Poindexter and Rockwell Lead Spokane Congressional Campaign
Judge Miles Poindexter spoke in Union Park about railroad taxation and the state tax commission. He criticized the board of equalization for repeatedly lowering railroad property valuations while the tax commission claimed underassessment of public properties. Poindexter tied these issues to rival candidate T. D. Rockwell and noted the new power given to the tax commission by the legislature.

An award of 550 dollars may be invalid, and settlement terms remain unclear as parties argue over ownership and descriptions. In a separate item, Walla Walla reports a jail break thwarted, with prisoners held on bread and water until suspects are named.
