POLITICAL POT PIE It has been said that the members of the house of representatives are inclined to turn Speaker Meigs down for the position, which he filled at the regular session and that the "drys" will retaliate by electing a new president instead of Senator Ruth, they, so they claim, being able to do so, owing to the fact that they have gained one supporter to their cause since the adjournment of the regular session. All of this means a long wrangling session and little of anything beneficial for the state will be accomplished. In other words, both factions will go to the legislature prepared to rule or ruin and if there be any shortcomings on the part of any of the state employes they will be permitted to remain in statu quo because there is a difference between the factions in the legislature. Granted, it was the Wilsonites that forced the investigation there is no doubt but that sufficient evidence has been brought out to convince the most anti-radical Wilson man that the state has lost thousands of dollars by unscruplous officials and equally as many more by careless officials. It is, therefore, the duty of the respective members of the legislature to look the matter square in the face and start in to cleaning house with a vengeance. Senator Ruth who bitterly opposed the resolution to investigate the state officials declared after the committee had been in session but a few days that, "in the light of the evidence that had been brought out by the committee, I do not see how any member of the legislature could do other than vote to impeach both Nichols and Schively and I therefore advise them both to resign." He might have been mistaken, but whether mistaken or not those were his thoughts at that time and the voters all over the state feel just as Senator Ruth expressed himself, and it is therefore the duty of the members to forget all factional differences and go to the work as though they wanted the tax payers to get a square deal. If its intention of the members to go to the legislature, which has been called in extra session, for the purpose of evening up old political scores instead of settling the question one way or the other for which it was assembled, then they will do more to drive the Republican party out of power in this state than have the alleged grafting state officials and heads of state institutions. The old organization should be permitted to stand and the members go to work just like they meant to do the square thing by the tax payers. While this state is overwhelmingly Republican in sentiment yet it is not so overwhelmingly so that the voters cannot turn it over to the Democratic party just as did the voters in Pennsylvania years age when the Republican party became so corrupt. Though the state officials were elected by something like 300,000 plurality, yet they were turned out and Democrats elected by some 100,000 plurality. The laws passed by the last general assembly, which have just become operative, should be let alone. If the "wets" or "drys" in the legislature begin to monkey with the local option law instead of looking into the alleged grafting methods that have been operated in this state, then such members should be severely rebuked next year if they ask for re-election. The state's honor is at stake at this writing and no power save the legislature can give it a clear title, and this thing the legislature should do, and that too, without quibbling over the point as to whether it will politically help the "wets" or the "drys." It has already been predicted that the coming extra session of the legislature will be the dirtiest political mess ever before handed out to the tax payers, but it is to be hoped that this prediction will not prove true, but that the members will work in perfect harmony in ferreting out any wrong doing that any one may have committed to the detriment of the state or the tax payers. So sure are some of the members that the extra session will result in a Kill Kiney cat fight that they are predicting that it will last not less than ninety days, and perhaps even longer. That may sound good to the man that desires to rule or ruin, but it does not sound very good to the tax payers, who are already groaning under the excessive load of taxation. For fome reason it is more expensive to own property in the state of Washington than to rent it, and this is especially true in Seattle, and in answer to why it is so, the answer is because the state, county and city officials are all more or less troubled with professional graftitis, and steal the government blind from the state house to the county precinct. "I thought of building me a home," said a well known business man one day this week, "but after figuring it over I see that the taxes and city improve- SEATTLE. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1909 JOHN WOODING JOHN WOODING ments will make the property cost me not less than $100 per month, and I can rent the other fellow's property for much less than that, and I have therefore changed my mind and will build no home." As this man has spoken so think hundreds and perhaps thousands, and it is all due to the fact that taxes and assessments in Seattle are so unreasonable high, and that is due to the fact that, the grafter and the idler for the most part always hold the official positions and what the grafter fails to steal the idler permits to go to ruin. Clean house, Mr. Representative. Nursing a public teat is becoming so common to the average young man that it is something of a second nature to him. He is first boosted in some petty position by either his friends or his relatives and he gets a taste of it; then he with the aid of his relatives begins a systematic planning to keep in office forever and one day after, if possible, and it seems to be possible or he at least stays in office till he goes to prison. He is dropped out of one office to make way for another gang, but he has a regular chain and he bobs up in another office a few days thereafter, and thus continues to nurse a public teat. These chronic office seekers grow gray in the public service and know no more than if they had never been in public life. Once he becomes a fixture in the public service duty ceases to be a virtue to him, but to do just as little as possible and yet hold the place is his only object in office. After long service for many months or years serving the public he learns how to lop off a few dimes here and there and sooner or later he develops into a professional grafer and he may run on for many years without detection unless he gets to living too fast and wants the money in lump lots, in which case he ends his brilliant career with a dull sickening thud and the penitentiary is the end of his career. The young man who starts out to live at the public's expense is treading a dangerous road and the sooner he right about faces the better for him. The announcement that the legislature of the state would be called in extra session had hardly been made before fellows that you had not seen since the regular session adjourned showed up on the streets with smiling faces and began to talk state politics. They evidently had not hit a tap since the adjournment or if they were working they dropped it like a hot brick when a legislative job seemed to be in sight, all of which very conclusively proves that, it is worth a good deal more to hold a public position than a private one and yet the salary is no larger, which must mean that the graft is greater. For nearly years Samuel H. Piles, of Seattle, has been a member of the United States senate and, if in that time he has set the world on fire no one but himself seems to be aware of the fact. At the time he was selected to the senate he publicly announced to the citizens of King county, "If I do not get the Lake Washington canal in action before it is time to give me a second term, I will not ask for a second election, but so sure am I of accomplishing this. I now announce that APR 29 1952 Volume XVI, Number 3. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher I will be a member of the United States senate for the next twenty-four years." If Senator Piles meant what he said he is not entitled to any consideration for reelection for the Lake Washington canal has not moved up a single peg since he has been in the senate. In fact King county has fared no better under Senator Piles than it did when Addison G. Foster was in the senate. Senator Piles has not only not succeeded in doing anything for King county, but he has managed to oppose everything the local Republican organization wanted, and as a result he will meet opposition next year in the Republican organization where he should find unanimous support. Speaking about being at variance with the local Republican organization reminds the writer that Senator Piles has been requested to support the Hon. John Wooding, of Auburn, for United States marshal to succeed C. B. Hopkins, whose term expires within a few days, but to their prayers he has turned a deaf ear and will recomend James C. Drake, a Tacoma Democrat, instead of Wooding. Evidently Mr. Piles figures it out that he got the money end of his support from J. D. Farrel, a life long Democrat, and he is morally obligated to recommend for federal positions such persons, whether Republican or Democrat, that he—Farrel, recommends to him, Senator Piles. King county's Republican Central Committee was unanimous in its endorsement of Mr. Wooding, but that has no effect with Senator Piles, and he laconically wires to the supporters of Wooding, "Drake will be the man." Might makes right, but unless you have the perfect assurance of always possessing might you can figure it out that you are in line to travel a mighty rocky road. James W. Slayden, who is seeking the speakership of the extra session of the legislature of this state, which convenes June 23rd, hails from the thirty-sixth representative district and is Republican in politics. He is a native of Nashville, Tennessee, but when a boy moved to Kentucky with his parents and from there to Wichita, Kansas where he received his education. He moved to Tacoma in 1889, where he resided until 1896 when he was seized with the Alaska gold fever. He was in Dawson City for five years. He returned to Tacoma in 1900 and again went into business and is at present president of the Northwestern Wooden Ware Company. He was a strong candidate for the speakership at the regular session, but failed. He was a useful member in the legislature and made so many warm friends that he feels almost certain of election at this time. It is claimed that he has already fifty pledged to support him, which includes two-thirds of the King county delegation, which gave Meigs his chief support in the fight for the speakership last winter. That Mr. Slayden is a broad guaged man was shown in his attitude toward the appropriation in the legislature, in which King county was personally interested, he going down the line with Chairman Renick of the appropriations committee. Do not however, overlook the fact, dear reader, that Speaker Meigs is not letting the grass grow under his feet in the contest. Both he and his friends are working like dick nailers to keep the old organization in tact and they claim they already have a sufficient number of votes to do so with. THE CAYTON HOUSE 2107 EAST JAMES STREET --- 8 Monument to Dunbar the Negro Poet It counts for more than we are apt to think that here and there, among the Negro race, the higher order of literary and administrative genius can make itself known. On the 26th of this month, a monument is to be unveiled in Dayton, Ohio, to the memory of the dead Negro poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who may be appropriately called the Black Burns of lyric song. Like Burns he lifted his native patois into the position of a rude but extremely musical classic, and like Burns has given to the world some songs of pathos and melancholy humor that shall never die. Somewhere we have seen the speculation that the Negro brain when given a chance can span the distance between savaregy and the highest limits of white intellectuality in a remarkably brief time, and that there is promise in it of the development of genius, especially in the line of lyrical and musical susceptibility in advance of anything we have as yet known. The Death Song of Dunbar has all the music and pathos even surpassing that of Tennyson's Crossing the Bar. It is well for his friends to entertain the suggestion of inscribing a stanza of this poem over the dead poet's tomb. All in all the Negro mind has no reason to despair of reaping finally its due award of merit, where in any line of honorable effort it will make its merit known. There are not wanting numerous examples of this al- Hundreds of inquiries are being made as to the treatment accorded Afro-Americans on the grounds of the A. Y, P. Exposition. while it is impossible to make personal replies to all such inquiries THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is in position to state for the benefit of such persons that the Negro fares just as well as the white man on the grounds In most of the expositions that have been held in this country there is no denying the fact the black man was discriminated against, but that is not true of the Seattle Exposition. The managers and the citizens desire to make the Big Show a success and all propose to see that every visitor is given a square deal. There are about 200 Afro-Americans employed on the grounds and if they are not being accorded proper treatment, they are keeping quiet about it, and black folk do not do that way very long. Seattle does not do things by halves and if you feel like coming to see the show Seattle will welcome you. How about accommodations in the city? There will be no more trouble about that than your reception on the grounds Thus far we have heard none of the larger and more expensive hotels closing their doors against the Negro, if you have the price—this is said advisedly—you can get a room in the best hotel in the city. Thinking that a majority of the Afro-Americans would prefer to stop with people of their THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM. own class, a number of the local Afro-Americans have prepared themselves to accommodate the visitors and thus make it possible for them to visit the fair and spend a week or so in Seattle, and yet not pay exorbitant prices. Among those who have done so are Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton and Mrs. M. A. Teister, who have fitted up a number of rooms at the corner of Twenty-first Avenue and East James Street—2107 East James—which they have styled "The Cayton," and they are ready to accommodate you by the day or week at living rates. The rooms are all outside rooms and of course well lighted and ventilated. They are furnished with new furniture and everything in connection made as comfortable as home itself. Both of the proprietors have had considerable experience ready on record to encourage and inspire the race to nobler things. We recall that L'Ouverture, the liberator of Hayti, was the son of an African chief, himself a slave, and that the military genius and heroic deeds of that black patriot drew faom Woodsworth that immortal sonnet of his about his allies being "love and anguish and an unconquerable mind." And why may it not be that nature in distributing her precious jewels of lavish mental and spiritual endowment, might not as well select a casket of ebony as of ivory to put them in?—Tacoma Daily Ledger. Back to Nature The Negro does not take naturally to mechanism, the allied arts and sciences, however much his teachers and advisers may wish to see him develop along those lines. He is more naturally an agriculturist. As a native child of nature, he scarcely knew of any other peaceful occupations than those of crop raisers and herders. These were merely the necessary means of tribal maintenance, but it may be judged they were developed in a crude way, to a point of reasonable reliance. Nothing more was required of tribal barbarians. The principal uses of the institution of slavery tended to develop their capabilities along natural lines, while the elementary knowledged that they gained of of the mechanical trade accessories was merely incidental. Under meagre instructions the Negro slave easily became a trained agriculturalist, and perhaps there is no other class of people in the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN country today which has a better natural idea of the uses of the soil and the diversification of crops. He is not up in the modern scientific development of agricultural ideas because of late years, his conditions have not kept him in touch with timely improvements, but he has all the fundamental knowledge required to make him a successful farmer when he shall have acquired the necessary modern ideas of the concentration of effort and the steady improvement of his natural resources. The tilling of the soil is the first and fundamental occupation of all civilized races, and out of its development and perfection grow all the higher vocations and all the extended branches of social development. The effort of a people to get up in the world while slighting and skipping over this first, underlying process, must always be doomed to failure, because it is superficial and wit out sound foundation. It is sure to make dependents, servants and gypsy-like wanderers of those who employ it. The great present day tendencies of Negroes to flock to the cities and swell the unbridled throngs of unskilled laborers and servile classes seriously threatens the development of the race. A movement which will turn the Negro back to the rural districts, whether it be based upon schemes for industrial development in the South or upon more daring ventures of colonization or independent settlement upon the new soil of the West, should prove an unlimited blessing. Every Negro who leaves the city and establishes himself upon a productive tract of land in the rural districts and sticks to it, will benefit his race more than any hundred Negroes who cling to the glamor and waste and servility of city life. "Back to Nature" is the slogan with which the Negroes' greatest mark in the modern world must be made.—Colorado Statesman.

If there is any one people in America more romantic than all others, it is the moonshiners of Kentucky and Tennessee, and Miss Emma Bunting will make an even more delightful queen than Madge in "Old Kentucky." The play tells the story of a waif, a child of wealthy parents sent to a baby farm and sold to an old charcoal burner in the Tennessee mountains by the keeper of the baby farm. Of course she grows up; her lover is accensed of robbery, is assisted by her to escape from prison, flies to the Tennessee mountains, takes sanctuary with the moonshiners, where Tess, is elected their queen.

After all it was a mistake that Fred Funston had fallen into in- nocuous desuetude, he has only been living in Kansas. Evidently the tariff has not smoked the members of congress out as yet as they are still trying to make hay while the sun shines. When heap Big Injun gets that $600,000 from the government for the sale of the Colville lands, there ‘“‘sho’ will be something doing.’’ There is one thing certain the blackmailers in trying to extort money from the farmers of Whit- man county are after the men who have the money. Young Claus Spreckles had a severe Caseof love at first sight the other day, but a determined threat from my ‘‘old man’’ made the boy drop the case. Taft is always kicking up a row and the one he kicked up June ist in Seattle was no less remarkable than those he has kicked up in the past. Now that the young Hawaiian ladies are again with us its up to C. B. Yandell to begin to brush up his glad rags te give the dus- ky damsels the time of their lives. Unless we miss our guess Washington’s second extra ses- sion of the legislature will be so extraordinary that the eitizens will pray to never see another one. When a man will take his life to hide from a hundred dollar shortage, he is better off dead than alive. Come to think of it, it is always a coward that com- mits suicide. No, dear reader, the Welcome Arch in Seattle that is being built isin no ways related to the Royal Arch, although you are made as welcome by the former as by the latter. Impeaching Hay is easy enough done, if you only have votes enough, but it is right there where the shoe pinches, but Senator Williams has been in tight shoes before. Even the police of the city are expecting interesting visitors during the life time of the A. Y. P. exposition, and if they get here they have made arrange- ments te entertain them. | Any woman that will leave $50 in cold cash with a perfect stran- ger who promises to get hera job, and takes the money as a guarantee of her honesty, is too big a fool to have that much money all at once. Regardless of the simpleness of the triek nevertheless the “‘con’’? man always manages to get the coin fromthe gulable. If you do not want to lose your dough, quit trying to get some- thing for nothing. Having cornered all of the rail- roads of the country E. H. Har- riman now has his weather eye on the air and to watch it the more closely he is preparing to live on the roof of his dwelling house. When the city of Portland elected Joseph Simon mayor last Tuesday by an overwhelm- ing vote it was evident that she has been waiting for an oppor- tunity to adopt the “‘open shop”’ policy. Now go to it. Missouri’s penitentiary may have never heen visited by a god, but in a few days Adam God will arrive there and feels called upon, owing to the reputation of the in- mates, to spend a long visit with them for reformation purposes. The soldiers of the Confedracy may have been in some pretty hot scraps during the great Civil war, but none of them seems to have been one half so hot as’the one they werein the other day at their re-union in Memphis, Tennessee. WISE AND OTHERWISE | James J. Hill’s address at the A. Y. P. Exposition was a mas- terly effort, abounding in many historical facts, and in a very prophetic manner outlined a glo- rious future for the Northwest coast states. Had not Mr. Hill been born in a foreign country he would be good presidential timber. Is it conatitutional or unconsti- tutional? We have read this question almost every week. When cases are tried under many of our laws as we find them enacted by our legislators we are not sure that that is really the law under the constitution or not. This is a fault that should be remedied if possible. The fault arises from two causes. First in hasty legislation and second in incompetent legislators. We saw many of our laws passed during the strain of the last throes of the legislature when mature thought is entirely ab- sent, and hence unconstitutional laws are enacted. Again we are in the habit of sending most any one to the legislature, compe- tent or incompetent, so he isa good fellow. We do not plead for lawyers, but more good law- yers should be sent to the legis- lature. The remedy. should be that every law enacted by the legislature should be submitted to the supreme court to be pass- ed upon by them before becom- ing alaw. Much time and mon- ey and vexation would be saved to our citizens who go to law if if this scheme was adopted, and our citizens would always know where they are at. | Our city officials appear to be “‘at outs.’’ There are disagree- ments all along the line. A. says that this duty belongs to B. and B, says it belongs toC. It is most remarkable that a city of this size which has a population of three hundred thousand peo- THE SATTLE REPUBLICAN VUSINCSS UL Ue Cy Suu VS systematized so as to be without friction and run like clockwork. No private corporation would transact its business in that slip- shod manner. Some difference of opinion has been expressed by our business men. as to the effect of the A.-Y.- P. exposition on the real estate business in the city of Seattle, King county and the state in gen- eral. Some of our pessimistic citizens say that both values and business will slump and every- thing will be knocked into inoc- cuous desuetude and refer to the Jamestown affair, That affair was not a parallel case. There ‘was nothing to Jamestown while ‘Seattle and this part of the coun- try has everything in the way of natural advantages cooped up and ready for developmrnt. Publicity is the enemy of all wrong doings and evils. Nine- tenths of the wrong doings and unlawful acts of the people are projected because of their secre- tiveness. - People commit wrong acts from the fact that they think they will never be uncover- ed. Thousands of grafts and other unlawful acts are hidden away in the stillness of profound silence never to be unearthed un- less by the potent hand of thor- ough investigation and publicity. The laws of the state and ordin- ances of the cities should provide for thorough examination and publicity at least once a year. If this were done the grafter would subside, and the people would breathe easy. No publie enterpise benefits a community more than macadam- ized roads. It enhances the val- ue of farm lands especially, and incidentally the value of city or town property — rduces the re- tail price of every produet the farmer has to sell to the towns- people, besides the pleasure of driving on smooth, dry roads in- stead of over corduroys, dirt and mud highways. Any money ex- pended judiciously for macadam- ized roads will be returned four fold. Should the state of Wash- ington be gridironed with good roads, this state would become a celebrated spot for tourists and scenic hunters, and the people would be benefitted by the mil- lions of dollars spent here an- nnually. Officials of state, county or city should faithfully attend to the business for which they were elected or appointed. In most eastern states they are held for punctual and prompt duty, and any officer who does not strictly attend to business is not nomina- ted and elected for a second term, and generally his salary is reduc- ed accordingly. In the state of Washington it is different. A man is elected to an office, turns over the business to deputies and clerks and goes out on a tour, hunting or fishing or smokes Spanish cigars and plays cards in some favored saloon and draws his salary regularly. We under- stand that some of. our officials The billboard nuisance has be- come intolerable. No city of this size has tolerated the fla-' Seattle. The péople have been patient toa fault, and still their patience endures. How long this deplorable condition will ex- ist no prophet can foretell. The people have complained for the last ten years to the city author- ities, but they have in profound silence turned deaf ears. That these bill boards are nuisances goes without saying. There are no persons affected by these boards that would not qualify under oath that they are not nuisances, besides this the city as a wholeis affected more or less. It is claimed that there is no law or ordinance that will reach them. If so, why does not the city coun- cil make some law? If the ehar- ter must be amended, why was it not amended ten year: ago? The people have been ready for it. Ordinances have been intro- duced in'the city council and they have disappeared as if by magic. The people have petitioned the cito. council, bombarded the board of public works and haras- sed the city officials from the mayor down to dog catcher, and yet there is no sign of relief. Our exposition visitor while tour- ing the city gaze upon bill koards instead of magnificent buildings. How much longer must the good people of the city suffer? Still the automobile goes on in its usual style crippling, maining and killing, and the authorities let them. Two simple sentences of an ordinance well enforced would prevent all these disasters. It is on accountof fast running that these disasters occur. Let the council pass an ordinance prohibiting all atitos from run- ning more than five miles per hour in the business portion cf the city and have it rigidly en- forced and these accidents will cease and lives will be spared. Judge J. T. Ronald did aright- eous act when he refused to grant a divorce to a couple last Saturday for little or no eause. The judge’s idea is that marriage is something more than a simple business contract. When hus- band and wife become one it is a solemn partnership for life and should not be dissolved only for Bible cause. If this doctrine was faithfully carried out people would be more careful in their marriage engagements and con- tracts and divorces would be re- duced to a minimum, Just at this time congress is wrangling with the schedule of the tariff proposition. It is an an important matter to all people in all sections of the country. The adjusting of a proper tariff on foreign goods so as to be just to products of the United States is a difficult problem. There are two phases of the case to be con- sidered — tariff for a sufficient revenue to defray the expense of the government and protec- tion where it is needed. Making Rapid Progress iN ale Ag ee gl The wealth that has already resulted from the irrigation of aridlands and what will accrue in the future, cannot even be es- timated. Only a few years ago and all the millions of acres of desert land lying west of the Rockies, were classed as worth- less and were: scarcely given a passing thought by man; and men have even questioned the wisdom of the Almighty in per- FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1907 mitting this vast area to remain a desert for the lack of moistire. But within the past few years it has been made manifest that it was well for us that this great domain was left in an arid con- dition until we became educated to practical methods of intense farming, and so today we find the regions of this arid land be- ing made the mecca of. all farm- ing countries. Values spring in- to existence, such as has never arisen from non-irrigated lands. Within the past ten years the as- sessed values of this valley have increased more than $20,000,000 and the year of 1908 alone mark- ed an increase of $8,000,000 over the previous year. Yet, we are just beginning to develop this valley. Even ourlittle town and adjacent territory, will, within the next few years, increase the assessed valuation of 1908 by several hundred thousand dollars. The 8,000 acres adjoining Mab- ton which are being placed un- der irrigation will support a pop- ulation of several thousand peo- ple and the wealth of our little city will increase many fold. In a country where values in- crease so rapidly as this, there are untold opportunities and many there are who make a com- petent fortune in a few years. Investors will find opportunities. for investment in and around Mabton, which, for safé and quick returns, cannot be out- classed anywhere. — Mabton Chronicle. Governor Hay’s Plan _ Governor Hay’s plan of having: no state officers elected by the people except the governor and lieutenant governor is worthy of consideration, “though:*the Com- moner does not believe that it should be adopted. The chief argument in favor of it is that. the voters are not well enough acquainted with the candidates: for nominations for the minor state officers to be able to judge of their qualifications, whereas, if the governor had the power to select the heads of the various departments just as the presi- dent selects his cabinet, more ef- ficient men would be secured. This would probably be true, provided the people never made a mistake in the selection of a governor and lieutenant gover- nor, But what would be the result if aman like Mead should hap- pen to be elected governor and he should select for his assist- ants men like Ex-Adjustant Gen- eral Hamilton and Ex-Railroad Commissioner MeMillian? With a strong but selfish and ambitious manin the guberna- torial chair there would be grave danger that he might use the increased power to build up a political machine to perpetuate him in office or advance him to the United States senate. With a well meaning, but weak exe- cutive there would even be more danger than under the present system, of the selection of dis- honest and incompetent officials. The governor is now vested with sufficient power to safe- guard the people against dishon- esty and grafting in the other departments of the state admin- istration, and an honest, fearless and competent executive would make it his business to doit, If Governor Mead, instead of allow- ing a secretary to 0.

Mr. Palmer knows that he will not be a member of the next legislature and he is advocating such a wild cat scheme only for the view of attracting attention to E. B. Palmer. Why abolish an office that has never been tested? Its no justification to abolish an office because a bad man happens to be elected to that office. If the official is really a bad one then abolish the man. The legislature has been called together because there are grave suspicions that some of the officials have not acted on the square and in the open in that office and sufficient evidence has already been brought out to justify the legislature to probe into the charges and this it should do and not switch off on another proposition in order for some legislator to get a bit of cheap notoriety for himself. Act on the square.

It enhances the value of farm lands especially, and incidentally the value of city or town property - rduces the retail price of every product the farmer has to sell to the townspeople, besides the pleasure of driving on smooth, dry roads instead of over corduroys, dirt and mud highways. Any money expended judiciously for macadamized roads will be returned four fold. Should the state of Washington be gridironed with good roads, this state would become a celebrated spot for tourists and scenic hunters, and the people would be benefitted by the millions of dollars spent here annually. Officials of state, county or city should faithfully attend to the business for which they were elected or appointed. In most eastern states they are held for punctual and prompt duty, and any officer who does not strictly attend to business is not nominated and elected for a second term, and generally his salary is reduced accordingly. In the state of Washington it is different. A man is elected to an office, turns over the business to deputies and clerks and goes out on a tour, hunting or fishing or smokes Spanish cigars and plays cards in some favored saloon and draws his salary regularly. We understand that some of our officials in this county have drawn two salaries, one from the county, another from the Washington state militia, and perhaps spent one-half time in office business. The billboard nuisance has become intolerable. No city of this size has tolerated the fla- grant nuisance as long as has Seattle. The people have been patient to a fault, and still their patience endures. How long this deplorable condition will exist no prophet can foretell. The people have complained for the last ten years to the city authorities, but they have in profound silence turned deaf ears. That these bill boards are nuisances goes without saying. There are no persons affected by these boards that would not qualify under oath that they are not nuisances, besides this the city as a whole is affected more or less. It is claimed that there is no law or ordinance that will reach them. If so, why does not the city council make some law? If the charter must be amended, why was it not amended ten years ago? The people have been ready for it. Ordinances have been introduced in the city council and they have disappeared as if by magic. The people have petitioned the cito council, bombarded the board of public works and harassed the city officials from the mayor down to dog catcher, and yet there is no sign of relief. Our exposition visitor while touring the city gaze upon bill boards instead of magnificent buildings. How much longer must the good people of the city suffer? Still the automobile goes on in its usual style crippling, maining and killing, and the authorities let them. Two simple sentences of an ordinance well enforced would prevent all these disasters. It is on account of fast running that these disasters occur. Let the council pass an ordinance prohibiting all autos from running more than five miles per hour in the business portion of the city and have it rigidly enforced and these accidents will cease and lives will be spared. Judge J. T. Ronald did a righteous act when he refused to grant a divorce to a couple last Saturday for little or no cause. The judge's idea is that marriage is something more than a simple business contract. When husband and wife become one it is a solemn partnership for life and should not be dissolved only for Bible cause. If this doctrine was faithfully carried out people would be more careful in their marriage engagements and contracts and divorces would be reduced to a minimum. Just at this time congress is wrangling with the schedule of the tariff proposition. It is an important matter to all people in all sections of the country. The adjusting of a proper tariff on foreign goods so as to be just to products of the United States is a difficult problem. There are two phases of the case to be considered - tariff for a sufficient revenue to defray the expense of the government and protection where it is needed. Making Rapid Progress The wealth that has already resulted from the irrigation of arid lands and what will accrue in the future, cannot even be estimated. Only a few years ago and all the millions of acres of desert land lying west of the Rockies, were classed as worthless and were scarcely given a passing thought by man; and men have even questioned the wisdom of the Almighty in per- FRIDAY. JUNE 11. 1907 mitting this vast area to remain a desert for the lack of moisture. But within the past few years it has been made manifest that it was well for us that this great domain was left in an arid condition until we became educated to practical methods of intense farming, and so today we find the regions of this arid land being made the mecca of all farming countries. Values spring into existence, such as has never arisen from non-irrigated lands. Within the past ten years the assessed values of this valley have increased more than $20,000,000 and the year of 1908 alone marked an increase of $8,000,000 over the previous year. Yet, we are just beginning to develop this valley. Even our little town and adjacent territory, will, within the next few years, increase the assessed valuation of 1908 by several hundred thousand dollars. The 8,000 acres adjoining Mabton which are being placed under irrigation will support a population of several thousand people and the wealth of our little city will increase many fold. In a country where values increase so rapidly as this, there are untold opportunities and many there are who make a competent fortune in a few years. Investors will find opportunities for investment in and around Mabton, which, for safe and quick returns, cannot be outclassed anywhere. - Mabton Chronicle. Governor Hay's Plan Governor Hay's plan of having no state officers elected by the people except the governor and lieutenant governor is worthy of consideration, though the Commoner does not believe that it should be adopted. The chief argument in favor of it is that the voters are not well enough acquainted with the candidates for nominations for the minor state officers to be able to judge of their qualifications, whereas, if the governor had the power to select the heads of the various departments just as the president selects his cabinet, more efficient men would be secured. This would probably be true, provided the people never made a mistake in the selection of a governor and lieutenant governor. But what would be the result if a man like Mead should happen to be elected governor and he should select for his assistants men like Ex-Adjustant General Hamilton and Ex-Railroad Commissioner McMillian? With a strong but selfish and ambitious man in the gubernatorial chair there would be grave danger that he might use the increased power to build up a political machine to perpetuate him in office or advance him to the United States senate. With a well meaning, but weak executive there would even be more danger than under the present system, of the selection of dishonest and incompetent officials. The governor is now vested with sufficient power to safeguard the people against dishonesty and grafting in the other departments of the state administration, and an honest, fearless and competent executive would make it his business to do it. If Governor Mead, instead of allowing a secretary to O. K. vouchers by affixing his name with a HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE OF WASHINGTON 1909 THE SENATE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE OF 1910 C. L. MEYER, THE SEATLE FRIDAY. JUNE 11. 1909 HOUSE OF RE THE SENATE rubber stamp, while he was making junketing trips around the state attending banquets and attempting speeches, had remained at his office and carefully scrutinized those vouchers, before approving them, Otis Hamilton would not have been able to enrich himself at the expense of the state. Instead of delegating more of their power to the governor, the people should acquire for themselves the power to recall public officers who betray their trust or prove incompetent. - Colfax Commoner.

Mr. Palmer knows that he will not be a member of the next legislature and he is advocating such a wild cat scheme only for the view of attracting attention to E. B. Palmer. Why abolish an office that has never been tested? Its no justification to abolish an office because a bad man happens to be elected to that office. If the official is really a bad one then abolish the man. The legislature has been called together because there are grave suspicions that some of the officials have not acted on the square and in the open in that office and sufficient evidence has already been brought out to justify the legislature to probe into the charges and this it should do and not switch off on another proposition in order for some legislator to get a bit of cheap notoriety for himself.
