help ELECT FISHEL
AND LOWER YOUR TAXES
Progressive Committee Exposes the Opposition
to Commissioner Fishel---His Record in
Lowering Average Taxes

Every voter and taxpayer in Chehaiis County, who
really appreciates the low taxes they to enjoy this
year. should vote to elect Earnest Fshe candidate
county commissioner the PROGRESSIVE ticket.
Fishels opposition comes from certain class of
property who for years have forced the little
payers carry their burden.
The only excuse the Washingtonian of Hoquiam can
find in its cry of DEFEAT FISHEL is that he is now
candidate the Progressive Ticket It cannot point
criticism
But why this opposition? Fishel voted to refund
outstanding warrants drawing per cent interest for
5H per cent interest. This urged by well known
Aberdeen banker Fshel also voted to cut interest on
the current county warrants from to per interest
And why not? The city Of Aberdeen is only paying
per cent its warrantsyet the city of Hoqua where
Fishel is being fought the hardest paying per cent
interest.
Fishel refused to expend all the money levied the
district the D. Hansen road this year-and his oppo
sition is more in evidence because Of his decision
At the instance of certain interests canard
circulated in Hoquiam that Fishe would not build the
East Hoquiam road He has always stood ready to build
When Fshel Locke, McGilIcuddy, Wilson and Wiley
voted to sustain the Assessors valuations mills lum
ber sawlogs tide lands timber lands and logged off
lands, well public utilities they gave the little
payer the relief he had been seeking for years.
Here few comparisons taken at random the
taxes to be paid next year homes in Aberdeen
pard with last year:
Lots and 8, Block "A" W. g. B. add owned by
B. J. Garman, taxes in 1914 S113. Next year will
be $685.
Lots 5, 6, Z 8, Block "B W. & B. add. owned by
G. E. Chamberlain taxes in 1914 were 1871. Taxes
next year will be $10616.
Lots and g. Block 3D.. Owned by M " Snyder
taxes in 1914 were $117.91 Next year will be 1888.
Lots % and 49, block Western add owned by Julia
Coxey. Taxes in 1914, $44.71 Taxes next year will
be $29.74
Block II, West End add Owned by E. B. Elder.
Taxes in 1914 $154.76 Taxes next year will be
1924.
These few of thousands of of lower taxes
in this county, the reduction not all being due to low
levy but to increased valuation which class
of property which has heretofore escaped paying its fair
share of the burden.
In Hoquiam j. A. Acteson in 1914 paid $4,000 taxes
on his home, while next year he will pay but 1884
Surely there has been something radically wrong if
this big difference has been found.
The Fishel Campaign Committee is making
parative statement of taxes of great many property
owners showing the difference during the past two
The information will be placed in the hands of the voters
before election day. If the statement shows saving the
present board of county commissioners Assessor Wiley
and Treasurer Mccicuddy entitled to credit Fishel
is of the up for reelection and the tax payers
should show their appreciation.
If you want lower taxes-a vote for Fishe1 will be
the best proofotherwise you will be satisfied with pay
in the other fellows share.
