month ago. He was sent to the Cali
fornia state prison at San Quentin
and was released on parole but a
short time before he returned to
Grangeville. Shortly after his Ar
rival here he met Miss Beck on the
street and accompanied her to her
home, but was ordered from the
house by Mrs. Beck. At that time he
said that he had returned to Grange
vile to marry the girl, and while they
have since met few times on the
street, it is known that there had
never been any understanding that
they were to be married.

Walker secured the license today, he
showed the paper to some friends in
a pool hall and remarked that it
would be either one of two things
that the girl would marry him or he
would kill her. While in the pool hall
he procured paper and an envelope
and wrote letter, but it is not known
the letter was mailed.

SuIzer Withdraws Tax Bill.

ALBANY, N. Y, Mar 11-Govern-
or Sulzer has announced that the bill
to double the state tax on transfers
Of stocks is to be withdrawn. The
measure was recommended by the gov
ernor's committee of inquiry as a
means of increasing the states reven-
ue. 1t was bitterly opposed by Wall
street. The present tax is 81 on each
100 shares of stock transferred.
Governor Sulzer issued a statement
outlining his attitude in regard to
the proposed tax.
after careful consideration, he
said, 81 have decided that the bill
goes too far, placing too great a bur-
den of taxation on a single industry.
The committee has concluded that it's
enactment may do more harm than
good, and we prefer not to risk any
injury to the legitimate business of
our state or divert it's business to
other states. We need more revenue,
but we will get it without menacing
business.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON breaches THE WORTH
AND DIGNITY OF LABOR in NATIONAL LIFE

"Seest thou a man diligent in his
business" said the Yankee philosopher
Franklin, "he shall stand before
kings"
Last night a packed audience in the
high school auditorium saw man
who, although of inferior" race, had
stood before kings, and eaten with
presidents, and because he was dill
gent in his business of teaching his
people the dignity of labor.
He was not bulky man, character
istically African, but not of the pure
racial type; perhaps disappointing to
many of his auditors who had then for
the first time seen him on that account
But determination was written in his
face, although the white man could
scarcely see the age he boasts therein,
and optimism was written in his soul.
1t wasn't hard to believe that he
had slept under the sidewalks of a
city which was later to honor him by
adjourning the legislature while he
spoke therein. 1t wasn't hard to un-
derstand that beginning with ii.tle
cabin he had builded great institu-
tion for the benefit of his fellows in
his race The mastery of his face
showed that. And before he had fin

understand that the work he had be-
gun for his own race had taken on the
character of work for all mankind.

of an idea. Most men are slaves to
an idea, but with his indomipatable
spirit and his unconquerable optimism
he has made himself the ideas mas

labor.

He had robbed the idea of its dress
of the big words so dear to his race,
and so often misunderstood by them.
He had got it down to good hard facts.
And he has impressed those facts up
on his race and upon many of the white
race as we'll, until the impression he

summed up his conclusions upon it's
work.
''That starvation wages are being
coined into enormous profits is al
ready proved conclusively,' he contin-

Deny as they may" Acting Govern
or O'Hara continued, "the millionaire
employers cannot convince the public
that they don't know that low wages
are the prime factor in the ruin OF

sIt is up to them to redeem them
selves by raising the wages Of all their
girl employees to that of the bread-line
limit which they themselves have fixed,
that is, So per week, and they should
do it without state compulsion."
The Investigators meet tomorrow at
Springfield to decide whether to force
an answer from the millionaire en-
ployers as to what their profits really
are. After this they plan to go to
Washington and lay the evidence they
have secured before President Wilson.

woman, sentenced last week to one
