MEASURES TO BE SUBMITTED
AT GENERAL ELECTION

Senator f. j. Wilmer of Rosalia
has promised to write a series of
articles explaining and commenting
upon the several initiative and ref
erendum measures and the constitu-
tional amendments to be submitted
to the voters at the general election.
The editor does not assume RESPONSE
bility for Senator Winners views
and reserves the right to comment
upon them The first and second
articles of the series are as follows:
Initiative Measure No. 40
The soldiers bonus voted by the
people, imposed a burden of $12,-
100000 to $15,O00,000 upon the tax
payers OF the state The property
tax had reached ruinous proportions,
hence the proposal for a poll tax
met ready favor.
The poll tax is not approved by
modern students OF taxation 1t is
not an ability tax The widow wash
erwoman must pay as much as the
corporation lawyer That is its
strongest Indictment. 1t is opposed
by many who pay no property taxes.
1t is opposed by large employers who
object to serving as tax collectors
from unwilling employees. The tax is
difficult of collection and has been
repudiated by all political parties
Something may be said in it's ia
yor. Under it, many pay who should
pay for the benefits of government
and who otherwise can not be
reached.
1t raised $2,50O,000 the first year.
This year so far but half as much
the repeal has no doubt retarded pay
ment This is election year and col
lecting officials perhaps do not re
gard earnest enforcement as vote
getters.
However, they may become more
Jealous later and it is probable that
$4,5o0.000 will be realized for the BIZ
enutum, equal to the revenue that
would accrue from 4 mill property

COST OF WAR TO BOYS Oh WALLA
WALLA, YAKIMA, WHITMAN

Inasmuch as the Spokane Spokes-
man-Review has editorially, under
the caption Cost of Bonus to Walla
Walla, Yakima Whitman. directed
attention to the cost to the people
of the above mentioned counties, if
the pending bonus measure should
be enacted, il is only fair to look ON
the other side of the picture and
call attention to the cost OF the war
to the boys of the same counties, in
partial recompense for which the
bonus bin has been drawn.
The war cost scores of them their
lives; it cost scores of them their
eyesight or a leg or an arm; it cost
hundreds of them the permanent inn
pairment of their health; it cost hun
dreds of others the loss of their
jobs; it cost hundreds OF others a
delay of several years in the compile
ton of their education; it cost thou
sands of them the exchange of the
comforts and pleasures OF home for
the hardships of the encampments,
the dangers and priyations of the
trenches or the hell of the firing
line; it seems quite likely that it will
cost all of them the loss of their
faith in the gratitude and sincerity
of their countrymen, who sent them

Referendum Measure No. t2

Duplication of public utilities is
sometimes Objectionable Two tele-
phone systems in a municipality are
nuisance and two street railways
are often undesirable Competition
tends to lower rates and service may
be given at actual loss, but eventually
there occurs the inevitable merger,
or bankruptcy and elimination Of
the weaker rival Then rates go up,
perhaps unduly in an effort to re-
coup former losses and in the end
the public suffers.
In the development of water
power and irrigation projects, pro-
vision must be made for growth and
future demands for service that
might be seized by an invading rival
The provisions OF the Certificate Of
Necessity" law i'm affording security
to capital, it is urged, would hasten
development OF cur great water
power resources now largely dormant
and encourage the use of service by
| lower rates.
