ITS funny, isn't it?
William p. Crawford and Scott Calhoun, ex-
president and receiver of the Renton car line,
have suddenly become very, very generous since
The Star, last week, told about their scheme to
bleed the city out of cool million and six hum
dred thousand dollars for junk-ple railway.

WITH ITS STREET IMPROVEMENTS IN

shame if this city must pay 81 OOO, 900 hold-up
for the privilege of improving its own streets

has to pay any such tribute. AND ANY COURT

Not What Was Meant.

A certain doctor, who is, on his W
frank admission, 1.-THE ugliest man in
four countless" has a keen sense of
humor which enables him to enjoy
many real and unconscious reflections
upon his facial deficiencies.
Once. after he had arrived too late
to succor a poor woman who had been
killed in a factory, the local newspa-
per published IN ambiguous account OF
the case, which the doctor, with grim
appreciation, preserved.
Having first described how the wo
man had come by her Injuries, the
paragraph went on to say:
.Strong hopes were entertained OF
saving her life until DR.. P arrived.
but these hopes unfortunately proved
i'll founded, for the moment the doctor
showed his face within the door the
poor woman fell back with a gasp and
expired" - Philadelphia Ledger.

for the construction of armories and
state buildings. Nearly every legisla-
ture has added to the number of items
which must thus be brought to the
governors attention, and now there Is
a miscellaneous and burdensome as
sortment of contracts, bills and build
ing plans requiring his approval to
make them valid. The greater number
of these are of no more Importance
than those that do not come to him..
So large is their number and so varied
their subjects that it is impossible to
make a thorough examination Of all,
and he must depend upon the advice
and assistance of others, usually the
head of the department from which
they emanate, and as these documents
come from and bear the approval OF
the department head the governors APP
prevail is little more than a matter OF
form. l submit to you that the gov
ernor should be permitted to devote
his whole time and attention to the
duties Of the executive department
and that the entire responsibility for
the work of other departments should
be placed upon the department heads.
If you agree with me | ask you to
make the necessary change by legisla-
ton. If you do not l shall give my
best attention to this detail work.
The people of u state have chosen
me as their chief executive, and l en-
ter upon my duties with a sincere de-
termination to give them the best serv-
ice of which l am capable. You and !
are the representatives of our fellows.
through whom their hopes and desires
should be realized, and we must be
true to our trust. Differences In po-
litical beliefs must not affect our ac-
ton, and we should work in hearty
accord. This should be the easier be-
cause we are not strangers. | have
been closely associated with you in
legislative service. and my earnest
hope is that the friendly relations now
existing between us will continue ven
beyond our respective terms. My time
and my assistance will always be ut
your command as we strive together
for the advancement and prosperity Of
our state. JAMES f. FIELDER.

BUTT AND HIS BANKNoTES.
Isaac Was a Great Orator, but Wa
Careless With Money.


Some amusing anecdotes are told Of
Isaac Butt, the famous Irish orator,
In "The Life of Old Dublin" by Mr..
James Collins. The author recalls the
fact that Butt was very careless In re-
gard to money and repeats a reminis-
cence which he heard from the late
Judge Adams:
"Poor Isaac Butt was a man Of
splendid genius, but, as all the world
knew, careless to the last degree in
money matters. | was in Youghal
when the election petition was tried
there, and Butt was counsel for Mr..
Weguelin. At the close of the trial
Mr.. Butt was handed his check, run
ming to several hundred pounds. The
moment he got it he went owe to one
of the banks and cashed 1T

never forget the hullabaloo that fol

lam swept through the house. And In
the middle of it all, just as the police
were being summoned, the young son
of the house turned up with the miss
ing banknotes.

Butt. annoyed by the noise, got up.

improper Assessments.


Another reason for increased tax
burdens is found In improper methods
Of assessment, and this also results In
inequalities In taxation as between
municipalities and individuals. The
root of this difficulty is In the assessor,
In whose selection the question of ft-
ness generally plays but a small part
and who receives an inadequate com
pensation for the work he is supposed
to perform. The elected assessor usu-
ally gives poor satisfaction. The av-
erage annual salary in this state is
about $3.50, and some assessors who
have a quarter of a million of valua-
ton to assess receive the munifcent
sum of $40 per year. If we can de-
wise a way TO secure competent and
faithful assessors and place them be-
yond political control | believe the
cause for complaint would be largely
removed. As a-simple plan mot who'll
ly new for meeting the difficulty /
suggest that the county board of taxa
ton in each county establish local as
sessment districts, to comprise the
whole or a part of a municipality or
to include two or more municipalities.
and hat such board appoint assessors
for each district. who may be assigned
to assist each other and who shall be
chosen under the civil service act and
may be removed by the county board
after a hearing. Proper salaries can
be fixed, to be paid in the first instance
by the county and apportioned t o each
taxing district accordin~ to the taxa
BILE valuations therein and by them
paid to the county collector. The
county board should establish rules to
govern the work of the assessors, sub
ject to approval and revision by the
state board Of taxation. SO that uni
