The total taxes paid in Grays Harbor
county in 1914, for state, county

amounted to 81 ,2s2, 3e9.5o,' and for 1915
81, 1863. 44S.3o, an increase Of ST 07S.so

to higher municipal levies, the taxes

s113,115.3o.

$40 IS.
Roads and bridges cost 1871 $3.50
in 1914, and 1885 ,o91.S5 IN 1915. an
increase Of $13,49325.
The cost Of state and county govern
ments was reduced in 1915. when
compared with the previous year. the
figures being. for 1914. for state uses
$s6 7o21o. and for 1915. $52.s3s.s7, q

PREPARING FOR A SCIENTIFIC
TARIFF.

The Ways and Means committee of
the House of Representatives in Wash
ington has now before it bill pro-
viding for non-partisan tariff COM
mission, with a view of furnishing a
scheme of tariff that will not only be
scientific but will take that issue for
ever out of politics, and make posi-
Bile the conduct of a presidential cam
paign without the economic disturb
ances that prevail under the present
system.
Under the proposed law the shackles
of politics will be stricken from the
tariff issue, an issue that has been
exceedingly prolific of governmental
corruption for more than a genera
ton. 1t should be borne in mind that
the establishment of the nOn-partisan
tariff commission does not carry with
it the idea of making tariff schedules
higher, more than it also represents
the counter proposition of making tar
if rates lower. 1t is not a device for
either high or low tariff, but means
to ascertain what specific rates should
be. whether more or less, as condi-
lions prescribe. In practice, the labors
of the commission would undoubtedly
result in the lowering Of some sched-
ules, increase of some others, on the
one hand keeping in view encourage
ment of our industries and the safe
guarding of native enterprise and its
millions of wage earners from. being
floored by the inroads of the pauper
wage scales of Europe-on the other,
prevention of tariff becoming a cloak
for monopoly and special privilege.
The requirements as between higher
and lower tariff should be measured
primarily by the difference between
the low wages of labor in Europe and
the wage for labor here, a sufficient
scale being maintained to safeguard
the American laborer against cheap
labor abroad. Not high, not low, tariff,
for high or low tariffs sake, but ad-
justment of tariff schedules, be they
higher or lower, for the good of the
whole people, is the goal of the cam
paign for non-political tariff commits

THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE

With the Republican national con-
vention less than two weeks off, the
situation seems to be largely in the
hands of Roosevelt, Notwithstanding
the Oregon landslide for Hughes last
week. The result in Oregon chirped
I'D the anti-Roosevelt forces for
time. but the virtual acceptance by
the colonel the other day of the nomi-
nation, rendered him by former Score
tary Of the Navy Myers on behalf OF
number of New York delegates,
places him for the first time in the
list of avowed candidates before the
Republican convention.
In addition to the strong following
he will have in that convention,
Roosevelt holds the whip hand not
only over his competitors in the field,
but over the reactionary element OF
that party as WELL He is, in posi-
ton to demand the Republican nomi-
nation. and say to his opponents "Come
to Me, gentlemen, unless you wish the
lesson of 1912 repeated"
The nomination might go to Hughes
if he would quit the supreme bench,
prior to the convention, announce him.

on the issues of the day, but not other
wise, unless he should receive the
Roosevelt support, contingency that
may arise should the colonel become
convinced of the impossibility of de-
feating Wilson in November.

be the presidential nominee. Hence
according to the Seattle Star, he is
to go into the discard in favor OF
J. A. Chilberg, a Seattle banker, who
knows all the prosperity songs and

Humphrey if true, for he certainly tried
his best to retain his hold upon the
reactionaries who stood by him fol
fourteen years.

THE BIG CIRCUS COMING!

1t is indeed good news, the an
nouncement that John Robinson's Ten
Big Shows will appear in Aberdeen,
Friday, June 2.
Few circuses have secured such a
strong hold on public favor as has
John Robinson's Ten Big Shows and
its advent will be awaited with thor
ough interest.
The advance press agent has been
in town and he declares that the
John Robinson's Ten Big Shows dis
play includes every possible kind and
species Of circus act. No matter what
your arenic taste or preference may be,
declares the aforesaid press agent. you
will find plenty to interest, astonish
and edify you in John Robinson's Ten
Big Shows.
He further decares, There are thrill
ing, blood-curdling aerial acts, in which
you every moment expect to see the
performer plunged to death; artistic
and difficult equestrian performances;
incredible athletic and acrobatic acts;
phenomenal wild animal exhibitions;
wild chariot, jockey and hurdle races,
and funny frolics by the clowns. The
quantity and quality of the features
really stagger human comprehension.
It matters not how big these shows
may have been in years gone by,
this season they are even larger,
grander and better"
