MILL TAX SUITS
ARE COMMENCED
Suits Of Mill Companies
Against Assessed Values
Begin Yesterday
LIST OF CONVENTIONS
Mills Insist Values of 1913
are too High, and Cite
Appraisal this Year

MONTESANO, May 25.-The first
Of the nine Grays Harbor saw mill
cases against the county, in the con-
tention that their assessed valuations
were too high, began this morning
with quite an array of legal talent.
The first case on the list was that
of the National Lumber & Box Co.,
of Hoquiam, which came on to be
heard before Judge Mason Irwin.
The assessment complained Of was
made last year by Assessor R. A.
Wiley. This year the valuations have
been figured by the General Apprais-
al Co., of Seattle, which are lower
than those fixed by the assessor in
1913. This fact, the mill companies
contend, is sufficient to prove their
contention.
Attorney w. E. Campbell, of Ho-
quiam, who is especially retained by
the county for all tax cases, demurred
to the complaint on the ground that
the sum assessed cut no figure unless
the complaint alleged that it was not
uniform with that placed upon othei
classes of property. That if it was
assessed on an equal ratio with other
property in the county there was no
cause for complaint. Judge Irwin
overruled the demurrer, saying that
Mr.. Campbell's position on the law
was correct, his opinion was that the
complaint was all right on that point,
and the case is being heard on its
merits.
A large number of witnesses are in
attendance, including all who had to
do with the assessment, and have to
do with the company's books, which
have been ordered produced. The
contention does not cover the tax
list of the companies, but'the movable
personal property alone, and does not
include real estate or improvements
thereon.
Following is list Of the Companies

Good Results of Minimum
Wage Law Depends Upon
Attitude of Consumers
MEANS HIGHER PRICES
If Buyers Want Women Well
Paid They Must Support
Home Industries.

OLYMPIA, May 25.-In an inter
view on the operation of the minimum
wage law as adopted by the last legis
lature, Commissioner E. w. Olson, Of
the state bureau of labor and ex-officic
member Of the minimum wage com
mission, declares that the efficacy ol
the law in its effects upon the working
women and the industries that EN-
ploy them depends in large measure
upon the attitude of the people of the
state.
| To Make System Effective.
"The members of the last legislature
believed that the people Of the state
wanted q system of minimum wage
adopted" said Commissioner Olson
"and the minimum wage commission
has been working hard with a view
to putting into effect the law enacted
in accordance with the desire of the
people in this regard.
"Now the duty devolves upon the
people of the state, in cooperation
with the commission, to make the sys.
tenn as adopted practical. If by estab
fishing minimum wage the working
girls and women of the state receive
more pay, as it is the popular desire
they should, there will inevitably de-
velop a tendency on the part of EN-.
ployers to replace the higher priced
girl and her products by labor and
products that can be secured more
cheaply. This is the natural result of
direct and keen competition with the
great starvation wage sweatshops of
the East, which are constantly placing
their products on Washington markets.
Up to the People.
Therefore something must be done
to counteract this tendency, and there
by to insure the working women their
positions at the higher wages which
it is desired to create through the es.
tablishment Of minimum wages"
"This counteraction must come
through the people themselves, and l
am able to see only one method by
which it can be brought about: The
purchasers Of products of the indus
tries that are now employing women,
and which 1t Is desired shall continue
to employ them at the higher wages,
must deliberately elect to purchase the
rrod,,otS ~ e., H., ct riao ND <Io ,,,ovo, &c
establishments that pay the higher
wages. II the working girls and wom-
en- are to profit by the administration
Of the minimum wage law, somebody
must contribute by some means that
profit.
Consumers to Share.
"Shall the consumers share that con.
tribution to the welfare of the en-

MEMORIAL SUNDAY.
Aberdeen Veterans And Patriotic Citi
zens Observe Day Set Aside For
Honored Dead.

Memorial Sunday was duly observed
in Aberdeen by special services in st
Andrews Episcopal church, when the
veteran and military organization in
the city participated in the most i'm
pressive service Of the kind ever held
in Aberdeen.
The church was filled almost to
capacity, and the program will long
be remembered. The sermon, by the
rector, Rev. F. F. W. Greene, on "The
Good Soldier of Christ" was a liter
ary gem and was listened to with
marked attention. The musical pro.
gram, under the direction Of Mrs. W
Y. Croxall. was not only well chosen
but splendidly rendered.

to highway, even in winter. from Alb.

The Farmers Unions of Walla
Walla, Columbia and Garfield counties
are leading determined fight against
the groups of initiative bills known as
the Seven Sicters." At district
meeting of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of America
held at Waitsburg few days since
which was attended by more than
three hundred farmers, a committee
appointed to investigate these propos-
ed initiative measures presented its
report, which was adopted unani
mously.
The committee in making it's investi
cation laid aside all questions Of poll.
tics and viewed the propositions
from the standpoint of the employer
Of labor, the consumer, the producer
and the taxpayer. From every point
the committee found the proposed in
itiative bills Objectionable.
The report pointed out that the last
legislature appropriated 100000 tc
pay for the states part in printing
initiative bills and that the most con
servative estimate indicated that this
large sum would be exhausted quick
ly. The cost of printing, circulating
petitions, soliciting signatures and
checking will bring the total cost W
to $1,000,000.
"A tenth of that sum would pay
for the cost Of a session of the leg
islature," says the report. 1T Is thu
opinion Of your committee that tht
initiative and the referendum are II
no way proper instruments to dis
place the legislature as a part Of thu
state government, but that all meas
ures first should be submitted to thu
legislature and If rejected by the leg
islature should then be introduced BY
initiative only as last resort ant
when it was found impossible to oh
tain the desired result in any othel
way"

The committee presented carefully
made analysis of the initiative bills
and pointed on the objections which
appeared to be most important. There
is no opportunity to amend the pro
posed initiative bills; they must be
adopted or rejected as they stand.
Several OF the measures are So
loosely drawn that it will require in
terminable litigation and numerous
court decisions to interpret them cor
rectly.
The committee believed that int
tiative measure No. 6, known also as
the blue Sky" law, will so overbur-
den the public service commission as
to affect seriously its usefulness. The
measure is intendd to prevent fraud
in the sale of stocks, bonds and lands
and if properly drawn might accom-
plish something which everybody de-
sires. However, the wording is so
loose that the measure as it is pro-
posed will interfere with legitimate
business and will tend to drive capi-
tai to other states. So far as the
farmers are concerned, the committee
believed that the investment of their
surplus cash in securities after they
have paid their bills and the heavy
taxes, need not give them serious
concern.

CHADWICK RAPS
John Panfon's sale of TinlOare in the
Argus, so We haue decided to send
him
A GOOD TIN PAN

Last Saturday Editor Chadwick,
of the Argus, took rap at George Cot
terill, John Panton and George Francis
Rowe. He says that "Cotterilrs an
nouncement is the most important he
has made since George Francis Rowe
gave his personal assurance that John
Panton was going to sell out his stock
of Tin Pans and Housefurnishings."
For this publicity we are duly
thankful, but we feel that Editor Chad
has the tin pans confused with tin
horns. We therefore feel that he is be-
clouding the sale by confusing it with
political issues. There is no connection
between tin pans and tin horns. Because
tin pans are of far more use, as all lovers
of pies like mother used to make" will
testify.
If the editor of the Argus doubts
this statement, he should come down to
John Panton's basement, where he will
see many hundreds of women who evil
IDENTIFY appreciate the prices John Pam
ton has made on his stock.
Indeed, it has been almost impos-
sible to wait on everybody satisfac-
torily.
However, the delivery department
is about caught up and everything will
60 forward on schedule time.
MIR. Panton has decided to send
Mr.. Chadwick, editor of the Argus, a
perfectly good pie tin, SO that hereafter
he will not get pans confused with any
other kind of tinware.
