By ev ery measure real property has borne an undue proportion of the burdens of government in this state.-It suffers from two facts: real property is uuigioie, au - concealed, usually its value is easily computed; and it cannot be moved from one county or state to another to escape tax- ation. i :..-. f . When March 1st comes round flocks of sheep, may be "over in Idaho", diamonds and notes go into hiding. But the farm is there, and the home and the factory and the store building. So the assessor marks them down at a certain value and they are taxed. But how far have we gone in just a few years? In 1920 and in 1922 the state was voting on the sin gle tax" which would have put all taxation upon the land. This year the tax leagues have been rebellious because the legisla ture did not enact the Mott resolution which would have pro hibited all state taxes on real property. While both proposals were defeated the fact that they enjoyed a considerable fol lowing shows the wide swings of sentiment in this state. The Statesman has strongly supported taxation of in tangibles and of incomes both as a measure of justice and as a relief for the excessive burden on real property. But we think the tax leagues are making a mistake in urging a "tax strike when the last half of taxes fall due. First, because there is no chance that the courts would void the tax levies duly made ; and second because the operation of the new tax laws is going to give the farmers the relief they have been clamorous for. Already it is announced that the state tax levy win be reduced from 6V2 mills to 3 mills for next year; and that within a few years the direct tax on property for state I purposes will be done away with altogether or reduced to an insignificant amount. The battle now is to protect these laws : and not to "defy the tax collector for past injustices.? , The argument for a tax -strike is that the courts might declarethe property tax invalid because o the inequalities of taxation. But we do not finct anything in the constitution which requires that taxes be levied equally on all property. Two taxation amendments were adopted by vote of the people June 4, 1917: One is Section 32 of article I: lis I , "NOHax or duty shall be Imposed without the consent of the people or their representatives in the legislative assembly; and all taxation shall be uniform on the same class of subjects with in the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax." . This merely requires that the sarfle rate of taxation shall apply on the same class of property and by omission permits "the legislature to establish different rateson different classes of property. i The second section is no. one of article IX : "The legislative assembly shall, and the people through the initiative may, provide by law uniform rules of assessment and taxation. All taxes shall be levied and collected under general laws operating uniformly throughout the state. '. There is nothing iff this which requires that taxation be "equal". We quote from the constitution, not to prejudge the case-of the tax leagues, nor to anticipate the decision of the ... courts; but to point out the very doubtful ground a person lias to stand on if he refuses to pay his taxes in hope that the v -court may later void the tax levy. ' - What happens if taxes are not paid? Very quickly the TJrocesses of , government are stopped. Teachers are unable ' to cash their warrants. Itoad work must be abandoned unless the men will take warrants for which there is no sale. Bond . issues, previously voted by the people, go to default and the credit of the district or county is ruined. We believe that crood citizens of all classes will nav their taxes: real property taxes, intangibles taxes,' income and ex cise and corporation taxes. If they feel there is injustice they may of course pay under protest and appeal to the courts for redress. Or what is better they may go to the legislature and ' present their case and secure a modification of the tar laws. . That is what, the grange did at the last session. The farmers . will act on better counsel if they pay their taxes wherever possible, and see to it that the new tax law are protected in uie wuns anu in mc icgisuiure. . . f - A- Jails and Ideas ' mHE BolpffZcase just decided in. the state supreme court JL belongs in thatjtwihght , and speech clashes with the" - " home of f ree; speech ; actually w wummuuai luuu in ecuuouues or politics. From the standpoint of public policy (without regard to the legal aspects of the case) we incline to agree with Justice Belt wBo dissented from the majority view and felt that it was wrong to punish Boloff for criminal syndicalism. The justice has in the following paragraph given a terse summary of the implications of the Boloff case : . "The criminal syndicalism act was enacted during the late World war as a soft of emergency measure. To extend Its appli cation to a poor. Ignorant sewer digger who entertains erroneous Ideas concerning governmental affairs and to. imprison him in the penitentiary for a period of ltt years is fa my pinion, not In keeping with the proper administration of Justice. Throughout the centuries jails have never been able to kill ideas. It is doubt- - tul if they can do so in this modern and turbulent age, The judge might have gone farther and made the com ment that such imprisonment becomes a martyrdom and helps to spread the virus of antagonism to the existing social and politicalorder.

Being interested In the subject of municipal water sup ply, I recently wrote to the water department of Tacoma 1 for infor mation regarding the source l of supply In that city. Saturday af ternoon, I received: from Ira ' S. Davisson, commissioner of public utilities for Tacoma, full data about their water supply. ' : I As disclosed by Mr. Davison's letter, the- facts' are as! follows: Up to 1912, Tacoma obtained its supply from wells and springs. In that year, the city put in a grav ity system and tapped Green RIt er about 40 miles east of the city in the Cascade mountains. From this source a supply of 40.008.000 gallons per day was obtained. Owing to the fact that the ! pipe line was built of wood, this source proved unsatisfactory,, on account of the heavy expense to Which the city was put fori maintenance. The quality of the water obtained from Green river was satisfactory, and the supply was adequati for a Xew years. The city of . Tacoma is now engaged in I replacing; the wood pipe line to the Green river head-works with a steel and eon- crete line, at a cost 000.000. of about 2.- About five years ago, in order to augment Its water supplyj the city dug four or five more wells, in 1930, the city dug four Addi tional wells. In Davison's letter. nothing is said about the quality of the water from these wells. One must assume it la satisfactory; otherwise the city would not ' be digging more wells. Hence, for the present, Tacoma obtains its water from Green river and about a dozen or more Wells. Mr. Davisson's letter states that the water is pumped from these wells at a nominal cost, owing to the low rates for electricity! la that city. j Mr. Davisson's letter shows that Tacoma did ; not find the well system "inadequate, un- dependable and unduly expensive to operate in comparison with a gravity system". On the con trary, after Tacoma Installed Its gravity system and found it ' ex pensive" and "Inadequate", ae7 did not enlarge the gravity sys tem br "spending millions fori ad ditions", but reverted to the WU system, because It was cheeper to InstaU and operate, ; "Watch Tacoma! grow" Is an old slogan, as ; most everyone knows. Tacoma still expect to grow In the future, more rapidly than in the past. With a, view to meet this future growth and to supply water for Industries In the city which requlrsi large quanti ties of water continuously.!! in 1928. the city acquired Lake Kapowsin, located about i 20 miles from the cityj of the Cascade foothills, together Iwith the right to divert Into thU lake, water from the Puyallup river. This water will be brought to the fcity through steel pipe iUnes and when fully developed wlU prgylde about 200,000,000 gallons per day. This development will not be under taken until the growth of the city makes It necessary to provide a large increase in its water supply.' i B. W. Macy. Editor Statesman:: j Now and then I meet meal or hear of some who have taken Christmas trees to California and lost money on them. . San Fran cisco and other northern Califor nia towns are flooded over by men who get their' orders for, trees In the summer. . In southern California condi tions are different; Most men who take trees to California stop in th north part of the state.

Silver Falls park: " i : Tha writer proposes, that the new name. Silver Creek Falls park is not appropriate. The word creek tolays It down. Its Importance is worthy of be ing played up. Creek is apt to convey the idea of a trickling little stream, meandering through a small field or meadow. S S . ! Each one of the 10 Silver falls hurls down a considerable vol ume of water; makes a apectaj'e worth going far to see. During a -large part of the year, several of them hurtle into space masses that have the magnitude of riv ers. The biggest one makes i a sheer plunge of 186 feet. The argentine flood of the North fall drops 141 feet." The Winter fall makes a double leap aggregating 198 feet.- ' i : v' v ' i I !

' They- had heard no sound of ap proaching footsteps. It might al most have been a ghost that had suddenly materialised out of the mist-enfolded night.! so silently had that figure come so silent and motionless still, as the white staring face confronted - those startled eyes within the room. , Not! the Frank Severn whom Jim had last seen two years ago, so terribly changed was that haggard face that the light picked out from the blurred dimness. The, features might; have been those of a man sleep-walking or moving under the influence of a drug, curiously blank! aa they seemed of all ex pression. The yes with their fixed stara.1 under the disordered mass of black hair, rested on Jim Wyn ter as .If without the faintest gleam of recognition. The latter'a eagercry of his name had brought noi. trace ot any emotion, no change to that strangely mask-like face. Nrank Frank!" 1 i L With the cry breaking from him again!, Jim dragging himself out of that first momentary shock of surprise, essayed in a fever of im patient haste to push up the low er ssBh of the window. j ; - In 'that same moment this door had been flung open and San t had burst, into the room, startled by that excited cry from within of Frank Severn's name. ! . - Horror .-! ' , Almost on the threshhold the man j paused arrested, ' his face ghastly and white as paper, as In sudden: appalled horror he real ized that what Martin had Just told was the truth, as he too saw those! eyes staring in from the mist outside. ;.;! -I ! :. j j. j Wfth a queer choking cry Sant seemed suddenly to crumple ,up. With; his hand going spasmodically to his heart, the big burly figure swayed for a moment unsteadily, would have fallen but that there was a chair near into which he dropped. And behind htm an ashen-faced Martin, looking as if his nerve were gone, cried oit half hysterically as he pointed a shak ing hand at the window: j "What did I say? Wasn't I right?" j There was a panic of consterna tion In his eyes. In a stride Martell was by his side., gripping the unnerved man's arm wagningiy. "Silence, you hysterical fool!' be whispered harshly, with a meaning gleam In the dark eyes bent I menacingly on that face of panic. Pull yourself , together, man! : , j It was as bad a moment no doubt for Martell as for his two accomplices, this - sudden appari tion! of the "victim of their evil plot.) Frank Severn unaccountably broken free, whose first! words would be to denounce the guilty meni what, .short of a miracle, Could save them now? Rut n with! that grim realization to be racea Marten could still keep his nerve to silence his fellowj rogue's panic-loosened tongue. i "What's the matter with this winuowi It won't , open!"' cried Jim In angry Impatience, as he ex erted all his strength to push up the lower sash. , f It; seemed as Immovably un- yieiaing as if it had beeni wedged on the outside Bill's added efforts availed nothing. The. window-remained fast shut. j The figure outside, still; with no gleam of recognition of his friends in that face so strangely I drained of all expression, hsd ! already drawn back out of tha radius of mist-blurred light, merged once again into! the deep shadows be hind that closed about it like a gray engulfing sea, drowning it from sight. . 1 , Jim abandoned the attempt to get the window open; he did hot rislc wasting time on thev other window; ha raced from theroom, followed by Bill Grayson.

It's dear en ough now what Martin's ; words meant that Frank had escaped from the place where they've .been keeping him a prisoner and that place Isn't far from Beggar' Court!" ; "San't heart's been groggy , for some time; no wonder it played him up Just nOw when he saw Sev ern's face at the window !" Like the writing" on the wall for him," said BUI, Jiis jmouth grim. "They certainly gave themselves away tonight, he and Martin!" But where had Severn vanished and why had he vanished? - "Frank Frank. This is Jim Wynter. Where 'are you, Frank? Jim cried out (loudly as they ran 'round the side of the house. No answering voice out of the baffling darkness. No sign of the man who had i come and vanished again like- a ghost. No sound of retreating footsteps. It was bewildering to Jim Wyn ter and Bill. Why had Severn, ap parently fled? He had seen his friends here as well as his ene- mies-v-must , have known that his enemies were powerless now. Jim remembered that strangely vacant face, so changed, so unlike Sev ern's face; had all the suffering he must hare undergone turned his brain for the time? Or since he had found Sant, whom he had trusted, a traitor, did he mistrust even his other, friends now? i Then suddenly, . as they raced forward, with tha thia spectra sea-mist creeping up the estuary to make their search of the grounds an exasperating game ot blind man's bluff, a cy broke from BUI Grayson. "Listen, there's someone there!" A sudden sound of movement had reached Ithem from some where not far away. They ran in the direction whence it seemed to coma. Behind them they could hear hurrying; following footsteps. Probably Martell's. Martell was the only one of those guilty three who had kept his nerve. i Dimly head of them out of the thia damp mist a figure began to take shape to their eyas and a voice hailed them, but not Frank Severa's voice !
