Women on Governing Boards.

Concerning woman's availability for
state boards Of control Mrs. Almah
Frisby. who served seven years as a
member Of the Wisconsin board. says:
1T ought to be obvious to any fair
minded person that the governing
board Of institutions whose inmates
are largely women and children should
have women members. The human
tartan side Of the work appeals to
woman, while the interest Of the male
members of the board. l found. was
almost entirely confined to the plants
and the business connected with the
institutions. which IN not surprising, AZ
that IL the mans chief responsibility In
the home.
"Of the eleven men who were mem
bers of the board Uhanks to politics.
during the seven years that ! was
member only two or three took any
interest In the internal working Of the
institutions or showed any efficiency
In the work of inspection. which seem
ed to me very important part OF the
work of the board. Certainly the
welfare and happiness Of the inmates
depend quite as much Oh cleanliness.

His Recreation

Secretary Bryan is the subject of a
violent outburst of criticism because
he is filling a number of lecture en-
gagements contracted for before he
became a member of President Will
sons cabinet
The country has confidence in the
integrity of Mr.. Bryan and it is not
ready to believe that he will cheat
the government on his services. To
do his best work as secretary he
ought to take some time for recrea-
ton from the onerous and exacting
duties of his great Office. Every
president and every cabinet officer
leaves Washington for few weeks
during the heated term. One goes
to Oyster Bay, another to Berkeley.
another to Cornish, another to yell
lowstone Park, another to the sea-
shore.
Mr. Bryan goes to the chautauqua
platform. 1t is his recreation. It
is no discredit to him that he finds
vast audiences eager to pay to hear
his inspiring oratory. His lectures
are not partisan. He is great
preacher. Every man and woman,
boy and girl who hears him is the
better for it. He is entitled to spend
his vacation time as best suits him.
He will not neglect the duties of his
important Office for any personal ad-
vantage.-La Follette's Magazine.

The Business Outlook

The signs of activity in autumn

experience in preceding years.

American imports of merchandise
during July were the second largest

The fact argues that stocks in

Gross Mismanagement

The condition Of the streets in East

mismanagement in the improvement
of those streets. Instead Of complet-

The World Winces.

The Aberdeen World Indignantly
denies any attempt to prejudice the
public mind against the taxing off
Gals of the county, and the Herald
is pleased to note the denial, and
hopes it is absolutely true. So far
the evening paper, in its editorial col
umns and it's Montesano correspond.
ence, has omitted no opportunity to
belittle the stupendous work that
was attempted by Assessor Wiley and
the board of equalization, the mem.
bers of which were earnestly engag.
ed in the disagreeable task of doing
their duty under the law, and endeav-
oring to equalize the distribution of
the tax burden.
This indignant denial by the World
was induced by some comments this
paper made upon the following edi-
torial squib taken from the columns
of the evening paper:
1--WE are trying to build up
dairy business in this county. AS
a consequence, valuations of cows
for taxation purposes are imme-
diately raised. What's the sense
in trying to produce champion
cows?"
Our faith in the protestations of the
World is somewhat shaken by the
artful and untruthful lodging of re.
sponsibility for the above little item,
contained in the following explana-
ton:
"The comment was based on
statement from the Assessors Of
fee that valuations had been rails
ed only on dairy cows, lumber,
logs and mills.
"The World printed that state
ment and the Herald reprinted it.
If it is in error the Assessor is
at fault. The statement, how
ever, is not disputed"
No such statement was ever given
out by the assessors Office. The day
before the item complained of ap-
peared, the World published a dis
patch from its Montesano correspond
ent, which commenced with the state.
ment that valuations had been in
creased only on dairy cows, logs and
lumber, which assertion was imme-
diately followed by a comparison of
valuations for 1912 and 1913, which
showed clearly the utter untruth of
the preliminary statement. That COM
parative table showed that while milk
cows had been raised, every other
taxable farm animal had been reduc-
ed.
In view of this fact, we submit that
the criticism of the Herald on the edi.
torial referred to was amply justified,
and that it could be construed in no
other way than an effort to mislead
the farmers and create a prejudice
against the taxing authorities.

The Publicity Tax

The levy of a tax for publicity pur-
poses is favored by seven to four in
the city council, and will be found to
be supported by about similar ratio
throughout the city. Opposition to
this measure comes mostly from two
elements. Those who oppose any
tax on general principles, and those
who have profited greatly in the past
by the increased value of their hold
ings without being at any cost in the
enhancement of that value, and would
like to continue in that happy state.
On the other hand, among the lead
ing advocates Of the measure are
found the men who have devoted
much time and money in the past to
the upbuilding of Aberdeen, and are
willing to continue to do so, but who
recognize that the time has arrived
when all who receive the benefits of
publicity-and the benefits are un-
questioned-should pay a proportion
ate share of it's cost.
One of the chief reasons for advo-
eating this tax levy is the large
amount of property held in the city
by non-residents, who are very prompt
to raise the price of such holdings
as are for sale, and the rents of their
buildings, whenever the efforts of a
comparatively few resident citizens
have added to their values. Properly
expended, this tax is one Of the most
equitable propositions in the city
budget, and the Herald hopes the may
or's veto will be overcome by the city
council, although fully approaching
the efforts of Mayor France to hold
down expenditures.

no water obtainable on account Of i'm

weeks. Some have hauled water one
