The tax payers of Whitman county will save annually $30,000 by statehood. ' Is this true? Let us see. The assessed valuation of Whitman county is, ! in round numbers, 87,500,000. We now pay ■-', mills territorial tax, or a total of $18,750. This is our proportion of the expense of running tho territory, and nearly tho same expense will be incurred under the state. In addition to this there will be the salaries of the state of ficers and the cost of the legislature which amounts in all to 360,250 in tho whole state, to raise which a tax of a lit tle over 3 ot-a mill will be required, therefore, the stato tax will be raised from 2] to •'-.', mills which will yield a revenue of $2-1,375 in this county, or $5,625 more than at present. There are ! in this county, about 180 school sections j which cannot bo sold for less than $10 per acre, at oven this low price- those lands are worth $1,152,000, the fourth of which can be sold at once, giving us the sum of $288,000 which, invested at 8 per cent —this being a fair interest —would give us yearly $23,040 for which we pay nothing. It requires $37,500 to run our schools, hence, the interest, figured as above, would be short $14,400. To raise this would require a levy of a little less than 2 mills. At present we pay 5 mills for our school fund. This, then, would be a saving of 3 mills which equals $22,500, but, inasmuch as our state tax will be more than at present by $5,025 this amount must be deducted which leaves a balance of $16,875 in fa vor of tho tax payer. Add to this the difference between the amount now paid couiity oiT.cials in fees and the salary they will receive under tho constitution and you have over $30,000 to the credit of the tax payer. To this should be added the reduction in cost of holding court under the constitution. Now, what is true of this county is true throughout the territory, and as Whit man's assessed value is about one-twelfth ] part of the whole territory, therefore, the i saving throughout will bo over $360,- I 000. Figures do not lie. Here are the facts, figure for yourself and you will find that economy consists in voting for the constitution. The Oregonian speaking of the Wash ington constitution, says: Criticism of the constitution is based almost wholly on the allegation that it j creates too many offices and allows too j high salaries; A state government no doubt could be conducted with a smaller number of officials for the present, but a constitution is for the future as well as for the present time, and Washington is increasing in population and wealth at a \ rate that will soon require all the official services that the constitution calls for. Nor are the salaries too high. Men of ability and capacity cannot be expected to enter the public service unless they are decently paid. Nothing can be more j pitiful than invidious comparison of the salary of a justice of the supreme court with the daily wage of the common la borer. Nobody but a paltry demagogue will adout so low an expedient. It should not be forgotten that while the constitu tion creates seventeen superior judges it does away with thirty-four probate judges, and in this particular, therefore, it is a positive measure of economy. Again, the state is to pay one-half the salary of each superior judge—a provis ion that directly favors the smaller coun ties. In her "school fund Washington i • * /?*= . i V KM has a rich heritage that 6hecan come in to only when Bhe becomes a state; and. as her fund will be more than ample to support all her public eehools, without special tax. the people of the state, by adopting this constitution and putting their state government in operation, will | put an end to speciel taxation for school purposes, and thereby will save enough to meet all the expenses of the state es tablishment. The fact should be remem bered that much of the value of the school lands consists in timber, and that this timber is subject to great waste, both from fire and from encroachment by those who take what is not their own. Administration of the school lands should, therefore be assumed by the state without delay. This is an import - ant reason for adoption of the constitu tion now. Recapitulation. To sum up the figure on the cost of running the government under the ter ritorial, and a stato form, the account stands as follows, in Whitman county: The territory of Washington, to the tax payer. Dr., Fees for county officers, $25,000; territorial tax, §18,700; school tax, $37,500; court expenses, $13,426; total, $94,626. The state of Washing ton, t.) the tax payer, Dr., Salary for county officials and their deputies, $10, --500; state tax, 825,000; school tax, $15, --000; court expenses, $10,000; total, $CO, --500. Subtract this from the territorial account and $34,126 remains to the credit of the tax bayer, by statehood. Eemember this is in Whitman county alone, whose assessed valuation is one twelfth of the valuation of the territory, therefore the saving to tho state will be $522,912. To this must be added the revenue which tho state will derivo from the tide lands, and from the expense should be deducted $8,500 which the legislature may reduce in salaries, and inasmuch as the revenue derived from school lands was figured at tho minimum, viz: 610.00 and interest at 8 percent., and the expensos at the maximum, yet on the face of thesa figures, which can be easily verified, wo are told by a cir cular, which has no father, that the con stitution is too expensive. Examine these figures for they will bear examin ation, then if you still insist on voting against the constitution have manhood enough to admit that you are opposed to statehood on general principles, or, in other words, admit that you endorse the democratic policy of opposing statehood, and all the civil and political liberties ;ind the blessings incident to that estate. >Vas it Ignorance.' The Commoner says "Why don't they (meaning the republican press ) tell that it is in the interest of economy and just ice that the superior court of each coun ty can appoint three court commissioners if it chooses, as standing judges, paid by tho county or litigants, while the snperior judge goes fishing .and draws 53.000 B year. Ho can sit back upon his dignity and never do a day's work, only revise the work of the court com missioners." The above was uttered either through ignorance or willful do- I ceit. Article 4, Section 22, reads "There : may be appointed in each county, by the judge of the superior court having jurisdiction therein, one or more court commissioners, not exceeding throe in number, who shall have authority to perform like duties as the judgo of the snperior court at CHAMBERS, subject to revision by such judge, to take depo sitions and perform snch other business connected with the administration of justice as may be proscribed by law." In another section the constitution al lows tho court commissioner to be paid in fees. Does the commissioners duty extend as far as the Commoner alleges? He can perform the duty of tho judgo at chambers; that is he can issue writs of mandamus, quo warranto, review, certiorari and prohibition, and such other business as a judge can do out of court. In Whitman county a commissioner will seldom bo required, except in case of sickness of the judge; but in counties where no judge resides a commissioner will be very necessary, ane as the constitution provides for sev eral counties being joined together for judicial purposes there must, or at least 1 should be, a commissioner in each county i wherein the judge does not reside; and ' for the Commoner's information we will ' say that such commissioner is both economical and will promote justice That thia is true will be seen from what actually exists at the present time in Whitman county. Suppose any citizen of this county desires a mandamns and tho act to be prevented is taking place. : and unless prevented immediately a ! great injustice will be done; the plaintiff j must go to Walla Walla to obtain the writ, and by the timo he returns the act ,is completed. If, however, there had been a court commissioner at Colfax, in a few honrs he would have his writ, and his rights protected, besides the saving of expense. Answering another question of the Commoner, namely: "Why are 30 odd probate judges retained in oiiiee?"' we will state that we can Bee no reason in this except that it was the policy of ! the democrats to retain in office all ■ county officials until their terms of office had expired, and, inasmuch as we do not remember soeing Mr. Warner's vote recorded p. gainst the provision we will leave it for him to answer. Still we can see no reason for rejecting the constitu tion on that account, as the fees they receive are small as compared with the expense of a new constitution, and, a<»ain, their term of office would expire ■ before another constitution could be put i in operation. Proclamation.
