For Coming Campaign.

At the meeting of the leaders of the
Chehalis County Progressive party,

TAX MOVEMENT
Is SPREADING
Taxpayers Leagues Forming
All Over State to Take
Action in Fall
COSMOPOLIS ORGANIZES
Will Scrutinize Legislative
Candidates Closer this
Year than Ever

a Taxpayers League was formed in
Cosmopolis last week, with l.. B. Ho-
gan president and Chas. Pulver, secre-
tary The league got busy at once
on a matter Of street improvements
which the town council seems to be
inclined to make regardless of the
protest of the property owners. A
committee of the protesting owners
was appointed to secure signatures of
property owners opposed to the inn
provements contemplated on G and
T. streets, who will pledge themselves
to defray the cost of contesting the
matter in the courts if the council
persists in going ahead with the
work.
The interest shown in Cosmopolis
is sample Of what is going on all
over the state. Speaking Of the ac-
ton in Aberdeen, the Tacoma Ledger
said editorially:
"In many parts of the state Tax
payers leagues are being organized
presumably because of the size of
the tax bills this year. Aberdeen has
new league. Other towns of Che.
halls county will organize in SINH
lar way, and eventually there will be
strong organization. 1t is sign
of an aroused interest in public af.
fairs.
I'VE are in the habit of letting
things run along a good while with.
out protest, and largely because of
our Indifference taxes become higher
or We do not get adequate returns
for the taxes we pay, which is even
worse than high taxes.
MANY property owners are less ac-
tive in politics than those who own
nothing that is taxed. Among the lat
ter are electors whose political pur-
pose is to add burdens to property
holding They have had an influence
in recent years out of proportion to
their numbers largely because taXpay-
ers have not come out emphatically
and made their position known.
"The situation seems to be chang
ing now. That is a fair inference
from the organization of so many Tax
payers leagues in the state. These
leagues are going to keep in closer
touch with the taX-levying bodies
They are going to watch more care
fully the administration of public
funds.
"We take it that citizens who are
organizing these leagues are not op.
posed to improvements. They are
are not moss-backs or reactionaries
Rather they have learned from the
growing burden of taxation that there
is need Of Investigating the use to
which money derived from taxation
is put They doubt whether the bene
fits have been equal to the burdens
and they are determined to learn
more about the collection and appli-
cation of public revenue.
Very likely these Taxpayers
leagues will look into the records OF
candidates for Offices in which rests
the power to levy tax and will use
their influence in behalf of those who
are not only committed to economy
but who by practical experience have
learned how to conserve the dollar"

LUMBERMEN ASK
INFORMATION
Northwest Lumber Manufact-
urers Want Line on Pro-
posed Compensation Laws
TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS
Board Sees But One Way to
Reduce Cost of Industrial
Insurance
TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS

TACOMA. April 4-Twenty ium-
bermen from all over the Northwest
met at the Commercial Club Thurs
day night. and after dinner at which
two members of the state indus'ri1'
insurance commission and the com
missions chief auditor were guests
proceeded 20 fire questions at the con-
mission. The call for the mcctir
was indefinite. but the purpose. i
developed, was the lumbermen's de-
sire to find out how the cOmpensa
tion act has been working in its re
lation to the lumber industry and to
get the commissions attitude relative
to rumored proposed amendments in
the law
1t was brought out that the COM
mission, upon the advice of Gov. Lis
ter and Labor Commissioner Olson,
favors the establishment of safety
committees of three employees in ev-
cry plant, who will cooperate with
the employers in their effort to keep
down accidents and fatalities.
Both the commission members and
the lumbermen said they believe the
time is coming soon when all man
ufacturing plants coming under the
laws operation will be rated under
the compensation act on the same
basis that casualty company rates
its clients.
The lumbsrmen believe the logging
and milling ends of the lumber in
dustry should be separated under the
act, or the rate of payment made by
them to the state changed.
the law has remained practically the
same, although it would seem to have
made enormous increases, but the
commission said the only way TO re-
duce the cost of it is to reduce the
number of accidents.
Floyd l.. Daggett, chairman of the
commission, and A. B. Ernst, mem
ber, were present, together with
George II. Tarbell, the commission
er's chief auditor. G. w. Cain, of the
West Coast Lumber Company, pre-

CAPITAL CITY NOTES FROM
 DAILY EMPIRE OF 21st

The annual report of Coy. J. F. A Strong was completed saturday and mailed to Washington, D. c. It will probably be out of press by January 1, 1915.
 The report is considerably larger than that of last year, containing at least 30 per cent more of sub ject matter than was created of in the previous document. It contains, all told, 196 pages of typewritten manuscript.
 There are nine more criminal cases yet to be tried at this term Of court exclusive of the government fisheries prosecutions for alleged violations of the fishing regulations. Some of the latter are to be tried at the Ketchikan term. or this number seven are for violations Of the statutes in regard to selling li- quor to Indians, and two are for first degree murder.
 It is very probable that the de fendants in the lesser offense will be tried first and be out of the way for the more important cases.

INSANE MAN WOULD NOT
 LEAVE ELS DOG BEHIND

A pathetic incident in connection with the sailing Of the White Seal last night was the devotion shown to his dog by John FIamaud, one of the poor unfOrJunates W hom De- putty Charles is taking to Ruby to transfer to the sluatorium at Morn ingside. A dog which has been his constant companion on the trail auf in camp at the different places in Alaska where he had worked until his mind gave way, followed him on board the vessel, and the as- surances of sympathizers that they would take good care of the animal failed to gain his consent to parting with it. At one time he did re- lent. on being assured that he would have to part with his pet at Ruby in any event, and consented to let Cyril Wood take him. MT. Woods assurance that the animal would be well taken care of seemed to impress him. But when the time came to leave, FIamand chung to his canine friend with fierceness and refused to part with him.

NORTHERN MINERS CAN
USE WINTER WATER POWER

s--=a=aN~-le~e
 From the Fairbanks News-Minel of Sept. 2d:
 Joe Boyle of Dawson should be crowned by the miners and pro gressive people of the North" said Leroy Tozier this afternoon in the course of a conversation with Val Diebold about utiliEing water in the winter time in the Delta country for power and mining purposes.
 Boyle has solved the problem of securing running water In winter time and he did it in opposition to almost a united opposition on the part of engineers from Dawson back to London. Right today at the cold est time of the year he is produc- ing enough water power to operate his 10000 horsepower plant at Daw- son without bit of trouble and has been doing 1t for two years.
 ''He has a six-mile ditch taken out of the north fork of the Klon- dike river, thirty miles from the city of Dawson. This ditch carries S0,OOO inches of water when full. In the fall, when the freezeup is due he runs the ditch as full of water as 1t will carry, allowing It to freeze a good thickness on the top. Then he drops the water several inches at the intake, which Is of course always protected by the heavy coat 0f ice on the surface of the river. This prevents the water from freez- ing any further on the surface of th ditch. To catch any small particles of ice that might form along the sides of the canal, he has built three large wire contriVances out of telephone wire that might be ltken- ed to a set of bedsprings. These he has placed at intervals in the ditch and has connected with his power line so that he can shoot them full of electricity. It is not expected that this will warm the water, but it does melt any ice particles with which it comes in contact and keeps the canal open all winter long.
 This method of obtaining water power or flowing water in winter time is extremely simple, yet it is so effective that understand the United States government is now investigating it with view to adopting it. Secretary Lane is talking strongly of electrifyiRg the railroads to be built in Alaska, and if this is done, some method, not costly but effective, will have te be adopted to furnish water power in winter. Miners and others generally should profit by Boyle's clever dis covery and they are already doing so on the upper Yukon. The say ing of fuel has also cut the prices of lights and power at Dawsoa dur ing the winter months"

WALKER AND BOYLE
 AGAINST THE BILL

Register c. B. Walker and Reeeiv- CT F. A. Boyle of the Juneau Lana office have wired Commissioner Clay Tallman, of the General Land office, informing him that public opinion in Alaska favors the defeat of the Johnson bill suspending the assess ment work requirement. on mining claims.
 Commissioner Tallman, to whom the Johnson bill was referred for a report, asked the opinion of Gov. J. F. A Strong, Register c. B. Walker and Receiver F. A. Boyle as to the merit or necessity for it's passage. All three of the officials opposed the passage.
 The telegram from Register Walk CT and Receiver Boyle, signed jointly, was as follows:
 Your telegram of September l5' regarding bills providing that as- sessment work on mining claims be suspended; general inquiry here confirms opinion that general sen' timent favors defeat of bills. Con ditions here are normal. Effect of European war not appreciable. Bills believed to be plan of nonresident owners to avoid assessment work. v -Juneau EmpiTe.
