Richard G.. l.. MOncure.

The Office force of Richard C. L..
Moncure. collector of Internal revenue
for the Eastern District of Virginia. is
unusually busy these days issuing tax
stamps to regular and special taxpay-
ers. Thecs stamps must, under the law,
be purchased within the month of June
and posted in the place OF business Of
the purchasers previous TO July I. Many
of tho taxpayers are delaying until tho
last moment to attend to this business.
and the consequence is that revenue
people are about the busiest people in
the city right now.
The collections yesterday amounted
TO 43,253.62, almost half Of this amount
representing income taxes.

\ FOOLISH BILL

Senator Metcalf has introduced a
bill in The legislature making the state
agricultural commissioner the head
OF the farm development bureau to
cooperate with counties and the
nation.
The agricultural interests of this
state can be safeguarded and deyel-
oped in three ways:
!, BY strict enforcement of the
laws, which experience has proved
are necessary to protect those en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits.
BY experimenting to discover
better methods Of farming and more
efficient remedies for crop pests and
animal diseases.
D. by educating the farmers, or
thardlsts and live stock men along
the results of these experiments.
The duties of the state depart
ment OF agriculture are clearly set
lorth in the law creating il. which

FOOTBALL SONG FOR THE
u. OF W.

The University of Washington
should adopt as its football song that
popular classic, II Don't Want to
Play in Your Back Yard. Not only
LAS the tune a good swing. but the
words are extremely appropriate to
the attitude assumed by the uniyer-
sity football coach and manager.
Gilmour Dobie is known as
canny Scot, and a lawyer. He is
probably also student of psychoI-
ogy, for he evidently fully appreci-
ates the advantage to any team of
playing on its home grounds before
an enthusiastic crowd of rooters. For
several years it has been the policy
OF the university athletic manage
ment TO insist that all its important
football games be played either at
Seattle or at some neutral point. \
proposition from W. $. {. for a two
years contract one game to be
played in Pullman, the other in Sc
attic, with an equal cash guarantee
Tor each game is denounced as I'M
reasonable by the university manage
ment. Just where the lack of reason
lies is not apparent to the average
man. but seemingly the university
has discovered it in the demand that
one game he played in Pullman, for
Dobie has signilied his willingness to
accept the proposition if one game is
played in Spokane and the other in
Seattle. The university has refused
as unreasonable similar PROPOSE
tion from O. A. c. for two years
contract one game to be at Sc
attic the other at Corvallis. and in
sists that Portland be substituted
for Corvallis II has accepted sim
liar two-years contract with Whit
man, but has refused one to Idaho
Why?
This attitude of the athletic man
agement of the university is as un-
sportsmanlike as it is unfair and
shows reprehensibla desire to win
AT any cost. That the playing of
games on the home grounds has been
an important factor in the victorious
record OF the l. OF W. teams is indi-
Gated by the fact that in 1913. when
the game with the U. of O. was
played in Portland the score was ex-
ceedingly close and last year the
game with o. A. c. played at Albany
resulted in nothing to nothing
score.
The y. OF W, has enough edge over
every other of the conference teams,
without the further advantage OF
playing all its games at horne or on
neutral grounds.
In the first place, It has a larger
student body from which to pick q
team than any of the other institu
lions. Its catalogue and its faculty
coneede this TO be fact in theil
modest claims.
In the second place. it has tn,
most successful coach in the confer
ence, as Mr.. Dobie and his friend,
bashfully admit.
In the third place. 1t attracts NOR,

cally belong? Clearly to the Expert
ment Station, rather than TO the adj
ministrative branch
Senator Metcalfs plan is not only
illogical. but it is in conflict with
the regulations of the national gov
eminent, which provide that the
funds appropriated for this work in
cooperation with the states and
counties shall be expended under
direction OF the agricultural colleges.
The bill should be indefinitely
postponed.

to go to the city is that they want
an income Of their own? The son
OF the average farmer receives either
an income or salary when he reaches
his majority, and in most cases is
given an opportunity of earning be-
fore that time, while the daughter.
seldom more than sufficient to pay
for her clothing, her dentist and
doctor bills. We are as ambitious
as our brothers, and are as anxious
to provide for the future as they are.
Won't you please give us an ed
itorial on the following: If girl
works as hard in proportion to her
strength as her brother, how should
her income compare with his? 1t is
often suggested that she grow veg
