fishing fleet, numbering over 1.400
boats, in the early rush for the Alas

plenty of fish, but no buyers and no
prices, as the country was overdone
with boats The Vera cruised through
out the islands, the crew and captain
hunting and fishing. There was game
everywhere except on the game pre-
serves, and on these there were only
wolves.
Captain Livermore described the

straits, and plenty Of adventure and
excitement intermingled, made the trip
one long to be remembered.

Mr.. Wiley is firmly "sot" in his
views, a fact familiar with all who
know him. He is a typical product
of the Kentucky mountains, where
he was born Al years ago, being al
most grown when he first saw rail-
road train. He has lived in Aberdeen
for the past % years, and has fol-
lowed the work of timber cruiser and
valuer of lands, a profession that has
made him valuable as county assess
or Some disagree with his work in
that capacity, but none doubt his sim
cerity in an endeavor to obey the
law that requires all property to be
assessed at so per cent of its actual
value.
The same rugged determination to
| act as he saw the right characterised
his term as member of the city
council, where his failure to side in
with log rolling may have injured his
efficiency as to securing results, al
though the wisdom of the position he
took has since been demonstrated to
have been right.
As a sample of his determination
it is recalled that when the west end
fill contract was let, he and others
protested against the action of the
engineer in awarding a contract for
raising plank streets and sidewalks
at what was considered high fig
ure he was asked what the work was
worth. He replied promptly and when
asked if he would undertake the work,
said that although that was not his
line of business, he would, and knew
he could make money at it. He and
associates did the work and cleared
$4,000 on the job, besides saving the
property owners of the district $685.
900.
There is general regret that Mr..
Wiley refuses to ask reelection as
assessor, so he could complete the
revolution he has commenced in that
Office. If he should succeed in reach
ing congress, we will be sure to hear
of him

publicans are, as usual, late in ar
irving at conclusion. Had they de-
plored high taxes during the last
session of the legislature there would
be no high taxes now 1t was wholly
due to Republican extravaganza IF
not absolute dishonesty that taxes
are so high in this state. The Demo
cratic legislators and the Democratic
governor did all in their power to
hold down the appropriations, and
Governor Lister saved the state S.
100000 by the use of his veto, but
the Republican legislature declared
it would manage things to suit itself,
and it did to a large extent.

can the party leaders get away from

terest, are responsible. The state
convention has gone on record as
"deploring" high taxes, but it did
rot 60 on record as pledging it's can
didates, if elected to the legislature,
to act differently in 1915 from the
way they acted in 1913. The de
ploring" is merely to catch votes. The
only way to lower taxes in this state
is to elect Democratic legislature
to support Governor Lister in his
fight for lower taxes and smaller ap-
preparations and the honest disburs-
ing of the states funds. Republican
legislatures have been tried every
alternate year, with one exception,
since Washington became a state,
and each legislature has been worse
than it's predecessor. The party be-
ca came drunk with-pewef"- and utter

We cannot hope for lower taxes
from the party which made taxes
high. We must have change.-Col-

Wherein Is Business Assaulted?

Business men, and especially those
engaged in the conduct of large al
fairs, have been insisting for three
or four years that the one legislative
need of the time was amendment OF
the Sherman act. They averred that
under that act and it's Interpretation
in the courts, they did not know where
they we're. Congress undertakes to
oblige business men, and especially
those engaged in the conduct of large
affairs. 1t essays to enact trust laws
that will be definite, clear-cut and tina,
will strike an unjust and hurtful mo-
nopoly. Are the business men, and
especially the big fellows, satisfied:
Obviously not.
Quite to the contrary there Is an
industriously stimulated and circulated
outcry against an alleged assault upon
business. The business man who has
not heard of it Is off the main line
CT business communication. II he has
not realized that he in common with
the rest Of the country is in danger
he is notified by the men on the
watchtowers to get in and howl. And
the burden of his howl Is to be this
self-same allegation Of assault upon
business.
Suppose the pessimistic gentlemen
who are alarming the country to pre-
vent legislation the more powerful and
less scrupulous of them do not like,
were to explain wherein BUSINESS Is
assaulted or about to be assaulted
would not that be something to the
purpose? To do this coherently and
convincingly, and at the same time
furnish stimulant for their inspired
propaganda Of pessimism would be a
feat to put their genius to the test

The Interests" in Mexico.

Some of the Eastern newspapers
have been digging deep into the stu.
alton in Mexico. and as a result we
have two separate stories showing
that the special interests are back of
the Federals and the Constitutional
lists. The New York Herald presents
letters and other documents showing
conclusively that an American syndi-
cate. operating through Henry Clay
Pierce, of Standard Oil fame, has been
advancing the funds for General Car
rama and the Constituencies, in
return for promised railway, mineral
and oil concessions in Northern Mex
leo, while the English investors repre-.
scented by Lord Cowdray are support
ing Huerta.
These reports and documents indi-
cate that the Mexican people, particu.
larly the poems, have simply been used
as pawns in the game Of greed be-
tween the big business interests of
the United States and England. The
Huerta representatives at Niagara
Falls are ready to eliminate Huerta
and will nnquestionably yield much
to the Constitutionalists in the final
solution, for they see the writing on
the wall. But they are expected to
gain a. much as they can for the
great interests of which they are a
part.
The big interests, wherever they
are. never care who represents them
in the government. 30 long as they
are represented. In Mexico they would

other. 1t is a matter of Indifference

is really their man.

A Bit Of Political cIaptrap.

Congressman Britten of Illinois has
offered bill in the House making it
penitentiary offense for member
of the Presidents cabinet to lecture
for pay. TIL bill, of course. is aimed
at Secretary Bryan and is offered for
the purpose of giving the Bryan
phobes another topic for discussion.
The subject is not one that calls for
statutory treatment. If there is any
offense in lecturing by cabinet men,
bers it is to the proprieties, not to the
moralities. 1t is entirely matter of

The Cost Of q Strike.

The statistics Of loss occasioned by
the great Paterson silk workers strike
tell the old, old story Of the ultimate
sufferers in such sorry warfare. The
manufacturers lost $2,500,000, the
workers 100000 and the business
men Of all kinds $10,O00,000.

and the business men combined are

ton by $12,5OO,OO0 than were the
manufacturers, that is, the compare.
lively few who owned stock in the
manufacturing corporations.
Long strikes are economic blunders,
if not crimes. 1t is the public that
should insist. whenever, possible, that
they be not permitted.

Simply a "Ferninst" Platform.

Colonel w. w. Robertson, editor OF

delegates to the Republican state con.

making of it. Colonel Robertson was
enthusiastically in favor of plat
form plank calling for a Constitution
FL convention. He expresses regret
over the defeat of the plank, which
he says, was the only one offered that
presented a live issue in which the
people are interested. Discussing the
platform, the Republic says
This resolution proposed to com.
nit the Republican party to def

worth while. It was the only
proposal of that kind. 1t was re-

Present System Of Dispos-

It was while attending the Conser-

Robert A. Wiley became imbued with
the idea that his proper place was
in congress. That as a member of
the lower house he would be in a po-
sition to do good work for the state
of Washington and the Northwest.
Mr.. Wiley is stoutly opposed to the
system of conservation advocated by
Clifford Pinchott and which largely
prevails in the administration of the
public lands and water power sites.
and, should his ambition be gratified,
would endeavor to work for the modi-
fication of that system in accordance

Send the Right Kind Of Men to the
Legislature.

The choice of the right men for the
legislature is matter of foremost
importance to the citizens of this
state. Not merely the election of the
fittest among the nominees, but the
nomination Of the fittest candidates
has to be thought of and worked for
Nor is this enough or ALL There must
be planning and working to have the
but men in each legislative district
consent to become candidates for the
nomination and put forth energetic
efforts at the primaries.
No other elective officials for the
whole state are quite so influential for
it's good or i'll as are the legislators.
They are the people themselves acting
as a body in deliberation through
their representatives. They have the
power of making and of reshaping the
statutes under witch we transact most
If our affairs. They hold the power Of
the purse. They can promote or re.
tard, through wise working or through
unwise and unintelligent procedure.
the development of our commonwealth.
The extravaganza of the legislature
of 1928 concretely emphasized in a
way that came home to every tax
payer and can be felt by every citizen
how it is the business and the neces-
sity of every one Of us to take per-
sonal interest in the character of the
candidates and the competence of the
nominees. None of us, however much
he may profess not to be interested
in politics, can afford to neglect the
selection Of candidates and the elec-
ton of nominees for the legislature.
The result comes home to the hearths
end brsire-aes Of every citizen Of
Washington.
The performances of the last legis-
lature occasioned and necessitated
that great series of articles by E. D.
Cowen on the mismanagement of the
finances of this state. Those articles
substantiated and vindicated The
Spokesman-Review's emphasis and
emphatic iteration of the need for OBJ
tanning representative men in every
community as legislators. They need
not be business men only. They must
be men of practical ability with the
open eye and the public spirit to legis-
late for the best interests of every
class and community in the entire
commonwealth. They should. above
all, be men whose minds are set on
effective and economical administra-
ton of the states affairs.
