Driving conditions are different In
different locations and at different
times. Circumstances often force
a driver TO perform the extraordi-
nary and what under ordinary driv-
ing conditions might be considered
to be unwise. There are however a
certain set OF simple driving rules
which should he s constantly borne
in mind by the motorist that they be-
come habit and therefore executed
without thought.
Always keen far TO the right when
coming up over a hill on the public
highway. A crash might easily &C
cur at the very pinnacle with an un.
seen machine approaching from tho
opposite side.

But the patents which make the
Super-Six the most enduring,
smoothest motor and give it all
advantages, also prevent any
from copying its chassis.
Surely you cannot be satisfied
with less than Essex offers. Its
cost is but little more than cars
of the lowest price.

OLYMPIA. Feb. 6.

Dear Folks: Well the tax commission bill, which the
administration thinks going solve all tax troubles
is launched stormy today. 1t will make port IN the
governors mansion. all right, and be signed.
But there will be storms yet for il.
The house broke loose late yesterday for the first time
since the child labor fight.
Mr. Danelson from Whatcom county told the house that
he'd been talking the governor about the BILL The reye-
and taxation committee has been saying that it's Gov
emor Hartleys idea
THE governor told me he didn't know thing about the
BILL" said Mr. Danelson, surprisingly.
Maybe the colonel doesn't know thing about Of the
other he's supposed to be fatherng Who knows
The governor talked here to you the other night about
reducing the tax timber" continued Mr. Daneson and
if the commission this bill sets up follows his suggestions
suppose timber will be in the free list"
This eSe majestic and thing " Brother Reed from
Shelton who shocked at Mr. Daneson
This BILL as you know, sets up commission OF three men,
appointed by the governor and these will pass upon
all valuations Of property in the state for taxation purposes
That means that the so present county assessors will be
"out of IT,"
for small home owners which most of US If we want to
appeal valuation our bungalow Wen have TO put up
$500 bond and hire lawyers the bill says. That's all right
for the power company-but hard on
Mr. Hanks, from Ktttas, led the fight against the bill
He said it would cost 100000 to work il at the start and
set hundred pusilanmous blatheskteS running around
the state prying into peoples property"
Mark Reed and Mr.. Moulton Of Benton county said il
would do nothing of the Sort but would equaize taxation
(0f course nothing will equaze taxation until the big
public utility companies pay what they should and until all
these rich folks who thousands of dollars worth Of
bonds made 10 contribute)
Judge Gent of Spokane says this bill s the most vicious
piece OF legislation ever proposed The car never had so
much power as the commissioners would" he told the
house You're destroying the home of the little fellow and
giving commission power to order everybody around like
n bunch of soldiers"
Mr. Banker. of Okanogan. said the same thing What
chance has the poor taxpayer under this b? he asked
But for all that started TO say-the tax commits
sion bill will go if the colonel doesn't know
thing about it,
