FavOritism Has No Chance.

The Department Of Conservation
and Development will not accept ten
ders of land for selection in working
out Washington's new land settlement
program unless they have been filed
by Sept. |. Chlil man w. d. More

erted in favor of different tracts of
fered the state, Director Scott points
out that this is Washngton's first ex-
pertinent in land settlement work and
that the most favorable conditions,
possible to provide should surround
the farmers to be located on the lands
chosen.
Eastern Washington obtained early
recognition in reclamation work from
the old reclamation survey board and
West Side interests believe the state
should turn it's attention to the west
ern districts. While recognizing the
force of this contention, Director
Scott believes that the land settle
ment project should not be compli-
Gated by geographical considerations
His mind is entirely open on the ques-
ton of location and the veterans
committee will visit each proposed To-
cction before making its recommen-
dation.

STATE ADMINISTRATION NOTES

Olympia.-The state equalization
committee, which consists of the Gov
crnor, State Auditor and Treasurer
and which prior 20 its reorganization
under the administrative code known
a. the state board of equalization, be-
gins 3-weeks session Sept. 6. The
committee faces fights by the rail
roads for reduction in their apprais-
ed valuations, the customary struggle
over equalization of valuations as be-
tween the counties of the state. and
very likely will have to deal with
phases of the soldiers bonus question
and the disposition of poll tax mon
eys as well as work out plan for IA
reduction in the state general fund
levy which all three members hope TO
effect.
The Soldiers Bonus Bill, enacted bv
the people last November, imposes 4
l-mill tax levy TO meet interest and

Only 2 per cent of the timber on the
l2,240 acres of land in the Hob river
district on the Olympic peninsula
which the state hal selected to reim-
burse itself for losses sustained BY
the inclusion of part of the land
grants in forestry reserves, was dam
aged by the big storm which swept
through western jefferson and Clal-
lam counties last winter This was
reported by cruisers who have Just
completed an examination ordered by
Land Commissioner C. V. Savidge.
The men now will investigate losses
lit the Clearwater country. AS the ac-
tual exchange with the federal gov
crnment has not been completed the
loss through the storm will be borne
by the federal government instead of
the state. A recent letter to Commits
sioner Savidge stated the final details
Of the exchange would be taken I'D by
the government within short time
and Washington will fully recover for
losses it has sustained.

bond redemption charges. While the
total appraised valuation of property
in the state is not yet known it is
quite likely the levy fixed in the ref
erendum bill will no more than nav
interest on the e13,000.O00 of bonds
which are required to pay the claims
Of the veterans. On top of this extra
tax which is imposed next wear for
the first time the state also must
meet an increase of 500 of a mill in
the tax for support of higher educa-
tional institutions.
As is known, whatever reduction in
the state tax levy is made will have TO
come in the general fund, which L. d.
McArdle, Director of Efficiency, ha.
claimed all along would be cut ire
spoctive of the effect of the poll tax
law and which Gov. Louis f. Hart
has stated he expected to reduce for
next year.
Poll tax moneys are paid into the
general fund but some state officials
and part of the public has advocat-
ed using this money to pay bonus fund
bonds. There doubtless will be a sur-
gestion of this sort to the equaliza-
ton committee, some going so far as
to urge that the money be held intact
to pay the bonus Indebtedness. On
the other hand there is strong pres
sure in favor of using the poll tax
money to reduce the general fund tay
and give taxpayers relief for awhile.
The test suits TO determine whether
an extra $2,000,00U of bonds can be
issued to pay the rest of the bonus
claims will come before the Supreme
Court while the equalization commit
tee is in session. If the Court holds
the finance committee has authority
t, issue these bonds and the referen-
dunn bill passed by the people last
year appropriates the money, futui e
proceedings will be simple. If the
Court should not uphold this view It
is quite likely a special legislative
session would be required to appro-
pirate the money needed and if that
step is necessary the poll tax receipts
provide the only money in sight to
pay the last of the claims. The equal.
ization committee will have to keep
this situation in mind.
1t is an open secret that the rail
reads want a substantial reduction
OF their appraised valuation and urg-
ed the Supervisor of Taxation to fav-
OF it. Street railway, telephone and
telegraph lines also are appraised by
the Supervisor of Taxation and all
are reviewed by the equalization com
nittee.

" ashingtOn Herds in Lead.

Within two or three weeks the De
pertinent of Agriculture expects to
have completed the work of tuber-
culin-testing all the cattle in San
Juan, Pacific and Wahkiakum coun-
ties. Then this state will have foar
counties where all dairy herds arc
free from tuberculosis, Island county
already being "clean.' In all the rest
of the United States there are but ST;
counties with a similar record.
The latest federal government re-

that have been tested for tuberculosis,

North Dakota Bonus DELAYED.

l.. A. Walsh, a World War veteran
who enlisted from North Dakota, has
received letter from Adj. Gen. Fras-
er saying bonus claims will be paid
as follows: In 1921 up to File No
5000; in 1922 up to 5000; in 1928 up
to $4,000, in 1924 up to 1900, in
1925 up to $1,000; in 1926 up to %
90. Further correspondence S un-
necessary" the adjutant general told
Walsh, according to copy of the let
ter printed by the Yakima Republic.
In Washington more than 10000
claims have been paid and it is hoped
by state officials that all veterans
will have received their added com
pensatiOn by the end of the present
year.

New Forest Fire Losses.

New Forest Fire Losses.
Cooperation with Washington's d.
vision of forestry by the Washington
Forest Fire Association, the federal
forestry service and L. S. army await
ors has reduced the Western Washing
ton forest fires to an unusually low
number this year. The state has aid
ed county associations in Stevens and
Pend Orielle counties to fight the only
serious East Side fires. The state
paid for gasoline used and army avi-
ators have maintained an aerial pa
troll of the Olympic peninsula region
damaged by last winters storms. The
state also aided il rehabilitating tel
ephone lines and repairing roads on
the peninsula. Mary big loggers this
summer have burned over old work
ings and reduced the future fire haz-
ard.

THE EVE OF PROSPERITY.

AT time when the citizens Of
Lincoln county are inclined to be a
wee bit pessimistic over the busi-
ness outlook, it is wen to listen IN
the words of such men as Charles
H. Schwab, the great steel magnate
whether or not we agree with all of
Mr. Schwab's methods, there are few
who will deny he is a leader of ar
compllshment. Listen to what he
says:
America is on the threshold Of
almost unbelievable prosperity. We
nave had a business spree, and we
are now in the cold gray dawn of
the morning after. We have to nav
the bill, and we may as well pay with
good heart.
We are on the eve of greater de-
Velopment. However wild NAV he

and we decided at once to undertake
the expansion of works that we are
running only 20 per cent of their

ing that the future holds prosperity
Tor us, what better time for us to
spend our money for the expansion
that will be necessary in the future?
We can do it cheaper now than at

HOPING FOR FAILURE

minded enough to know that the
disarmament conference in Wash
ington was called solely with a
view to benefitting all humanity.

that out of its deliberations will
come some method, or some sug-
sestion, whereby wars NAV he made

Credit and Common Senes

"Credlt' is simply the belief of some man
IN your good common sense; and. with mutual
confidence, goods are exchanged for your
promise Some promises are as good as the
promise which makes United States Gold
Note valuable; and other promises are not
worth a (censored.)
fair test Of the worth of a promise is tho
test OF prompmess-for promptness is recog-
nlzed as the greatest builder of credit Tins
a man has paid during tho past at the
agreed tlme it is likely that he will do 50
agalll-and his credit is good and you can rec
ommend this man your friends without fear
OF hurting your friends. At times of course.
tins man might not be able to pay exactly at
the agreed time but he will always be able to
tell you; so that you will not be doublv hurt
and by his promptness in doing this Won will
know that his new promise is valuable.
And while you may be sorry that this man
was not able to pay exactly at the agreed time,
is IL not great pleasure to be able to return
heip TO such man whe by his promptness has
certainly been OF help to you at other times?
The Phoebe Pharmacy uses this test of
promptness and in all its small transactions
1nis single test is ever held wildly in view.
~ a man is not prompt it weakens his credit

promptness his credit at this store is no good
even II ne has seven million doars-and
