"keep tho Money at Home"

Keep the money at home" Is not
an idle slogan advanced by dissatis'
fed storekeepers. 1t is an economic
principle, founded upon the elemental
fact that the sending of money out
of the country is an indirect tax up
on the community. The neglect OF
this law is as far reaching in effect
as neglecting to return to the soil
some of the fertility which crops take
from it and even more insidious, since
the community retrogression. while
constant is not nearly as easily recog
nized as is the soil retrogression.
Absentee shopping" is worse than
absentee landlordism; both impover
ish the community, both rob the soil
both lower the standard of living;
but while the evil effects of one are
easily recognized, those Of the other
are hid under the guise of economy
which is more apparent than real, de-
luding the individual into the belief
that he is paying less when in reality
he is paying more.-Kittitas Spokes

Grays harbor and Sound Canal

The memorial adopted by the state
senate, requesting the federal gov
eminent to ascertain the feasibility
of a canal between Olympia anG
Grays Harbor, via Black Lake, Black
river and the Chehalis river, recalls
to the editor Of the Herald an ar
ticle he wrote for the Elma Chron
icle nearly twenty years ago, advocat
ing such canal. It was at the time
relations between the United States
and England were strained over Ven
zuala, and the article predicted the
building of this canal as a war meas
ure il ever this nation and England
came to blows.
The prophecy was based upon the
immense Notifications and naval sta
ton at Esquimalt. B. c.. which would
have Puget Sound not only at the
mercy of British war ships, but eff
fectually bottled up. Such condi
ton would most quickly be relieved
by the digging Of a canal along the
route indicated.

Not Party Doctrine.

The Herald is pleased to note the
Aberdeen Worlds declaration that
the protective tariff is not a party
doctrine. 1t proves that all worlds
do move. For more than generation
the republican party has maintained
almost exclusive control of the ma
ton upon the reiterated assertion
that a high protective tariff and a
full dinner pail went together, and
that the republican party was the
only real, genuine blown-in-the-bottle
party through whose guidance that
pail could or would be kept full, via
the high protective tariff.
Our republican friends have ever
been noted for political agility. We
are reminded that in 1894, the repub.
lican platform Of this state denounc
ed the democratic administration for
degrading silver" in advocating the
repeal Of the Sherman silver purchase
law, and two years later denounced
with equal energy what it termed the
"Wild-eyed Populist craze that de.
manded the free coinage Of silver.
For a party that could make such
a reversal in two years-and get
away with tit is easy to predict
that in 1916 it will again denounce
the democratic party, this time for
failing to abolish the tariff altogether
and declare for free trade.

A Question Of Policy.

Human nature is a peculiar thing,
when it is mixed up with politics
One would think the Republican mai
GRITTY in the House and Senate, In
view of the universal endorsement by
Governor Listers program cf econ
omy, would lend ear to the desires OF
the people and would carry out their
expressed approval of an economical
state government.
Instead, they are doing the opposite
and authorizing large appropriations
and scheduling larger ones to be auth
orized, which Governor Lister per
force will be compelled to veto. He
has given the people the pledge OF
economy. and the people have accept
ed 1t, and since his reiteration of it In
his inaugural message, they too. have
reiterated their support through the
medium of the Republican and Pro
gressive papers all over the state, az
we'll as the Democratic.
The only excuse for the action OF
the Republican majority in the legis
lature would appear to be an attempt
to embarrass the states new executive
If that is the end in view the Republi.
cans will fall way short Of the mark

Recalling Judges

A bill in the House, providing for
the recall Of judges by the voters
was defeated after hard fight, al
though so members voted in favor
to 80 against, IS votes being neces-
sary for it's passage. Every demo
crat but one, P. H. Adams, of Kittitas
county, voted for the bill and the
three members from Chehalis county
voted no.
During the debate, Chamberlain, OF
Whitman county, who led the oppo
sition, in speech of three quarters
of an hour, denounced the character
Of the judges in the state in the
strongest language possible, the won
der being that, il he believed what
he said, he was not in favor of the
recall. He asserted that the judiciary
of the state was Of such calibre as
would make the judges pamperers
to ever changing public opinion; that
it would have the members of the
bench ever on their knees, with their
ears to the ground, and forgetful OF
the right or wrong of their judicial
decisions in an effort to appease the
public" The Herald believes the
power that places a Judge on the
bench should have the power to re-
move him, but it has a much better
opinion Of the judiciary of the state
than this lusty-lunged opponent OF
the recall.

Twice in the past, efforts have been
made by private parties to purchase
the city water plant, but strenuous
objections by the people prevented

posed. One is that If the city has not
the money to put in permanent
water system, private parties or cor
poration will do it and furnish water
at the city limits, which water the city
shall take at price. That scheme
will not bear analysis. This Is one Of
the main issues In this election.

A Suspicious Amendment

In the present session of the legis.
lature. Senate Bill No. 1911, as intro
duced provided that no application to
reduce an assessment may be made
to county board Of equalization with
in ten days of it's adjournment, a
measure that was badly needed at the
last meeting of that board in this
county. 1t will be remembered that,
owing to the provision of the pres
ent law, ten days notice of an intend
ed raise of assessment must be CIV
en-, and, as the complaints of Unequal
ity came in within few days of the
statutory time for adjournment, the
only way left for the board to equal
ize what it considered to be unequal
was to reduce other similar property
and by this action about 100000 worth
of property was stricken from the
rolls of Chehalis county.
Senate Bill 1911 sought to remedy
this condition, by requiring all claims
for reduction to be in time to raise
other similar property if such step
was deemed equitable, and as pre-
scented was worthy bill. But, before
it got to a vote, Senator Nichols, of
Pierce County, added an amendment,
which removes the assessor from the
board of equalization and places the
county auditor in his stead.
AS the assessor has more personal
knowledge of the rolls than any 9TH
er official, it is impossible to attribute
to this amendment a desire to assist
in securing just and equitable as
sessment of property for taxation.
On the contrary, it leaves a suspicion
that it's aim is in the opposite direc-
ton.
1t was from Chehalis county that
the demand for a board of equaliza-
ton with the assessor a member
came. Not many years ago, when
the three commissioners constituted
the board, a gentleman representing
a large nonresident corporation, was
before the board complaining Of the
assessments placed on his company's
property. Hearing of his presence,
and desiring to explain the roll for
the information of the board, the as
SCISSOR attempted to go before them.
The door was shut in has face and
locked, with the information that
when he was wanted he would be
sent for.
The assessor was, of course, help
less at the time, but not so later on.
When the following session of the
legislature convened he was on hand,
and had with him bill changing the
equalization boards of counties from
three to five, and adding the assessor
and treasurer to the board, and this
has been the law since with no evil
results that have been discovered. The
assessor is the official who has the
assessments made, is the most fam
iliar with the rolls and most compe-
tent to explain seeming inequalities
that may not really exist, while the
auditor is not in position to have any
knowledge of tax matters at all. 1t
is to be hoped that in the House the
Nichols amendment will be Topped off,
and the bill passed as originally in.
troduced.

to be bought and applied to the crops.
There are in South Carolina, Florida
and Tennessee, and in some of the
Rocky Mountain States, vast deposits
OF phosphate rock, which, when
treated with sulphuric acid, have thus
far been cheap sources OF phosphoric
acid.
But statistics of the phosphate in
dustry utter a warning Of possible
dearth and consequent high prices
Of phosphates in the near future. At
present one-half of all the phosphate
mined in this country is exported to
Europe; and it is estimated that at
the present rate Of mining the sup
now known to exist will be exhausted
within twenty-five years. AS we ap-
proach that period prices will soar
beyond the reach Of many farmers.
! ne SsiiSSud uillS Ol TIC dSIlCul-
ture Of the United States requires
that the government acquire all the
phosphate deposits and stop further
exports, or place an export tax upon
the traffic so high as to be prohibit
i've. Germany protects her agricul-
ture by absolutely prohibiting the eX-
port Of phosphate Of any kind.
On most American farms it has
been found that so large a proper
ton OF the nitrogen and potash gath
cred by cow peas and soy beans is
stored in the roots and stubble, that
it is more profitable to make hay of
the tops than to plow them under.
Most Of the fertilizing virtue Of the
hay will be recovered in the manure,
and the careful husbandman will save
this and apply it to his land.

NEGRO IS SHOT TO DEATH.
Killing In Kingstree by Unknown
Person--R>~ yard of 800.
(News and Courier special.) }

(NeWS ana courier Special.)
Kingstree, Dec. 26.-James Flem-
ing, a colored man from the Work.
man section Of Clarendon county, was
shot and mortally wounded here
Christmas Eve night, dying yesterday
morning. Fleming was standing in
w. E. Jenkinsons store, and was be-
ing waited on by one Of the clerks,
when suddenly he uttered a groan
and sat down. A special police hap
pened to be near and went to the
man, to find that he had been shot
and was bleeding fearful'y from a
wound in the thigh. Medical aid was
secured at once, and everything was
done to save Fleming's life, but the
large artery in the thigh had been
severed and the loss Of blood was
too great before aid could be obtain
ed. He lived until yesterday morn
ing, but did not rally from the ef-
fects of the wound.
AS to where the shot came from or
who fired the pistol, the town au-
thorities are without any clue. There
were so many fire crackers and tor
pedoes being fred by the boys all
over the town that one could not dis
tinguish these from that of a pistol,
and especially so in this section Of
town. The only thing that throws
any light on the act Is that few
minutes before this pistol carrying
a 3S ball was fired from across the
street into an adjoining store win
dow to that in which the negro was
shot, and the ball which came out of
the wound was the same in size as
that.
The authorities OF the town have
offered a reward OF 500 for proof
to convict the person who did the
shooting.
