LEAGUES PROTESTS
PROMPT REDUCTIONS
TAXPAYERS OBJECTIONS To
PROPOSED EXPENDITURES
AROUSE COMMISSIONERS

Aroused into action by the protests
OF the Thurston County Taxpayers
league. presented by Walter F. Nc
Dowell, temporary president, and
George F. Yantis, the leagues attor-
ney, the county commissioners this
week have been pruning the 1915
budget, gaining new courage in their
slashes after every nights sleep, and
were still hard at it Thursday.
The probabilities are that as a re-
suit of the leagues activities there
will be considerable reduction in
the total amount of the budget and
therefore in the tax levy, when the
commissioners get through. A COM
'parison then between the final budget
adopted and the one originally pro-
posed will enlighten every taxpayer
as to the effectiveness of the leagues
protests.
The formal protest, filed by the
league Monday, asked for the follow
Ing reductions: treasurer's Office from
$1,000 to $4,000; auditors office
from $8,375 to $6,675; engineers Of
fice from $4,100 to $4,000; and COM
missioners' per diem from $500 to
$500. The leagues contentious
were based on the cost Of the particu-
lar departments in former years and
the cost Of the same Offices in other
counties handling about the same
amount of work.
Messrs. Mcdowell and Yantfs ap-
peared before the board Tuesday to
discuss the estimate. when all OF the
county officials were also present.
Miss Annie CASTOR, Republican nomI-
nee for county auditor, sprung q sur
prise on the rest of them when she
submitted formal statement saying
she thought the salaries for that de-
partment could be cut from s., 500 a.
the estimate provided, to $l,78O.
which was done.
The leagues representatives report
quite fair and reasonable treatment
by the officials, though the ,Atters' at
tifude was generally hostile. until
County Engineer W. H. Yeager start
ed a personal attack ON Yantis in
which not only these two but G. A.
Burr, the retiring auditor, and others
present, were soon involved.
1t is expected the commissioners
will complete the budget some time
this week.

WAR NEWS IS MEAGER
Battle Still Rages In Northern France
Germans Attack Antwerp.

While the world awaits news OF
the great battle in which the English
and French allied forces and the Ger
mans In Northern France have en-
gagged for 27 days, the meager Official
reports from the front vouchsafe lit
tie information Of the actual opera
tions.
Today 1t is a small piece OF ground
lost and tomorrow the same ground
has been regained, Meanwhile, the
French forces are moving northward,
but are gaining little to the east
which would be essential to the out
flanking of the German right wing.
AS matter of fact. Gen. von
Kluck, in command of that section
of the German army, with heavy. re-
endorsements, which have reached
him in the last week, has taken de-
cided offensive, and day by day the
announcement is made by the French
war Office that "the violent engage
ment continues"
The Germans began to attack Ant
werp early this week and, according
to German reports of which no off,
cial denial has been made, the Ger
mans have smashed a way from the
south through the outer ring of Ant
werp's forts The gap is ap-
parently filled by the Belgian in
fantry, which is fighting hard, "des-
perately," according to German ad-
vices. Whether their position can
be sustained against the German how
itzers remains to be seen. The Ger
man commander began shelling the
city on Wednesday afternoon and the
Belgian government transferred its
headquarters to Ostend.

HAYS AGAIN ARRESTED
Second Charge Accuses Him of EN-
bezzling $50, $50 of Banks Funds.

w. Dean Hays, organizer and CASH
ier of the Olympia Bank & Trust
company which recently was closed,
was arrested again Tuesday on a
charge of embezzling $36,550 of the
funds of that bank and was later
released on an additional bond of
$4,000. He was arrested last week
on a charge Of accepting $227.51 in
deposits when he knew the bank was
insolvent, and at that time furnished
$4,000 bond, so that he is now at
liberty under $4,000 bond. F. G..
Blakeslee, w. D. Macarthur of Teni-
no, E. w. Kearns and Louis Fortier
were sureties on the additional bond.
The latest charge against Hays is
said to have grown out of the man
ner in which the local bank was A.
nanced and is SO reported to be in
volved with the affairs of the failed
United States National bank at Gen.
tralia. In view of the fact he was
already under $4,000 bond, Judge
Mitchell decided an additional bond
Of $1,000 would be sufficient, mas
much as 1t could be raised or lowered
later il desired.
Wednesday Frank p. Mckinney,
assistant cashier Of the Olympia Ma
tional bank. was appointed receiver
of the local and Tenino banks, but
declined to handle more than the To-
cal bank. Another receiver will be
appointed for the Tenino institution.
Last Friday it was announced that
Superior Judge Claypool would re-
sign that position and be appointed
receiver of these banks, but he an
nounced Monday that, owing to the
injury Of his son Jack in a football
game at St. Martins college, he
would not be able to accept the ap-
pointment because his sons health
would demand too much Of his at
tention.

Seven automobile loads of Olym-
plans drove over to Shelton last Fri
day afternoon to visit the Mason
County fair and were royalty enter
tanned by the Shelton people. The
local visitors expressed great sur
prise at the completeness and variety
of the exhibits in Mason county's
show. The party was headed by Gov
ernor Ernest Lister who made short
talk emphasizing the value of such
fairs in the upbuilding of the agri-
cultural interests of the state and
complimenting the Mason county peo-
pie on the fine showing they had
made.

POLITICAL WAR STARTS
NOn-Partisan Candidates to Begin
Series of Meetings Next Week.

War-real, uncompromising, face
to-face war---was started between the
opposing forces in local politics this
week and there is every indication
that it will keep up from now until
November and doubtless with in
creasing excitement. Reference to
the various advertisements which ap-
pear on other pages of this issue will
give even the most casual observer
"hunch" there is something going
on in local politics and the undercur-
rent of political gossip that is float
ing around gives promise of livelier
days to come.
The ,Non-Partisan candidates will
get into the game hot and heavy next
week with the first of a series of
meetings they propose to hold in all
parts of the county before the cam
paign Is over. AS stated in their ad-
vertisement on page 4, next weeks
meetings will be held at the McKin-
ley school in East Olympia. Brighton
Park, Pleasant Glade and Chambers
Prairie on dates that will be announc-
ed ON posters to be distributed in the
particular neighborhoods. These
candidates will devote several nights
each week from now until November
8 to ''spread the gospel of non-parti-
sanship until they reach every part
of the county.
Incidentally, the Republicans are
involved in a considerable mix-up
over one feature of their ticket, the
refusal of w. Dean Hays, the cashier
of the defunct state bank who Is fac
ing serious charges in the local
courts, to withdraw as one of the
legislative nominees, in spite of all
the persuasion that one Republican
after another has endeavored to ad-
minister. The upshot of it probably
will be that if Hays persists in his
determination to stay on the ticket,
"sticker" candidate will be put up
against him. At least that is the
story that is going the rounds.

FARM EXPERT FOR
COUNTY NEXT YEAR
COMMISSIONERS APPROPRIATE
$500 TOWARD AGRICUL-
TURAL BUREAU.

Acting upon the recommendations
of the Chamber of Commerce, which
were supported by members OF the
city council and endorsed by several
of the leading farmers Of the county,
the commissioners this week includ-
ed in the county budget for 1915. an
item of $1,800 to be used toward the
employment of an agricultural ex-
pert in this county for that year.
This appropriation, together with
5000 year the government will give
and $500 year from the Chamber
of Commerce, will be used toward
the establishment of an Agricultural
Bureau Of the local Chamber of Com
merce, whose efforts will be directed
by board consisting Of two mem
bers of the Chamber, the chairman
of the board of commissioners and
two residents of the county actually
engaged in farming.
The Bureaus field work will be
handled by an expert recommended
by the government and not some
"paper-collared city sport" as one
member of the Chamber of Commerce
expressed it. The Bureaus efforts
will be directed toward increasing
the productivity of the farms of this
county, raising the standard Of food
stuffs, placing the growing of farm
products on a more uniform and
therefore more marketable basis, and
toward developing markets for local
products. Its establishment comes
as the result of the efforts OF G.! w.
Draham, president of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The Bureau will be organized
shortly and its work inaugurated
January 1. It's establishment is con-
sidered the most important step re-
Gently taken by the local Chamber
of Commerce and it received the en-
dorsement of L. L. Snow, D. M. Kagy,

given in next weeks issue.

making against President Wilson in
