TIME TO RETRENCH
In spite of the excellent crop pros
pects there is no disguising the fact
that the general conditions of in
dustry and commerce compel econ
omy in all directions, and particular
'> In the matter of providing for
public expenditures next year. Now
is the time to Institute a policy of
retrenchment to be amplified and
made more effective by the legis
lature which is to meet in January.
It is the alternate year when the
assessments of real property are re
adjusted an,) an act of the 1813 leg
islature provides that all property
shall be assessed at "not to exceed
50 per cent of it. true value."
The same act prescribes that the
title cash value shall be that value
at which th,. property would be
taken in payment of a just debt from
ft solvent debtor, Every taxpayer,
before the equalization is concluded
by the county hoards, should know
whether his property is assessed at
not more than half its value, as de
termined by the formula written Into
the law
The tim to protest against exces
sive appraisement, however, is dur
ing the three weeks' session of the
equalizing hoards In August.
While-it is prudent to scrutinise
the assessments with a view to en
forcing equality, a reasonable reduc
tion of taxes will depend on a proper
curtailment of the taxes. Agitation
in some counties has already taken
the form of a demand by representa
tives of taxpayers' leagues for a
sweeping reduction of at least 25 per
cent of the sum total of this year's
collections.
Taking the state as a whole, a re
duction of one-quarter of the sum
total of taxes voted by the levying
boards last fall could be made with
out any embarrassment to govern
ment and without imposing hard
ship on any class of citizens. The
truth is that increase of taxation the
three years past has been prodigal
in the extreme.
During that brief period, in
which we have witnessed an abate
ment of industrial development and
a distinct decline in land values, the
direct taxes of the state have in
creased from $27,083,980 to $38,
--239,686, or, in exact amount, $11,
--155,705.
For the same three years the as
sessed valuation of state property
against which these taxes are levied
has increased from $906,247,944
to $1,014,475,027, or only $108,
--227,083.
In short, for the last three years,
taxes have augmented 41.19 per
rent, while during the same period
the total valuation against which
these taxes have been levied has in
creased only 11.94 per cent.
To make the comparison more ef
fective it is only necessary to con
sider the growth of population.
Adopting the three years' increase of
the school census, which Is so search
ingly made in the interest of the
school taxes, and multiplying it by
the ratio of population in the coun
ties, as between the school census
and federal census of 1890, we have
a total resident population in the
state of 1,218,626, as against the
national census total of 1,141,990 in
1890, which is a gain of 76,636, or
a percentage increase of 6.71.
in order to illustrate better the
madness of the pace at which taxes
are piling up let us recapitulate the
foregoing facts with respect to the
experience of the last three years:
Per Cent
Increase of population 6.71
Increase of assessed valuation . 1.94
Increase of taxes 41.19
Expressed in another form, the
ratio of increase of taxes in three
years has been nearly three and a
half times greater than the increase
of assessed valuation, and six and a
quarter times greater than the .ratio
of increase in population. —E. D.
Cowen in Spokesman-Review.

But as week after week went by,
any' many well-known and highly -

freely, and their statements were

was no longer room for doubt. Pull

true." Well, here is just such an
other statement, and it comes from
Pullman.
Mrs, W. 11. Hammond. 501 Para- I
disc St., Pullman, says: "I had a
great deal of trouble with my kid
neys. I suffered from a dull, nag
ging pain across my back, which
bothered me when I was doing my
work. The least exertion tired me I
and I didn't have much ambition,
My kidneys were irregular in action
and tlie kidney secretions wore un
natural. I saw Doan's Kidney Tills
advertised in the paper and tried
them. The first box relieved me so
much, that I used three boxes In all.
1 was cured. Once in awhile since
then, I have used 1 loan's Kidnov
Pills and have always had good re
suits. 1 have great confidence in-
Doan's Kidney Pills and gladly con
firm the endorsement l have given
them before."
