might be possible through restric
ton of the number of military
pilots.
Senator Underwood replied that
airplanes and dirigibles both were
used for land and naval warfare and
| for commercial purposes. A pilot
| training for commercial work could
| fly a military machine, he added,
and for this reason, and also be-
cause the question of land arma-
ments was not to be taken up by
the present conference, he agreed
with the technical committee that
I aircraft limitations were imprac-
ticable.
Influence ON Economic Development.
Mr.. Balfour pointed out that many
persons thought development of avn
alton would exert an immense in
| fluence upon economic development
of mankind" adding that restric-
tions on aircraft development, there
|
full purposes of international inter
communication" whatever the flu
ture might make possible, he said,
present knowledge would not permit
a distinction between fighting and
commercial development in the air
M. Sarraut, for the French, shared
this view He would regard with
apprehension, he said, anything OF
of aviation
Baron kato, for Japan, said thu
time would come when aircraft
limitations would be necessary, but
agreed that it could not be done
now, and Mr.. Hughes summed VI
committee opinion as against any at
tempt to restrict airplane develop
ment.
This left the question of dirigi
bles to be considered, Mr.. Hughes
said. He read the report of the sub
committee showing that limits o.
size of dirigibles was at last prac
ticable Whether the advantage tC
be gained in a military limitation
way of fixing the size of heavier
than-air craft, he said, would bt
more than offset by restrictions
thus placed on commercial use Of
such craft was for the committee tC
decide.
Senator SChranzer suggested tina
by striking the words Fighter than
air" out of the subcommittee con
clusi0n, it could be made applicable
to all aircraft, and this was done
after Mr.. Balfovr had inserted thu
words lat present" in the declars
ton that limitation of air forces wa,
impracticable.
The subcommittee suggestion tina
another conference be called to con
slider the rules of war applying tC
aircraft then was taken up. Sena
tor Schranzer said Italy considered
essential that certain principles o
international law in this connection
I became "solemnly proclaimed" b!
the conference if it could go M
further. He recalled the bombing
of French, British and Italian citie'
during the war which brought deatl
to women and children and destruc
ton to buildings and works of ar
which were the patrimony Of thu
whole humanity.'
The subject finally was sent tt
the drafting committee with the gen
eral adherence of all the delegations
to the proposal for a future confer
OF this nature.

Cat with Two Legs
Can Run and Hunt

At the VIM. Woolen farm home at
Bissell there is a cat which walks
and runs on two legs. This cat is
of the male persuasion, and would
undoubtedly use more legs if he had
them, but not having them he is
getting along very well with only
two.
The cat was born healthy and
whole, and was two years old this
summer when he disappeared. After
an absence of about six weeks he
came back home, minus the right
front and left rear foot. Whether
he had been caught in trap or
moving machine was not known,
but the stumps of the legs were
healed and he was walking on his
two legs. He was fat and healthy
His brother was very curious
when the prodigal returned, looking
him over carefully, smelling his
nose, and then looking him over
again. Evidently the new arrange
ment of two feet was a novelty,
but he finally accepted the returned
brother and agreed that if two feet
were the new style it was all right
with him.
The cat with only two legs keeps
rather close to the house, but runs
and hunts as usual. The Woolens
did not know what to do about the
cat when he returned, but as the
animal appeared to be perfectly
well and was not suffering his loss
in any way, they took him back to
the cat fold.

Fire Burns the Roof
of Mrs. DALEY Home

Fire broke out in the house of
Mrs. J. F. Daley south of the b.
w. Emery home on the corner Of
Second and Walnut about 2:15 We'd
nesday afternoon. Mrs. Daley was
not at home at the time of the fire,
having left that morning with her
daughter Mrs. G. w. Schwerdfield
for a visit in Leavenworth. Miss
Doris Schwerdfeld, granddaughter
of Mrs. Daley, was in charge OF
the house during the absence OF Mrs.
Daley, and said there had been no
fire in any of the stoves since morn
ing. Mrs. Daley rented light house
keeping rooms, and several OF the
show people had rooms there.
The fire started in the south gable
of the roof without any apparent
cause, probably from a defective
chimney. None in the house knew
anything of the fire until someone
passing shouted that the ohuse was
on fire. 1t is reported that some
one saw smoke rising in peculiar
manner from or near the chimney
about noon. The alarm was turned
in by Thomas Hayes, but the fire
bell is hung so low that it was
hardly heard down town and sew
eral hearing it did not know 1t was

Make Next Congressman
Look Like Sam Hill

Judge Sam B. Hill of Waterville
is to be the democratic contestant for
the congressional seat held for two
terms by j. Stanley Webster. The
judge presides over the courts OF
Grant and Douglas counties and is
we'll known throughout the Fifth
district, having held court in all the
counties, and having been promi-
nent figure in legal and political
circles for years. He has held court
in Colville and is known to num-
ber of the local residents.
The increasing discomfort at the
record of Mr.. Webster caused the
democrats of the district to urge
Judge Hill to file. In labor circles
it was announced that practically
solid support would go to any strong
man who might be named to oppose
Webster, and when Judge Hills ac-
ceptance was announced, every ele-
ment of the democratic party united
in pledging him assistance.
Judge Hill is AZ years of age, has
served for six years as judge, and
has an exceptionally strong record
not only as jurist but as citizen
who keeps in touch with public af-
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1922-08-19

fairs. The immediate uniting of all
branches of the democratic party in
the district has encouraged the re-
publican opponents of Webster to
take up the fight for change, hence
the congressional campaign is liable
to result in a number of new align
ments.
Only those who talk with the la
boring men and farmers can under
stand the bitterness against the
present incumbent because of his
attitude against organizations of la
Dor and his known allegiance to the
financial interests which biennially
pay for his election. If this revolt
continues to spread until election it
is said that no amount of money
will be able to stem the tide.
The congressional slogan will be
"Make the next congressman look
like Sam Hill"

Are After the Scalp
of Senator POindeXter

By reason of the statewide oppo-
siton to the reelection of Senator
Miles Poindexter, there are four con-
testants on the republican primary
ticket for senator, and three on the
democratic ticket. The opportunity
of being senator from this state
evidently looks so bright that seven
men in two parties are eager to con-
test.
Republican filings against Poin-
dexter are Mrs. Frances Axtell of
Bellingham, Judge Austin f. Grif-
fiths of Seattle, Lee Title of Yaki-
ma, and Col. George B. Lamping of
Seattle. Democratic filings are
former congressman C. C. Dill of
Spokane, Lyman Seelye of Belling-
ham, and James Longstreet of Port
Townsend.
The opposition to Poindexter has
become so severe that he has not
returned to congress to engage in
the important matters of putting a
higher tariff on the cost of living,
or settling the railway strike in fa-
vor of the railroads, but is putting
in his time in trying to refute the
bribery accusations of the Seattle
papers, and explaining why New
berry is needed in the senate. The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer has been
printing columns and columns about
the Poindexter record, going into
the "details of the campaign moneys
he received from eastern financial
interests, and generally crediting
Poindexter with being such rogue
that it would seem a libel suit
would be imminent every day un-
less the accusations were based on
fact.
With four candidates IN the field
against INN on the republican ticket,
it has teel, thought that Poindexter
would surely win the nomination, al
though the detection and bitterness
engendered might lose him the ell
ection later. But Mrs. Axtell has
been making such strenuous cam
paign from the yer! start that west
side politicians say she really has a
chance.
C. C. Dill has been campaigning
since early spring, and says there is
no longer any doubt but that he will
be elected. He has been in every
county but two (Stevens and Ferry),
and has friends working not only
among democrats, but among repub-
licans who do not especially like his
party politics but who want to see
Poindexter beaten. 1t seems quite
evident that the democrats of the
state will be solid for Dill in the
primary, as he is the only democratic
congressman this state has had for
many years, and becomes the logical
man to send to the senate.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1922-08-19

the fire bell. George Roth, who was
down town at the time, went to the
Columbia garage, where he was told
that they were waiting for him to
take the fire truck over He hurried
to Willett's garage, where the fire
truck is being kept, and drove it to
the fire.
Although the fire truck arrived
late a hydrant was just across the
street and the firemen were not long
in getting the hose connected.
Exactly two minutes elapsed from
the time it arrived until the water
was turned on. The fire, which
started in the attic, had not broken
through the shingles much at that
time and it was necessary to fight
it from the inside as the whole in
side of the third story was ablaze.
1t was necessary to play the hose
on the fire for 80 minutes in order
to completely extinguish it, and the
damage from water exceeded that
from the fire.
Nearly all the furniture and fix
lures on the first two floors were
carried out by helping friends and
neighbors, but most all the articles
on the third floor remained in the
building and were seriously dam
aged. Damage is estimated at more
than $1,000, part of which is cover
ed by insurance. G. w. Schwerd-
field telephoned to Leavenworth i'm
mediately after the fire, but Mrs.
Daley had not arrived there at that
time. He informed her of the fire
as soon as he could get in touch
with her by telephone.

Stevens County
and High Taxes
State Examiner Prepares
Article on Taxing Affairs
of the County

(rhe following information is by
l.. d. Brown, state examiner, who is
examining the county books, and
who prepared an article to be read
to the recent taxpayers meeting,
the following excerpts being taken
from it,
That the condition of the taxpay-
er of today is deplorable cannot be
questioned for a minute. Taxes are
getting to the breaking point, if in
deed that point has not already
been reached. The taxpayer is
groaning under burden that is too
serious and too real to minimize or
to treat lightly. 1t is the most
serious and therefore the biggest
question confronting not only the
American people but the nations of
the world.
1t is more than financial issue
because when the people are taxed
beyond their limit to pay it be-
comes a moral question as well, for
when men see their homes going
through the confscation of property
brought about by excessive taxes, it
makes them moral degenerates, an
archists, etc.
One of the primary causes in this
state is possibly found in the fact
tLo4 =,
state, and as such has much to do
in the way of road construction, the
building of school houses and all
manner of public improvements, etc.
The initial cost in these matters is
the heavy cost and these are the
expenses that have been drawing so
heavily upon the public purse string
for the past years.
After the roads have been con-
structed, the matter of maintenance
will fall much more lightly; after
the buildings are erected and fur
nished this item of expense will no
longer cause concern.
We have but to look at the in
creased prices we are forced to pay
for the plain necessities of the home
for an answer to one of the causes
of the high cost of state, county and
school government. Profiteering
has been with us so long now that
we are getting used to it and profit
eering is still with us today, as can
readily be determined by comparing
prices now with those of pre-war
times. How much more does it re-
quire to clothe and feed a family
now than it did along about 1913
and 1914? And yet it is claimed
that we are getting back to normal
cy.
We are not nearly approaching
the normal and the greatest factor
in preventing an early return is the
colossal selfishness of the profiteer
who cannot bring himself back to
the idea Of just and reasonable
profit.
After the Civil war which came to
close in 1865 we were till 1879
getting back to normal, or to the
resumption of specie payment, and
it looks now as if we might have
at least few months awaiting us
before we get back to pre-war con-
ditions.
Now, that it is a self-evident fact
that taxes are high and that they
have been greatly increased in re-
cent years it is we'll to note in de-
tail this increase, and since educa-
ton in this state is responsible for
just about half the taxes the follow
ing statement will show the increase
since statehood in this particular
item of taxation:
The cost of maintaining the pub
lie schools for the year 1890, the
first year of statehood, was
189O $608,474.00
1891 g61 44734

ticket and nine on the republican.
On Sep. IL these contests will pre-
sumably be settled.

sor, school superintendent, attorney,
engineer and commissioner first dis

committee having charge of the mat

Nominations for office may be made
by writing names ON primary ballot,
but the new law provides that 1919
of the party vote is necessary to
make such nominations effective.
This law was passed by the last
legislature to prevent Independents
