1y about the enforcement of law. Our
opponents understand and demand en-
forcement of law to protect property
rights only. They have no conception of
human rights-rights necessary for
human welfare, aye. even for the pro
lection of human life. The organized
labor movement demands that law shall
recognize these human rights that en-
forcement OF law shall be mindful of
human interests.
If the opponents of the Bartlett Bacon

they would conccde that the antitrust

Win Income Tax Affect Problem Of
Distribution?

The need for revenue, the desire to
distribute more justly the burdens oil
taxation, and a wish to bring about
some readjustment in the distribution
Of wealth, are the three reasons for the
passage OF the sixteenth amendment
TO the federal constitution, which Dr..
Vanderveer Gusts Of the department Of
political and social science Of the Uni
versity Of Washington regards as i'm
portant. But Dr.. Gusts contends that
the third reason is open to serious
question because it is an attempt to
deal with effects rather than with
causes.
DR.. GUSTS believes that it is with
the methods Of assessment that the
chief difficulties with the new law are
to be anticipated.
We will rely to less extent than
does England on the principle OF stop
page at the source, and more on the
declaration of the taxpayer" said Dr..
Gusts recently. Such declarations
have not been very successful in the
case of the property tax, but there are
some advantages possessed by the fed
eral government in dealing with in
comes that are not possessed by the
states in dealing with property. Sue
cess in the administration of the new
tax is something which we may hope
for with a considerable degree of con-
fidence.'

The procrastinator is always liable

invite trouble for all concerned. Many

a boon to his family In the event OF
his death. The would be insurant is
in good health today. but tomorrow
he may be stricken with a disease
that may bar him from the ranks OF

of securing a policy may be that 1t Is

fully the fact that life insurance VIII

day. His yearly premium on policy
taken out now would be appreciabiy
less than would be the premium on a
policy of the same amount taken out

Explains irregularities in Washing
ton Climate

Many people ascribe all the pc
culiarities OF Washington climate to the
Japan current, but it is only one Of the
many important factors that give u:
the best climate in the United States.
said Professor Edwin J. Saunders o.
the department of geology at the Uni
versity of Washington, in lecture OF
the climate of the state Of Washington
Changes OF climate have been ex-
planned by changes in the Japan cur
rent and by deiorestation of large
areas. The records show no decided
changes in climate, The irregularitie:
from year to year may easily be ex'
planned by the movements OF the storm
areas over the state"

County Seat News

At the meeting OF the county COM
missioners the past week, it was de-
cided to erect a concrete bridge over
the Wenatchee river to replace the
one now at the Mike Koran place.
The decision was reached after con-
ference with State Highway Commits
sioner Roy. The structure as agreed
upon will cost $45,o0o, will be To-
Gated 400 or 500 feet up the river
from its present site, will have d.
foot clearance over the G. N. tracks,
will obviate the steep grade of Sunny
slope and will have capacity OF car
rying any size load. The plan Of the
commissioners is to let the bids on this
bridge so that the work can be finished
by January /, 1915.
The commissioners also decided on
concrete bridge at Dryden, rather
than the steel bridge which had been
contemplated.
John A. Gellatly Of this city will
probably become candidate for con-
gress from the Fifth congressional dis
trict, which includes the counties Of
Chelan, Okanogan, Douglas, Ferry,
Stevens, Spokane and Pend Oreille.
He will decide definitely on this mat
ter within the next two weeks.

over S3S,OOO,OOO IN TAXES
FROM WASHINGTON PEOPLE
This Year-CheIan COunty's Rate Near
the tOp-Will be Higher Next
Wear

The total taxes of Washington and
all its political subdivisions, to be paid
this year, are $38, 273,35l, the state
tax commission shows in statement
prepared after receiving reports from
all counties. This is by far the largest
amount of taxes ever levied in the
state, exceeding by $7,068,530 or
22.65 per cent the amount levied in
1912, the previous high year.
The tax commission also has pre-
prepared table showing comparisons
between the taxes and the assessed
valuation Of property in the state for
all years from 1891 to the present. In
1891 taxes for the state and all its dr.
visions were $4.7o6, oo1, while the as
sessed valuation Of all property was
1881, 031, 03o.
The 1913 taxes payable this year
represent an increase Of 713 per cent
over those of 1891, while the 1913
valuation of $1,014,475 ,027 represents
an increase of zoo per cent over the
assessed valuation OF 1891. In other
words, taxes in the state in % years
have increased nearly four times as
fast as has the assessed valuation Of
property.
A comparison Of the 1910 census
with that of 1890 shows the popula-
ton of the state in 20 years increased
226 per cent. nearly the same rate as
that shown by assessed valuation, thus
leaving the increase in taxes out Of
proportion to still another element.
Almost half Of the increase over last
years taxes is accounted for by the
increases in both the public and per-
manent highway levies and the in
crease of the general fund levy to the
limit of three mills to meet general ap-
preparations made by the last legisla-
ture.
The balance Of the increase is &C.
counted for by increased expenditures
Of counties, cities, school districts and
towns. In King county alone the
total increase in all taxes is nearly g.
5000 over last year. Pierce county
shows an increase OF approximately
100000 and Spokane more than
100000. Asotin county has one OF
the most radical increases, so per cent.
In every county but one, Ferry, the
average rate of levy for all purposes is
greater than it was last year, and in
Ferry county a slight increase in as
sessed valuation results in taxes being
higher than those levied in 1912.
Adams county has the lowest aver
age levy, the report shows, figuring
only .20.88 mills on assessed valuation.
Skagit county, with an average levy OF
5S.55 mills, is the highest. In Spo-
kane county the levies are lower than
in either Pierce or King counties.
