spontaneous manner. this young writer
draws innumerable pictures-close, per-
sonal. impass.oned pictures-of the life
of a group Of southern families in the
bitter. close-range experiences with war.
To be sure, as q view. this one is young,
one-sided, unconsidered. Its office. how

of the war What 1t does do is to give
innumerable glimpses of wartime condi-
tons as these actually existed within the
range of this young girls vision and per-

a notable work as well as an absorbing
ly interesting one.
THE POINT OF VIEW. BY Elinor

The astounding beauty of Stella Raw
son, the young English heroine Of this
novel, is calculated to drain ones mag
nation dry. And, besides this. the girl is
wrapped impenetrably in that particular
sort of youthful ignorance that is loosely
described as innocence. The effect of this
combination produces heroine exactly
suited to the early Victorian novel and te

Ole HANSON COMING.

Ole Hanson, the next United
States Senator from this state. who
will succeed Wesley l.. Jones. will
open his campaign in Whatcoln coun
ty on Friday, July 3, at Sumas. On
Saturday, July 4, he will address the
voters at Bellingham. and on Tues
day evening. July Z, he will speak
in Lynden.
Mr.. Hanson will visit every town
in the county. The exact dates for
his visits to other than the three
places named have not been ar
ranged, but will be announced Ia
ter.
Ole Hanson is the Progressive
candidate who for the past two
months has made strenuous CAM
paign through central. southeast
ern and southwestern Washington
in the interest of the Progressive
movement in general, first Of all,
and secondly, in the interests OF his
own campaign. He encounters ev-
erywhere determined effort to
force candidates for the legislature
to pledge themselves to economy
and retrenchment; and he also re-
ports keen interest in political
questions. especially those relating
to high taxes.
Ole Hanson is man of unusu-
al force of character and intellect
ual attainments. Everywhere in
the state where Ole Henson is
known, and especially in Seattle
where he has lived for the past
twelve years. he is respected for
his business integrity. his high So

ciples for which our party stands
and will not try to trim or equivO-

If the people do not agree with me,

BONDS
CARRIED
With Its Paving and Street
Improvements, Lynden will
Soon enter New Era of
Physical Development.

At the special election held III
Lynden on Tuesday there were 26a
votes east out of total registration
of 4O2, with 191 in favor of The
bonds and 72 against "a vote ot
almost to l in favor of making
the public improvements covered by
the proposed bond issue. These i'm
provements include curbing, grading
and the paving of street intersec-
tiOns on Front street from First 10
British Columbia Avenue, and Third
street from Front to the b. & N.
depot; also, the improvement Of
west Main street and the c0nstruc-
tion of new bridge over Fish Trap
creek.
Our town officials have announc.
be started at once and pushed to
completion. Some preliminaries are
necessary, such as deciding upon the
kind of pavement to be laid, the a.
warding of the contracts, etc, but
as soon as these are arranged. Ayn-
den will have set for itself new
milestone in it's advancement and
the paving of it's business streets
will have been begun.
Since the time when few log
cabins housed Lynden's p0pulace,
down through the years vt the
towns growth and unfolding until
it has assumed it's place as the pre-
mier municipality of its class in the
Pacific Northwest, no single thing
has been undertaken which has
meant more for Lynden's advance
ment than the beginning Of street
paving and permanent street i'm
prOvement.
Paved streets and proper high
ways leading to and from town
are the greatest factor in settling UP
the country which surrounds it, If
the region surrounding a town is
developed to it's possibilities, the
growth and prosperity of that town
will follow as natural sequence.
A nice, clean and attractive city,
with streets properly paved and
cared for, will bring the homeseek-
er, and when additional farmers,
dairymen and orchardists are at
tracted to our fertile lands, new in
dustrial enterprises will be found
knocking at our doors.
1t is gratifying to those who ad-
vOcated the voting Of the bonds
that the decision of the people OF
Lynden on Tuesday was so greatly
in favor Of proceeding with these
improvements. A vote of almost
three to one in favor of the bonds
indicates a progressive spirit on the
part of the people that augurs well
for the future Of our beautiful lit
tie city.
Through the efforts of few of
our progressive and loyal citizens,
the people have come to a full real
izatiOn of the absolute necessity for
lettering the condition of the streets
and Lynden will now be classed a
mOng other wide-awake towns In
this section, subject to no reproach
on account of muddy streets in its
business section. but safe in the
conviction that her new improve
ment is on a par with any being
done in any neighboring town.

10000 PR0HIs SIGN
Washington Statewide Prohibition
Petition to Be Filled July 1.

Washin0ton State.Wtoe Prontpttion
Petition to Be Filed July 1.
Olympia.-George d. Conger, state
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, says that 10000 signatures
have been procured for the proposed
initiative statewide prohibition bill.
The petitions will be flied with the
secretary of state probably about July
/.
Approximately $4,000 signatures are
required to give an initiative measure
a place upon the ballot. At the elec-
tion of 1912 approximately 100000
votes were cast, II tbs same aumber
should be cast this year on the pro-
hibition question the Anti-Saloon
League forces would need about 55,-
600 more votes than are represented
by the signatures they possess, to in
sure passage of the bill.
The Stop-Look-Listen League, which
is opposing the seven sisters initiative
measures and the proposed eight hour
law, is now bending it's efforts toward
having signers of these petitions with
draw their signatures. Attorney-Gen-
eral Tanner ruled that signatures
could be withdrawn at any time up to
the moment when Secretary Of State
Howell completes his count and check.
The Socialist party, which is back
ing the proposed eight hour measure,
maintains that it has procured suf-
ficient signatures in excess of the 49,
900, that subsequent Withdrawals will
not affect the chances of this measure
finding a place on the ballot.

, laws.
This initiative measure corrects the
absurdity of two commissions fixing
two different values on the same
property at the same time, one for
rate making and one for taxation. A
given property can have but one fair
value. The value for rate making is
the proper basis of value for taxation,
and this bill provides that the value
found by the public service commits
sion shall govern for all purposes.
The law passed at the last session
allowing two values resulted in the re-
fusal OF the railroads to pay the full
amount of their taxes, claiming they
should have lower value for taxa
ton. The result is large amount of
their taxes still unpaid, their hope of
escaping based on this law. True
their taxes are too high, but SO are
all taxes too high. One class should
not shift part of the burden to
others already over-taxed.
We are told that this bill is uncon-
stitutiOnal because amending a law by
mere reference. Leading attorneys of
the state were employed by the last
legislature to draft bills for it's men,
bers, among them the agricultural
commission law, which does exactly
as in this bill, transferring the pow
-ers and duties of one official to an
other by reference only. II this bill
is unconstitutional on this ground,
then the eminent attorney who drew
the bill mentioned is mistaken.
The bill tends to simplificatiOn in
the organization of state government.
1t corrects the present bad provision
for two valuations of railroads and
other public service property by the
state and will save the taxpayers $685.

ry to former acting governor Hay
man also we'll versed in the at
fairs of the state. and one of its a.
blest newspaper men, on the part
of the Stop-LOok-Listen League. Of
fers the following negative COM
ment on this initiative measure:
The bill Is. in our opinion, uncOr,-
stitutiOnal, as embracing more than
one subject.
Many of the duties of the pres
ent tax commission. to-wit:
T..sse administration of theh in1
heritance tax law;
The escheating of estates;
The collection of state liquor
licenses;
Its duties in connection with
the board of state land com yiissiOn-
ers, having nothing in common with
the duties Of the public service COM
mission.
The public service commission is
now overburdened with duties re-
lating to it's particular functions,
and the enactment OF this measure
would merely result in turning ov-
er the important duties now per-
formed by the state tax commission
to mere clerks in the office of the
public service commission, as the
public service commissioners them
selves could not even supervise, much
less give their personal attention to
these additional duties.
This initiative measure and meas
ure No. s. proposing to place du-
ties of the supervising of corpora
tions, whether engaged in public
service or not, upon the public SER
vice commission would SO cOngest
the work of that department as 10
destroy the usefulness of the pub
lie service commission as a regu-
lative body and would add nothing
to compensate the people for the
loss. Initiative measures Nos. q
to 12 have the appearance of being
designed to SO hamper the chief reg
ulative department of the state that
it cannot perform it's proper func-
tiOns.

Washington.-The long fight in con-
gress over canal tolls ended when the
house. after brief debate and with
out the formality of a conference, ac-
cepted by vote of ZIG to II the SEN
ate amendment specifically reserving
all rights the United States may have
under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty or
otherwise.
Before ending the contest by con-
curing in the senate amendment, the

sal advanced by Representative Moss.

peal a flat declaration Of the right OF

Income Tax Below Estimates.
Estimates by Secretary McAdoo in
dicated that the government income
for the fiscal year ending June 80 will
exceed ordinary expenses by about
$3O,OOO,OOO That is about $1O,OOO,OO0
less than last years surplus. Income
tax returns have fallen far below or
iginal estimates and failed to offset
the expected decrease in tariff re
ceipts under the new law, but the Gus
tom houses turned in about $21 100000
more than it was figured they would
Whatever surplus there is for the
year will be absorbed by Panama
canal payments, as it was last year.
Secretary McAdoo estimated that
this years ordinary receipts would ag
gregate $733,OOO,O00 and the total or
binary disbursements $703,0OO,0OO. To
tai receipts for the last fiscal year
were $723,782,921, with ordinary dis
