all been thoroughly discussed and
agreed upon at the meetings of the
International Tax Association
where are gathered the tax COM
missioners from all the states and
Canada, professors of political
economy from all the great univer-
sites, and men generally who have
given a life study to economic ques-
lions. 1t has been at each of these
meetings the unanimous verdict
that the general property tax system
as is called for by our constitution
of Washington-is a failure and
works against the interests of any
state which retains it as a part OF
it's revenue system. That il is a
beautiful theoretical plan cannot be
gainsaid, but that it is also impos-
sible from a practical twentieth

that they hope very much that
the interest being taken in the

of all of the remaining public lands.

stead of parting with the fee

mineral deposits, water power sites
oil and timber lands should remain
perpetually the property of the led
eral government and be operated
only under leases.
In this state considerably over
one-third of the area belongs to the
federal government, an area larger
than Massachusetts, the greater por-
ton of it already reserved from
private uses. If not more OF IT Is

A GENTLE RAINFALL.
About One-Half an Inch of Rainfall
Fell this Morning.

At five o'clock this morning gen.
tie rain began falling for several
hours the moisture kept coming down.
The precipitation amounted to about
one-half an inch. The past week has
been warm and the moisture was
plentiful to keep things growing and
corn and the grains and alfalfa and
gardens have advanced wonderfully
during that length of time. With the
gentle rainfall that has fallen today
all growing crops will advance rapid
ly. The ground was not beaten so
that cotton will be interfered with
and this plant will now come up
very rapidly. The moisture for the
past six months is short of the mois-
ture for the same period last year
something like three inches, still the
crops have not suffered for lack Of
rain. Cold weather has made the
year somewhat backward and killed
the fruit and early gardens. Pros
