TKE COLFAX GAZETTE
THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR.
DISCUSSES COUNTY
CLASSIFICATION
FORMER COUNTY SUPERINTEND
ENT TELLS HOW CLASS OF
COUNTY WAS RAISED.
N. D. Showalter, principal of the
State Normal school at Cheney and
former superintendent of schools in
Whitman county, makes the follow
ing statement in regard to raising the
classification of Whitman county dur
ing his term of office:
'Much has been said through the
press concerning the motives which
caused Whitman County to be raised
to the seventh class, and the individ
uals who were presumed to be di
rectly responsib-e for carrying it in
to effect. In noting carefully the
statements made concerning this af
fair, I uave been somewhat at a loss
to know how those interested could
believe it is such an easy matter to
raise the c'ass of a county; that one
man is largely responsible; that one
affidavit is all sufficient. On the oth
er hand, it may be said that those
same individuals are rather charit
able if they are willing to attach the
whole interest to one man only. I
mean by this that the raising of the
county was talked quite generally by
both business men and farmers, and
several articles were published in the
paper relative to it before the matter
was brought up to the commission
ers for consideration.
"I have no desire to answer for
others, nor shall I attempt to reply
to certain statements made concern
ing myself in this connection. These
statements have shown clearly that
they were either inspired by preju
dice or that the author was misin
formed as to the exact facts. I ac
cept the latter as the real explanation
in the majority of cases, and for this
reason do I offer the following for
the consideration of the general pub
lic.
"I do not wish in any way to deny
my interest in the matter at the
time, but I resent with the strength
of my whole manhood any statement
or acc;iisuations of dishonesty in con
nection with this proceeding. To find
fault and to blame is a very easy mat
ter, but reason, judgment, and truth
sometimes give us a new point of
view.
"In raising Whitman County to the
seventh class, the commissioners
were advised by John Pattison, form
erly of Colfax, whose reputation as an
attorney is unquestioned. They were
told that in the absence of an exact
counting as to the census of the coun
ty, the school population could be
used as a basis the same as has been
done in other counties under such
circumstances. I remember that in
stances were cited in the presence of
a number of county officers and citi
zens and the process of obtaining this
information was explained. Since
the knowledge upon which this basis
was cited was to be found in the rec
ords of the County Superintendent's
office, I, as officer in that department,
was called upon to produce these rec
ords and to make an affidavit cover
ing the exact facts contained therein,
which were pertinent in this particu
lar case. I gathere-1 tho information
asked for, all -of which was taken
from the records of the office, and
verified the same by affidavits before
the County Commissioners at the
time the question was called up for
hearing.
"Aat the time of the regular bear
ing, I was questioned concerning the
records and also concerning the com
parison drawn between the number of
children who were enumerated in the
county during different years. All
questions were answered upon oath
and the basis for the same was then
and stih may be found in the official
books of the county.
"The commissioners were advised
by Mr. r'attison that the basis as
shown by the evidence was sufficient
for raising the county, and that they
had a right under the law to act ac
cordingly.
"The whole matter was carried out
in accordance with the recommenda
tions of the council, and I feel quite
certain that all who were connected
with the matter believed everything
to be just and proper. If, however,
the basis was wrong I see no reason
why this cannot be charged to the
facts concerned in making up such a
basis.
"At the time of the hearing there
were several business men and citi
zens present representing both par
ties, and I am sure that any one of
them if questioned concerning the
matter will verify the statements I
have made, herewith."
SEWING MACHINE AGENT GONE.

AUDITORS OFFICES
RECORD IN 29 COUNTIES IS BET
TER IN 1910 THAN FOR PRE
VIOUS YEAR'S WORK.
Olympla, Dec. 20. —Statistics com
piled by the state bureau of inspec
tion show that the largest profit in
the office of auditor in any county
of the state in the year 1910 was in
Spokane county where the fees col
lected were $17,643.58 in excess of
the expenses of running the auditor's
office. The figures also show that
compared with 1909 the auditors of
the state made a much better record
from the point of view of the tax
payer in 1910, as in 22 of the coun
ties of the state the collections of the
auditor's office exceeded the expense
of running the office, while in 29 of
the counties a better showing was
made in regard to the percentage of
expenses to fees collected, while in
9 of the counties there is shown an
increase in the ration of expenses to
collections. Pend Oreille county is
not included in these figures, as it
was not organized in 1909. In re
gard to the percentage of fees ex
pended Whitman county made a bet
ter showing than in 1909 as the per
centage dropped from 194.00 per
cent to 160.96. The greatest drop
in the percentage of fees expended
was in Pacific county where it de
creased from 215.10 per cent to
7 6.74 per cent. The smallest per
centage of fees expended in any
county in 1910 was in Grant county,
or 55.98 per cent, while Wahkiakum
county showed the largest percentage
or 239.38. King county showed the
largest collections and also the larg
est operating expenses.
Smith Gets Insurance.
For a fracture of the first dorsal
vertebra, the state industrial insur
ance commission has allowed Amasa
E. Smith of Pullman the sum of $60.
Indians Exempt.
It has been held by the state tax

not have title to land their real estate
cannot be assessed for taxation pur
poses, but the improvements are to
be taxed.
Rate Schedule Delayed.
In order to make up the rate
schedules affecting all railroads ami
all points in the State of Washing
ton the public service commission
has asked the Interstate Commerce
Commission to delay until March Ist,
in putting into effect its new rates
from Puget Sound points east. The
state commission wants to have its
rates in accordance with and to take
effect at the same time that the fed
eral rates and the new rates put in
by Oregon become effective.
Powder Company Protests.
The Imperial Powder Company
has started a suit to restrain the in
dustrial insurance commission from
putting into effect the claims award
ed for the loss of the lives of eight
girls when its plant was destroyed
by fire. The company claims that a
girl becomes of age at 18 instead of
21 as held by the commission and
that the commission has no right to
fine the company $1,200 for having
girls under 16 years of age at work.
The case is now in the Thurston
county superior court.
Upholds the Law.
The supreme court says in a re
cent decision that while it does not
like the "fellow servant" rule in per
sonal injury cases, it has no power
to put that law out of existence and
in reversing a Seattle judge says that
if the people want this corrected they
should do it through the legislature.
Bonds for New School House.

amount paid by all the light and
power companies operating in the
county.

TIFFT'S ELECTION
IS CONTESTED
COUNCILf RANTSPETITION OF MR.
WEINBERG FOR RECOUNT OF
VOTES FOR MAYOR.
Over-riding the opinion of City At
torney Sherfey by a vote of four to
two the city council Monday night de
cided to grant the petition of Mayor
E. W. Weinberg for a recount of the
votes cast in the first ward at the re
cent city election and fixed Tuesday
evening December 26, at 7:30 o'clock
as the time and the council chambers
as the place for recounting the vote
for the entire city.
The petition filed by Mayor Wein
berg contained many allegations of
irregularities on the part of the elec
tion officials in counting and record
ing the vote in the first ward and
prayed that the council fix a time and
place for hearing on the petition and
to recount the votes. Attorney Sher
fey declared the present council has
no jurisdiction over the matter of
contest; that it is a matter for the
consideration of the incoming council
or the superior court. Attorney J. N.
Pickrell was present and took the
floor in behalf of Mayor Weinberg
urging that the council has full au
thority. Following him Attorney U.
L. Ettinger spoke for a few moments
urging the council to leave the mat
ter alone as they had no jurisdiction.
After the attorneys had all had their
chance to speak Councilman Perrine,
who had been chosen mayor pro tern
to preside during the contest hearing,
made an address urging immediate
action on the part of the council. A
vote was then taken and the petition
granted, Councilmen Barroll, Stra
vens, Kirkland and Perrine voting for
it and Councilmen Dreifus and John
son voting against it. Both Dreifus
and JOhnson said they were not vot
ing against having a recount but
were following the advice of the city
attorney as they believed with him
that they have no jurisdiction.
Charges Fraud.
In his petition contesting the elec
tion of J. Floyd Tifft for mayor E.
W. Weinberg, the contestant, makes
several charges in substance as fol
lows:
"That not less than ten legal votes
'tast for the contestant were wrong
fv-lly thrown out and not counted for
the contestant."
"That not less than six votes were
counted for the contestant were
wrongfully couuted for the contes
tee."
"That all ballots in which a cross
was marked in the circle or square at
the top of the "Citizens" ticket, or
column headed by the contestant, E.
W. Weinberg, for Mayor, and on
which there was a cross in the square
opposite the name of any person on
the "Peoples" ticket, or in the col
umn headed by the contestee, J.
Floyd Tifft, for Mayor, the vote was
not counted for the contestant, E. W.
Weinberg, or any person whose name
appeared in the "Citizens" ticket, or
the column headed by the contestant
for Mayor, but the vote was counted
for the party whose name appeared
at the immediate left of the square
marked with a cross in the "Peoples"
ticket, or column headed by the con
testee for Mayor, although there was
no cross or other mark in the circle
or square at the top of the "Peoples"
ticket or column headed by the con
testee, and although there was no
cross or other mark in the square to
the immediate right of the name of
th.c contestee."
"That Helen James, one of the
clerks, became ill and was compelled
to desist from her labors during the
counting of the votes and at the time
her tally sheet showed four less votes
for J. Floyd Tifft than the tally sheet
kept by P. R. Duchemin, and said P.
R. Duchemin without rjght or author
ity raised the tally sheet theretofore
kept by Helen James four votes to
correspond to his tally sheet."
"That during the counting P. R.
Duchemin would give the contestee
credit for votes cast for the contes
tant and that on more than one occas
ion when calling out the vote as read
by one of the judges the number on
his tally sheet would differ from the
number on the tally sheet of the oth
er e4erk, but he would insist he was
correct and would prevail on the oth
er clerk to raise the number of votes
to correspond with his sheet. It was
very noticeable that no diserepencies
occurred between the tally sheets of
the two clerks except as regards the
vote cast for mayor."
"That P. R. Duchemin, one of the
clerks, was disqualified to act for the
reason he had said he would do
everything in his power to defeat E.
W. Weinberg."
"That the said contestant did re
ceive a majority of the votes cast for
mayor in the First ward, and if the
legal votes cast for him had been
counted as they should have been, E.
W. Weinberg would have received not
less than 30 votes in the First ward
more than the contestee, which would
have changed the result of the entire
election and given the office of mayor
to the contestant by a majority of 30
votes."
What They Say.
P. R. Duchemin, the election clerk
in Ward No. 1, who is charged with
juggling the tally, safd to a Gazette
representative, "What Mr. Weinberg
charges me with in regard to the tal
ly is absolutely false. At no time
during the entire count did the other
clerk and myself differ in regard to
the number of votes cast for mayor.
We did differ two or three times in j
the count for some of the other ofti-.
cers. One time I marked up my tally
one vote to correspond with the oth
er clerk and one time the other clerk
marked up her tally one vote to cor
respond with mine. We never dif
fered in the count for mayor. I did
say before the election that I would
do anything in my power to defeat
Weinberg but any reasonable man !
would know that meant lawfully. A
man would be a fool to say anything
like that if he meant to do it unlaw
fully. I did not want to be on the
election board anyway but I was urg
ed into it. I want a recount if those
ballots have not been tampered with."
Miss James, the other clerk with
Mr. Duchemin, says that there never
was a difference between her book
and that of the other clerk, on the
vote for mayor, and also that Mr.
Duchemin never touched her tally
book, but the same was turned ove'f
to Mrs. Wyman, who finished the
tally on account of Miss James' ill
ness, and Miss James then took her
place and strung the ballots.
Benjamin Baker, one of the judges
of election in the First ward, has not
been down town in several days and
had not heard of the accusations
made by Mayor Weinberg in his pe
tition for a recount until told about
it over the telephone by a Gazette
representative. He said, "I don't
believe there is anything to it.
Everything was perfectly regular as
far as I know.
Mayor Weinberg says, "I would
not turn my hand for the office; all
I want is to know whether I had a
square veal or not. I have it on very
good authority that the count in
the First ward was not correct.
What I want to know is whether 1
have been rightful'y informed or
not in regard to the vote in the first
ward. As to the other wards I have
no reason for making a contest but
I will be better satisfied if they are
gone over, too. All I want to know
is whether the majority of the peo
ple voted for me or Dr. Tifft. I
have no hard feelings towards any
one and if Dr. Tifft is elected I will
do all I can to assist him in the im
provements for tae city."
