In my last article recommended
that whenever possible the city man
ought to sleep out Of doors; but In the
great majority of cases. I suppose that
this cannot be conveniently arranged.
However. II one cannot get the bene-

can get some of II: which means that
1t Is perfectly practicable to ventilate
the sleeping room anyway.
Open all the windows in your room
every night. BY raising the bottom

up over your shoulders. II you don't

more serious consequence for a middle
aged man than for a younger one.
Moreover, while being careful to get
a good circulation of air in the room.
at the same time take pains that your

course. this is just as likely to give
you a cold as is a displacement OF
the bed clothes. In locating your bed.
take the further precaution to see
that the morning light does not shine
directly on your face.
Your mattress should be neither
too hard nor too soft; your pillow
ought to be low and thin. If you sleep
on a too-soft mattress your sleep
very likely will be restless and not
as refreshing as II should be: whereas

Curl up, something like the letter s,

Aberdeen's Calamity HowIers

opponents of the Wishkah bridge ex-
ceeded the limit of federation, when
they went so far as to proclaim t.
the world that Aberdeen was banf-
rupt; was so swamped with debt that
it was unable to provide thorough
fare at the point in the city where
the traffic is the greatest.
In an article printed by the oppon-
ents of the Wishkah street bridge
bonds in the Aberdeen World, 1t was
stated that the city, with an indebt
edness of $4,000, was dangerously
near the legal limit, giving the false
impression that Aberdeen was in SUCH
a financial condition that improve
ments must cease and that its reo-
pie were grooming under excessive
taxation. Both statements totally un'
true, and decidedly detrimental to the
progress of the city.
Under the law, Aberdeen is in

ing to follow the lines of the Balti
more platform, of President Wilson's
acceptance speech, and of the inter
probation of those deliverances, both
by the Democratic speakers and the
Democratic press, during the cam
paign we shall accomplish the work
of tariff revision with credit to the
party and acceptability to the ma
ton.
The good faith of the Democracy
has in the matter of fulfillment of
the campaign pledges. silenced crit
icism and stricken cavil dumb. No
body doubth that the promise OF
the party are to be performed. The
bitterest of our antagonists are
ashamed to say anything to the con-
trary. They do not dare insult the
intelligence of the country by a
charge of non-fulfllment. The dan
ger which turks in wait for Democrat
ic tariff revision is not non-perfOrm-
ance, but over-performance. The par
ty was not over-pledged. Why, then.
should it over-perform? 1t must
not over.perform. We must not let
the obligation the Democracy took or
itself when it promised downward
tariff revision, become morbid. We
must do everything the Baltimore
platform pledged us to do. But we
need not do more than We bound
ourselves to do, and more than the
country expects or wants us to do.
Next to being crooked, the worst mis-
take a party can make, is to be so
straight it leans over backward. The
great task of the Democratic Congress
now is to avoid the latter blunder.
We must constantly bear in mind that
the pledge not to injure or wreck
any legitimate business, is just as
much a solemn obligation, as is the
pledge to reduce the tariff and af-
ford relief to the consumer. The
Democracy will be judged by it's full
fillment of both these pledges. Both
are constantly in the public mind
the people have not lost sight OF
either of them for an instant. If
the business interests of the country
were to be conserved, and the in.
terests of the consumer neglected
that would only be half fulfllment.
Any tariff schedule whose adop
ton means the ruin of any lawful
business, is bad schedule. A touch.
stone which should be applied to ev-
cry suggestion, is, will it injure or
destroy any legitimate Industry" 1:
it will it should be discountenanced
or so modified as to bring it into
line with the Democratic policy Of
maintenance of industrial welfare
along with relief of the consumer
from exorbitant tariff taxation.

The Tariff Bill.

The labors of President Wilson and
OF Chairman Underwood and his dis.
tinguished coadjutors Of the Ways
and Means Committee, have deeply
impressed the country with two lead
ing objects in tariff revision. One
il absolute fulfillment of the Demo
cratic pledges, both in letter and spir
It. The other is that readjustment
Of the tariff schedules on the basis
Of economy and fairness, is a matter
Of common sense. Common sense
was the measuring-rule never lost
sight of in the framing Of the Bal.
timore platform. Common sense was
the keynote never deviated from in
Woodrow Wilson's acceptance ad'
dress. Common sense was the stand
ard around which the Democracy raj.
lied the country to win the great Dem
ocratic victories of 1910 and 1912
BY the same token, common sense
is tho key to successful tariff re-
vision.
In its platform, in the speeches OF
its Presidential and Vice-Presidential
candidates, and in the utterances o!
the speakers who represented the
party on the stump throughout the
campaign, the Democracy made it ap
peal to the nation on the pledge Of
q tariff revision which should re
move exorbitant tariff duties, affort
relief to the consumer, lower the
cost of living, and at the same time
not injure or disturb any Legitimate
business interest. This is a soun(
policy. Like all sound policies, i

ject to taxation, does not meet with
the approval of some county officials.
and it quotes the auditor and treas
urer as opposing the action of the
assessor. This We think must be an
error. The duty of assessing the
county rests solely upon the assessor,
and the other county officials have
nothing to do with it. That they
would express themselves as quoted
in the dispatch is hardly credible.
Assessor Wiley appears to have the
correct conception of his sworn duty.
and is sparing no efforts to ascertain
the law before taking action upon
any disputed point. In this matter.
which the other officials are said to
take issue with him, the assessor
took the precaution to have an order
from the superior court directing him
to place upon the rolls all property
he finds was omitted in the years
1912 and 1913, which will add some
5000 acres of land to the rolls, the
estimated value of which is about
100000. In addition to the order
of the court, the assessor has been
directed so to do by the board of
commissioners, so that it is difficult
to see how he could avoid so doing
now, even if he desired to pander
to the dissenting county officials. To
refuse would subject him to punish
ment for contempt of court.
The assessor and the Taxpayers
League fully realize that fight will
be put up on the proposition by the
tax lodging fraternity, in fact no.
body expected they will relinquish
the privilege of having their share o.
governmental burdens borne by the
other fellow without struggle. But.
as Assessor Wiley says, "the fight is
coming and we might as we'll have
it now as later" and the Herald
agrees with him. When he has a dis.
agreeable task before him, the sooner
he gets it of his mind the better he
feels.
The same dispatch quotes "Con.
siderable taxpayer of Montesano, who
has been a considerable timber own.
er in the past" as saying that, tim
Der lands were valueless except for
the timber until they were logged,
and that no property was so dear
from an income bearing standpoint
as timber land
The gentleman has probably had
no experience in vacant town lots, or
he would have discovered another
class of property-always on the
rolls-that will hold its own with
timber land as a non-income produc-
ing proposition
But, while vacant lots and stand
ing timber are apparently bringing
no income, they are as rule paying
fair percentage on the investment,
and one hears no talk of permitting
the poverty-stricken owner of city
lots to escape takes on his holdings.
The prevailing system of taxation
is long distance from perfection,
but, so long as it is the law, the Of
fcials charged with the duty of as.
sessing and collecting taxes under
that law are permitted no discretion
in the manner of their procedure.
One of the chief abuses of the tax
system that has so long prevailed in
Chehalis county has been that the
taxing authorities placed themselves
above the law, and made some class
es of property pay more than an
equitable share, while others were
permitted to escape with the pay
ment of moiety, and-as in the lands

court order-with no payment at all
