TAXATION and
OUR TAX LEv|ES

Completion of the tax levies by
the commissioners last month
shows that but for the legislature
of the state of Washington, Ste-
vens county's tax levy would
have been less than last year.
But the legislature passed so
many appropriation bills, some of
them over the head of Governor
Lister, that some one has to pay,
and this county's apportionment
is over hundred thousand dol
lars-$37, ,096. 21 more than last
year, and SAG, 6,519.97 more than
two years ago.
This increase of 63a per cent
over last year is a heavy burden
for US, as it increases our total
tax levy 3. 81 mills, and every tax
payer in the county is caught.
Stevens county's tax levy of
1886 mills is higher than it
would have been had not the leg
islature required certain pay
ments to be made. The commits
sioners were obliged to levy for
$500 to pay the new mothers
pensions and the new weights
and measures, provided by the
state. Also, the general road
and bridge levy is increased by
order of the state legislature,
which required a levy to pay up
all back indebtedness. All road
districts are required to levy ex-
ira to pay up any back indebted
ness, and Commissioner Graham
of the I'd district is caught hard,
through no fault of his own, in
having to levy 3 mills extra to
pay up bills contracted years ago.
Thus many things have con-
spired to make our county tax
high this year, and even then the
levy is only SO hundredths of a
mill higher than last year. Had
the state not been so profuse
With it's appropriation laws. our
levy could have been cut a mills
under that of last year.
The valuation of this county is
raising each year. In 1911 it
was 81, ,855, It's. In 1912 it was
$8,910,941. In 1918 il is $685.
564, according to the assessors
tables. Detailed amounts are

shown in the accompanying table

for 1913."
The state board of equalization
has placed our county valuation
at 80. So per cent of real value, as
compared with 33. Is for 1912.
Incorporated towns will pay
the following taxes next year:

tions of mills:

TOF|LL POSITION
OF UNDERWOOD

The question is being asked:
Who is going to be democratic
leader of the house of represent
atives after Oscar Underwood
makes his final bow to that body?
for, on March a, 1915, Underwood
will either walk across to the SEN
ate side and be sworn in as the
junior senator from Alabama or
he will retire from public life.
This fact has at last been driv-
en- home to his colleagues in the
house. that the democratic leader
is without doubt a candidate for
the United States senator in AL
ALBANIA. No matter what the re-
suit of that campaign may be,
Mr.. Underwood will no longer be
a member of the lower body after
March, 1915.
His successor in the event the
democrats remain in control of
the house will become the chair
man of the powerful ways and
means committee; if the republi-
cans carry the next house he will
become the leader of the min
ority. In any event he will oc-
cupy a prominent place before
the country, and a position es-
pecially trying because of the
record made by his illustrious
predecessor.
Already the various candidates
are pluming themselves for this
contest, and when it is we'll un-
der way it will become one of alb
sorbing interest to the country.
The leadership is of such vast
Importance to the administration
it is possible the president him
self may at least indicate a pref
erence, and if so. it will have
great weight to the final deter
mination of the question. Dem

Hereafter school teachers look
ing for positions in rural schools
of Spokane county will find farm
experience just about as valuable
as book learning. The teachers
themselves, assembled in annual
institute, have voted to dismiss
their schools one week each fall
at a time when the assistance of
children is most needed on the
farms. Teachers will get full
pay for that week, not for keep
ing the pedagogic benches warm,
but for digging potatoes and har-
vesting turnips and carrots and
working side by side with their
pupils. The county superinten-
dent. E. G. Mcfarland, who is
responsible for this innovation,
will seek to have a state law
passed at the next session of the
legislature applying the system
to all counties of Washington.
He is also working out a plan to
give the pupils scholastic credit
for garden work done at home.
The annual convention of the
Washington State Good Roads
Association is to be held at North
Yakima Nov. 2O-21. Governor
Lister will have charge of the

We hope some one will call the
attention of the effervescent ed
itor of the Index to the article in
last Sundays Spokesman-Re-

But of course, if the red ele-
ment is lacking in the personal

THE TRAMP WAS SMART


Jones is a very little man, but
he always has his wits about him.
The other day he was alone in his
suburban villawhen formidable
looking tramp knocked at the
door and insolently demanded re-
freshments.
'I'ml looking for work, he said,
and I want something to eat at
once or there'll be some trouble"
And he coolly sat down on the
step.
Now Jones didn't get flustered
a bit, but got an alarm clock and
wound it up. Then he went into
the front, room, where his voice
could be heard by the tramp.
Causing the alarm to ring, he
shouted into the clock:
Hello! Are you there? Give
me the police station-quick,
please"
The tramp was all attention,
and thought that Jones must be
on the telephone exchange. Then
he heard the following counterfeit
conversation:
Are you the police station?
Please send an officer tc my house
at once. There is a tramp here
who refuses to leave. What? Yes,
he ought to be in prison. All
right"
When he went to the door
again the tramp had gone-and
so had three hats and four over
coats.
