Senator Poindexter of this state
last Saturday offered an amendment
to the observation-disclosures tariff bill
now under consideration in the Unit
ed States senate.
His amendment provides for tar
if commission of five members. Their
terms should be Is years each and
their salaries $4,000 apiece. They
would be removable by the vote Of a
majority in congress.
The senator's action in behalf Of
q commission on the tariff voices the
view of a great majority Of the citi-
zens Of the country. They may not
accept the specifications Of the Poin-
dexter proposal. They probably would
object to 15-year terms and to $4,000
salaries, this amount exceeding the
yearly wage Of a member Of the cab
met. But they would approve Of the
commission being responsible to and
reporting to congress. inasmuch as
this is the representative and servant
of the people and holds the power OF
the purse.
The public has become convinced
that no satisfactory treatment Of the
tariff will ever be had by present
methods. These put a premium on
Legislative ignorance Of the subject,
on playing politics and regarding Sec
tional and class interests and on pre-.
senting interested beneficiaries with
undue opportunity to influence legis-
lation as they desire.

Large immigration Predicted

The Norwegian vice consul at Los
Angeles ventures the prediction that,
within two years after the opening
of the Panama canal, more than g.
100000 Europeans will immigrate
hither and settle in the Pacific coast
states. The data upon which he
bases this conclusion are those of the
tickets which are already being sold
in parts of Germany to those who ex-
pect to settle here when the Panama
canal affords a cheap and easy means
of transportation to the states Dor
dering on the Pacific. According to
advices which he claims to have re-
ceived, already 10000 tickets have
been purchased in Berlin alone, and
80 per cent of the purchasers are
German farmers, who will come pre-
pared to purchase land and take up
extensive farming.
For some reasons it is to be hoped
that it is exaggerated. The present
population of the three states border
ing on the Pacific, even allowing for
substantial increases since the cen
sus was taken, falls short of 5,000,-
900 people. There Is an abundance
of room and full opportunity here TO.
population many times that large.
But there is not the present oppor-
tunity to take care Of the addition OF
two-fifths as many as those now here
within the short space Of two years
time. This state could readily find
room and profitable employment for
another million Of people in time, but
not IL they were dumped in here all
at once.
But whether the present estimates
are extravagant or not, it is certain
that with the opening Of the Panama
canal the Pacific coast states are to
witness one Of the most extraordinary
immigrations that the world has ever
seen, and that the growth and the
development which they will have
suddenly will be the most remarkable
phenomena of the present century,

The Recall In Hoquiam

"A group Of citizens in Hoquiam
are trying to recall the present COM
missioners under the Allen Law. When
the Post opposed the Allen Commits.
sion law for the City of Aberdeen
two years ago, we called attention to
the many deficiencies in the law. Sew.
eral Of these have been discovered
by tn good city of HoQuiam and now
the "recallers" of the Commission in
Hoquiam find that they cannot re-
call the group at one election, but
must hold three separate elections on
three separate days. And this con
tingency creates an unexpected d.
lemina.
Commission government under
proper law, whereby legislative
branch might be included in city at.
fairs. is doubtless an Improvement in
government, but the Allen Commits
sion law, the only one in vogue in
this state for cities Of the second
class, has proved itself non-effective.
So much is omitted from the law,
that should have been incorporated
in it, that it is a sad makeshift. The
last legislature did nothing to i'm
prove thhe Allen law and cities that
have adopted 1t must endure its short
comings for at least two years longer"
-Grays Harbor Post.
The Post, having opposed the
adoption of the Commission form Of
government in. Aberdeen two years
ago. appears to believe that it must
omit no chance to knock the Allen
law in order to make good its mis-
guided position in 1911. The fore
going editorial which appeared In
the last issue Of theh Post is proof
of the assertion.
The Post errs, in the first place l'y
attributing the recall election muddle
to the Allen law. That law provided
satisfactory recall plan, but 1t was
superseded by a recall law enacted
at the Legislative session this year,
which is applicable throughout the
state.
Instead of the Allen law having
proved itself inefficient" as alleged
by the Post, the reverse is absolute
ly true. Five or six cities are oper-
ating under that law, and have been
for more than year and half, and
the Herald has yet to hear complaint
about its workings. The fact that
after being in operation in those cities
for more than year, and no applica-
ton was made to the legislature to
alter line of this law. is conclusive
evidence that its workings are salts
factory, and is tribute to the legal
acumen of its author, Senator Frank

The facts are that Assessor Wiley

Veatch, which explains the reduction
in the valuation Of the Herald and
other plants:
John J. Carney,
Aberdeen, Wash.
Dear sir:-I notice that The World
Is endeavoring to make 1t appear that

ed a reduction in the assessment on
your printing plant, etc.

ity for whatever assessment was plac-
ed on the several printing plants. You
did not know what figure placed on
your plant, neither did Mr.. Clark, Of
the Post, nor did the Washingtonian.
I visited all the newspaper Offices In
the county and made list Of the
heavy machinery and then endeavored
to eQualize the assessment-that is
to say, see that each man paid in
proportion to the value of his plant,
as I saw It.
"Your plant, the plant of the Post
and the Oakville Cruiser were assess
ed too high in proportion to the bal
ance of the plants Of the county. I
thought it better to reduce the valua.
ton Of two or three Of the plants
than to double it on eight or ten of
them, which l would have had to have
done to make an equal assessment.
"THE FACT THAT l REDUCED
THE ASSESSED VALUE OF YOUR
PLANT DOES NOT INDICATE THAT
YOU ARE NOW A TAX-DODGER.
1T IS EXACTLY THE CONTRARY.
AS IN THE PAST YOU GAVE YOUR
PLANT IN AT A HIGHER FIGURE
IN PROPORTION TO ITS VALUE
THAN DID SOME OF THE OTHERS.
THEREBY INDICATING THAT YOU
WERE WILLING TO PAY YOUR
SHARE AND MORE.
my assessment was endorsed by
the Washingtonian of last Sunday.
and it was also endorsed by The
World when it first obtained the fig
ures at the assessors Office.
II do not say that placed the cor
rect value on all Of the plants nor
on any one of them. The value of
a newspaper plant is hard to arrive
at. believe, however, that l did
get an equal assessment, and that is
what was wanted.
"If the World wants 1920 assess
ment, we are inclined to think that
Bro. Rupp would be about the hard
est hit man of the bunch.
81 do not belittle the Herald's plant
when l say that the ratio with the
Worlds plant is correct with an as
sessment Of $1,000 on the Herald and
$4,000 ON the World.
again I wish to say that Mr..
Carney did not know the value placed
upon his plant until he saw 1t In
The World"

HOW RAILROADS
HAVE OBTAINED
Their ECONOMIES

The railroads Of the eastern dis.
trict participating in the application
for 5 per cent increase in freight
rates have filed with the interstate
commerce commission a series of sta
tistical tables, which give the details
as to various operating conditions in
the last decade incidental to han
ding and carrying freight.
The principal result herein enum.
Grated is set for tn in the fact that
for 1912 these railroads were able to
carry in each freight train an aver
age load of $40 tons. while the aver
age in 1903 had been but 391 tons.
This achievement was. one OF the
results of the fact that the 40 rail.
roads in the territory affected ex-
pended during the past 10 years an
average of $200,O0000O year in en-.
larging the roadbed and equipment.
The Increase in the property invest
ment account per mile is due to many
things-larger and more expensive
terminals and stations for both pas
senger and freight; elimination of
curves. grades and crossings; heavi-
er and improved bridges, rails, ties,
signals, interlocking, etc., and gener.
ally a more substantial standard of
roadbed to carry the heavier equiH
ment.
The railroads also have built larg-
er locomotives. The average locomo.
tive in service in 1912 had grown 50
in size and power that it could haui
heavier load by more than one
third--33:S per cent, to be strictly
accurate-than the locomotive of
1903. This meant that two locomo.
