TAX SYSTEM IS
BEHIND TIMES

are taxed.
8. When a state government sends
it's officials out among the homes of
the people with authority to look
through the kitchens, parlors and bed
rooms to see the kinds of personal
properties the citizens are using, to
quiz the women about the cost of
silverware, wedding presents that
may be on the sideboards, and of the
diamonds in the engagement rings, an
noying the timid and the uniformed,
then filing in the county treasurers
office comparative statements of
what they find in neighboring families
it is pursuing policy that comes
close to tramping on private rights.
Yet the women of Washington have
put up with this sort of imposition for
more than twenty years.
6. Then take delinquencies: Taxes
go delinquent on May 81, with the
privilege of any citizen to receive a
three per cent. rebate if he pays prior
to March Is. That is, banker, at
torney merchant or other person hav
ing in his custody money belonging
to others, as we'll as his own, may
pay two and half months in ad-
vance of delinquency and receive out
of the treasury 3 per cent. discount
for which no return is made.
But if the little fellow"-farmer,
home owner, small business man
does not pay One-half of his taxes by
May 81 he must pay interest at the
rate of IN per cent. a month, not to
the treasury for the public benefit,
but to loan sharks, who are operating
upder the sanction of our revenue
system; and the county treasurers
office is made a free collection agensy
for the money-mongers.
1t is no defense of a system that re-
quires these things to build up argu-
ments against the single tax. If the
opponents of the single tax would use
small portion of their efforts to re-
move the inequities and iniquities of
the existing system, there would be no
serious agitation for the single tax
Now then, is a single taxa tax on
only land-a remedy? At best, it can
be but patch on the system. The
need is for an amendment to article
VII. of the constitution, that will Ell
able a subsequent legislature to work
out new revenue system, one that
will be in harmony with twentieth
century conditions. The state tax
commission has repeatedly recon-
mended reform along this line. but
the beneficiaries of the present system
in the legislature and in the lobby,
have succeeded in working it's defeat
If they succeed this winter, then the
people of Seattle may expect a con-
siderable vote for the proposed single
tax amendment in March. People
habitually complain of high taxation,
but it is inequitable taxation that
leads them to work desperate changes
in their government.

TIMES HAVE
CHANGED
CONTINUED from Page One).

some Of the Republican LEGISLATORS
jumped at the chance of introduc na
measures designed TO carry out the
governors recommendations But il
illustrated just another phase of List
ers character and that is his ability II
erase party lines and jealousies and
to convince those Of opposite polilica
faith that he has recommended IL
them measures the people Of Wash
ln2ton want enacted and to enlist
their aid in enacting them.
Seven bills carrying out his recon-
mendations are now before the legis-
lature. one proposes to abolish the
state bureau of inspection and super
vision of county offices; one abolshes
the grain Inspector; one is blue
, sky law; one is to prevent the over
croWding of the supreme court with
litigation; concerns the handling OF
fees by different examining boards !;
another provides for non-partsan city
and county elections, and one provides
for the consideration of all measures
by committee of lawyers, to elimin-
ate ambiguous language.
Legislature Gets Busy.
1t was busy week for the solons.
1t did not take long to settle the
speakership fight, after the Democrats
had Joined. with the Republicans, and
Taylor was reelected over Cookery
of Spokane. The same alignment held
in the senate where Pliny Allen was
elected president over the Progressive
candidate, Hutchinson
Tuesday there was a short dead
lock in the house over the election OF
chief clerk, but Maybury, of Seattle,
finally won the plum. The rest of the
day was given over to canvassing the
election returns. In the morning the
nine Democratic senators waged
hard fight against the confirmation OF
the 80 recess appointments made by
Governor Hay, but were overruled by
the Republican majority.
Wednesday morning the legislators
listened to Governor Hays last mes
sage, the senators at noon Inducing
Lieutenant Governor Hart into office.
In the afternoon they witnessed the
Inauguration of Governor Lister and
heard his first message, and in the
evening, with the newly elected state
officials and 1000 visitors from all
parts of the state, enjoyed the largest
inaugural ball in the states history.
Thursday and Friday mornings
were given over largely to the intro.
duction of bills, the solons adjourning
Friday noon for the weekend vaca-
ton.
What Hay Left.
Lots of funny stories are floating
around here these days. One of the
best is on Governor Lister Friday
night he was running around the gov
ernor's mansion with Mrs. Lister,
when he ran on to medicine chest.
This is great" was the executives
comment, as he picked up the assert
ment of remedies left behind by
Hays. Lets see what's in it,"
Forthwith he opened the chest. On
top was bottle of Listerne!

Mrs. j. M. Walker took the house

saying that when the topic was as

There was no parks-except Mayor

he was to enter the Andy Tunnel was
awaited with expectancy.
Rogers said the fugitive had declar-
ed he would die fighting. II know

Somebody Is Instituting Gar

Railroad Men Summoned Say
They Don't Owe Anybody.

Kansas City, Dec. 13.-A mysterious
gang Of loan agents is operating In
Kansas City in connection with fake
Justices, according to st. Joseph rail-
road men who. it is alleged, have been
harassed by garnishment proceedings
brought against their wages. c. E.
Myers of st. Joseph, a railroad en-
giEeer, came to police headquarters
today with a summons ordering him
to appear before q justice Of the peace
in jackson county. Myers said he was
one of nineteen railroad men in st.
Joseph whose pay checks had been
held up by garnishment proceedings.
None OF them owes any money, he
says.
A search of the records Of the coun-
ty clerk and prosecuting attorney fail
ed to show any justice by the name Of
the one indicated by the summons.
The summons does not state the plain
tiff's name. several Of the men whose
wages were held up the first of the
month came to Kansas City and could
not find the court where they were
summoned to appear. After a great
deal OF trouble they obtained their
wages. Two of the men were again
garnisheed yesterday. The matter is
to be investigated by James Kilroy,
assistant prosecuting attorney, and an
attorney for Myers. Myers says neith-
er he nor any of the others owe money
here and he is at q loss to understand
the motive for bringing the proceed
ings. He vii. remain here until the
matter is cleared up.
