NEW NAME FOR WASH
INGTON NATIONAL FOREST

Word has just been received at
the forest service offices in Port
land of the change in name of the
Washington national forest to the
Mount Baker National Forest.
This change is made by an ex-
ecutive order signed by President
Coolidge on January 81, and is eff
fective since that date. On the
same date the name of the Oregon
national forest was changed to
Mount Hood national forest.
The forest service recommended
this change in name in recogni-
tion Of the increasing attraction
and Importance from tourist
standpoint of the Mount Baker
region, which federal forest offic-
ers believe will become one of the
most popular recreation areas in
the entire northwest.
The completion of the Mount
Baker highway into Austin Pass
will make accessible to the out
side wtworld the Mount Baker and
Mount Shukasa country, region
of unsurpassed variety and charm
and this construction will un-
doubtedly be followed by thou
/ sands of visitors annually to this
now little known region.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLE

AS a candidate for the Repub-
lean nomination for governor, it
becomes my duty to make a state
ment to the people of the state of
Washington upon which | shall
ask the approval of the voters.
Taxation is not only the great
national, state and municipal
problem, but it is also the great in
dividual problem of the age. The
tax rate affects every individual
for the reason that the consumer
pays the tax bill in the final anal
ysis. Taxes are added to every
thing we use and the high cost of
| GOVERNMENT is reflected in the
constantly increasing cost of liv-
ing,
The tax problem is not a politi-
cal but a business problem. The
solution of this question does not
lie in the adoption of new and I'M
tried theories of government. Mel
Their political quackery, demagog-
lie utterances nor class legislation
will reduce the tax burden. All
such activities greatly increase
taxes. The adoption, application
and use of business methods in
the conduct of every department
and division of government is the
main essential to any real pro-
gram of tax reduction
Tax reduction is a job for bus
mess man-not for a politician.
1t requires business knowledge
and business experience
Existing high taxes are des-
tructive of business and Industry.
The state needs new industries,
more pay rolls and increased OPP
portunity for the employment of
labor.
Inefficiency, waste, extrava-
gance, and any and all foolish ex-
penditures of public funds must
be stopped. We must get rid of
the frills and follieS of govern
ment and replace red tape with eff
ficieney.
The position of governor is
that of business manager of the
states affairs, and l shall so re-
gard it. If properly conducted
the Office of governor is not po-
litical job. The chief executive
should not be mere dispenser of
| political patronage. If the gov
ernor does his duty he will give to
the state the best ability and all
of the energy at his command to
see that the affairs of the common
wealth are placed upon a sound
basis entirely divorced from poll
ties. That is what ] propose to do
and | propose to do it without
regard to class, clique or indiyid-
ual.
If the people elect me governor
pledge myself to Immediately
make bushes survey of every
department and division of state
government to determine where
and how the state tax burden can
be reduced. | shall make this sur
yey myself without additional
cost to the taxpayers, just the
same as | would the operations of
any business enterprise coming
under my management. What
ever waste or inefficiency is found
| shall take immediate steps to
correct it.
The politician seeking office is
willing to make any promises to
gain votes and such promises are
usually forgotten after election.
During this campaign, | will not
make any statements, pledges or
promises based upon political ex-
4 pediency.
The government of the state of
Washington was designed and in
tended for all the people and if
am selected as chief executive
/ shall consistently and contin-
uously oppose all efforts to dis
pense special privilege.
| ROLAND II. HARTLEY,
Everett, Washington.

that his name in our city has long

Yet here is the kind of introduc-
tion best calculated 20 put at his
ease the paid lecturer sitting on the
platform:
Now. ladies and gentlemen, before

good many members who are in
arrears with their fees. ] am aware
that these are hard times and IL is
difficult to collect money, but at the
same time the members ought 10
remember that the exenses OF the
society are very heavy. The fees
that are asked by the lecturers. as I
suppose YOU know. have advanced
very greatly in the last few years.
In fact, l may say that they are
becoming almost prohibitive."
The lecturer can see the members
who have not yet paid their annual
dues eyeing him with hatred. The
chairman goes on:
Our finance committee were afraid
at first that we could not afford to
bring Mr.. Leacock to our society. But
fortunately, through the personal
generosity of two of our members
who subscribed literally out of their
own pockel. we are able to raise the
required sum-.
NOW, lauleS anu SenlleHeH. COH-
tinues the chairman, what I feel is
that when we have members in the
society who are willing to make this
sacrifice--because it is a sacrifice,
ladies and gcntlemen-we ought to
support them in every way. The mem
bers ought TO think it their duty to
turn out to the lectures. We have
managed TO keep this society alive
for II years, and it has required
good deal OF pretty hard spade work
by the cimmittce. But without more
ado (this is always a favorite phase
with chairmcn) I'll invite Mr.. Lea
cock to address the societY-oh. just
d word before / sit down. VIII all

of the lecture kindly go out through

The island he first saw was Samar,
a great wooded country that we now
know is bigger than Connecticut, with
a population almost as large as that of
Cincinnati. He sailed from there south
around the Island Of Leyte, which is
considerably larger than Deltware. and,
passing between that island and Bohoe,
. which is larger than Rhode Island,
came down the coast of Cebu. which is
Of almost the same size. Cebu is
shaped like a long toothpick, sharp
at both ends and fat in the middle.
Magellan landed here, where the little
islands Of Mactan and Cebu almost
come together.
Mactan Is so small that you cannot
find it on some of the maps. / reached
it at or 10 miles from where Magellan
crossed over. The straits between it and
Cebu are so narrow that this afternoon
when the tide was out / was able to
cross in the space of 10 minutes In a
sailboat, a catamaran. with two great
bamboo outriggers lying on both sides
in the water to keep it from turning
over. This crossing was made five
miles or more from the city of Cebu
at a little town to which I went in an
automobile. The boat was far out from
the shore, and at first I could not see
how to get in without wading. But the
little DrOWn-sklnncQ SalloTS, VINO were
naked except for a shirt and short
trunks, jumped out into the water,
waded ashore, and carried me and my
secretary on board on their shoulders.

word to the King that his mission
was friendly, and he was in need of
provisions.
The King, whose name was Ra ia n
Humabon and who was probably an
old Moro pirate, said that all boa is
arriving in his country had to pay
tribute, suggested that Magellan do
likewise He said that he had two
thousand armed followers and was
accustomed to levy tribute on all
trading vessels.
To this Magellan replied that the
King of Spain was a much greater
monarch and that he would not pay
tribute to any sovereign on earth. He
said that if the King of Cebu wanted
peace he could have it: but if he
wanted war the Spaniards were ready
to fight. The Filipino King then
asked if Magellan was demanding
tribute, and Magellan said No"
Therupon the two went through the
blood brothership ceremony. and
Magellan rewarded His Philippine
Majesty with a robe of yellow silk
trimmed with violet, two gilt glasses.
and a silver dish. The King in re-
turn supplied the Spaniards with
provisions. and within a short time
relations became so friendly that the
King with 500 OF his follow erS ac
cepted the Christian religion. They
probably came to regular mass in the
place that I have described.

THE Prince of Wales was born on
L June 90, 1894, and so is just over
80 years Of age. He was created
Prince of Wales on his sixteenth
birthday anniversary. The investi-
ture ceremony was at Carnavon Cas-
tie, with an imposing demonstration
Of Welsh nationalist sentiment. Be-
fore reaching his majority he had
completed his naval education at Os
borne and Dartmouth and been gazet-
ed as midshipman. He took up his
resid ence at Oxford as a commoner
Of Magdalen and lived as the ordi-
nary undergraduate.
The new civil list for the crown,
as approved by Parliament in 1910,
was fixed at some s2,350,000 n year.
but Parliament was not asked to
provide for the Prince OF Wales as
his income from the Duchy of Corn
wall, then about 100000 a year and
since then greatly increased, was
sufficient. His expenditures are rela-
lively small, and he has been a care
full and we'll advised investor, so that
already, at 30 years of age, he is
many times . millionaire.
