Light Vote at the
General Election
Stevens County Republican
Except for U. s. Senate
and Coroner

Despite election day weather OF
reasonably good character, the gen.
eral election vote in Stevens county
was light, running less than 5000.
With three tickets in the field, the re-
publicans won everything but U. s.
senator and county coroner, which
were given to the democrats.
Democrats are grateful that the
head of the ticket, C. c. Dill, was CIV
en- recognition in this state for the
third time. AS a U. S. senator to
succeed Miles Poindexter, he was sup
ported by progressive republicans,
progressive democrats and by some
farmer-labor voters, not only in Ste
vens county, but throughout the state.
Following is the result in Stevens
county:

Senator, G. G. Dill.

THIRTY YEARS AGO
From the Colville Republican (E. l..
jameson. editor) 80 years ago today

Tuesday night, almost as soon as
the instrument began to click, indi-
cations of the defeat of the republi-

the Mckinley bill were numbered.
The defeat of the republican party
must be attributed to the tariff.

Matter of Taxation
Is of Pressing Interest

Total taxes collected from the
people of Washington for state,
county, city and school purposes last
year were $72,665,O00.
State taxes paid in 1917 were
$7,6O2,0OO. In 1921, they had jumped
to $17,562, 900. State taxes for every
man, woman and child in the state
last year were $13.O4, compared with
1910 for Illinois, 1881 for Califor-
MIA, $3.SS for Iowa.
The World Almanac shows that
the budget for this state is larger
than the combined budgets of these
7 states, with 100000 people:
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri,
Kentucky, North Carolina, South
Carolina.
Although fighting stopped a years
ago today, the federal taxes are D
times greater than in 1915, and we
still have the nuisance taxes on drugs,
cigars, fountain pens, alarm clocks,
dances, picture shows, and what not.
Although farm products are at the
lowest point, and the average ma
chinery and necessity prices are still
up at the top, the taxes on excess
profits have been abolished and the
taxes on the masses of the people
correspondingly increased.

Notes and Comment
on the General Election

Republican county candidates ran,
800 to 1900 over the democratic cam
didates. Webster ran about 450
ahead of Hill for congress, while
Dill ran about 40 ahead of Poin-
dexter, who was the third lowest man
on the ticket. Mckay ran about 100
ahead of Stapish.
The farmer-labor ticket ran about
325 votes, and showed that about
1876 farmer-labor supporters voted
for Dill.
In many parts of the county there
was light rain election night, which
made it disagreeable for those wait
ing for election returns. If Shakes
peare were still writing, he might say
that the rain fell on the beaten and
the unbeaten.
Betting previous to election was
not strong in this county, but such
as there was, the offerings favored
the republican ticket. Odds on the
U. S. senatorial contest in Spokane
ran 2A to 1 and as high as 4 to 1.
In Colville nothing but even money
was offered on Poindexter, with little
of it taken.
Much merriment resulted from the
election of the popular veterinary
Kenneth G. Mckay as coroner. 1t
has been limited that a democratic
coroner to bury the party's dead was
appropriate. 1t has also been init
mated that the voters take kindly to
anything tall in the line of Scotch.
1t is evident from the vote in Col
vile that the doctor is pretty well
liked on his own account.
Inasmuch as the coroner was also
elected by republican votes, it is to
be hoped that he will give all neces-
sary professional assistance to that
party in the next two years~and that
in his merciful professional manner
he will chloroform all the worn-out
party nags which have not yet been
attended to.
"Doc" still admits that he doesn't
yet know much about politics, 'ut he
is thankful for the consideration ac-
corded him as the only democrat in
the county to land an office.

Election officials say that this cleo
tion was the "worst" they ever saw,
meaning that the scratching OF bal
lots was at its height in this cleo
tion. Many voters scattered their
marks over three tickets. Very few
