No sales tax on deposit
Purchasers of beverages in returnable containers should not be
paying sales tax on the deposit value of the container. The Legislature
in April granted exemption to such transactions which became effective
July 1, 1974. Retailers must show and bill the charge for the container
separately from the contents. The amount exempt is what the retailer
will pay for repurchasing the container. The exemption must be
allowed at the time of purchase, not when the "deposit" is returned.
Retailers must claim deductions for the exempt sales on their tax
returns, based on sales records which separately account for
transactions claimed deductible.
State traffic down in July
The Washington State Highway Department reports that July traffic
volumes on the Washington State highway system were reduced 1.4
percent from traffic volumes in July, 1973. The reductions were noted
following tabulation of results of traffic counts at 24 traffic monitoring
locations throughout Washington State. Highway Department personnel
study and tabulate readings monthly from traffic recording devices at
24 stations. Traffic on Highway 101 between Shelton and Olympia
dropped 5 percent during the month, from 21,122 in 1973 to 20,053
this year.
June bond sales show increase
State of Washington sales of savings bonds in the month of June
were $6,612,602, an increase of 6.24 percent from June 1973 sales of
$6,223,788, according to Harry James, Mason County volunteer
chairman. Sales in Mason County for the first six months of 1974
amounted to $139,564.
Highway deaths drop 16.6%
Washington's mileage death rate for the first six months of 1974
decreased I 1.9 percent from the corresponding period a year ago. The
number of fatalities for the same period was down 16.6 percent, while
miles traveled dropped 5.6 percent. This year the number of deaths per
100 million miles of travel was 2.89 through June, compared with 3.28
for the first six months of 1973. Deaths were down from 373 a year
ago to 311 this year. (In J uly there were 75 traffic fatalities compared
with 68 for the same month of 1973.)

Park hazards bring warning
Roger W. Allin, Superintendent of Olympic National Park, reported
that hikers venturing into the park's back country should be prepared
to cope with hazards created by heavy and late snow cover and
excessive stream runoff. Most of the high passes and upper slopes above
4,500 feet elevation should not be attempted by persons inexperienced
in snow travel and the use of ice axes. Details on conditions in specific
areas can be obtained by either writing to Back County Information,

Barron stated his reasons for
entering the campaign:
'Tm tired of seeing the sphere
of political control get bigger and
bigger while the individual's
control over his own life is eroded
and eventually disappears, it is
time to replace politicians who
are interested only in gaining
political power with legislators
who will protect individual
Life's a jest
Life 's a jest, and all things Keep Washington Green Girl:
show it;
1 thought so once, and now 1
knowit. JohnGay Fair inspires Smokey
to compose a poem
By Sheryl Sund and
Randy Endicott
Smokey the Bear took time
out from his busy fire prevention
schedule to attend the Mason
County Fair. He enjoyed helping
to spread the Keep Washington
Green message and was inspired
to write this poem about his
rewarding experience.
While prowling through the woods
one day,
A pretty maiden chanced my way.
And just as i would sniff the air,
She bid me come and see the fair.
"But who would then my forest
keep?
Upon my trees a fire might
creep."
"Twill only be three days," said
she.
"The ranger's eyes are on each
tree."
So from the woods 1 did depart.
Off to the fair - can't wait to
start!
1 shan't regret it to this day.
Loved I the kids that came my
way.
I'd ask to keep my forests green.
"Don't play with matches," !
would say.
"Gather litter while ye may.
Smokey's helpers you can be;
Keep the woods from fire, free."
Back in the woods, so fresh and
clean,
1 ask, our state, you will keep
green.
I won't forget the county fair.
Will you remember Smokey Bear?
Market place of ideas
This nation was conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the
principle - among others -- that
honest men may honestly
disagree; that if they all say what
they think, a majority of the
people will be able to distinguish
truth from error; that in the
competition of the market place
of ideas, the sounder ideas will in
the long run win out.

Last week Claud and Anita

and Ross Dams and enjoyed a full
course family-style dinner at the
company's mess hall in
Newhalem.
Last week five Boy Scouts

rights."
Barron, since founding the
Libertarian Party of Washington
State in 1972 has been active
politically on both the local and
national levels. He was a delegate
to the recent national Libertarian
convention in Dallas.
Professionally he is a machinist
and a logger.
During his campaign Barron
will emphasize issues such as the
following:
"A businessman is an
individual and property owner. As
such, the way he runs his
business, the policies he chooses,
and what wages he pays are
between him, his employees, and
his customers. Such things as
OSHA, WISHA, FPA, etc. should
be repealed.
"As long as you pay for your
own mistakes, what you do with
your life is your business. Some
people, mostly in government,
think that they have the right to
run your life. ! know they don't.
"'If government can tell you
what you can and can't do on
your property, who really owns
it? Will the bureaucrat who
dictates what you can do, pay the
taxes on your land? ! will always
support the right of the individual
to use his property as he sees fit,
free of government regulation. I
am firmly against zoning laws and
the Shoreline Management Act."
