In this campaign c. c. Dill has
pledged he will abolish the sales
tax on food. and has intimated he
can tighten the tax burden in other
directions.
On the other hand. In a broad
cast speech from Yakima Tues
day night COPS Arthur Langlie
said:
81 am not going to tell the voters
I am going to cut taxes, because,
with the program I am advancing
for this state, / do not believe 1t
can be done-at least not in the
immediate future.
II feel the present tan
structure must necessarily be
maintained until such time ~
our aged people are properly
taken care of. until our schools
are adequately financed -
which they are not now
and until the other necessary
services of state government
are fully restored.
Then, and only then, will i
start cutting taxes.
There are at the present time
some Objectionable methods of
collecting state revenues. but the
collection of taxes never has been
popular activity.
1T is typical of a purely polit-
ical platform To advocate wider
benefits and reduction of taxes.
The political demagogue is always
offering that kind of a program"
One of the members of the state
senate during the 1871 session
may be o. r. Rockway, chairman
of the Thurston county grand jury
which criticized widely the way
state government was organized
and operated.
Roclway was nominated by the
Republican party for the county's
single seat in the senate. The in
cumbent, Harold p. Troy. was de-
feated for the Democrat nomina-
ton by Carl C. Mother, member of
the house last session.

LOCAL RED CROSS
DRIVE QUOTA SET
Campaign For War Relief
Will Be Conducted By Ma
tional Organization

With the invasion of Holland, Bel
GUM and Luxembourg the war has
entered a phase which will bring
widespread suffering to millions of
helpless men, women and children.
In order to inaugurate widespread
relief measures the American Red
Cross is at one launching a cam
paign for a minimum war relief
fund Of ten million dollars, of which
the quota for the Wilmington chap
ter is $4,000.
The Red Cross has asked that Mrs.
Ida B. Speiden, local secretary for
the Wilmington chapter, to mobilize
the entire leadership of this chap
ter and community at one in order
that the quota may be raised and
exceeded without delay. Chapters
may retain Is per cent of collec-
lions to cover local wal relief ex-
penses.
The Red Cross societies of all the
countries thus far involved in arm
ed conflicts, except those of Ger
many, Russia and Japan, have in
dicated that they will welcome as
sistance from the American and
other Red Cross societies. The Red
Cross societies of Japan, Germany
and Russia have indicated that they
could take care of their own needs
and did not require the assistance
of outside help. Therefore, the funds
raised in this campaign will not be
expended for the relief of those coun-
tries.
The purpose of this campaign is
to raise general war relief funds
to be expended within the discre-
ton of the American Red Cross to
meet emergency relief needs result
ing from conflict wherever they may
develop. The funds received by the
Red Cross will be applied wholly
and exclusively to war relief work
and no part will be applied toward
the regular activities and program

Miniatures of Washington
Worn as Sign of Grief

The fashion for personal adorn-
ment with memorials of recently de-
ceased relatives or of persons held
in particular esteem reached its
height in the decade between 1895
and 1905. 1t was an age of exag-
gerated and often ridiculous senti-
mentality for which the display of
mourning jewelry afforded an indi-
vldual and apparently satisfactory
form of expression, writes Stephen
Decatur in American Collector"
In view of the reverential affec-
ton with which George Washington
was regarded by all who knew him
and, in fact, by the American people
as whole, it is not surprising that,
following his death December ID,
1893, a veritable flood of jewelry APP
peared especially designed in his
memory. Almost, it would seem,
every one in the country felt his
death as a personal bereavement
and desired to wear some token in
dicative of this sentiment.
Much of this Washington memoir
al JeWelry took the form of lugubri-
GUS miniature paintings set in pins
or lockets, a familiar type of me-
mento mort then extremely popular
and which, apparently had first
come into use about the middle of
the Eighteenth century. Commonly,
these miniatures depict a sorrowing
female, beneath a weeping willow
tree, languishing over a cinerary
urn, a bust of Washington, or a
tomb either carved with a bas-relief
of the general or marked merely
with his name and death date. Since
this type of work was seldom scorned
even by the best artists, many of
these doleful scenes are beautifully
executed; often, too, they are set in
frames which are excellent exam
pies of the goldsmiths' art.
But the miniature painters did not
confine themselves solely to the pro-
duction of melancholy subjects:
miniature portraits of Washington
met a wide, popular reception.
