JUDGES
SLAYER
ESCAPES

Chester Thompson, who was
found criminally insane by a Ia
coma jury in 1905, following the
murder of Judge @. Mead Emery
at Seattle, escaped from the Medi-
cal Lake insane asylum near Spo-
kane Wednesday afternoon and al
last reports had not been recap
tured
Four other patients escaped
with Thompson, one of them,
Thomas Ferguson, being captured
later in the day. The men escaped
while exercising in the yard.
Thompson's triai in Tacoma was
one Of the sensations of a decade.
Having murdered the father of his
sweetheart because Of fancied
grievance, the youth was defended
by his own father, VIII H. Thomr-
son, brilliant Seattie attorney.
After long trial, in which the
father made a plea that his SON. s
mentality had been deranged, a
jury found the young murderer
criminally insane. He was held
at the state asylum for a time, re-
leased when his mind showed an
improvement and after relapse
was sent to Medical Lake.

move city officials at time like
this to retrench on local matters
and give the government a chance
to prosecute the war and save us
a. q nation. But instead four
councilmen enter on q grab game
in keeping with the mad scram-
BILE that seems to be animating
almost all In authority these days
in both official and private life.
1.-THE spirit of this move is
shown in raising salaries of GER
tain heads of departments, then
adding assistants to lessen their
labors. The little fellow In the
city service who is doing the
actual work for the people-he
gets no raise in this boost, but the
we'll paid head now getting suffi-
cient for all actual needs in life
receives a 25 per cent increase In
pay.

that citizens will 60 to court to
try to stop this tax grab, but why

their servants to give them a
square deal. Apparently the tax
payers have forgotten that 'eter-
nal vigilance is the price of lib
erty,' and have not been alert in
demanding from their servants the
service to which they are entitled.
In times like these when men are
busy and war talk is exciting and
the world moves rapidly the peo-
pie are prone to overlook NUM-
cipal matters and let things drift
until unbearable burdens at last
cause them to awaken to the dan
gers that threaten them. Had the
voice of the common people been
heard in the council chamber We'd
nesday the pleas of self interest
would have been stifled and the
four members who needed them
would not have dared to put thru
the program they did to soak the
citizens for three extra mills of
taxes above the charter limit.

MAYOR RAISES HOWL
ABOUT CITY BUDGET

Protesting that other members
of the city council had boosted the
city budget for 1918 arbitrarily,
and that there was no justification
for an 18-mill tax levy for city
expenses next year. Mayor Faw-
cett issued q signed statement
Thursday.
Fawcett declares that the city
should have retrenched In Its
work of preparing the budget in
stead OF increasing salaries of
heads of departments. and MAX
ing appropriations for expense
that could have been avoided.
His statement follows:
THE council fixed the tax levy
at Is mills-the highest tax ever
put against the people of Tacoma.
"The charter limits municipal
taxes to 10 mills, but in violation
of the charter spirit and over my
protests and against my veto,
four members stood together in
reciprocal back-scratching proc
ess, boosted salaries of already
well-paid heads of departments,
added. more heads and more en-
ployesl for the people to pay, gave
away the public funds and entered
on a regime OF wanton extrava-
gance never even dreamed of in
the old days when official graft
and POPULATION was the expected
order in public affairs. Yet every
one of these councilmen when
elected pledged himself to strict
economy and the reduction Of
taxes and expenditures.
This tax levy comes on the
heels of a county tax boost and
when the exigencies of war have
caused the federal government to
enter on a tax program that bids
fair to squeeze the last penny out
Of the common people for the ne
cessities and comforts of life.

that the conclusions were. false.
The case probably will go to
