OLYMPIA, Feb. 2,

Dear Folks Two letters from you today bring up ques-
tons Of general interest and II you like, Wen talk them
over
One from logger in Mason county Mark Reeds nome,
wants to know about the state timber which to be sold
TO pay for the capitol Mr. Logger warns that there Is
plot aoo for somebody not Mr. Reed to get some good
timber cheaply.
The other from member OF the Transfers and Chauf-
feurs union in Tacoma asks about the proposed tax on
stages and the reason for It also about the repeal OF what
is called the permanent highway levy
Well let's take the first one first;
The state owns thousands Of good timber land and
of these lands set aside IN what known as the
capitol grant, to be sold to build the new capitol group
IL will take 100000 worth TO finish the group and
bond issue TO be oaed TO be redeemed by sale OF the
land.
Our logger-eorrespoudent says that small timber
cannot bid the land because the bid must be accompanied
by the full amount IN cash.
Lots of the timber he writes lis away from roads and
after small timber has strained his credit with the
cash payment he hasn't money left TO build roads and
to get at the timber This looks like It was rugged for the
big fellows"
it DOES look that way little Mr.. Logger-but from
what can learn 1t wasn't MEANT that way. The state
simply takes precautions to get It's money which is good
business.
incidentally if these lands sell for less than market value
of similar lands don't rush TO the conclusion that there's
dirty work afoo The state getting its money in cash
afford to sell under the market cheapy than pi-
vate owner who has TO wait for his money
And that's that. Now for our chauffeur friend.
The Northern Pacific lobby down here is the strongest
in years and this lobby is blamed rightly wrongly for
the attempt to put heavy taxes on stages Obviously If
stages heavily taxed they'll have TO charge and the
railways which have been hit hard by stage traffic may
benefit

POLITICS BREAK UP A HOME

Mrs. Lillian Feickert, who is
prominent in Jersey politics, is in
the divorce limelight. Her husband
who is a prominent banker, has
left her. He makes no statement
publicly but his position can easily
be understood.
Mrs. Feickert has spent most OF
her time travelling around the state
in the interest of women's Repub-
lican clubs. She has been in Lam
bertville on several occasions. 1t is
hard to see how she could main
tain home life while doing all this.
And few men relish married life
where there is no wife and home
life.
Also Mrs. Feiekert has made her
self the target of many jibes and
jeers by her public quarrels with
certain politicians.
At any rate it may be safely as
sumed that in this case politics
supplied the venom which poisoned
married life,
If it acts as warning to others
it will be worth the price.

LIKE A BUNCH OF
NOSE-THUMBING BOYS

That supposedly august assembly
the u. S. Senate-has made it
self ridiculous and disgusting by
its recent actions. How can you ex-
pect respect for government when
we are cursed with such a gang
of hoodlums as evidently infest the
Senate Chamber at Washington.
How can you expect to impress
new citizens, coming here from
other countries, with sense of res
pect and awe for the august gov
eminent of the United States? When
they observe the silly actions OF
the U. S. Senate they can be par
doned for their bolshevistic words
and actions.
Because these overgrown boys in
the Senate resented Vice President
Dawes statement that they were
frittering away their time, they
purposely lie to him when he want.
ed to be excused from the Senate
telling him that nothing of impor.
lance was to be acted upon. Their
as soon as he leaves they bring VI
the appointment Of Warren for At.
torney General. And without 9
shadow of doubt they voted 9
tie, which could only be broken by
Dawes, so as to lay the blame or
Dawes for not being present.
And they are peeved because
President Coolidge didn't name some
'lame duck" for the job-somebody
they could use in future elections
and so they refuse to confirm War
ren's appointment. Like crowd o.

SOCIALISM BY INDIRECTION

President Coolidge has asked the
Federal and State tax experts as
sembled in conference in Washing
ton, to evolve more simplified and
economically sound method of rails
ing revenues. He argues that there
should be economy in income of
revenue as we'll as outgo.
The overlapping of Federal and
State inheritance taxes, he says, has
resulted in situation that amounts
to virtual fiscation-wherein in
many cases the total taxes levied
may exceed the total value of the
estate.
The President reiterated the be-
lief he expressed last year when
he signed the revenue act that the
Government should withdraw from
this field of taxation. He points
out that in the past the Govern
ment has sought revenue from es-
tate taxation only in time of war
emergency and that 1T always has
withdrawn when the emergency
ceased to exist.
| Referring to the action of Con
gress in not only continuing, but
actually increasing the rate on this
form of taxation, the President said
"ff we are to adopt Socialism, il
should be presented to the people
of this country as Socialism, and
not under the guise of law to
collect revenue. The people are
quite able to determine for them
selves the desirability of a .partic-
ular public policy and do not ask
to have such policies forced upon
them by indirection. The Manu-
| facturer.
