THEN. P. CASE utors of the state are oN rY pre tors of the sts 2 to be commended for their stand in fighting the attempts of the Northern Pacific railroad to regain $1,000,000 paid in taxes during the past two years They would be subject to even greater commendation should they attempt to get at the real bottom of the N, P. tax case. Recent disclosures made at Olympia that the employes of the railroad prac- tically fixed the assessment values upon which the state laid its taxes smelled to high heaven. If any juggling of the Northern Pa- cific’s taxes is to be done, it is the firm belief of the public that the interests of justice would much better be served if they went up instead of down. At least the public, in arriving at a conclusion, would appreciate being per- mitted to look in on the ground floor and see what it is that permits such wheels to go around. FRESH WATER HARBOR NOTHER stepping stone in Seattle's growth has been cemented into place with the purchase of the $600,000 Great Northern freight terminal at the south end of Lake Union. Bigger even than the fact that it will benefit the city as a whole is the effect this terminal will have on building up Seattle’s “inland harbor The industrial waterfront on Lakes Union and Washington, made possible by the building of the canal, has grown up comparatively slowly because, in the years since the canal was built, there has been room to spare on our salt water side. The transcontinental railroad terminal, on Lake Union, will be a big factor in aiding the quick development of this fresh water harbor. A CHALLENGE TO LAW AND ORDER (From the Vancouver, B. C., Sun) OM the law courts of this province, during the past few days, have come echoes of the same tendency to dally with criminals that is corrupting justice in United States. From Seattle, during the past three months, have come echoes of a crime or- ganization that constitute a challenge to society. There is operating down there across the line one of the most atrocious and highly-organized crime gangs that has ever been formed. Their influence has even been thrown around federal offices, and reports of the bribery of officials are persistent. This man Johnson, now waiting trial in Oakalla, had such a contempt for law and the forces of law that, three days after he had broken jail, he was running around with a gun, holding up banks. This utter contempt these criminals have for law is a challenge, not only to Seattle, but to Vancouver, because the bank holdups and murders committed here in the last two years, in almost every case, have been planned by that gang operating out of Seattle. If Vancouver is not going to become another crime-ridden Chicago, British Co- lumbia has got to pull up sharply on all these re-trials, appeals and sentimental mawkishness. And British Columbia courts must accept the challenge of this Seattle crime gang by closing down defi- nitely on the technical balderdash, sup- Q When did the Charleston, South { Carolina, earthquake occur, and how | | much damage did it do? | A, It occurred on August $1, 1856.

Sandow, at 58, was already an old man. The present generation knows him, if at all, only tradition of a distant past. And yet, not old, for any one but an athlete.

Organized labor has a selfish reason | | for fighting the system that exploits chil- dren—but it is enlightened selfishness. Organized labor naturally does not desire to compete with the children of the poor. It knows the effect of such competition on wages. But it is only asking, on its own behalf, for the privilege of doing this work for the children, the pri | supporting its own children, of § | them the playtime of life and of giving | | | them an education that will help them to make the most of their adult yea That | may be selfishness, but it is of a kind | that is needed in this peculiarly mercen- | ary moment in our national history.
