CAMPAIGN AGAINST
INITIATIVE BILLS
COMMERCIAL CLUBS OF STATE
ASKED TO FIGHT SEVEN
GRANGE MEASURES.

The commercial clubs and cham
bers Of commerce in every city and
town Of the state Of Washington have
been asked to urge the people OF
their respective communities not to
sign the petitions for submitting to
the voters next November the seven
initiative measures which include the
drastic eight-hour law and the in
crease in the state tax on salmon.
according to q dispatch from Seattle.
These seven measures are backed by
the State Grange. the State Fedora
tion Of Labor and the Farmers Un-
ion.
The despatch says further: 1T ID
pointed out that these seven meas
ures are all G, sss legislation and that
II enacted into laws will affect every
resident of the state The eight-hour
law will, It Is alleged, strike . blow
at every small newspaper, the corner
grocer. the country merchant, the
small druggist and even the house
wife with one servant. The bill de-
claring for eight hours Is SO drastic
as to make 1t impossible for the
small as well as the large employer
of labor to do business. II the gro
Ger boy works over eight hours his
employer will be subject to arrest: |:
the same is true II the man who de-
livers your milk is called to work
over time.
"The bill for the increase in the
tax on salmon will. it is alleged, put
the fish business Of the state in po-
sition where it cannot hope to COM
pete with the salmon industry OF
Oregon and Alaska. The increase
proposed will eat up every cent Of
profit and the salmon people will be
compelled to retire from business.
voters are urged not to sign the pc
titions for submitting these measures
to vote-at least until they have
had an opportunity to study the
measures thoroughly and realize the
effect that they will have on the
community"

INHERITANCE Tx ulH
State Board Proposes Change 70 -
licve Transfers Of Real Estate.

With the state tar commissisn
vigorously enforcing the collection of
the inheritance taxes. persons own
ing property which has passsd ~
deed in contemplation Of death since
the enactment Of the inheritance tax
law are experiencing dificulty be-
cause Of the apparent Hen for inheri-
tance taxes. Many sales Of real ~
tate are held up because the record
fails to show the property to be free
from such lien.
To assist those whoae property
would not be subject to tax by clear
ing the record and to make It possi-
BILE to collect tax from estates where
the only object OF probate would be
the determination OF the inheritancS
tax, the commission is preparing a
bill which 1t will submit to the next
legislature, making it possible to ap-
praise an estate and determine its
liability without the long and expen-
sive proceedings required by probate.
Under this bill, the beneficiaries
will be required to file with the COM
mission an inventory of the property
passing, duly sworn to, the same az
is now required by the court. The
commission would then appoint ap-
praisers for the property to deter
mine the liability for tax. If the
beneficiary should not be satisfied
with the appraisement, he could ap-
peal to the superior court and have
the matter tried out without formal
probate proceedings.
1t is believed by the members OF
the commission that this will be a
great convenience in small estates
where the inheritance tax constitutes
an apparent cloud and that the state
will receive thousands of dollars from
other estates where the value of the
property is greater than the exemp-
ton allowed by law.

duction of wages of employees of the
corporation as the result of the cur
rent depression of business
President Fairfax Harrison deems II
only fair that the officers should con-
sent to temporary reductions in salary.
He has reduced his own salary 20 per
cent, and has asked all the other Off
$500 a year to accept temporary re-
ductions on a descending scale. propor-
toned to the amount of their salaries.
This will be done to distribuate the per-
sonal sacrifice equitably.
Under the plan adopted, the pay OF
those receiving salaries of as much as

officers affected have ali accepted the

HIGH SCHOOL CADET
ENLISTMENT HEAVY
Officers of School Regiments
Announced-May Form An
other Company.

With the announcement of the com
pany officers and the formation into
companies and battalions of the pupils
of the respective schools, the Washing
ton High School Cadet Corps of 1871
was brought into being today. Assist
ant Superintendent Of Schools kraemer
who has supervision Of the cadets
stated in making public the names oi
the commissioned officers that the as
signment of officers to companies would
be made by the principals of the several
schools. with the advice Of the military
committees.
The selection Of the non-commissioue1
officers has not yet been made. but can
didates in the second and third-yeal
classes are being considered by the sew
eral committees in charge and before
the end Of the week the sergeants ant
corporals will be designated.
Mr.. Kraemer is pleased with the un'
usual interest manifested among the
boys. While provision has only been
made fo- three companies at Central
High, 1t Is more than probable that a
fourth will be organized. There Is also
a remote possibility that four companies
will be necessary at the Mckinley Man
ual Training School,. where the enlist
ments are large.
Cost of Uniforms.
No time will be lost in perfecting the
organizations and before the end of the
week tailors will be on the ground
measuring the boys for their uniforms
The contract price this year is lower
than it has been for several years past
and all materials entering into the
clothing, as well as the completed uni
forms will be rigidly inspected by the
experts of the quartermaster' corps
of the United States army before ac-
ceptance.
A fiat price of SIS will cover the COM
plete uniform for privates, including
cap. insignia, and vest. Where the
vest Is not wanted, the cost will lie
s14.sO. For the officers the cost will be
s1710, without the vest.
With the announcement Of the com
ficers having been previously made
