Owing to the arbitrary action Oh
the state tax commission, taxpayers of
Humboldt county have felt obliged to
form an association, in an endeavor to
obtain relief from an unjust burden
laid upon them. Men familiar with
values in this county know that the
tax commission has raised the assess
ed valuations of lands that for a long
time have been in the market at
around $1,000 per acre to as high as
$500 per acre.
While eventually there will no
doubt some plan develop to furnish
relief for the injustice imposed, just
what it will be is not apparent at the
present writing. Courts are loath to
assume jurisdiction in matters relat-
ing to the assessment of property for
purposes of taxation. Wherever it
can be shown that a tract of land has
been regularly appraised by the asses
sor, and the assessment passed by the
county and state boards of equalza-
ton, it is almost impossible to obtain
redress from the courts for an exces-
sive tax. But in this instance the in
creased valuation complained of was
added by q state tax commission, su-
preceding the state board of equali-
zation. 1t is probable that in the re-
lief measures that will be adopted by
the Humboldt County Taxpayers As
ISOLATION, it will be found necessary
to attack the legality of the act Great
ing the state tax commission. In case
the Supreme Court rules that its ac-
tions are legal, it seems likely that
the only relief for the taxpayers will
be at the hands of the coming legisla-
ture.
In theory a state tax commission
would seem to be the correct idea.
But there are many theories that fig
ure out perfectly with a lead pencil
and piece of paper that are found to
be impractical when given a trial.
From recent developments, this would
seem to be one of them. Three men at
the state capital cannot be expected to
fairly assess every individual taxpay-
err in the state, both as regards real
estate and personal property. Local
officials in each county, acquainted
with the facts, are in a better posi-
ton to act justly.
But whatever the outcome, two
facts vii remain undisputed-the tax
rolls have been writtled to such an
extent in making corrections, that
should another change be ordered it
will probably be found necessary to
open a new set of books, and the pay
ment of taxes has been delayed for
three weeks, with the date Of delin-
quency set ahead for a corresponding
period.

ANOTHER FREE TRADE" RULE

--
Another effect of a free-trade pro-
gram has been felt. The Chicago and
st Louis stockyards have been closed
indefinitely, thousands of men have
been thrown out of employment be-
cause the Democratic party took the
duty of hides and beef.
The dread foot and mouth disease
vas brought here from Argentine Re-
public, and the great stoekyards in
dustry in this country has been para
lyxed, for the time all because of this
free-trade program.
But as has been said, about every
20 years q new generation of voters
come on, and they demand a change
from the Republican protection tariff
plan, but we have had less than two
years of this Democratic free-trade
program and now we are reaping the
results, and thousands of these voters
who would have a chance are just as
anxious to see the Republican protec.
tive tariff idea prevail.-Carrollton

tendent to discourage her paramour;
that instead of doing so, the superin-
tendent became indignant, visited
Phoenix, and returned triumphant,
with the order countermanded, that
not until later visit of the secretary,
when was presented to him affidavits
by several of the employees setting
forth conditions in detail, was she and
her paramour were discharged; that
even then was suggested a marriage
de CONVEYANCE between them, as
proper procedure toward allowing
them to remain, but which was not
cOnsummated because of the objection
of Professor Gung'l, the Musical Di-
rector, who threatened in such event
to resign.
This matron departed from the in
stitution on February 3, and not with
standing the fact that formerly as
many as three matrons were employ
ed constantly, the girls dormitory
was left without a natron, when most
needed, for the space of about five
weeks.
During this period the school teach
er, Mrs. Edwards, a good woman, but
without previous experience, in addi-
ton to her duty as teacher, effected
to discharge as best she might, the
duties of matron. However during
JnlS time, as many as seven girls eS-
capped from the dormitory through an
aperture in the floor which had been
pointed out to them by the former
matron. This was a radiator opening
over which was a removable metal
plate. During these three successive
nights from about nine o'clock to
about four in the morning, these sew
en- girls were in and about the guard
house, in company with the like num-
ber of boys. The ages of these girls |
and the boys range approximately /
from sixteen to nineteen years. The |
opportunity for relations between the |
boys and girls became possible by
reason of the fact that one of the in /
mates was an honor boy and was |
in possession of the keys to the guard
house and kindly accommodated all
parties by opening the doors.
On the third morning about five
clock, the presence of the girls at
he guard house was detected by an
officer. On this last night, only four
If the girls were visitors, the others

iormitory. This escapade was in
yestigated by the superintendent, and
although previously and subsequently
'ther girls were obliged to suffer
ash and humiliating punishment as
lereinbefore described, and for lesser

offenses, these seven girls we're simp-
ly given a verbal reprimand.
The institution contains about nine
ty-two boys of various ages, ranging
from twelve to twenty-five years,
many of the younger girls and boys
are undoubtedly capable of assimili-
ating under proper conditions, true
ideals of life. That, however, could
not be the expectation for these
younger girls under the conditions
herein described.
Lives of shame have been depicted
to them as easy and profitable and
certain cities referred to as the most
alluring in which to ply the traffic.
Such has been the instruction receiv-
ed by the inmates instead of the in
culcation into the immature minds of
the younger girls, of the great truths,
that where vice is, there too, is re-
gret, sorrow, despair, woe; but where
virtue reigns, there is found peace,
contentment, hope and happiness of
soul, and into those of the older girls,
the hopeful teaching that ''While the
light holds out to burn, the vilest
sinner may return"
If the institution were to be contin-
uously conducted under similar in
f1uences as those which have prevail
ed for the last few months, during
the icunmbency of the late matron,
then above the entrance should be
written: All hope abandon, ye who
enter here"

distance from the dormitory, that
whiskey and cigarettes were a source
of dissipation among the girls, and
that discipline was very lax.
I pass now to the subject of the
other matron, who, during the admin
istration of the former npatron, was
assistant. Upon the departure of the
former, the latter became head mat
ron. The evidence shows that her de-
meanor throughout was characters
tic of the demi-monde; that she was
lacking in education and refinement;
that she engaged frequently, either by
herself, or with the girls, in a great
variety of immOdeSt and vulgar dan
ces one of which, the ''Hooche-Koo-
che" and that she taught those dan
ces to the girls; that she was inor-
dinately proud of her physique, and
on every available occasion, both in
the presence of male employees and
of the inmates, she displayed charms
of persons, usually concealed; that
she frequently engaged in suggestive
and obscene conversations with the
male employees, and that one of these
was her nightly companion in her
boudoir, which fact was cognizant to
the girls; that she distributed whis-
ky to the inmates; that she allowed
male inmates TO VlS1C the SlrlS QOrInl-
tory and convied with them to pre-
vent detection by the guards; that
she publicly kissed and hugged male
employees in the presence of the girl
inmates; that she advised the girls to
escape, as the only available course
of freedom; that she frequently ad-
vocated a life of shame for girls as
the only path open to them after
their incarceration in the industrial
school, and that she extracted prom /
ises from them that they would en-
ter upon a life of prostitution as a
reward for her influence in their be-
half, for parole. The evidence shows /
that the superintendent was frequent /
Iy, though not always, advised by the |
of her actions, ,unfitness and /
bad influence on the girls; that in |
stead of needing this advice he re-
sented it; that on one occasion he |
was wont to lecture the girls; and |
while weeping tears in their presence
would eXhort them to the effect that
