WESTERN WASHINGTON FAIR
CELEBRATES SILVER JUBILEE

The wettest week in it's history
married to a certain extent the cele
bration of the Silver Jubilee of the
Western Washington Fair which
closed its twenty-fifth fair last week
but in spite of the dampness the at
tendance was good and as is the usual
thing with this fair, the general ex
hibits were up to the high reputation
of President w. H. Paulhamus' great
show
The one feature lacking was the alb
sence of the livestock exhibit, which
was omitted this year on account Of
California, it being thought advisable
not to show cloven-footed animals al
Puyallup.
The poultry show, however, was up
to it's usual high standard, that of be
ing considered the largest bird exhi
bition in the West; and in the agricul,
tural hall the general farm crop dis.

district exhibits, seemed IL anything

To make up for the lack of live.
stock, the management redoubled its
efforts in putting on an amusement
program exceeding in interesting
events any entertainment shown on
these grounds.
The fair started celebrating it's Sill
yer Jubilee on Monday, the day being
set aside esp lilly for children and
old soldiers Comparatively large
numbers of the G. A. r. veterans
turned out, but the crowd of children
was not so large as usual, owing to
the fact that most of the children's
day program was cancelled last week
when many of the schools were closed
by health authorities. Following the
horse show, lighting the flames
demonstration was put on with the
aid of the latest fire department APP
paratus. There is an unusually large
entry in the saddle horse, hunter and
jumping classes, which made the
daily horse show undoubtedly as fine
as ever seen on the coast.
The horse show was on Tuesday,
the entertainment being designated as
Derby Day" This was very fine
exhibition, many Of the riders show
ing excellent Workmanship, and the
horses were the finest ever
Wednesday was Puyallup and Gov
ernor's Day, but on account of the alb
sence of Governor Louis F. Hart, three
gubernatorial candidates appeared on
the speaking program and addressed
the grandstand crowd for ten minutes.
The candidates present were: Roland

For some time it has been
known that the Governments OPP
erations during the current fiscal
year would result in a surplus of
receipts over expenditures, if pres
ent methods Of managing the pub
lies business were continued. The
expectation of such surplus has
solved the problems of many ar
dent friends of the people. That
something was wrong they were
able to conjecture, but until the
prospect of a Government surplus
was held before their eyes they
had never hint as to what should
be done about it. Once that pros
pect opened, their illumination was
complete. If there is discomfort,
why not distribute the surplus?
Why not build new post-offices,
new custom houses, new navy

be surplus. Why not spend it?

of taxation from their shoulders.
His thought is that since the
Government doesn't really need
the money there is no particular
reason why it should continue to
collect it. His thought is that by
freeing capital from the restric-
tons which excessive taxation inn
poses upon its natural use for
productive purposes, industry gen
orally will be stimulated and its
benefits widely distributed.
Seldom have arguments dealing
with problems so extensive in
their effects upon the fortunes of
so many people been more skill
fully confined to the essential mat
tiers involved. There will be many
attempts at modification, at sub
stitution. Those so far made seem
to lack the element of sincerity.
Up to the moment of writing none
of them has shown convincingly
that this money can be left in the
pockets of the people and can at
the same time be spent by the
Government.
