linquent taxes themselves and not let

urers have followed a long-established
practice of turning delinquent taxes
over to some outside person. to collect
on the percentage basis.

Honor Men" DO Mansion Work.

Coast newspapers and magazines
are paying marked attention to the
novel solution of the domestic help
problem at the executive mansion
which has been carried out for more
than two years past by Governor
Lister, who has used convicts for all
mansion work, exacting from each
man his "word of honor" to perform
his tasks faithfully and make no
attempt to escape. Not one man has
yet broken his word, and, with the
exception of two men found untitled
for the work, every man has re-
manned hard at work at the mansion
until the completion of his specified
term of service, has left with a full
pardon in his pocket and has since
made good" on the outside.

court may at times get slightly of
the constitutional reservation, but
this coroners adjustment freak was
entirely too far distant from its base
to be reached by the most sympa-
thetic consideration. So the supreme
court killed the freak and resurrect-
ed the coroners. Just what the ex-
pertinent is to cost the state cannot
now be calculated, but as no coroner
victim of the freak has ever been out
of Office and is now entitled to per-
quisites II not to salary, the sum is
likely to be interesting even to people
who have nothing to do but pay
taxes and ride in automobiles.

Sample Of Freak Legislation.
(Skagit Co. Times,)

1t is common practice for Wash
ington people and Washington news
papers to decry freak legislation
wherever or by whomsoever perpe-
trated. But If there has been any
place on earth which has or can out
do Washington's freakishness in leg
islative stuff it would be some COM
fort to have it pointed out. In this
state the constitution does not count
for nearly 80 much with the average
legislator as does the establishment
OF q reputation by the preparation
of some freak law. In the legisla-
ture Of 1913 some unconstitutional
cuss worked through a freak which
abolished the Office of coroner in GER
tain counties of the state and re-
tanned that Office in other counties
where the essential fat was liable to
be the thickest. The state supreme
