Chain Store Tax
Killed By Martin
Governor Vetoes Four Sections Of
New Revenue Measure; In
come Tax Is Law

OLYMPIA, March Is - Riddled
by gubernatorial vetoes which
struck out several sections, HB237,
the. $18,OO0,0eO a year revenue
tax act passed last week as
the legislature came to a close, was
signed today by Governor Martin.
Sections vetoed included the
graduated license fees on chain
stores and the proposed 10 per cent
sales tax on cosmetics and toilet
preparations. Other provisions elm
mated by the governor via the red
ink route We're the tax on stock
issues and transfers, the gift tax
and four sections under the i'll
heritance tax title.
The vetoed sections were not
considered important, and it was
because the revenue they would
have produced would have oeen
negligible that Governor Martin
struck them, he explained.
The cosmetic tax would have re-
quired the use of stamps, which
would have to be affixed to the
articles subject to the tax. Most Of
the stamps would have to be placed
on the articles by the retailers. Sixty
per cent of the stock of retail drug
gists would have come under the

HUNTERS TO GET
STATE BOUNTIES
. ON PREDATORS
Details Of New System Are Ex-
planned By State Game
Director James
Must Have Permit
Only Approved Applicants Will
Receive Pay For Killing
Harmful Animals

Hunters who wish to hunt preda-
tory animals in this county anG
state for the bounties authorized in
bill passed at the recent session OF
the state legislature, will have an
opportunity next month to apply
for permits covering the trapping
and killing of cougar, bobcat or
lynx, and coyotes, according to
word received by Harry Stark, state
game protector, from Ray j. James,
state director of game.
The applications are expected to
be available April 10, Mr.. Stark has
been informed, and may be secured
after that date from game pro-
tectors. The law providing bounties
has been Signed by the governor.
1t is a rule of the state game de-
partment, Mr.. James stated, that
any one convicted of game law
violation during the years 1888, 1884
and to date in 1885, will not be
issued a permit to hunt predatory
animals for bounty. The bill pro-
vides that applicants must specify
the territory they intend to hunt.
Only resident citizens of he state
are eligible to hunt predatory
animals under this system.
Pay On Green Hides Only
For the time being we will pay
bounties on green hides only" the
director explained. "The hides must
have been taken after the issuance
of such permits" Hides of animals
killed or taken before the permits
are issued will not be eligible for
bounties.
Because of the fraudulent prac-
tees which were common under the
old bounty system it is considered
likely that the state game depart
ment and it's protectors will be ex-
tremely vigilant in their efforts to
curb illegal methods of county
collection under the new law.

Bridge Is Doomed
By High Water
Grand Coulee Dam Structure Will
Give Way Under High Flood
Engineers Say

GRAND COULEE DAM-Veteran
Of the smashing ice floes which last
winter threatened to tear the struc-
ture to matchwood, the temporary"
piling bridge which has been in
service here about six months is
destined to fall during the first
rapid rise in the level of the Column
bia river.
Engineers estimate that the river
need rise only about five feet more
to wipe out the one-way span, but
the MWAK is hoping that it will
remain standing until April Is. II
the river continues it's normal rise,
less hopeful engineers say, the
bridge will go out about April 1.
Work on the suspension bridge is
being rushed. AS soon as this is
completed, workmen will be switch
ed to tearing down the 41-bent
bridge near the Golfer dam area. It
Is hoped that the timber frames and
the long timber bents can be saved.
Build Second Entrance
Work is to be started within the
next few days on the construction
OF the east shore entrance to the
MWAK railroad bridge near the U.
S. guaging station, which also will
serve as a highway thoroughfare.
The proposed entrance highway
will lead from the bridge along the
steep bank, switching toward Mason
City a few feet downstream from the
u. S. bureau of reclamation cement
laboratory. The railroad will follow
the bluff further, continuing on an
elevation of 1920 above sea level to
the machine shop area.
The cofferdam was entirely closed
Thursday morning, completing the
bottom course of the big structure.
Only about 100 feet Of top-course
remains to be driven on the down
stream sector to complete the driv-
ing operations.

Writes Local Indian
Allotments Can Be Taken Away
And Leasing Rights Halted;
Vote On Plan April 6

The following letter from Sam 3
Hill to Willie Red Star is of interest
to Indians who are eligible to vote
on the coming election Of April 6, or
acceptance of the Wheeler Howard
bill for self government.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 30th, 1886
Mr.. Willie Red Star,
Nespelem, Wash.
Dear Mr.. Red Star
I have talked to the Indian office
about self government under the
Wheeler Howard bill. am send
ing you copy of the act and some
statements made by Commissioner
Collier about the act and how it
will help the Indians.
If the Indians vote for self gov
eminent, these things may happen
The community or council can
take an Indians allotment away
from him and pay him for it in the
tribes goods and lands or with
money, whether trust allotment or
fee patent.
The council or Indian office can
SbOp 1llOldItS 11Oul 1Cdo1lt6 L11C1A al
lotment to white men. They can
stop the sale of allotments also.
If the Indians do not want to have
self government they must be sure
to vote against it at the election, be-
cause it may be construed that all
who have the right 10 vote and do
not vote will be counted as voting
for self government.
Most OF the trust allotments ex-
pire in March, 1885. If the In
dams vote for self government these
trust periods will be automatically
extended. If they vote against it the
President will extend the trust per-
iod for them.
Yours very truly,
Sam B. Hill
Says Indians Oppose Plan
Harry OMhi. states that many OF
the Indians here, including the Nez
Perce, are opposed to the bill in
it's present form.
Every Indian, who has the right
to vote on this Wheeler Howard i'll
on April 6, should get copy of the
bill or an explanation of it's from
some person who understands it and
then be ready to vote intelligently
on it, local tribesnen declare.

EVERYONE GLAD
SESSION ENDED
SENATOR SAYS
Horace Smith "Clad To Be Away
From Olympia He Declares
/ On Return Home
Feared New Session
Revenue Bill Passed Rather Than
Risk Special Meeting And
/ What 1t Might Mean

/ Fear of special session and its
bleak possibilities led Senator
Horace E. Smith and eight other
Republican state senators to vote
AYE" to the sixteen million dollar
revenue bill enacted at the recent
session of the state legislature.
This explanation was offered by
Senator Smith, Okanogan and
Douglas counties, when he reviewed
briefly the highlights of the session.
We felt it was better to vote for
the bill than to risk an extraordin-
airy session and what it might
mean," Senator Smith candidly de-
clared. Throughout the session the
legislators were playing peekaboo
with Santa Claus, and when the
time came for raising the money to
finance the budget many of them
backed off,"
"Glad To Be Back"
Senator Smith said that he was
glad to be back =. glad to be away
from Olympia" and added that the
whole state was glad that the legis-
slators had gone home. Last minute
bills were rushed through, he said,
because the lawmakers knew that
the people wanted them to go home.
''The session itself is a hard one
to explain" Senator Smith said. eff
credit is due it should go to the leg
islators for the things they did not
do, the measures they did not pass,
rather than for the things that were
done. The members who blocked
measures introduced are the ones
who deserve the credit"
Explaining the legislation per-
tanning to gasoline tax division,
Senator Smith said that counties
would present vouchers for road
work on which they wish their share
applied, but that the state will issue
the warrants. This system will en-
able the state to keep closer check
on road expenditures, a necessary
procedure since divergence of gas
tax money by the counties to any
thing other than roads would jeop-
ardize expenditure of federal mon
ey on state roads.
Cities Share Large
The cities will receive gas tax
road funds based on $50 per capita,
which will mean approximately ST.
100000 to the Incorporated cities of
the state, he explained.
Senator Smith said that the rad
icals in the legislature were opposed
to any form of sales tax, and that
their opposition threatened passage
of the revenue bill.
Under the provisions of the sales
tax included in the revenue measure
milk, bread, butter, cheese, and
fresh fruits and vegetables will be
exempt from the tax. This puts a
premium on fruits and vegetables in
the fresh form, which may mean
some advantage here, Senator Smith
explained.

Program for All Forms
of Transportation.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, March 25.-Alfred P.
Sloan. jr, president of General Mo-
tors Corp, sharply challenged pro-
posals to place regulation of all forms
of transportation under Federal COM
mission today in the corporations
twenty-sixth annual report.
Pointing to the growth of highway
freight traffic, Sloan said that com
petition again exists in the field of
transportation Let us restore the
principle of free enterprise and en-
courage initiative. This is the road
of progress"
A notable increase in foreign sales
was a feature Of the report. in which
stockholders we're informed that net
earnings for the year were se4,769,-
l31, compared with s83,2l3,676 in
1888.
Net sales during the year oy ex-
port organizations overseas, both from
domestic Gources and from foreign
manufacturing subsidiaries OF the cor
poration, amounted to 220,560 units
with a net wholesale value of s202,-
263 ,625, an increase of 50. 8
per cent IN units and 93.3 per cent
in sales value the report read.
A gain of 3l6 per cent il sales
within the United States was re-
ported. With the total of units sold
TO dealers 959,494. Total unit sales
were 1,24O.477, a gain of 42.7 per cent
over the preceding year.
Total sales were S843 ,807 ,849. COM
pared with $3.50, 9,0l0,542 in 1888, and
the corporations net working capi-
tai increase from S243, ,832, 1896 to
SITS ,645 $3.50. although the dividend on
the common stock was increased from
S1.25 TO S1.50 share.
Sloan said that rail regulation
while originally adopted to protect the
public from monopolies, had inter-
fered seriously with free enterprise"
and that this, together with bu-
reaucracy and political considerations,
is factor contributing to the present
situation of our railroads"
The motor executive indicated that
he feared co-ordinated control of
transportation might make the new
yardStick Of transportation cost the
efficiency Of the past" and nullify
chronological developments within the
field.
