new GOVERNOR
TELLS HIS PLANS
Continued from Page One, !,

Regarding taxation, the
new Governor had this to say:
Taxation is the highest at
tribute of sovereignty, the
most responsible prerogative
of the state, the exercise of
which, therefore, should be
guided by the most scrupulous
concern for justice. equity
and equality in the distribu-
ton of the burden which it inn
poses. The revenues of the
state are inadequate to its nee
essary expenditures, and while
this deficit may be diminished
by material reductions in the
cost Of administration, and
while certain economies may
be practiced, that will affect a
material saving, your atten-
ton to which will be specih-
cally called in special mes
sage, yet these economies will
not avail to meet the gap be-
tween revenues and expenses;
and a way to provide larger
revenues must be found with
out the imposition Of any un-
due burden upon industry.
That is the great problem which
confronts this legislature upon the
threshold of its deliberations. We
must not longer go ON borrowing
money for current expenses of govern
ment, as has been the custom for the
past ten years. a million and a quar-
ter dollars worth of bonds having been
issued only two years ago to meet
such obligations. Neither should the
tax levy be increased The remedy
| lies in complete revision of our
wholefiscal system under which, as at
present operating, the tax burden is
not only not equal and uniform, as pro-
vided in the constitution, but falls
heaviest on those least able to bear it,
and in its imposition is grossly unjust,
unequal and inequitable. The State
Iof Mississippi suffers under the most
anomalous, paroxical and illogical tax
system ever devised by a. enlighten-
Led government because. perhaps, no
rorher government ans r4ars aars
world deliberately renounces all au-
thority, control or supervision, even,
in the matter of providing it's own
revenues, for its own support as does
Mississippi 1t not only renounces
and alienates the control of its own
alimony, but places that control in the
hands of eighty different bodies whose
primary motive and interest it is, as
freely declared by many of them, to
Igive the state as small part as pos
sible of the taxes that are gathered.
And So well is this purpose accom-
lplished, in many cases, that the state
returns to the county for school pur-
poses alone more money than is paid
by the county into the state treasury
for all purposes of government. Eighty
different boards of supervisors fix
eighty different bases of assessment
the primary motive of each of which is
to pay into the state treasury as lit
tie money as possible.
Our whole tax method needs refor.
nation to remove the gross inequaIi
ties and inequities that prevail

SUGGESTS CHANGES
IN STATE REVENUE
CLASSIFIED PROPERTY AND IN
COME TAX ARE PROPOSED
BY DIR. CUSTIS.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
Oct. "a classified property tax and
state income tax are proposed as
possible substitutes for the present
method of raising revenues in Wash
ington in a book on 1.-THE State Tax
System" by DR.. Vanderfeer Gusts, as
sociate professor of economics in the
University of Washington.
The treatise, Said to be the first
complete scientific report on the pres
ent taxation methods of the state.
presents a discussion Of the funda-
mental principles underlying taxa
ton. It deals also with the special
divisions of taxation in Washington.
The final chapter sets forth some of
the reforms tried in other states and
suggests adaptations which might be
acceptable to this state.
DR.. Custis believes that some sort
of change is to come soon, and that
it is of great Importance for the
voters to know along what lines this
change should be made. He has at
tempted in his work, he writes, to
show what the present system is and
why a change is needed, and to sug-
gest some possibilities for improve
ment. He makes no attempt, how
ever, to set forth satisfactory sys-
tenn of taxation to be substituted bod
lily for the present method.
In suggesting that classification
of property for the purposes of taxa
ton might be used, he remarks that
1t is one of the most widely favored
plans in other parts of the country.
He points out that II such q tax is
adopted it will be well to begin with
fairly simple classification. In any
form It would be big step forward,
he thinks, and would not be violent
In character. 1t would require the
adoption Of no new or unfamiliar
methods, and in the order of evolu-
ton further steps could be taken from
the ground gained.
DR.. Custis' book is published in
paper cover by the University OF
Washington Extension Division, and
may be had for IS cents, charge
made to cover cost of printing and
editing.

.F|TzHENRY BAGS YOUNG
BUFFALO" IN 0LYMP|CS
Surveyor General Kills Famous
Mountain Goat Sought by
Many Hunters.

Survey General e. A. FitzHenry
returned to Olympia this week from
two weeks vacation in the Olympic
mountains, and is the proud possess
or of the hide and head of the famous
mountain goat known throughout the
peninsula as young Buffalo" The
animal was killed by Mr.. FitzHenry
last Friday, and just about the time
he had given up all hope of bagging
any game worth while and was to re-
turn to his duties at Olympia.
Young Buffalo" has been sought
after and hunted by nearly every
nimrod who visited the Olympics this
summer, and while wounded several
times he always managed to escape
to the mountain Businesses and there
elude his pursuers. Friday morning
Mr.. FitzHenry virtually stumbled
upon the famous goat, and says be
does not remember ever before expe-
riencing such a tough animal. II

GOVERNOR URGES STATE
TO OBSERVE DAIRY DAY
Endorses Plan Of Leaders Of This In
dustry to Promote Develop
ment.

Consistent with the established
policy Of the administration to en-
courage every worthy industry of the
state, Governor Lister has given en-
thusiastic endorsement to the idea Of
observing Saturday, October Z, as
Dairy Day.
In a statement issued on the 3rd
Governor Lister said, in part: Next
Saturday, October z. is to be observed
as Dairy Day. The idea has been
originated by a central bureau repre-
senting the dairymen of the state
and the manufacturers of dairy prod
ucts, primarily to stimulate their
business. 1t has SO many commenda-
tory features, however, that feel 1t
merits careful attention from all citi-
zens of the state.
milk has for centuries been con-
sidered one of the most nutritive of
foods. It's products are standard on
the table of every household. They
are not luxuries but rather they are
necessities. In studying conditions,
however, dairymen and dairy product
manufacturers of the state have
found that the present consumption
of these articles in tt . state of Wash
ington is below that of the United
States as whole. They have demon
strated that a moro extensive use Of
dairy products will result in better
and more economical living. With
increase in population and the cont
ing in of better methods, dairying
has gone rapidly ahead until it is now
one of the leading branches of agri-
cultural life. Those engaged in the
industry, however, have found need
for more substantial market and to
create this market they have under
taken a campaign of education, of
which the observance of next Satur-
day is part.
IT feel that the citizens of Washing
ton can do themselves genuine serv-
ice and at the same time greatly as
sist in developing their state by maxi
ing a more extensive use Of the dairy
products, and l am pleased to com
mend the plan for Dairy Day and to
urge it's observance"

Northern Pacific Sues County.

On the ground that the towns of
Bucoda and Tenino illegally levied
more than 10 mills, the tax limit, the
Northern Pacific railway filed suit
against the county in the local supe-
rior court this week, asking for the
return of $398.96. The railroad al
leges that Bucoda's levy was IL mills
and Tenino's 1875 mills. An agent
of the company first offered to pay
the taxes on 10-mill basis, but be-
ing refused, paid the full amount
under protest and petitioned to the
county commissioners last April for
redress. The commissioners refused
to override the action of the town
authorities.

required seven shots from Mr.. Fitz-
Henry's rifle to finally put the goat
hors do combat, and up to the last
shot the animal was up and coming,
showing a fierceness seldom demon
strated by mountain goats.
