line from the postofice OF one Of the
larger cities. His New Jersey land is
144 acres OF gardens and truck, all
highly improved and cultivated. with
buildings and nearly 1000 bearing
trees. The land lies within twenty
minutes Of the Philadelphia, Pa, post
Office. This man paid taxes on both
properties in 1915 as follows: On the
New Jersey land $142, or less than 81
per acre; on the Washington land
$500, or more than $40 per acre. New
Jersey, well-populated, crowded with
industries, with the greatest markets
and seaports OF the country close at
hand, simply isn't wasting the money
on government that is wasted in Wash
ipgton. New Jersey hasn't all the new
tangled experiments in government
that this state has adopted, no costly
commission machinery and over
crowded pay-rolls. But its people do
tremendously more business than the
people Of Washington, and year in and
year out are very much more prosper
Gus. The experience cited is an actual
fact and doubtless can be duplicated
by other citizens OF Washington who
own property in other states.

The taxpayers Business

The president has repeatedly said
that it is none of our business who the
Mexicans choose for ruler nor how
they choose him. He has almost as
repeatedly made it his business by tell
ing the Mexicans who they shall not
have, and by recognizing favorite
from among the rival bandits who have
appeared to rule in that country. 1t is
n corollary OF the presidents declara-
tons, If not Of his policy, that it is
none OF our business how any recog-
nized ruler in Mexico conducts him
self. Yet a situation is arising wherein
every American who pays taxes is en-
titled to feel that it is very much his
business-this condition Of affairs in
Mexico. The cost OF maintaining the
troops on the Mexican border is mount
at an alarming rate, and a bond issue
is proposed to pay for it. This would
bind posterity to an annual expense
for what is admittedly a mere tenn
porary expedient. It would be far
better to spend lite more money,
clean up Mexico and free the future of
any menace from that quarter. than az to
drag on with a policy so unproductive
OF results and so fertile in expense.

Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane are re-
ported by the American Federation Of
Labor among the cities in which Fed
eral Employees Unions have recently
been organized. These unions, which
now come under the jurisdiction Of
Samuel Gompers and his associates,
are made up largely of government
civil service employees. This union
ization is not permitted among federal
employees located at the national capt.
tai, and there is a growing feeling
that it should not be permitted else
where. An embarrassing situation
might arise at any time if these en-
ployes were put to a test OF loyalty
as between the government, which
pays them, and the labor federation
which now assumes to control their
actions.

The little coterie OF Seattle politi-
clans who have been at work for some
time on a program for what they call
'liberalizing'' the Republican party,
find good deal OF the wind taken out
Of their sails by the inaugural address
and message of Governor Lister. The
Democratic executive comes out
strongly for most of the things that
the liberalizers had planned to put
into the Republican program. Repub-
licans throughout the state have not
been paying much attention to the eff
forts OF the little Seattle crowd to keep
the political pot boiling. Although a
great deal OF interest attaches to what
the legislature is doing and proposing
to do, the majority Of the people OF
the state are content to let partisan
politics rest for a while. Chairman
Fred G. Harper OF the Republican state
central committee, who is not party to
the 'liberalizing" schemes, has opened
headquarters in the L. c. Smith build
ing, Seattle, to handle correspondence
and take care Of such organization
work as may be necessary from time
TO time, but it is not likely that any
effort to create burning issues" will
be made for some time to came.

The bill to reduce the rate of inter
est on delinquent taxes, drafted by
Seattle real estate operators, has been
introduced in the legislature, and
active work has begun to push it
through at the present session. A cut
from IS per cent to per cent is pro-
posed, and it is claimed that this
reduction will encourage the purchase
Of land within the state both for i'm
provement and investment. But the
plan is viewed with serious doubts by
many taxpayers and the sentiment OF
those officials who have charge OF
state, county and city finances is said
to be almost unanimous against the
reduction. It is pointed out that tax
payers nowadays borrow money from
the banks at 7 and 8 per cent and pay
their taxes rather than risk the IS
per cent penalty, and it is argued
that they will not borrow at the banks
if they have to pay only 8 per cent
on delinquent taxes. The inevitable
result will be to put the state, counties
and cities to the necessity OF paying
their obligations in Understanding
warrants, and the rate Of taxation will
have to be corespondingly increased
to pay the interest on the warrants.
II is apparent that there is good deal
to be said on both sides of the ques-
ton, and there is general hope that
the Legislature will not allow itself to
be rushed into action without very
careful consideration. s 2yi 49,

~PACIFISTS ONCE
MILITANTS NOW

No one can doubt and few will
criticize the courage of those mem
bers of the Senate and House who
voted against the resolution declaring
a state of war with Germany to exist.
They subjected themselves to cruel
taunts. to misconstruction of their
motives, perhaps to political or per-
sonal danger. That their vote was in
accordance with their convictions is
not open to question; and their judg-
ment, if mistaken. must be determined
by the course of events.
We are confident that their OPPOSE
ton to the war ended with their vote,
and hat no members of either branch
of Congress will be more ready than
they to carry forward the plans of the
country for bringing the conflict t o a
successful end.
At any rate, the time for debate has
passed; the time for action has come.
The country and the Congress have
something better to do than the i'm
putting of motives to anyone; there
are armies to be raised and provis-
Toned, there are taxes to be devised
and applied, there is fighting to be
done and preparation to be made for
it. These are tasks which will fill the
time of patriots. whether they sit in
Congress OF serve in the field or work
in munition factories. The manner in
which each fulflls his task from this
day forward should be the STANDARD
of judgment. The same courage which
led Senators and Representatives to
vote against the wal when wal was 10
the air will impel them to their ut
most effort to sustain war now that
war has become a reality.

CONGRESS- AND THE WAR

Congress alone had power to de-
clare war, and the power was exer-
cised after deliberate consideration.
Congress alone has power To provide
the men and money necessary to
carry on the war. The Army and
Navy departments estimate that il
will take from $500. $1,000 to ST.
600. 900, 900 to start the war, and it is
probable that not less than 10,000,-
100000 will be spent before the war
is ended. 1t is important, therefore,
that Congress shall appoint a special
joint committee to deal particularly
with the conduct of the war-to advise
with the President and his Cabinet
regarding policies. so hat with the
greatest economy of men and money
the war may be brought most speed
lily to an end. Such a committee was
appointed during the Civil War tc
confer with President Lincoln, anC
Congress should cooperate in a SINH
lar manner now.
