program is based on the fundamental
proposition that the State should regard
private monopolistic power as contrary q

attack a particular business orgahiIa'

The Progressives therefore advoeats
the creation Of a strong Interstate Trade

First, the power OF investigation

Second, the power directly 10 prohibit

commission to stop all monopolies based
on unfair and oppressive trade practices.

practices. what is needed is not the

WASHINGTON IS
BATTLE-GROUND
Anti Saloon League Of Amer

In This State

WESTERV1LLE, Ohio. March -.
The whole power Of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of America is to be
turned into Washington to support
the temperance organizations of that
state in it's campaign for statewide
prohibition. This has been determin-
ed by the national organization Of
the League. and it's campaign will
open the latter part of this month
and continue until the issue is deter
mined in November.
At the recent national convention
of the League held at Columbus, Ohio,
that body was completely re-organiZ
ed. Prior to that, the national body
was loose federation of state
leagues without much control over To-
cal organizations. The reorganized
body is compact machine in which
all Of the state organizations become
departments of the national organiza-
ton. This reorganization becomes ef-

The heads of the Washington state
department of the League are Hon.
L. f. Kirkpatrick. of Seattle, presi-

The last of this month, the ad-

duct the preliminary series of rallies.
This preliminary campaign will be
opened by the strongest speakers at

Among them are such men as Hon.

Mass Meeting i. Called at
The City Hall Next Thurs

WOULD REDUCE TAXES
May Form Branch of State
Taxpayers League, and
Become County Wide

Complaints of high taxes are us.
ually looked upon as an annual in
Fiction that breaks out about taxpay-
ing time, runs a month or so and
ceases, but this year is likely to prove
the exception to the rule. Never has
there been such disposition to scru-
tinize public expenditures as is wit
messed this year, nor such determin-
alton to insist upon looping off every
dollar of unnecessary expense.
Two reasons may be assigned for
the deep feeling this year. The ex-
travagance of the last legislature is
one of them, and the fact that for
the first time in it's history, Cheha-
lis county property bids fair this year
to be assessed upon an equitable
basis.
Aberdeen, in common with the bal.
ance of the state, is manifesting
deep interest in the subject. It's pro-
gressive citizens realize that we can
not attract the capital and popula
tion requisite for the development of
our boundless resources so long as
the tax rate is onerous. With this
view in mind, the following call has
been issued for public meeting in
the city hall next Thursday night,
March 10. to which the public is in.
vited, with view of taking organic
ed action to remedy this crying evil:
To the Taxpayers of Aberdeen:
Believing as we do. that there has
been great extravaganza in state
county, municipal and particularly
school district affairs and that if left
to run unchecked it will result in
ruination and bankruptcy; that diff
ferent organizations exist in the state
who are continually agitating and de-
manding extravagant legislation in
volving the expenditure of large sums
Of money and annually creating new
Offices and officers, to the end that
state and county taxes for Chehals
county have increased over one mil
lion dollars in five years-municipal
and school taxes have increased in a
like proportion; that the time has
now arrived when steps should be
taken by the taxpayers to quit quar-
relling among themselves as to who
should pay the tax and by organiza-
ton endeavor to strike at the cause
of the evil; we have therefore taken
the responsibility upon ourselves to
call a mass meeting Of the taxpayers
of the city Of Aberdeen to meet at
the City hall on the 10th day of
March, 1914, at 8 o'clock. p. m, for
the purpose Of discussion Of tax mat.

FOR LUMBERMEN
Telegraphs to President For
Modification Of Canal
Tolls Repeal
EQUAL CHANCE WANTED
Either Rebate or Privilege of
Using Foreign Bottoms in
Panama Asked

TACOMA, March 12.-As the re.
suit of meeting of representative
lumber manufacturers in Tacoma
Monday, in conference with Gov. Err
nest Lister, the governor sent tele-
gram to President Wilson suggesting
modification of the canal tolls
amendment in the interest of the
great lumber industry of the Pacific
coast. The telegram is as follows
"The passage of the tariff bill af-
fected the lumber industry of the
state of Washington by taking all
duty off lumber.
Aids British Columbia
"The repeal of the free tolls through
the Panama canal for American ships
engaged in coastwise trade would be
in amount per thousand feet on lum-
ber SO handled far in excess of the
difference made by the passage of the
tariff bill and would give the lum-
ber interests of British Columbia the
full benefit of this advantage. mas
much as lumber from British Colum-
bia points could be handled to the
ports of the United States in foreign
ships at much cheaper rate than
our lumbermen would have to pay in
American bottoms.
Want Equal Chance.
1--WE feel, inasmuch as the duty has
been taken off lumber, that we at
least should have an equal chance in
our own markets with foreign COM
petition. and hope it may be possible
to decide on some plan whereby this
result may be obtained.
ri would not presume to indicate
any definite plan. Some methods sug.
gested, however, have been, first, al
lowing the shipment of our lumber
products from the Pacific coast to
the ports of other states in the Union
in foreign vessels, so that we may
have the benefit of the same tonnage
charges, and, second, possibly meth
cd whereby on shipments from and
to ports within the United States Il
rebate on toll charges could be made.
Damage to Industry
There may be other methods bet.
ter than either of these suggested to
bring about results. The repeal of
the bill providing free tolls without
some remedial legislation would not
only be of incalculable damage to
the lumber industry Of our state and
to the tens of thousands employed
in it, but would also have a mater.
ial effect on the general business con.
ditions.

The interest taken in the munich
pal primary elections Tuesday was
clearly shown by the large vote cast,
2,519 electors voting out of a total
registration Of 3,465. Close contests
we're made for police judge and for
councilmen in the first, second, third
fourth and fifth wards and some o;
the nominees won out by a narrow
margin.
The surprise of the day was the
large vote given T. H. Hill for treas
urer, he receiving majority over
the vote cast for both opponents. DR.
Mapes was not seriously in the race
and Mr.. Blyth was under a double
handicap. His endorsement by R. c
Sargent operated against him. Many
friends Of Mr.. Sargent, friends VIII
had supported him for that Office fol
nine years, resented his attempt t
initiate Roosevelt by naming his sue
cessor. Mr.. Blyth was called ava,
from his campaign by the unexpect
ed death Of his mother in California
and the time lost could not be re
gained. Mr.. Hills wide acquaintance
gained in his IA years. residence ir
Aberdeen, and his we'll known com
potency gave him clear field.
In the first and second wards, J
J. Ryan and w. B. Meade went down
to defeat owing to their supposed
connection to Councilman ]. .Myles
whose ward people do not seem to
altogether appreciate him at his own
valuation. No one who knows Mr.. Ry
an believes for a moment that Mr.
Myles had any strings on him, yet
the fact that Myles favored him cost
him many votes and wrought his de-
feat. The same may be said of Mr.
Meade, who happens to be brother.
in-law of Myles, and was blamed ac.
cordingly.
When the result in the first ward
became known Tuesday night, Myles
had a caucus called and D. F. Ber.
dine was placed in nomination in op.
position to E. c. Mcknight. Wise
ones in South Aberdeen point to the
narrow majority Myles had over the
socialist two years ago, when he nos
ed out with majority of %, and are
predicting the election of Mrs. Man.
ley, socialist candidate, next month
if Berdine stays on the ticket.
The contests in the second and
fourth wards were very close, O'Dell
winning over Mrs. Wiley in the first
by six votes, while Bowes only de.
feated Pearsall in the fourth by nine
votes. Gardner made great cam
paign for police judge, and lost by
II votes.
