Ing Attorney Hastie ,aB 1 John R.pifnger
and Will tm W. Kirkwoad. both of whom
had l»eeD employed during two admlnis ra
tions in the treasurer' ' office I» w»s re
markable that among th. ekper enced rn n
who had had charge of 'he books, there
was not 'he slightest difference of opinion
*.* to th correctness in the manner of
k< epi rig the account.-.
M«-f.«rs. King, -lb:! «rg and White also
experienced a surprise In learning th.it
l»r Mitten's "Jumho" had never been mis
placed, bit on the contrary was in the
'.ft. '■ anu had been rigorously lnsp« :te I.
a! >ng with all other papers by the ex
porting committee. The discossten of the
law governing the county treasurer was
earnest arid at tine s quite animated, but
everyone present pre rvel the best f
humor. Mr. King and Mr. White quote 1
the statute a number of times, emphasiz
ing the provision that a treasurer must
give a re eipt showing amount and '\tate
of payment."
"I? ought to l>e observed anyway," ob
served Mr Whit* Mr Klf>g Insisted that
In carrying out the statute the tr< asur-r
would have to Come to the principle that
no money could be received tmless he
could at the time give a re. . ~it. Mr. Phelps
made one observation that caused si smile
to go around. "Hindsight is a poor thin;;,"
he said.
During the early part of the meeting Mr.
Phelps m ule a statement covering th *
points already given !h the p< ,«*-Intel!i
--pencer. showing the methods In use in the
treasurer's offl<e. there being no diff >r
ence of opinion as to what should be done
atK>ut the penalty and inter, st collected
on delinquent taxes. Since the decision of
the supreme court seys the FCIIOOI district
should have it, there I* hut one thing to
do. The county ha>- had the use of It
and should bear the expanse of computing
it so the county treasurer can transfer it
to the school funel.
Dr Mitten concurred in what Mr Phelps
raid, and while they were defending the
system in vogue during their terms Mr.
Psdden, pr sent chief <1 puty in the treas
urer's office, cam, In and said he was pur
suing the same plan, v.z: That of reviving
taxes prior to delinquency and sen'liriK out
receipts as soon thereafter is p «s!ble a: d
dating the receipts when sent out. Mr.
White, attorney for the school board. w i I
it was wrong to do so, and if the law gave
a man months In which to pay h.s taxes,
the taxpay rs had no right to put It off till
the last day. Dr Mitten asked Mr 'h I
herg what he would do if he came on the
last day a d offere.) t<> pay t<»x>s an i I s
money should be refused because a receipt
could not giv«'n him at once.
Mr. Chill tg's answer was:
"I would immediately serve notice on the
treasurer that I would not pay Interest nor
penalty."
Dr. Mitten's "Jumbo," about which so
much has been said, was brought In and
the method of keeping th'' malt account,
which Includes all payments In advance
to save penalty, interval or reiiate, was
explained.
Not only were Mr White and the rnem
!>ers of the school board surprised to
learn that Dr. Mitten's "Jumbo" had
never been lost, and that the county ex
perts hail had every hook and paper neces
sary to Investigate his term of oftlee, but
they were also axtonlshiHl to learn that
the county experts had railed attention
to Just what Douglas Young was claiming
«* his discovery. An examination of this
showed what neither Mr. Phelps nor Dr.
Mitten has denied, that payment was ac
cepted prior to delinquency and receipts
sent out as soon tis possible, every fea
ture of e« h transa tion appearing, the
date nf re -elpt, how n e»»H •d, and the
date of return of the r> ■ * tpt. the latter

Mr. King and Mr. White then made a
x tillable suggestion, which was approved
by both Mi. Phelps and Dr. Mitten. It
was that loth the itul> and the re.-.-ipt

"ALL MAKE EXCI SES 1
Charter Commissioners Avoid
the Liquor Question.
DR. TEMPLE AND HIS FRIENDS.
Th»> Sunday and Night Closing of -a
-IOODH to be nit Alternate
Proposition.
The alJTmanic chamber, in which th«
charter commission holds its .session?, was
a k nd of halting box yesterday afternoon,
with the temperance people and the sal ion
interest pitted savagely against eack other,
and the memlers of the commission an n?
a> spectators or as baekei of one or the
other of th«- contestants. Temperance was
represented by two advisers. Rev. W. H. G.
Temple and Rev. Clarke I>avi3, and the
spirit dealers by M. G. Winstoek. Everett
Smith an i G. F. Cotter:!!, of the Ana-
Saloon league, were also in the box.
Dr. Temj•> had preached a sermon on
the previous Sunday, from the text, "And
they all. with one consent. l>egan to mak«
excuses," with particular reference to th«
m< m *rs of the charter onunls- on hav ng
"dltcfcei" certain recommendations made
by the Anti-Saloon League. So he came in-
U> the dis ussion with a feeling that every
main's hand, or ear, was against h'.m be
cause of tht things he had said about them
in his sermon. It was not so. but the doc
tor apparently thought so. He said be
didn't intend to refer to them personally.
"If this commission of intelligent men—l
spoke of you as such in my pulpit." ho
said, and it was not very clear whether he
was speaking apologetically or sarcastical
ly. He made an earnest, logioal argument,
however, for all licenses to expire at the
same t.me, and for licensed places to be
closed nights and Sundays. They asked for
very little, he said.
M. G. Winstoek replied to this that the
liquor m>n had asked lor nothing at all ex-
cept to be let alone. The liquor business
was a legitimate business ana pa.d $66,0"0
a year Into the city treasury. The latter
was an unfortunate remark for Mr. W in
sto. k s side of the question, as was a
chance ref- rer.ee he male to the influence
of those who earend their bread by quench
ing of public thirst. It was much tossed
about when the commissioners got do.vn
to the work of debating the question.
The. Army Post Comes in.
Tremper moved an amendment to the
licensing t ill, in view of the establishment
of a I uited States military post here, that
no 11 -ense b«. granted to any place within
one mile of any military post within tha
limits of the city. He said that we were
practically assured of getting a military
post in the western part of the city, ani
army officers who had visited here for the
purpose of selecting a site had requested
that some such rn. asure be passed, other
wise. in their opinion, a military post with
in the city limits would be more of a curse
than a !>enertt. Josltn asked that the amend
ment be made to include any state camp,
ar.d this being done the discussion of the
bill as a whole followed.
A l'ni id or Public Sentiment.
Stein said they were all afrai l to take a
position against what is known as the moral
sentiment, and in opposing Sunday closing
of aloons and closing them at night, lie
did not do so on the ground that the city
is getting a revenue of $66,000 a year from
it. ind that the city might lose that reve
nue. He opposed it because it was an at
tempt to make people moral by the opera
tion of law. They could regulate the sell
ing of 1 epior, but they could not regulate
the Unrst of the individual. The saloon
was tYie result of a social condition. No
less an authority than Miss Willard, presi
<l« nt of the Women's Christian Temperan »
Union, had said that instead of the saloon
being the cause of poverty, poverty was
the cause of the saloon. His main conten
tion was that the good people started
wrong. Reform was individual. If e.U
I'nited States and other taxes and licenses
were taken off whisky; if it were made as
free as water, then the saloon and its evil
Influences would disappear.
Winsor suggt sted that the friends of 'em
peranee frame the measure themselves, and
that it should go to the people for adoption
as an amendment. If this bill went into
the chart< r as it stood, the whole charter
would be met t>y the opposition of the sa
loon interest.
Later on in the discussion he himself
moved an amendment to the charter that
the saloons close from 11 p. m. to 6 a. m.
week days, and all day on Sunday, and
Pr. sid< nt Andrews came down to the floor
and made one of the most earnest appeals
of his life in its ffvor. Joslin and others
w< re in favor of giving the city council
full power to deal with the subject, and
then the temperance propie could elect
their own councilmen.
"Yes, and you know that the city coun
cil would dodge the question just as wo
are dodging it," replied President An
drews, an<l it was a very apt description
of the situation and !>ore out Dr. Temple's
text, for in the end the licensing bill of tha
char 'er was not altered ex ept as to phrase
ology, and the Winsor motion was passed
as an alternative proposition, only three,
Allen, Joslin and Stein, voting against it.
A VIMT lO THE S\NT> SPIT.

tested <»n>uiid.
A part o.'the laLors of the state land com
mission yesti r iay aft* moon was a visit
to the Smith Cove sand spit, which proj>er
ty is concerned In a number of contests to

ants is the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern
