BOARD OF EQUALIZATION BENDS
THE KNEE TO THE TALL TOWER
Sold, paid for and delivered!
These are the men who have earned
the opproblum of all honest citizens
who despise dishonesty and Insist
upon the punishment of thieves:
jfWllllam M. Deaen, chairman board
of county commissioners.
John H. Collins, board of county
commissioners.
George H. Wallls, clerk In county
auditor's office.
N. 8. Pratt, city councilman, Fifth
ward.
J. B. I.lndeley, city councilman,
Fourth ward.
George fl. Koontz, city councilman.
First ward.
These men were appointed members
of the board of equalisation for the
sole purpose of rutting down the as
sessments on the property of William
H. Cowles, owner of the Spokesman-
Review and the Evening Chronicle.
Before the Ink was dry on the notices
of appointment the boast was made
In the editorial rooms of the Spokes
man-Hevlew that the board had been
appointed to cut down the Cowles as
sessments.
The further boast was made that
all men willing to serve on the board
of equalisation were first subjected
to the Cowles test — they were nsked
how much they wanted for doing the
bidding of the owner of the yoke and
WHO IS THE
BIGGEST THIEF?
The water meter gang is getting
ready to do business at a goodly
profit. Already the men of which
Nelson W. Durham is a part have
created a monopoly on water meters
by Instructing Fossil P. Weymouth,
superintendent of the water depart-1
ment, to allow but one make of met
ers to be put Into service.
The meter selected by the water
meter gang Is the CroWS. WStSt meter.
This meter is handled through llol
ley, Mason, Marks A Co.
. If a property owner wants to or
dsM' a Crown meter through Holley,
M;ison, Maiks & Co, he will be quot
ed a price of $32 for the meter, to
which must he added the combina
tion's price of $r, for Installing It.
- j
If the meter Is ordered through Wey
mouth, a price of $23 for the meter
is charged with $5 for Installing It
In this manner the consumers are
forced to order the one make of
meter through the water department
or pay a big bonus.
Now to show just how much of
a graft there Is in the arbitrary

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON* SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1904.
By dictating the appointment of
the board of collaboration William

of Spokane county taxes on the sum
of $28,375. How much Of this
money went to members of the board
of collaboration and how much went
into the pockets of William 11.
Cowles?
To Illustrate how flagrant the steal
Is are given herewith a few figures;
Some months ago representatives
of a syndicate offered William H.
Cowles a certified check for $350,000
as a purchase price for the Spokes
man-Review. Although tentatively
accepting the proposition before the
check was produced, Mr. Cowles rais
ed the sale price of the Review to
$500,000. Not a newspaper publisher
in the country would value the
Spokesman-Review at less than $100,-
--000. Not one would value the Chron
icle plant at less than $200,000.
The Spokane Press is assessed at
$2985. The Spokane Chronicle was
assessed at $3770.
Yesterday the Chronicle printed an
edition of 20 pages. The Press print

himself to have the assessment re

are beginning to arrive and head
quarters have assumed an air of ac

dress and the streets are further en
livened by the playing of bands
brought by several delegations.
With less than half the delegates
on the scene, the fight for the per

assuming definite shape. Salt Lake
and Denver are the only real con

have offered sites for a building and
large sums of money for the con

seems to have the lead.
While there is a strong sentiment
in favor of having a permanent loca

states, much opposition is being
shown by representatives from other
parts of the country, especially from
this coast and from the eastern
states. Th» Texas d«)»rates are also
