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.

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.

Law enforcement is his profession -- not his hobby. Dan McNair COMMITTEE TO RE-ELECT SHERIFF McNAIR, ED PILAND, CHAIRMAN 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.
