We've done a lot of talking about taxes the last six months. And considerable cussing. The thing to do now is to focus all the accumulated talk and all the accumulated thought and all the accumulated feeling we have on the subject where it may do some good. Where is that? Why, on the governor’s tax investigation com- mttee. When? Tomorrow, 10:30 a. m. Where? At-the com- mittee’s headquarters, 512 Hinckley building. : Representatives of organizations and individuals are invited by the committee to present their faets, their-ideas and _ their plans. Out of all the material gathered it is hoped to work a rec- ommendation for new laws that shall reform our present crazy- quilt system and equalize the burden of governmental costs. An “end devoutly to be wished. Anything that YOU can do to help realize it ought to be done promptly and cheerfully. Remember the place and the hour.

She kept her secret and carried it and her little one inside these walls whose gatos are ever open, and where these sisters with loving hands tend and nourish the little one while still with her secret the mother, clear of con- sctence, takes her place in the world jand goes straight, and when her child comes with a name she can look on. it with the eyes of a mother, Erie, Mdlicane could have kept her secret and her little one be where God wished it, There are such places everywhere to care for such people, and I trust and hope | that any young girl shi i not follow | Erie's path, but take the one I men- pion and still keep her secret.

The article carries a clear imputation of bad faith on the part of the city towards tour. ists, and for that reason calls for a statement of the facts A nearch of the records of the Ellensburg police court shows that the only time five or more persons were fined in one day for violations of the traffic ordinance was on July 23, 1921, on which day seven persons were"*o fined, and every one of them was either a resident of the city or @f its immediate vicinity.
