accordingly. The figures sworn
to before the public service COM
mission, cannot be used by the
assessor In slamming on the
taxes.
BY no means. The corpora
ton must submit an entirely new
set of figures to our county as
SCISSORS. The assessor, In spite
of the fact that a valuation al
ready has been made, must waste
the taxpayers money in making
new valuation and assessment.
Had Hunch, Maybe.
The property valuation sub
mitted by the company to the as
SCISSOR for taxation is Just as ex-
tremely low as that submitted to
the public service commission for
rate making is extremely bulky
with padding.
Something must have turned
over at the state capital between
1911 and 1913. Perhaps the
phone company had a bunch the
rate hearing was coming up be-
fore long. 1t is certain the COM
pany didn't like the looks of the
original law of 1911, which said:
"When the commission
shall have valued the prop
erty of any public service
company nothing less than
the market value SO found
by the commission shall he
taken as true value of the
property of such company
used for the public convent
ence for the purpose of as
sessment and taxation"
SO at the hearing in the Fed
eral building the phone company
is taking unto itself property by
the millions. At least one mil
lion of this 1t says can't be
found. Another million ii says
is attached to its telephone poles.
And SO on, until they have val
ued their property, for the pur-
pose OF making rates, at $780,
100000 more than the state en-
gineers value 1t.
Tax this $10.0o0.00o. No
chance!
The legislators of 1913 put up
a fence to hide behind when IL
comes to taxation.
Now If the company could only
bluff Chairman Reynolds and
the rest of the public service
commission, we pioneers would
have to pay.
But the public service commits
sion isn't going to be buncoed.

NEW YORK, Feb. T.
Rescued from weeks of ter
rible slavery, pretty 18-year-
old Marie Klein, daughter of
Pastor Charles Klein of the
Bethany Reformed church,
told today how she had been
kidnapped and auctioned,
nude, to a gang of lustful
brutes.
Missing since Dec. 10, she
had been held i'm an Italian
colony ut Williamsburg. Her
story of orgies there shocked
even hardened police author
tiles.
Jimmy Naples dragged me
from our doorway on the after
noon of Dec. 49," she said. "He
showed me a revolver and threat
ened to kill me if l tried tC
escape.
Then he forced me to TAKE
800 worth of jewels and $35 il
cash from my parents, after which
he drove me to a house in the
Italian colony at Williamsburg
locked me in a room and tool
away my clothes.
"At a Christmas ball of the col

Solved-the mystery of
the missing millions!
No, we haven't found all
those intangible bits of
property of the Pacific
which the company says it
knows It owns but just can't
locate.
Nor have we discovered
the gold trimmings or some
thing which, according to
the figures of he phone
company to the public serv-
fee commission, have more
than doubled the price of
telephone poles In the last
six years.
But though we have not found
the missing telephone millions
land 1t is very likely that nobody
ever Will the mystery has been
cleared. The clue was found in
a dry old law book (Chap. 1872,
House Bill No. 52S) in para
graph of a law passed by that
notorious legislature of ours
which sat in the halls of Olympia
in the year 1913.
The paragraph was stuck away
in an insignificant, out-of-the-
way place where nobody would
be likely to find it, except those
who had 1t put therein case OF
emergency.
Here's what 1t says-that the
valuations of corporations prop
erty, as made by the commission,
shall be admissible in evidence
in any action, proceeding OF
hearing, EXCEPTING WITH
RESPECT TO MATTERS OF
ASSESSMENT AND TAXA
TON"
Get 1t? It's made to order
for the very purpose of allowing
this telephone company of TAX
ing Just as much cash out of It's
patrons pockets as it thinks 1t
can get away with.
Just Pure Myth.
That missing million dollars
worth of property which the
company says 1t owns, and that
so-called million dollar jump in
the price of telephone poles new
err have been, never are and new
er shall be, world without end.
The little joker, or rider, OF
whatever you may call 1t, in the
public service law amendment OF
1918, encourages corporation
such as the phone company to
slap on figures by the dozens in
the valuation of it's property be-
fore the public service commits
sion Ia order to get the very
highest rates possible from III
patrons.
For the law protects them. II

Where Do You
Stand on Rates.
Mr.. Governor?

IAN OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR)
Gov Ernest Lister:-We are not addressing
this note to you in any spirit of complaint We
know you are very busy man these days,
but
We want to ask you this:
Why aren't you joining with us folks in
fighting to get back the rightful tourist travel
to our northwest cities, of which the southern
railroads have been allowed to rob us by un-
just discriminatory passenger rates?
+. We are in the fight, every one of us-hotel
men, shipping men, business mon, auto clubs,
commercial organizations. All-except that
one degenerated, dying by inches Seattle
Chamber of Commerce. And that one can't
get in because it's patched breeches are weight
ed down to the runboards with railroad money
Is there any reason, Mr.. Governor, why you,
as the chosen leader of the folks of Washing
ton, should not take an active leadership in
/, this fight?
Surely you are too wise to be buffaloed by
sthe wheedling, lying complaints of the prize
double crossers representing the Seattle Cham
beraof Commerce.
