MEMS
POLITICAL CLUB
Will Perfect Organization
Next Monday Evening in
Council Room

The Young Mems Political club,
which was organized Monday night,
will meet next Monday evening in the
city council room, and the public is
invited to attend. Prof H. E. Holm.
quist has accepted an invitation to ad-
dress the meeting, and will doubtless
outline its aims and purposes.
Lack of space Tuesday prevented
the Herald from giving the full pro-
ceedings of the initial meeting the
night before.
AS we understand it, the club is to
be political without being partisan.
That is, fidelity to no party will be u
requisite for membership. Party pol
icies in national affairs will be recog-
nized, but in state, county and city
management, the club urges, party
politics have been the curse of the
country and should be omitted.
The following officers were temper
arily chosen at the Monday night
meeting: President, Carl Springer;
secretary, w. A. Huttula, Ira N. Gard.
ner, A. M. Wade and P. F. Clark were
appointed a committee to draft a con-
stitution and bylaws.
Other committees were appointed
as follows: Publicity, Clyde Spencer,
Frederick Smith and P. F. Clark. On
membership, Clyde Spencer, P. F.
Clark, Carl Springer, Ira N. Gardner,
Frederick Smith, A. E. Varney, Ralph
Gessler, w. A. Huttla, Prof. H. E.
Holmquist and L. w. Helbig.
The club started out with 80 mell-
bers, and the membership committee
will have number of applications to
report at the meeting next Monday
night.

STATE TO PUNISH
TRESPASSERS
Treble Damages Will Be COL
lected for the Illegal Cut
ting Of Timber
WILL DEMAND PENALTY
Land Board Issues Statement
Calling Attention to the
Damages Allowed

OLYMPIA, Aug. 21.-When Clark v
Savidge, state land commissioner
started to check up the land office
records, and found that scores had
not paid up their old leases, he made
the investigation general, and as a re
suit the state land board at its meet
ing Tuesday with w. w. Hopkins, as
sistant state land commissioner, pre-
siding, went on record as in favor Of
prosecuting all trespassers. The state
land office is now getting about $4,000
a month out of delinquent rentals and
intends to put an end in addition to all
trespassing.
Can Recover Treble Damages.
The law provides that treble dam
ages can be recovered from offenders
who take timber unlawfully from stats
lands, and it is proposed to investi
gate this matter at once. Attorney
General w. v. Tanner will be consult
ed in the matter and requested tc
start legal proceedings.
The board at its session disposed Of
practically all protests filed against
the appraisements for the land sale
set for September 2.
After the meeting of the board the
following statement was issued:
To Prosecute Trespass.
"The attention of the board was
called to the numerous cases of tres
passes on state lands which are being
reported to Land Commissioner Saw
idge by the state land inspectors who
are now engaged in collecting delin
quent payments and investigating the
present condition of state lands ir
general in the various counties. Large
quantities of timber are being stoler
from state lands by persons logging
on adjoining tracts and who careless
ly or Intentionally ignore the bound
ary lines.
1T was decided that these offenses
had reached a stage where patience
ceased to be a virtue, and that In al
future cases of trespass on state lands
the attorney.general will be requested
to prosecute in accordance with the
law. The statute governing trespass
provides that any person, firm or cor
poration cutting or removing timber
from state lands or manufacturing the
same into logs, bolts, shingls, lumber
or other articles for domestic use OF
commerce, shall be liable to the state
of Washington in treble the value o1
the timber or other articles so cut OF
removed, to be recovered in a civil
action, and shall forfeit all interest ir
and to the article into which said tim
ber is manufactured"

An Equal Valuation on a Forty Per Cent Basis

POI. 80 in 1909.
During the past five years the tax
levied by incorporated communities
for municipal purposes shows lower

Amid the explosion of all these fire.
works at the sessions of the board of
equalization, Mr.. and Mrs. Average
Taxpayer should not permit them.
selves to become excited over the
threat that an enhanced average val
uation necessarily means proportion
ate increase Of levy. This board Is
not fixing tax levy, that comes later,
and depends largely upon the demands
of the public, If the county is managed
as a public duty and not as private
snap.
The law requires county commission
ers, city councils and school boards
to make up proposed budget for the
coming year, and publish it several
weeks before making the levy, so
that all who so desire may object if
they think it too high. The same law
makes it a crime to exceed the figures
of that budget in making expenditures.
| The amount of those expenses, in the
hands of capable and honest board
which will expend them, depends very
much, indeed, upon the public. If
the public clamors for certain expen.
ditures, it has no right afterwards to
object to paying, each his fair proper
ton, of that cost. Speaking of the In
tention of the present board Of county
commissioners the other day, Commits
sioner Locke is quoted in the daily
press as saying:
81 want to announce positively that
the levy will be reduced materially
this year.
"Our system of taxation-any sys.
tenn I know of in facts not actually
fair to all parties. We can only do
the best we know how with the tools
we have and the tools are the present
laws. In the end l believe the people
of the county will see that it is best
we should do what we are doing"
He added that he believed that valu'
ations on logged-off lands should be
raised to prevent their being held
while the upbuilding of the county
gave them a value. He said that tax
ing such lands for what they are
worth, while not actually forcing the
owner to sell would nevertheless lead
him to regard the property as an In
vestment, not as a speculation. In
this connection, he added:
I'VE must have roads into all parts
of the county. These roads are IN
creasing the value of all of the land
The land through which they run
! should help pay their COST"
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1913-08-22

A general alarm appears to have been
sounded that to increase the assessed
values in this county-only up to the
value Of adjoining counties, mind
you-will necessarily increase the
amount Of money to be raised for the
county. There is absolutely nothing in
the record of the past to justify this
assertion. On the contrary, it is safe
to assume that when ALL pay alike
on their holdings, closer tab will be
kept on expenditures by ALL, than
was done when some of the largest
property holders in the county were
obliged to pay but trifle compared
with their holdings.
Low valuations-High Taxes.
To prove this one has but to inves-
tigate the increase of expenditures in
the past with the low valuation. Prob
ably at no period in the history of
Chehalis county was extravaganza Civ.
en- the free rein that it received in
1910, 1911 and 1912. We regret we
have not the exact figures for these
years. but they are. being compiled
for the Herald and will appear later.
But we have the official figures of
the five yars, from 1905 to 1909, in
clusiv, and they present an object les.
son in county mis-government.
The following extract from a state
ment issued in August, 1910, by the
State Taxpayers League, will give an
idea Of the drift of taxation:
During the five years from 1905 to
1909 there has been paid by the tax.
payers Of Chehalis county for all kinds
of state, municipal, county, school
and road taxes, a grand total of $685..
226.77. In the year 1905 there was lev
led for all purposes $500, O,1S0,92 and this
has grown to $727,72S.55 for the year
1909, an increase of 127 per cent in
five years.
"The taxpayers of Chehalis county
contributed $1S7.S73.O6 to state taxes
for the year 1909, against $131,5SS.62
for 1908.
"Analyzing somewhat the above
statement, it will be noted that the cur
rent expenses Of the county in 1905
were $42.6O465. while in 1909 they
we're $119,2S4.4s, an increase of 1S(
per cent in five years.
"In 1905 the amount levied for road
and bridge purposes wa, $77,O7229
while in the year 1909 the amount lev
led was $153,3o335, an in rease of 80
DER cent in the road tax in five years
From the above statement, 1t will
be seen that there was raised in Che
halls county for school purposes $556,
O13.S5 from 1905 to 1909. In the yeal
1905 the amount levied for schoo
purposes was $55,923.19, while for the
year 1909 it was $165,259.1S. The
school enrolment in 1905 showed to
tai of 4,357 pupils, making the aver
age levy in the county for school pul
poses $12.S3 per pupil. In the yea'
1909, the enrolment showed $3.50 pu
pills, and the amount levied shows ar
average Of $30.95 per pupil. Durins
the five years from 1905 to 1909 inclu
sive, the school enrolment shows ar
increase of 20 per cent and during the
same FIVE years the increase in the
amount of taxes for school purposes is
