Payment Of
Current Taxes
Now Is Asked
WOULD HALT DEPRECIATION OF
MUNICIPAL CREDITS, SAYS
TAX COMMISSION

Immediate payment of taxes as
means of hating the depreciation OF
municipal credits and lifting govern
ment finances out of the limbo was
urged by the state tax commission IN
a direct statement this week.
The request, directed to Washington
taxpayers, follows on the heels OF an
appeal from Governor Clarence y.
Martin Monday for statewide coop
Grafton in meeting the tax payment
problem.
Immediate payment of taxes VIII
aid materially in funding outstanding
state, county, municipal and scnool
obligations and by so doing Will malt
the growing tendency to discount war
rants issued by those agencies. a prac-
tice which is not only increasing gov
ornamental costs but is also placing
heavy burden on government en-
ployees" members of the commission
said.
"Necessary economies have slashed
a normal budget of more than $SO,OOo,-
600 to $66,OO0,OO0. With approximately
s45.OOOyOOO in warranted Indebtedness
outstanding at six percent govern
mental agencies are expanding more
than two and one-half million much
needed dollars in interest.
Payment of taxes will not only cut
off major portion of interest COSTS
but will place the warrants of virtually
all governmental departments back al
par and their ready acceptance at face
value will go far to stimulate indus
trial and commercial activities within
the state
AS proof of their contentious mem
bers of the commission pointed g
King county, one of the hardest MI
financially in the state until a con-
certed tax payment drive halted war
rant discount practices and placed
most county, city and school warrants
on par basis, readily acceptable b!
banks.
The commission urged immediate
payment OF current taxes even Whe1
payments on delinquent accounts Wer
not possible. Payment Of current take
paves the way to cancellation OF IN
terest on delinquent installments TO
1892 and prior years with a five pc
cent rebate if paid on or before NO
vember 80, 1888.

LEGISLATORS TO view
OPERATIONS OF NAVY
Members Of Senate and House
Committees Will Visit West Coast
Aboard the Henderson.

The Navy Department is preparing
the naval transport U. S. S. Henderson
for trip to the West Coast, so that
members Of the Senate and House Naval
Affairs Committees may have an oppor-
tunity to observe the inside operations
OF the service.
This was learned today, when 1t de-
veloped that the service Is arranging a
schedule which calls for the Henderson
to leave shortly and take the Nations
legislators through the Panama Canal
and to California. On the Pacific slope
they will witness the evolutions of the
battleships, destroyers laying down their
smoke screen and airplanes taking of
and landing on the carriers.
Navy Department officials insisted the
projected trip is not "junket," but is
arranged because there are SO many
new members on the naval committees,
particularly in the House.
The exact itinerary has not yet been
made public, but the Henderson is now
being groomed for the voyage and will
depart, in all probability, from Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, or Philadelphia. Chair
man Vinson Of the House Naval Com
mittee has been conferring with Secre-
tary OF the Navy Claude A. Swanson
relative to the proposed trip. 1t Is pos
sible that the cabinet oficer will &C
company the legislators aboard the
Henderson.
