Appreciation For Service

Immediate response by the fire departments of
Melrose, Long Prairie and Osakis brought about the
turning point in the ravaging fire which threatened
the entire business district of the city early Sunday
morning. Without their help It is assumed that the
fire would have destroyed at least the entire block.
Their aid is greatly appreciated by the businessmen
of Sank Centre and the splendid spirit of service
manifested by the fremen was responsible for the
elimination of suffering and loss to community.
We take hats off to those volunteer firemen who
braved the cold and took other risks to aid
their neighbors in distress.

Splendid Move In Right Direction

in the right direction Tuesday when the organ

convention to be held in this city in 1889 This
followed the talk given by DR.. j. F. Dubois in which
he urged the businessmen of Sank Centre to under
write the convention and take the worry from the
fremen. The guns have been turned and every
citizen should have enough civic spirit and pride to
back this movement 100 percent. There is doubt

as soon as the weather moderated
sufficiently to allow resumption OF
work.

STATE REVISES
TRUCKING RATE
FOR CARRIERS
Contract Haulers Must Charge
Same Rates As Common
Carriers
L ariff Affected
Differential Established By
Code Is Altered By Pub
lie Service Department

OLYMPIA, Feb. 6. (UP)-In a
far-reaching order, the state de-
partment of public service today
announced permanent trucking
rates for common, special and con-
tract haulers, effective March /.
The truckers "code" set rates

tween Seattle, Tacoma, Everett

po nts west of the Cascades; Spo-
kane, Coulee dam, Walla Walla and
Charleston and eastern intermediate
points and local rates between
eastern Washington points
The order fixed fair rates for
common carriers and minimum
rates for contract and special car
riers. A supplemental order fixing
rates from Vancouver, Wash, tx
Bellingham and intermediate west
ern points will be issued in about
month.
The order fixed rates on bags
rope, Irvine, groceries and grocers
supplies, petroleum and petroleum
products, building material ant
machinery, fruit and vegetables
household goods, paints, magazines
insecticides, bakery goods, bever-
ages, dairy products, drugs and

contract carriers and fair rates for
common carriers should be the
same when the service rendered the
shipper is substantially the same, u
the order stated.
1.-THE legislature commanded us
to regulate all motor freight trans
portation for hire upon the publicly

all shippers and the general public

Oppose Tax Free
Home Proposal
Tax Commission Survey Show:
That Law Would Be Hard
Blow

OLYMPIA. Feb. 10-(UP)-En-
actment of law eXempting homes
occupied by the owners from pay
ing property taxes would deal a
heavy blow to government, especial
~ counties, survey by the state
tax commission revealed today.
A tax-free home law would reduce
counties revenues 54.84 per cent
and lop $2,571 ,224 off their annual
operating capital. Cities, the state
and others sharing property tax
money under the 4O-mill law also
would be hard hit. Counties with
many homes would be greatest suf-
ferers while Central Washington
wheat counties, with few homes
would be hit the least.
Thurston Hit Hardest
County officials declared such a
law would cripple many counties
The tax COMMISSIONS survey show
ed Thurston county would be worst
hit, with it's mandatory expendi-
lures like bond and warrant debt
retirement and five cents a day to
schools totalling 104 per cent of the
revenue it would receive from taxes
ate county offices with.
Grays Harbor county would lose
IS per cent of it's revenue, Pierce A,
King ~, Whatcoln 81 and Kitsap
60 per cent. Grant county would
be cut only 3.6 per cent and Lincoln
county per cent.
In addition to dealing a heavy
blow to county finances, the cut in
revenue would be felt by schools,
cities, roads and the state higher
educational institutions. Reduction
of assessment would be 20 per cent
over the entire state.
Provides Some Increases
The commission said the survey
was made before the initiative was
filed, but figures would be about the
same should the measure pass. 1t
provides slight rises in county and
city millages, but would not offset
! the 20 per cent drop in assessed
valuation, according to Tax Com
missioner T. S. Hedges.
If this law were enacted the
county government in Okanogan
county would lose 1925 per cent
of it's revenue, Chelan county 275
per cent, Douglas county 565 per
cent, Grant county 1853 per cent and
Ferry county 21.43 per cent.

Groups On Plan To Buy

/ Expect A. S. Hague
sopardy Of Timber Equity
Feared By Some Members
Of Council

Opposing factions among thu
Colville Indians will again try tx
compose their differences about thu
proposed purchase of the Wes1
Fork sawmill property when they
meet Monday in Omak for a furth-
er discussion.
At a former meeting the Colville
Indian association, the Triba,
Council, and subsidiary association
members differed on the wisdom OF
mortgaging portion of the tim
Der equities of the Indians to fl
nance the venture.
1t is expected that A. G. Hague
forest supervisor from Nespelem
will meet with the Indians at their
session Monday to discuss the feas-
Utility of getting out logs from In
dian owned claims to the mill. The
meeting is to be held in the old
Indian Administration building in
East Omak
The Inchelium association in
particular favors purchase Of the
mill property and it's operation by
the Indians, it is contended. Older
members of the reservation went on
record as opposing the plan, taking
the stand that such a move would
place in jeopardy the $4,000, 100 tim
Der claims of the tribe and that If
mill proved unsuccessful, they
would suffer a too great loss for the
sake of the experiment.
Some groups have held that
the establishment of productive
industries, with the MIL as start

GAME DEPARTMENT WINS
IN STEELHEAD TROUT FIGHT

SEATILE-Another victory IN
it's fight to protect the steelhead
trout from commercial fishing has
been scored by the Washington
state game department with the
conviction of Jack Dillon, Nisqually
Ind. an, in an important test case
at olympia in the court of Justice
Van r. Hinckle.
Dillon was arrested recently by
Harold Loughary and Tom Horn OF
the state game department on a
misdemeanor charge, namely oper-
ating a gill net on the Nisqually
river at point one and a half
miles below the N.squally Indian
reservation. The Indians had con-
tended that treaty rights and state
law gave them the right to operate
fish nets within five miles OF the
boundaries of all reservations In
the state.
Give Code Precedence
The court in finding Dillon guilty
ruled that the law involving the
five mile limit net fishing privilege
for Indians conflicts with the state
game code and must give way to
the latter for the protection OF
game fish.
Dillon, who was given a Today
suspended jail sentence as penalty"
in the test case, was defended by
John Dunbar, former state attor-
ney general.

CONSTRUCTION FIRM ISSUES
STATEMENT ON EMPLOYMENT
Company Says Contract With
Government Prohibits Closed
Shop On Project
No Discrimination
investigation Launced Into EN-
ployment Methods And
Wage Rates

That no discrimination in TIN
case of union men and non-union
men employed on the building Of
the Grand Coulee dam will or can
be made, was the attitude taken by
the MWAK company in response to
agitations for closed shop at the
dam site recently.
M. H. Slocum, general superin-
tendent of the construction project,
has issued a bulletin to the men
stating that under the terms of tho
contract of the MWAK company
with the government that no dis
elimination can be made and that
the company plans to conduct It's
employment policies in accord with
the provisions Of the contract.
Certain union factions contend,
however, that in some cases men
receiving the SO cent an hour rate
of pay for unskilled work are called
upon to do work that is specified as
skilled labor in the government
contract and which should call for
pay OF $1.20 per hour.
Company officials state that all
labor Is being secured through the
national unemployment agency
without regard to union affiliations.
Although it is admitted that or
ganization work is being done
among the dam workers by union
representatives, it is being done
quietly and with no attempt as yet
to call mass meetings or incite open
strife.
