\ WORTHWHILE CONTEST

The farm women OF this state now
have an opportunity to participate in
a really worthwhile competition. the
planning of convenient farm homes.
This contest has been inaugurated by
the State College of WASHINGTON.
with the American Institute of Ar
chitects cooperating. with the OBJ
lect OF securing the best ideas for the
arrangement of farm houses. from
those who know most about the prob
lem, the women who live in and take
care of them.
One of the biggest drawbacks in
rural life is the hard work devolving
upon the wives and daughters Of
farmers, and one of the chief rea-
sons which makes necessary this
hard work is the inconvenient ar
rangement of many farm houses
which entails many needless steps
and the waste of much valuable
time.
" iip 10 llNillS UI mas

this contest and has the opportunity
not only TO win handsome prize but
also to render a very valuable serv-
ice to the farm women of the state.
by designing rural home which en-
bodies maximum of convenient ar
rangement and will reduce the work
OF housekeeping to a minimum.
Such plans, designed by women who
know by actual experience what sort
OF houses are needed and what COM
mon errors of arrangement should
be avoided, will meet a real need and
contribute much toward tightening
the drudgery of homework on the
farm.
The conception and object of the
contest are highly eommendable and
the results will be gratifying and
valuable. il the farm women will
take advantage OF the opportunity to
express their ideas by designing the
Kind OF house they would like to live

TOO MANY TAN EATERS

If the taXeater pays his bills next
Year we will have to dig up almost
$73,000,000 in the state of Washing
ton. Many millions of this repre-
sents deficits carried forward from
the preceding year, and all because
we have no intelligent method OF
compulsory budget making nor any
personal liability act running against
| the personal assets and official bond
Of the officer who allows his budgets
to be oyerdrawn.
The requirements of good govern
ment have not materially increased.
We could, if we would, get along
swimmingly with no more govern
ment than we had, say in 1904 To
be sure we were denied the benefit
of direct primaries then and also OF
the initiative and referendum and
the imperative mandate, now known
under the less mouth-filling name Of
the recall. We did not have the multi
plicity of functions, the boards, COM
missions, clerks, stenographers, etc,
etc, then that we have now, but we
did carry on the public business, kept
the peace and preserved the physical
safety and health of the people Their
as efficiently and as satisfactorily as
now.
The increased cost of government
is not due to increased necessity for
more government but to swollen pay
rolls and inefficiency, waste and ex-
trayagance in the administration of
public office.
The civil service lists of the feder-
al government show that one person
jr every 90 of our population is en-
trenched for life in some sort of
federal clerkship. There are in office
in this country, from the national
capital to the township and school
district, an army constituting one in
seven Of the entire population of the
country.
Yet we go on supporting these
crafty political mendicants, and they
in turn importune us constantly to
increase the army of political de-
pendents. They devise boards, COM
missions and other bodies. salaried,
OF course. with salared clerkships
and secretarial positions and con-
tinue to make increased demands
upon the people who pay the taxes.
The taxpayers haven't even the
ambition to go to the polls and enter
protest. If they had we would soon
be doing government by budget in
stead of by guess and insisting at
the same time that any official who
exceeded his budget allowance did it
at his own or his bondsmen's ex-
pense.
A budget law, hard and inflexible
and personal liability statute,
equally inflexible, will reduce the
costs of government, but it is doubt
full if any other or less drastic meas
ure will do it. We will have to make
war on the taxeaters or they will get
us in the end Washington State

THE POLL TAN LAW

Strong pressure is being brought
TO bear on Governor Hart to veto the
poll tax law passed at the recent
session of the legislature with an
emergency clause attached. This is
an antiquated and unpopular system
Of raising revenue, aside from the
very Objectionable feature of the
bill which provides for taxing the eX-
service men to help pay the bonus
voted them by the people of the
state.
In the first place it will impose an
additional burden of taxation upon
all the men and women between the
ages of 81 and so, who own or are
paying for homes; it will hit the
girl clerks and workers whose pay
is low at the best the wage earn
ers in the country who are hard
pressed to support their families,
while many of the unmarried, nom
taxpaying and non-working transients
in the cities will be able to evade
paying.
In the second place the collecting
of the tax will prove difficult and eX-
pensive. Regarding this objection to
the law, J. r Ruply of Charleston,
formerly county commissioner OF
Whitman county and prominent citi-
zen of Pullman, offers the following
pertinent comments, based on careful
observation:
my experience with the collection
of a road poll tax of 81. which we
had some years ago, was such that !
made up my mind that poll tax is
a hard and difficult tax to collect
and is very obnoxious to many peo-
pie | kept track of the expense
and found that it took from 20 to
35 per cent of the collections to pay
the collectors. When the tax is 50,
of course, it should not take such a
high per cent to collect it. Even
fairly intelligent men did not appear
to want to understand the law and
would argue about the constitution
atty of the act and often encouraged
their hired men not to pay it.
In many cases the collectors found
men out of employment or having
sickness or other trouble at home
Legally, this does not excuse them.
hut what can you do in such case?
The idea of a road poll tax was,
presume, to make everybody pay
something toward the expenses of
the county, but my experience at
that time was that the expense in
CURED was more than the amount
collected from so-cailed transients
and others whose names did not ap-
pear on the tax rolls So it would
have been just as we'll TO have levied
little higher tax on property.
It is at the best an unsatisfactory tax
to collect"
Mr.. Ruply's criticisms are well
founded. The poll tax will not hit
nearly as large a per cent of the
non-taxpayers as of those who are al
ready paying taxes to the limit of
their ability. 1t will increase rath-
er than tighten the burden of the lat
ter The bill never should have
passed and, if it goes into effect, pub
lie sentiment is almost certain to
force its repeal at the next session
of the legislature
