10 Vote or Not TO Vote
KEEPS LEGISLATORS GUESSING

CAFllOL BUILDING, OLYMPIA, Washington
March 1.-The legislature is drawing to a close
not much has been accomplished, and no one can
fix the blame.
With so many different views on great variety
OF subjects many quite new to legislators as well
as to the people, perhaps is not surprising that
1t is hard to get together.
The big issue is the tax problem and no one has
solution that makes a strong appeal to the ma
Jorty There are scores of ideas put forth by sin
cere persons, but it is difficult to reach any con-
cluson.
This is serlousminded legislature with Jeal-
ouses, good intentions, and not huch in the way of
results.
How to vote is problem Sould we favor the
So auto license fee and twGeea increase in gas.
SIS license fee and onecnt increase That
ought to be easy, hadn't it--but t isn't
Had we better have board OF tax supervisors
in each county to cut expenditures and If So shall
they be elected by the people or appointed by
board which in turn is appointed by the governor?
1t is simple problem, isn't it? Privately, think
it is the schools which are being most frequently
charged with unnecessary expenses. Do we want
another board to supervise the work Of the school
boards? How will our school folks like that. Tax
payers say yes" school authorities say no. 1t
is an easy problem, sIt it?
Shall we have income tax sales tax?
Shall we have an old age pension?
Shall we try to help the darymen by putting
15-cent tax on Oleomsrgarine and Nucoa and per
haps by doing raise the price of butter for folks
who already find it hard to buy butter? That's
simple, too, isn't it?
Shall we give King county nearly two and half
times large representation in the legislature as
Spokane county? We say mo" to that but
how to keep King from getting it is far more
difficult problem
1t is easy enough to decide whether one person
should be permitted to catch three geoducks, or
four in a day, and to vote for law prohibiting
pistols, and for another to tell each citizen what
he must do in case he finds machine gun, but
other questions are not so simple.
How much can we afford to spend on roads in the
next two years? Which road shall be build-the
ones want or the ores the other fellow wants?
How much, II at ALL shall cut salaries OF state

territory during 1881 exceeded $58,-
100000, with Los Angeles represent
ing less than half of that figure.
That city ranked third among those
of the nation in building opera
tions, according to the latest avail
able figures. Commerce through
Los Angeles harbor during the year
was valued at almost $500, 100000, a
figure only 8.5 per cent below that
for 1880.
"Of particular qualification dur
ing this period of retarded business
is the position of the banks in this
area. They have demonstrated their
ability to meet legitimate credit
needs of their respective commun-
tiles, an important factor contrib
uting to business stability. In my
opinion" he said, there is ample
reason for viewing the coming
years with confidence.
so far as the Imperial Valley is
concerned, we have the satisfaction
Of feeling that agriculture and bus
mess here is as good, and probably
better, than in most other parts of
the state While prices of farm
products are low comparatively,
they are not disastrous to farmers
who can adjust their operations to
new conditions. Business has been
less than during 1929 and 1890, but
most of our merchants report a
larger volume of trade during the
last month than expected"

THIEF GIVEN TO

cars out on trial, and is still try
ing it out, Jack Beaver, 45, was
on his way back to Denver today

extradition papers were signed by
governors of California and Color
ado.
Beaver was arrested December 90
by Tex Cornelison in Holtville. ana
has been held in the county Jail
pending extradition to Denver. He
denied he has the automobile in
question, and refused to waive ex-
tradition.
Not only did Beaver deny he had
the car, but when booked at the
county Jail he said he had been
in Imperial county for 10 years.
Cullen, a Denver officer, arrived
this morning to take the prisoner
