All over the United States former
students of Whitman College are mo-
bilized to begin the campaign to

MAcKINAW TROUT

Willie Dorringer is the little boy in
the picture. The fish is "just Whites
SIZE" 1t would be fish story" to
say that Willie caught this big Mack
NAV trout. He did not catch it with
his little hands. However, Willie could
tell thrilling story because he was
with his father, Bill Dorringer, Ola
cier National Park guide, when the
fish was caught on a large spoon hook
and trolling line In st. Mary's Lake
last summer.
Willie and the fish each tipped the
Gales at the same notch-421a pounds.
Willie was cited by his father for his
conduct during the "splashing battle"
e obeyed orders like major, remain
ing quiet in the boat during the half
hour struggle Dorringer had before he
got the monster trout into the boat.
"The boy sure helped to catch that
fish, you can say what you want to-"
Dorringer declared, because l never
could have landed it had Willie got
excited and scared by the encounter
and made me afraid of capsizing the
boat. The boy was in the bow seat
and he sat there without culver
while the big fish lowed the boat in a
circle half dozen times before e.

lie on the trout in the bottom Of the
boat until got my knife out and put
an end to its powerful Hopping"

Tax Increase Greatest in
33 Years Since 1891

When we buy something at the
store, we try to balance its cost with
the probable satisfaction that we will
receive from it. We decide between
81 and an SO pair of shoes on the
basis of the probable length of wear
and the probable foot comfort each
would give us.
Whether we apply the same logic
to matters of taxation is somewhat
doubtful.
Thirty-three years ago all state
county, city, school district and road
district taxes in Washington amount
ed to $4,606,995, according to figures
compiled by e. d. Cowen and pub.
lished in the April issue of Tax Facts,
the official publication of Washington
State Federation of Taxpayers Asso-
Citations. This year the people Of
Washington will pay $67,978,S47 taxes.
This means almost IA times as much
tax money this year as the people OF
the state paid in 1891.
But somebody speaks up to justify
this great increase on the ground that
the state has greatly developed in
both population and property valua
ton since that time and can, there
fore, afford this increase In taxes
While our taxes increased nearly IL
times, our population increased lit
tie over three times and the tOta
valuation of all property in the state
about two and one-half times. Oul
taxes have increased nearly four ant
one-half times as fast as has our pop
ulation and more than five times a:
fast as has our property valuation.
The question logically presents 1t
self: Are we today buying severa
times as much satisfaction with oul
tax money as we were 33 years ago
Are the qualities Of our state and 10
cal governments the efficiency ant
comfort of our highways, the charac
ter of our educational systems, etc.
sufficiently superior to those Of {
third of century ago to warrant THU
enormous increase in their cost?
A question that may be still more
at point is: Assuming that the stan
dards Of these things are so vastl.
superior to those Of 1891, is this su
periority worth the staggering tai
burden that the people Of this STATE
are carrying ?-Washington Farmer.

Traffic Congestion Due
To Drivers Carelessness

Traffic congestion in the average
city is largely the result of careless
ness in the use Of the motor vehicles
that make up such traffic.
This is the opinion of Douglas She
lor, manager of the Automobile Club
of Washington, given in answer to
numerous queries from observing mo-
florists as to whether traffic in the
downtown section of the city could
not be greatly simplified If each driv-
er would plan his errands and his use
of the car.

Since one Is no longer cast out

many charming conceits have been
originated to strike grace notes in
the costume of the Spring and
Summer. It is unfair as well as
unpleasant to call these trinkets
Limitation jewelry" for they pre-
tend to be nothing but their own
sweet selves. The patrician pic
tured lady, who three or four years
ago would have insisted on pedi-

ment of rapt admiration for her
ring with its great red, nameless
stone which matches her earrings
In composition, and her lips and
belt as well In glowing crimson
hue.
Some of her pleasure Is no doubt
due to her blouse, which is made
of a new printed crepe in wood-cut
design. A French artist whose
usual medium is the wood-cut was
induced by Henri Creange, art
director Of Cheney Brothers to lend
his skill to the fabric field. The
result Is an entirely new technique
In textile design. The design Is
carried out with many fine lines

FROM THE MAN ON THE CORNER"

Charleston, w. Va.-West Virginia
Negroes are opposing the candidacy
of John w. Davis, Democratic nomi-
nee for the Presidency, on the ground
that he is unfriendly to their race and
that his election would place in jeop-
ardy their right of franchise. They
are preparing to launch nationwide
campaign in opposition to his candi-
dacy. Negro speakers will be sent
from West Virginia into other states
to tell of the activities of the Demo-
cratic candidate in proposing legisla-
ton inimical to their interests.
Mr.. Davis has incurred the opposi-
ton of the Negroes of his native state
because Of an effort to strip them Of
their right Of suffrage and to provide
Jim Crow cars for their transporta-
ton on railroads within West Virginia.
Planks favoring separate cars on rail-
road trains for the two races and con-
demning the enfranchisement of "an
inferior race" were incorporated in the
Democratic platform in State con-
vention held in Charleston in 1908.
John w. Davis and his father were
delegates to this convention. The
father, the late John ]. Davis, was
chairman Of the committee on resolu-
tons, which prepared the two planks,
and spoke in the convention for their
adoption The delegation in the con-
vention from Harrison County, Of
which the father and son were mem
bers supported both planks.
The convention of 1908, held in
Charleston on July %, of that year,
was the last Democratic convention
held in the state for the purpose Of
nominating state officers. John w.
Davis and his father were accredited
leaders Of the Democratic party at
that time. The present Democratic
nominee for the Presidency was the
in the convention of the gu
bernatorial campaign Of the late
Thomas E. Hodges, who was defeated
for the nomination for Governor by
Louis Bennett of Weston.
George Byrne, newspaper editor,
who died a few months ago at Viii
hanson, was the leader Of the move
ment in the Democratic party to dis
franchise the Negro. The adoption Of
the plank was the successful culmina-
ton Of contest he had waged for
years. Many of the Democratic lead
ers in the state were opposed to the
adoption Of the planks in the Demo-
cratic platform, advising that the
course was suicidal for the party.
The contest over the two planks
was bitter. When John J. Davis, the
