GASOLINE REVENUE HEAVY,

The experiment of the Department
of Licenses with the first years gas
oline tax shows that all estimates OF
the revenue a cent a gallon tax would
raise were conservative. While June
figures are yet to come it Is believed
the first years total will run above
SS75,000 May showed almost as good
record as July and August of last
year while June may equal Septem-
ber's record of $4,000. In any event
it is apparent that by April l not less
than S1,70O0O0 will have been col
lected. whereas 81 100000 was the es-
innate.
On the record to date the Depart
ment of Licenses figures that 1t is
perfectly safe to estimate that during
the bennium beginning April |, the
gas tax will yield not less than $780,
600 a year for each cent per gallon OF
tax imposed. As the Pacific High
way will be paved for its entire length
next year and other road improve
ments will increase travel, the reve-
nues from the gas tax might easily
approach 100000 a year on the
present basis of cent per gallon.

The Wenatchee World goes to the
assistance of the monopolists who are
fast gaining preference in the use of
our public roads The Certificate of
necessity" law is indefensible from
any point of view Arguments may
be made in its favor but they prove
nothing. The highways ought to be
open to everyone who desires to
travel them, whether it be once a
month or a dozen times a day, and
with any vehicle which does not over
tax the stability of the roadway and
bridges. The next step, if the Ger
tifcate of necessity law is allowed to
go unchallenged. will be to deny to
the individual the right to drive his
own rig over the road when a freight
or passenger outfit can carry hlm or
his goods, and the claim will be that
it is unnecessary" for the individual
to add his vehicle and cause cJrges.
ton of traffic. Neither has the state
a right to forbid the construction of
parallel railroads, but it is the dutr
of the state and nation to encourage
competition in all lines of business
and for governments to concern
themselves less with the guaranteeing
of dividends and more in the interest
of service and fair dealing with the
masses. Monopolsts thrive sufficient
ly without the aid or sanction of gov
ernments.

Herrin, Illinois, was the scene of
one of the most disgraceful incidents
of American history. Herrin is in
the heart of the Illinois coal mining
district and the union miners are out
on strike. a mining company had
brought in men, some sixty Is num-
Der it appears, to work while the
strike was on, and Gt is claimed, af-
ter two union men were killed by
guards when attempting to reach the
workers and get them to leaye) they
were attacked by the union miners,
forced to surrender and give up
the arms that had been fur
nished tn EN- by the operators,
and then, according to all reports
We're shot down, dubbed, stoned and
stabbed-murdered. Bringing in
strike breakers is a crime in the sight
of union labor and usually the public
sympathizes with the unions. But
there are conditions which ought to
be considered. The coal miners in
and about Hel1'n are said to be most
~ foreigners, and this seems to be
borne out by the bloody event of last
week, for Americans, though some
times rash, would never have killed a
score or two of fellow men who had
laid down their arms and given them
selves up as prisoners. No self-re-
speeding American citizen will do
other than condemn those guilty of
the massacre at Herrin. Reports
from the district indicate that the of
ficials of Williamson county, in which
Herrin is situated. are in sympathy
with the murderers and that prosecu-
ton of the guilty is not likely to be
carried out. If this be true the state.
or if need be, the national govern
ment ought to step in and see that
every one guilty, whether a principal
or accessory. be thoroughly punished,
and every guilty alien, if he survives
just punishment, ought to be depOrted
as an undesirable. No less thorough
should be the prosecution of the OPP
orators who allowed visiting union
men to be killed.

England and Germany have both
been the scenes of assassinations
within few days. Field Marshal Sir
Henry Hughes Wilson, chief of the
British imperial general staff, was
shot down on the 22nd. DR.. Walter
Rathenau, German minister of foreign
affairs, was killed Saturday. Each
was man of great ability, laborng
as best he could for the good of his
countrymen, and the assassinations
have retarded rather than advanced
the interests the madmen who plan
ned and carried out the killings per-
haps in their madness thought they
were advancing.

After trial lasting nine weeks,
Gov. Small of Illinois was found not
guilty of embezzlement by jury of
twelve good citizens. This is encoul-
raging news for the average citizen
who has felt all along that our gov
eminent was in safe hands, and that
those who pilfer in office cannot re-
tain their grips and continue in their
nefarious work. Had Gov. Small been
guilty of embezzlement it is unlikely
that he could have been elected gov
ernor.

Mr.. Jermane, the Washington cor

information for public and private
consumption, that Mr.. Hoover secre-

the agreement on the maximum price
of coal during the strike (about dol
lar ton in excess of wartime prices)
the public will closely scrutinize any

"The Live Hook" little sheet is
sued by the Washington State Press

"An advertiser using a 2x6 space in

drawing business and the firm with a
desire to keep its business going at

to have someone who can prepare
such copy and have an advertisement

TanIac Restores Los Angeles Man to
Splendid Health After Every

@TanIac has done me more good
than all other medicines and treat

great deal. for I was sufferer from
indigestion forty years and have tried
every kind Of medicine that came my
way" said r. Fl. Bowron, 1886 w.
18th ST., Los Angeles, Cal.
" could hardly stand the bad spells
I frequently had with my stomach. I
was weak and nervous, had no appe-
lite, and I felt miserable generally.
Nothing I took gave me more than
temporary relief and gradually
grew worse.
"About two years ago Tanlac put
me In splendid condition and 1t has
been my standby ever since. When
ever ! get to feeling a little off, a
bottle or two puts me In fine shape.
I eat heartily now, sleep fine, have
no distress after meals and, in fact,
am enjoying splendid health. Tanlac
Is just the thing for those who suffer
as / did"
TanIac is sold by all good druggists.

utan is expected here just as soon as
the zoo is ready for him. He belongs
to man who Is going travelling for
two years. and he wants to leave him
in the zoo while he is gone. He
thinks he will be happy here with all

"They say that people have great
deal of trouble in finding places to live
in, for there has been something they
have called housing shortage.
1T means that they have been short

believe, though news travels rather
slowly to the Monkey house, but even

Sorry, Mr.. 0rang- Titan, but there

that at all. Instead we say:

enough and pleasant enough and fine
enough for you?

A fine way to act, too, consider.
