There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced 1t a
local disease and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re-

Taxation Decision
Involves Millions
Judge Mbertson Rules That EXEMPTION
OF Y. N. {. A. Property Is
Invalid

Holding that the special acts of the
legislature exempting property of the
Young Mems Christian Association
and the Young Womens Christian Al
sociation, used for religious purposes
is in conflict with the constitution
and invalid, Judge Albertson in the
superior court yesterday denied a pe.
tition of the Y. M. c.. A. for an III.
junction restraining the collection of
taxes on it's property, and dissolved
the temporary injunction which has
been in effect since the beginning OF
the litigation.
The decision involves $5OO,OOO in
taxable values in Seattle, and millions
of dollars in the state that will be
affected should the supreme court up
hold the Albertson decision. The
property in litigation was exempted
on the 1912 tax rolls, but included on
the 1913 tax rolls on the advice OF
Prosecuting Attorney John F. Murphy
who held that the auditorium alone
could be exempted for religious pur.
poses. Judge Albertsons decision
sweeps the auditorium out of the cate
CORY of exemption.
The court holds that the constitu.
tion of the state expressly prohibits
the enactment of any special or priv.
ate laws for the assessment or col
lection of taxes.
Under the general exemption law
bearing upon property used for reli
gious purposes, the question before
the court was whether or not all OF
any portion of the Y M. G. A. prop.
erty is used for religious purposes. 1t
is held by Judge Albertson that the
association is worthy of every con
sideration that may be conceded und
er the law. It is said, however, that
building occupied largely by dor
mitories, laboratories, natatoriums,
bowling alleys, barber shops and cafe
.terias cannot be held to be used sole
ly for religious purposes.
eff the plaintiff could be considered
on the footing of a church, there
would be no occasion for a statute
providing specially for the exemption
of it's property" says the opinion.
''Nor could the right Of exemption be
granted on the ground that it is a
charitable organization. There is no
provision of the statute that under
takes to exempt the property OF charit-
able institutions in general, even II
poration of that class

saloon in Arkansas. 1t is not yet
known whether the various efforts to
secure enough signatures TO petitions
for saloons have been successful.
Vigorous preparations have been
made by the officers of every county
in the state to enforce the law.
The fight to make Arkansas dry
has been on for years. In 1912 pro-
hibition amendment was submitted,
but a negro disfranchisement amend
ment submitted at the same time en-
abled the saloon men and the colOred
people to get together on a working
arrangement to defeat both. Resting
easy over their victory in this cleo
ton, the saloon men were startled by
the legislature of 1913, which passed
the Going bill, providing that the con-
sent of majority of all the white
adult inhabitants should be obtained
before any saloon might be licensed.

The Four Great
Resources OF
Thee ountry

Mr.. James ]. Hill, in the course of
an article written by him to the Chi
cago Record-Herald in support of his
propaganda for better cultivation of
the soil and increased production Of
food stuffs, as the basis of national
prosperity, sets forth that "the sum
CT a nations resources is simple aud
fixed" In his view there are just
four sources from which national
wealth can be drawn: From the
sea, the mine, the forest and the soil
must come everything that can sus-
tain the life of man.
Without proceeding to discuss his
further argument, showing the possi-
bility of the gradual exhaustion of
the mines and the forests, leaving the
soil as the final resource of the nation,
it is worth while to take stock of the
position of this state of Washington
with reference to these four sources
of national wealth.
In value of fisheries products Wash
ington is the first state in the union.
In value of forest products it likewise
holds first place. In productiveness
of soil it is second to no state, al
though there are many others with
much larger portion of their arabic
lands under cultivation. The mineral
resources of the state have remained
almost untouched, but enough is
known of them to show with fair
degree of certainty that in time Wash
ington will be among the first states
in the value of it's mineral products.
No other state in the union, East
or West, has these four great natural
resources in such quantity as has this
state. In addition to this it has in it's
water powers, developed and unde-
yelOped, the cheapest form of power
through which to make the largest
use of its natural resources, and has
such power in number and extent
greater than any other portion of the
United States. And this state is yet
in the infancy of it's development,
great as it has already become.-Seat-
tie Post-Intelligencer. 81

LAWMAKERS AND THE PEOPLE.

Probably the greatest advantage
the people of Washington will derive
from the initiative principle written
into the state system, under which
electors can propose laws, is in the
salutary influence the very existence
of this reserved power will have on
the state legislature. 1t will tend to
make the lawmakers, not only more
careful, but also more responsive to
popular demands for changes in the
law.
There is, however, danger to be
avoided. The use of the initiative to
meet ordinary legislative needs viii
tend to make it unpopular, and Dy
piling up increased tax burdens, final
" will discredit the whole principle.
The right of the people to initiate
legislation is an emergency right.
The right should not be used except
in extraordinary cases, when leglsia-
tors have failed to meet their sworn
obligations, and even then the people
should invoke the power with e1'
treme caution.
The legislature of this state has no.
been abolished; its membership was
not even reduced by the organic
changes which enable the people 10
initiate laws, and since we probably
will continue to keep consideraDla
number of statesmen on the puohc
payroll we may as well exact OF the"

imposed upon them by the constita'
ton Of the state.

Wins From Argus

In the best game of the season,
last Sunday, Friday Harbor defeat
ed the bellingham Argus.
Mckay and Mcmillan were the
battery for the home team, with
Stages at short and Mann at second.
Mckay struck out IL batters while
the opposing pitchers struck out 10.
Both sides were held scoreless un-
I'll the fourth inning, when the visit
ors got one. Another Gus got home
in the fifth but the Tigers came
right back and the ones that wern't t
walked, pounded the offerings of
Farmer" Hilby, who had replaced
Sweet on the mound. to all corners
of the lot, but only two scored. The
score remained tied until the eighth
when a two-base hit brought in one
run IOr the GuSSleS.
In the next half Anderson walked
and stole second and Stages evident
ly admiring the two-bagger made
by one of the visitors, repeated the
performance, again tying the score.
In the first of the ninth the Argus
boys were unable to score and the
fans were expecting a few extra ia-
nings for their money, when Larson
reached first through an error and
Blancett, thinking Bud was getting
homesick, broke up the game with
two-bagger.
Mann is showing up we'll at Sec
ond. In the sixth inning he made a
brilliant one-hand catch of fly and
robbed "Sandy" of a hit.
Score by innings:

cost the people of this state about ST.
O6S,OOO to vote upon the proposed ini-
tiative measures. That is about $64,-
600 for each measure, exclusive OF
the state appropriation of 100000, the
elements of the cost being $1,000 for
checking signatures by cities and
towns; $4,000 for paper, printing and
binding 120 pages of arguments for
the benefit of voters; $4,000 for print
ing and circulating petitions, and
about $4,000 which individuals would
contribute. AS this estimate of the
cost is based on an estimated vote
of 100000, it probably is too low, for
there probably will be fully 100000
qualified electors who will have to be
reached under the terms of the law
which authorizes the submission of
these initiative measures.
The cost of a legislative session in
Washington is about 100000.
In view of the fact that we are now
pouring more than $38,0O0,000 into
the public treasures of the state, the
people have right to ask themselves
whether it will be wise and proper
for them to spend $1,06S,0O0 for laws
of kind the legislature, which they
still maintain, has the power to en-
act.
The real friends of the initiative
principle, the men and women who
wish to see it invoked only in cases
OF emergency, when the lawmakers,
either because of ignorance or corrup-
ton, fail or refuse to respond to the
popular demand for progressive legis-
lation, surely cannot look with much
patience upon the practice of resort
ing to the initiative on trifling occa-
sions unless we couple with the prac-
tice a policy which will reduce the
numerical strength and change the
whole character of the state legisla-
ture
Conditions which now confront the
people of Washington, so far as the
legislative program is concerned, are
not without profound significance and
an extremely intimate bearing upon
every interest and every individual
in the state, and it is for precisely
these reasons that the people should
heed the warnings which have been
sounded against hasty action OF any
kind on pending measures. The
league, which has chosen STOP.
LOOK and LISTEN for working
motto. will not work in vain If it shall
succeed in inducing the people to
read and carefully study all measures
now up for public discussion. for It
may not only shield US against costly
economic errors which would weigh
heavily on our industrial welfare, but
also against errors which might tend
to weaken and discredit sound pro
sressive political principles.
