.
Mr.. Achi and Others, since the sale,
have been urging the suitability of
the property as a site for a county
hospital. Objection is heard to 1t for
such a purpose on the ground that
1T is the lowest elevation of any place
in that vicinity, the Queens Hospital
just behind 1t being on considerably
higher ground. The place Is also rep
resented as lacking in quietness of
neighborhood In this connection the
Irwin property at Beretania and Mil
Ter streets is favorably spoken of as
a county hospital site, with the sug-
gestion that Mr.. Irwin might be dis
posed to make liberal concession of
value for such an object.

Cur relations to the United States had
always been intimate, Hawaii having
been the only country bearing The re-
lation OF colony to the American
ration. The sugar interest was more
than one of corporations. thousands
OF stockholders having their means in

instance Of Effective Work.
j. A. Gilman gave an instance of
in what the bitulithic people IN Bos-
ton we're doing toward promoting
their Interests with regard TO road
from Washington to Gettysburg. pro-
posed in connection with the Lincoln
memorial, and received applause on
engaging to write to the 200 or 800
bitulithic companies throughout the
country on behalf of Hawaii's present
cause
Joseph P. Coke mentioned that the
present house was different from the
last one, having larger proportion of
Democrats from the northern and beet
sugar states. This gave better
show for winning. 1t had amazed him
how many lines of action the cam
paign could touch. He moved that
committee of six. three from each
youy, be appointed to conduct the
campaign, with power to appoint sub
committees.
James ID. Dole brought up the ques-.
ton of the pineapple tariff, desiring
to know if the committee was to
handle it. Tinplate and sugar, which
entered into the canning industry,
were heavily protected.
Mr. Carter thought what Mr.. Dole
had said was of great import. "Put
reading matter on the top Of every
can of pineapples," he suggested
amidst laughter
A. L. C. Atkinson told of an inter
view with Senator Dixon, who be-
lieved in such duties as would enable
good wages to be paid In every in
dustry. Emphasis should be made in
the campaign on the fact that this
was fight between the tiflers of the
soil and the manufacturers. Every
dollar we produce in the country Is a
dollar gained, and every dollar We
send out for goods is dollar lost. I"
This was not fight at the start
the matter had already passed one
congress. The passage of the income
tax must be considered. Underwood
had said that the tariff question was
going in as whole. without any more
discussion. The fight was for Ameri-
can tillers of the soii as against those
of Germany and Russia.
w. r. Harrington supported the pro-
posal of Mr. Dole, believing our po-
sition would be strengthened with
more than one industry to protect. He
told of the fight for their state in
dustries made by the people of Maine
when the tariff was the issue in the
nineties, and said what impressed
him here now was the necessity OF
getting all the forces at work.
Mr.. Atherton then declared the
meeting adjourned. The presiding Of
ficers of the chamber and the associa-
ton immediately selected the COM
mittees as above named.
