GOVERNOR SAYS POLL
TAX EVENTUALLY WILL
REPLACE GENERAL LEVY
In Letter to John Carmody Indicates
He Will Sign Bill in Spite
of Protest

Governor Hart has indicated in a
letter written to John Carmody, Of
Seattle, that he will approve the poll
tax bill. The governor states in the
letter that the poll tax car eventually
be made to replace the state general
fund levy which is at present 1-2
mills.
In his statement the governor does
not treat the poll tax as an auxiliary
aid in paying the veterans compensa-
tion bond issues, but only as an ad-
ditional source OF revenue to meet
the general expense Of state govern
ment.
The governor says in his letter.:
"This IS poll tax is equivalent to
about three-mill levy; or in other
words, is sufficient to take care Of
the entire general fund taxes of the
state. This tax is paid by all the peo-
pie whether they own property or
not, and probably more than the
equivalent of one mill tax levy will
be paid by rowing people who never
contribute one dollar to the expense
of the government and yet who cost
the government more in police and
health regulations than does all the
property of the state. 1t seems to
me wiping of all general fund tax
levy from your property will make
your $40 poll tax mighty good in
vestment.
81 can understand why man who
has no property but who stands
around on the street corner and
cusses the government can we'll af-
ford to condemn the poll tax, but 1t
seems to me that a poll tax when
once in good working order, and 1t
should be by the next session Of the
legislature, will justify a constitu-
tional amendment which would per-
NIT Of an exemption of from $1,OO.
to $4,000 In assessed value OF the
honest-to-GOd homes of the state.
There is one thing the state needs
more than another to stabilize its
citizenship it Is to lend encourage
ment that will bring about not only
home owning, but the actual living
in homes and rearing families"

BONUS APPLICATIONS
MAY REACH $4,000
Veterans Compensation Act
May Reach Total Cost of
$25,75o,OOO
WARRANTS AVERAGE
MORE THAN $25o.oo
Legislature Evidently Anticipated
Possible Deficiency in Passing
Poll Tax BIZ

A forecast on the basis of the first
2,5O warrants that went out from
the state auditors Office that the
total cost of the veterans compensa-
tion act to the taxpayers Of the state
will reach total Of $25,75O, 900.
that the l mill tax levy as provided
for in the act will be insufficient by
$2,OOO,000 to retire the necessary
bond issue and that the number of
applications for the bonus will be
around 10000.
These warrants average more than
$3.50 per claim and the 10000 that
have already been passed upon in
the compensation department are
keeping pu with that average. There
still remains large stacks about
about the Office what is estimated at
10000 more claims and every mail
brings an increase to tkhose piles.
There is every indication, accordins
to oficials, that the total will easily
reach 10000.
Principal May Reach Fiftesa lGillioa
Should this be the case and the Az
erage of $3.50 per claim be main
tained, then the principal OF the COM
|pensation act will reach 915,00O,OO0
instead Of $11.000.000, which was
the high point contemplated BY the
Legislature when the act was passed.
Figuring ON the pasis Of $16.000,-
900 as principal and that the bonds
to be issued for the payment Of the
|other claims in the next few days will
be the same style honda ~ those
already isued. ten-twenty paper, that
Is, bonds bearing 5h per cent inter-
est, to run for 20 years. with the priv
ilege of retirement by the state at
the end Of 10 years, but not less. the
total interest would reach $1z, ,000,-
900, from which would be deducted
$1,25O,0O0 which the state might re-
reive as interest for the money re-
ceived from the 1-mill tax levy pro-
vided for the retirement of the bonds.
Legislature Anticipated De6ciency
Whether or not the legislature an
ticipated at the time Of the session
here that / mill would be insufficient
is not certain, but the fact that pro-
vision was made in the poll tax
bill" for such an emergency would
sem to point to the fact that they
did.
1t is not specified in the poll tax
bill" that the money shall be used
for the retirement of the bonds but
the money from the tax shall 60 into
the general fund and that in rase the
1.mill levy was insufficient. then the
general fund could be used to pay the
difference.

ECHO WITH ROARS
FROM EXPLOSIONS
Tossing Of Bombs Ushers in
St. Patrick's Day for
Irishmen
BRITISH SOLDIERS
WEAR SHAMROCKS
Word Reaches Slim Fein Leaders
Britain Ready to Recognize
Irish Parliament

DUBLIN, Mar. II. Omitted Press. }
Tossing of bombs ushered in St.
Patrick's day today.
Irishmen were awakened by the
reverberations of explosions echoing
through the streets. Three military
motor lorries were attacked, but
were undamaged. The rife fire of
the troops wounded eight civilians.
Large gatherings were barred in
Dublin but many persons appeared
in the streets wearing the ancient
Gaelic costume, talking Gaelic.
British soldiers were noticed with
shamrocks on their Jackets.
Unoflcially an effort was made to
have the day mark the turning point
toward peace.
May Recognize Irish Parliament.
Word reached Sim Tein leaders
that Great Britain is ready to recog-
nize the, Irish parliament ~ COM
prising the duly elected representa-
tives of the Irish people. The recog.
milton will be based, It was said, on
the fact that the Dali Eireann is COM
posed of men elected to the British
House Of Commons, but refusing to
serve.
With that fairly definite assurance,
Ireland's peace leaders hoped for the
aid Of the churches today to arouse
a peace sentiment.
Cardinal Logue, primate of Ire
land, requested that the special SER
vices today include prayers for peace.
Launch Peace Drive.
At the same time, a peace drive
was launched in England, where the
archbishop Of Canterbury had ap-
pealed for special prayers to mark
the day.
St. Patrick's day found a British
army of 10000 men scattered
through the isle.
Opposing this force was a Sim
Fein army of five times that many
men.
Despite the numerical superiority,
there was little talk in Irish gather
ings of driving the British out. The
oupcIlOE CQulpHiCAt VI tuC MuIIoIy ,
the fact 1t is mObilized at all times
and that it could count on speedy
reinforcement were recognized.
Truce Finds New Supporters.
A truce found new supporters.
The demand was for definite peace
or nothing. Discussion of peace
negotiated by the Dali Eireann
brought up consideration of the rs
members interned with thousands of
Sim Feiners. These. 1t was believed,
would have to be freed by the British
or renounced as members Of IN par
liment by the Irish.
Home rule elections are scheduled
for June but the prospect today was
there will be held up indefinitely II
there is a chance for agreement with
the Sim Feiners.
