HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON Associate Washington's cherry tree would have come in handy at his last birthday for fire wood. In recommending the dropping of Major Case from the National Guards no one is the worse off thereby. The women of Seattle will be ready to graduate as expert voters after all the elections booked to be pulled off in Seattle this year have been held. Champion Jackson may not be able to pull off any boxing stunts in San Francisco, but the speaking stunts he is pulling off are simply killing. Wyoming is the first state to cut off party designations from the head of the tickets. It begins to look as if partisan politics will soon be a thing of the past. State Senator Ruth made an able defense of State Land Commissioner Ross, and he ought to have as he has been a beneficiary of the office ever since Ross has been there. Colonel Roosevelt after having been twice elected president on a rabid Republican ticket now announces he means to steer clear of party alliances. Its the old, old story, "God bless me and wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more." When Jay Gould marries the Hawaiian princess it will be a mingling of the blue blood of New York with the black blood of Honolulu, which will be another instance wherein the difference of blood is no bar to matrimonial bondage. It is currently reported that an effort will be made by a number of citizens of Seattle already organized to close up every business in the city on Sunday. It may not be wise to close up every kind of business as is threatened, but there is one thing certain, Sunday in Seattle and in all the Pacific Coast cities, is the same as Monday, the former no more observed as the Lord's day than the latter. A great majority of the people have fallen into the habit of taking Sunday for the day on which to do up their home work for the ensuing week and forget all about it being the day to attend some kind of religious services. "Look after the taxes you have already paid a little more closely than those you are expected to pay, and you will stop a heavy leak in the county and state treasur es," said State Tax Commissioner T. D. Rockwell befoae the Seattle Commercial Club last Tuesday evening. By that he meant the expenses of running the state and counties were twice and three times more than they should be. If the county expense account was handled by some business concern as the head of it does his own private business, the running expense of no county in the state would be half what it now is. It may not be a graft, but it is a careless way of doing things that ought to be checked. If the state and county expense accounts were run on an economical business basis the rate of taxation would not be to exceed one half what it now is. It is unreasonable to have to pay as much taxes on a piece of property as the same property will rent for. Yes so unreasonable that it is cheaper to rent than to own. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911 [Name not visible in the image] ALBERT J. GODDARD Those Oklahoma damsels may wear smiles that won't rub off just now, but if they keep up the pace they are now setting, sooner or later it will rub off. Of course prohibition does not prohibit, but the saloon men of the state are not looking for an opportunity to demonstrate to the anti-saloon men that it does not. There may not be many things in this world that Daddy Clayson is the originator of, but he can give himself credit for being the father of dance halls on Puget Sound, his being in the height of its glory almost a half a century ago—"alla men right." The office of secretary to the president of the United States is by no means as eagerly sought as one might suspect. The secretary to the president is seldom ever heard of after retiring from the trying position. Cortelou and Loeb being exceptions to the general rule. A quarrel between the United States and Japan would be a misfortune to the whole world, thinks Lord Cruzon. That seems to be giving the Japanese a higher position in the human family than the proud Anglo-Saxon has been inclined to give them. "The world do move." The Times did not make much headway at driving E. L. Blaine out of the city as it promised to do, and from the vote cast for Blaine it looks as if the scales would be turned, and sooner or later the men who voted for Blaine will drive the Times out of Seattle. What evidence the grand jury has of graft in Seattle we verily doth not know, but, unless we mistake our man, if there was any graft practiced in Seattle under the Gill administration, and if any one else was mixed up in it besides Wappy, and if he realizes that he is pinched, he will peach on everybody else. He is simply made that way. And now the twelfth legislature, like the previous ones, has set down upon the oyster land steal that the Beach-Palmer combine has so persistently sought to get through the legislature. These valuable lands are worth fighting for, and for the man, money mad and willing to stoop to anything, to get the money, the persistency of the men behind the oyster land steal is not to be wondered at. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 ublican 911 VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 39 California has decided to submit the woman suffrage question to popular vote, so now the voters know what to do is they want to be popular.—Indianapolis News. Now that the sheriff of Franklin county, Washington, has a gold star, the gift of his deputies, it ought to make him an easy mark for the hold-up men. Strikes may have cost the laboring men many millions of dollars within the past decade, but would the laboring people have gotten that amount if they had not struck? President Taft's threat to call in Democracy if Republicanism does not act favorably upon Canadian reciprocity, seems to have had the desired effect and the bill will pass, and with its passage the wedge that will split the old tariff log will have been successfully entered. From the comments on the Arizona constitution recently adopted by the voters of that territory it does not meet with favor in the effete East, but what in the devil and Tom Walker has the effete East got to do with the kind of constitution the people of Arizona elect themselves to live under? George B. Cox of Cincinnati, the maker of presidents and other big office holders, has been indicted for perjury. Is that another "hoss" play on the part of those who pretend to administer the laws of the land? Cox will hardly be brought to trial and if he should be, it would prove as big a farce as did the trial of the Standard Oil. The moving of the state supreme court from Olympia to Seattle would be beneficial to neither Olympia, Seattle nor the attorneys who practiced before that tribunal. So long as the state capitol is to remain at Olympia the supreme court, which is the part of the state capital and the supreme court from Olympia to other points should be set at rest and the capital be made permanent where it is now located. Carnegie's gift of ten million dollars to establish perpetual peace among the nations of the world has been likened to holding up a big sausage to a lot of fighting dogs with the injunction, "if you will stop your fighting, I will give you this sausage. The fighting is stopped not because they believe in not fighting, but for the money that is in it. Let's hope, however, that when it has stopped long enough to get the money it will forget to start again. It seems strange that J. Aronson, a wholesale liquor dealer of Seattle, should elect himself to defy the dry law territory voted by the citizens of Bellingham. He is now under arrest for the offense and he should be sent to prison the limit on every count. Aronson should be sent to prison for selling the rot that he has labeled whiskey on general principles, to say nothing of breaking the laws of a community. It is currently reported that H. L. Bolby, stat highway commissioner, will have to go, and in case he he does, A. L. Valentine is being groomed for the place. Valentine has no more fitness for a place like that than an African Chimpanzee and it would really be criminal for him to be appointed to the place. It seems that that department of the state government has been imposed upon quite sufficiently without putting Valentine in it. The post office department seems to be getting awfully particular less the newspaper publishers do not send any extra copies beyond their regular subscription lists, through the mails, which is straining at agnat and swallowing a camel. If the department would pay lsss to the railroad trust for carrying the mails it might not continue to run behind as it is reported doing. The railroads are paid more for hauling the mails by ten times over than they get for carrying any other kind of freight or express. The government knows its up to it to kick somebody and being afraid to tackle the railroad kings it jumps on to the publishers of weekly papers. --- POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS 2 Seattle's first try out at nominating eighteen persons, nine of whom to be elected two weeks later, occurred last Tuesday and left a good many disappointments in its wake, but on the whole it acted well, and splendid men for the most part were nominated. Those nominated are as follows: Oliver T. Erickson 19 548 E. L. Blaine 18 950 Austin E. Griffith 17 466 Max Wardall 16 813 F. E. Steiner 16 515 R. B. Hesketh 13 993 J. Y. C. Kellogg 12 320 A. J. Goddard 12 279 A. F. Haas 11 843 W. H. Weaver 9 541 G. B. Littlefield 9 315 T. L. Quigley 8 890 F. R. Van Tuyl 8 551 Joe Schlumpf 8 035 Joe Smith 7 584 W. H. Murphy 7 116 F. P. Mullen 6 905 From the above names each voter is to select not to exceed nine names to make an (x) opposite each, indicating your choice for councilman. The three men getting the highest vote will be declaree elected for three years; the three persons getting the second highest votes will be declared elected for two years; and the three getting the lowest vote will get the one year. Next year they will have to stand for re-election and the successful candidates will draw a three year term and the following year the two year men will be up for re-election and their successors will be elected for three years. Oliver T. Erickson as a partisan made two futile attempts to be elected to an office in Seattle, but as a candidate of a non-partisan election he swept the field and will be overwhelmingly elected. He is a splendid business man and was loyally supported by both business and laboring men. Edwin L. Blaine who ran as a close second to Erickson, has been a member of the council for eleven months and during that time won for himself the distinction of square dealing. That of itself would have nominated him, but he was opposed by the Times and that, too, guaranteed him as many votes as did his own record. You can't beat him. ____0____ Austin E. Griffith, who held third place in the councilmanic nomination race is richly deserving of the honor and when he will have been elected and qualified as a member of the city council he will at once become the mighty balance wheel to that legislative body. He is an indefatigable worker as well as one of the safest of counselors. Max Wardall has ably represented the West Seattle district in the city council and that section was well pleased with his work. He also had the nerve to lay bare the Gill administration, which resulted in Gill's recall, and for that he was abused by the Times, and for these reasons combined he ran along with the high bunch and he will be overwhelmingly elected. Albert J. Goddard is the "noblest Roman of them all," for for three years he has incessantly pounded away at petty graft on the part of the city employees and wholesale graft on the part of contractors, until he was the sole sore spot in the council so far as many of his fellow members are concerned. If a man ever earned the right to first place it is Goddard, and this paper truly hopes he will get one of the three year terms. A. F. Haas who is one of the nine high members nominated last Tuesday, is a mrn of sterling qualities and possesses a life record for integrity, honesty and sobriety. He is a man to whose trust any one could turn over his good name, his earnings of a life time and all his worldly possessions and feel absolutely sure that he would be perfectly square with them. He He will take these splendid qualifications of a man with him into the city council and he will vote and act on all measures that come before that body as he would in his personal matters. Representative Mason of Arkansas, slipped a keen kutter under the short ribs of the Washington pencil pushers, and they are so angry that they will ask Congress to pass a law creating a punishment for such easy geezers. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN J. H. A. F. HAAS THE READER'S INTEREST IN POSTAL RATES On Thursday of last week the Postoffice Committee of the Senate, under the special urging of the President, reported a bill to raise the postage on the magazines. Instead of a uniform rate of one cent a pound, it is to be one cent a pound on the pages of reading matter, and four cents a pound on pages containing any advertising. It is expected that this measure will raise several million dollars for the Postoffice Department at the expense of the periodicals. It is only due the readers of this and other magazines to tell them that the periodicals are now run at such a low margin of profit that the proposed tax must be added to the subscription price if the various publications are to continue at their present standard of excellence. Our Canadian readers now pay 85 cents a year extra on account of the increased postal rate on American magazines entering Canada. Other publications make a similar extra charge on Canadian subscriptions. Now American readers are threatened with a like advance on all the magazines they read if this measure becomes law. The case of some of the low-priced magazines, whose large circulation is based on their price, is serious—their very existence is threatened. While every magazine will be more or less hurt, the 10- and 15-cent popular magazines, which Senator Dolliver once called the greatest educational force in America in the past twenty years, will be dealt a well-nigh fatal blow, and the gain to the postal revenues will be made at the expense of hundreds of thousands of readers. The matter is now before Congress and will be decided in a few days, and those readers who feel an interest in preserving the present price and quality of their magazines should write or wire their Senators and Representatives without delay protesting against this measure. We have received from one of our advertisers some illuminating figures on the Government's profit on magazine postage. The President claims that when a page of advertising is carried at one cent a pound, it is carried at a loss. Our advertiser inserted a full page advertisement on which we paid one cent a pound. That was where the Government lost, according to the President. In a few days, however, the advertiser received 4,000 letters of inquiry in response to the advertisement, each with a two-cent stamp on it. To every inquirer the advertiser sent six different follow-up letters and six different circulars, making a total of $640 for postage so far. But this was not all. He received about 400 orders for sets of books, to be paid for in instalments. Each monthly payment required a notice, a reply, and a receipt returned. Two-thirds of the payments were in money orders, each with a fee of three cents. Altogether, the Government received about $884, this advertiser reckons, mainly in first-class postage, which yields the Government an immense profit. On the whole transaction the Government received a handsome return for carrying that page of advertising at one cent a pound. That side of the case is ignored. Of course the entire matter of the business administration of the Postoffice Department is intimately connected with this question. Some think if the Department needs money it could be had by starting a parcels post, or by revising its contracts with the railroads, but we merely state the facts given above to show our readers their own interest in the case. FRIDAY, February 24, 1911 WHAT STRIKES HAVE COST THE MINERS. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who seems hungry for worldwide peace, might well devote a few of his millions to the promotion of industrial peace at home, suggests the Des Moines Register and Leader, calling attention to the published figures showing that in the past eleven years the United Mine Workers of America have paid out over $8,000,000 in strike benefits. This "amazing aggregate," vouched for by no less an authority than Mr. Thomas L. Lewis, who recently retired from the presidency of the Mine Workers, "represents only a small portion of the cost of miners' strikes," continues the Des Moines paper; "the loss to industry amounts to vastly more than that, and the loss to the country at large is beyond computation." It was in advising his associates against continuing a pending strike, notes the Augusta Chronicle, that President Lewis reminded them of the large cost of former troubles. These are his figures: 1900.....$ 144,462.50 1906.....$ 805,599.92 1901.....202,202.71 1907.....105,045.57 1902.....1,834,506.53 1908.....744,897.19 1903.....301,922.44 1909.....600,267.39 1904.....1,065,435.47 1910.....1,532,020.42 1905.....753,626.02 Total.....$8,089,986.16 These sums were contributed from their daily wages by miners who were working, to support others who were on strike, The Chronicle reminds us, and it goes on to say a word about the cost and profit of strikes: "The miners have gained concessions, consisting in increased wages and improved conditions, during the past ten years, by striking. It is probable that they have gained more than has any other class of organized labor by that process, but it would be interesting to know just how the concessions they have gained check against the cost of the methods used in gaining them. It would probably be found that the strikers paid pretty dearly for what they got. "The outlay in strike benefits does not include the loss in time and wages, the suffering and hardships, the long periods of idleness, frequently in midwinter, endured by the miners, most of whom are very poor. Strikes as a rule are unprofitable. Most of the unions have abandoned them, except as last resorts, and investigation would perhaps demonstrate the fact that the United Mine Workers, noted for their big and lengthy strikes, have obtained more through negotiation than through strikes. "This is true with nearly every body of workmen. They have found strikes to be very expensive affairs, and diplomacy much less expensive and far more effective." Representative Stanley, of Kentucky, spent forty-five minutes in bitterly attacking the United States Steel Corporation. Steel Common was 80 $ \frac{3}{4} $ when he started, 81 $ \frac{3}{4} $ when he sat down. —Wall Street Journal THAT COMPENSATION BILL Considerable opposition is being directed toward the employes compensation bill, not as a matter of principle, but because of some features which seem rather unjust. Employers of labor in lines that have no risks must contribute to the fund which helps to protect those who are carrying on an industry in which the hazzard is infinitely greater. While the risks are classified and the employer is required to pay into the liability fund according to a graduated scale arranged with respect to probable danger, he must also pay a head tax on each employe, and this is not graduated, but is the same for all callings. All employes, no matter in what occupation engaged, must also pay a uniform per diem tax. The trouble that is figured out against it is this will create a neat little fund of $2,000,000 annually, the larger part of which will go into the cost of administration. There is no question but what a good deal of this kind of legislation is primarily for the purpose of creating some easy jobs for favored ones in order that they may be permitted to live a life of some opulence with a small pretense at work, and though it is freely charged that there are some such motives in the back ground in this instance, this may not be the case. As the bill if drawn, however, there are the very inequitable provisions that have been cited, and these are probably sufficient to make such a law extremely unpopular with large numbers of working people. The girl who works in a folding-room, for instance, will hardly see the justice of paying the same tax on her daily wage that is assessed to the man who drives a locomotive is apt to regard the tax against the man who works in a powder magazine in about the same light.—Cle Elum Echo. ITEMS MORE OR LESS INTERESTING FRIDAY. February 24, 1911 MAY BE EARLY VOTE IN CALIFORNIA Now that both branches of the California Legislature have voted by overwhelming majorities in favor of submitting the constitutional amendment granting full suffrage to women, the women are preparing to make an active educational campaign. Ordinarily, constitutional amendments are not voted upon for two years, or until the next general election after the adjournment of the legislature. This year, however, there is talk of calling a special election to pass upon amendments. If this is done, the election will probably be set for September next. This will allow only seven months, instead of two years, in which to carry on the campaign. -Woman's Journal. MODEL STATUTE ON HARMLESS ERROR The following is the statute considered for several years by the American Bar Association and by the Judiciary Committees of the house and senate and which is as near perfection as human language can make it. Let every lawyer urge its adoption by every legislature so that this may be the first provision of a uniform code of procedure which is one of the great ideals of the American Bar: No judgment shall be set aside or reversed, or new trial granted, by any court of the United States in any case, civil or criminal, on the ground of misdirection of the jury or the improper admission or rejection of evidence, or for error as to matter of pleading or procedure; unless, in the opinion of the court to which application is made, after an examination of the entire cause, it shall appear that the error complained of has injuriously affected the substantial rights of the parties. The trial judge may in any case submit to the jury the issues of fact arising upon the pleadings, reserving any question of law arising in the case for subsequent argument and decision, and he and any court to which the case shall have thereafter be taken on writ of error shall have the power to direct judgment to be entered either upon the verdict or upon the point reserved, if conclusive, as its judgment upon point reserved may require. Write the committee urging the passage of this law at once, and thus aid in the final victory. -Editor Central Law Journal. NEGRO OFFICE HOLDERS In the February number of World's Work Booker T. Washington has a very interesting article in which he says: Some years ago—and not so very many, either—I think that I should have been perfectly safe in saying that the highest ambition of the average Negro, in America was to hold some sort of office, or to have some sort of job that connected him with the government. Just to be able to live in the capital city was a sort of a distinction, and the man who ran an elevator or merely washed windows in Washington particularly if the windows belonged to the United States government, felt that he was in some way superior to a man who cleaned windows or ran an elevator in any other part of the country. He felt that he was an office-holder. There has been a great change in this respect in recent years. Many members of my race have learned that, in the long run, they can earn more money and be of more service to the community in almost any other position than that of an employee or office-holder under the government. I know of a number of recent cases in which Negro business men have refused positions of honor and trust in the government service because they did not care to give up their business interests. Notwithstanding the city of Washington still has a peculiar attraction and even fascination for the average Negro. I do not think that I ever shared that feeling of so many others of my race. I never liked the atmosphere of Washington. I early saw that it was impossible to build up a race of which the leaders were spending most of their time, thought and energy in trying to stay there after they were in. So for the greater part of my life, I have avoided Washington; and even now I rarely spend a day in that city which I do not look upon as a day thrown away. The senate of the United States agrees with the house that wearers of the uniform of soldiers and sailors of the United States should be protected from discrimination by managers of places of entertainment. The senate recently passed the bill, but so ameneed it as to make the fine $500, and to remove the imprison feature. Members of the revenue cutter service were included with soldiers, sailors and marines. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN MORE OR LESS INT [Name] E. L. BLAINE GOVERNOR HARMON'S SIMPLICITY The very simple inaugural of Governor Harmon of Ohio on the occasion of his taking office for a second term is the subject of a good deal of comment. In recent years the practice has grown up among governors to have showy ceremonies and an inaugural address on the occasion of their inauguration. And some of them even go so far as to deliver farewell addresses at the close of their terms. When Governor Harmon was inaugurated the other day he gave about two minutes to the ceremony. There was no address, no parade, and no ball. The governor left his desk only long enough to be sworn in. There was no other ceremony and no crowd. There was nothing said about policies. The governor assumed that his policies were well understood. It was, of course, the beginning of his second term, but many a governor would have seized upon the occasion to get into the limelight. That Governor Harmon didn't is much to his credit, and will help to strengthen his hold on the people of his state, if, in fact, it doesn't increase his popularity in other states. There are too many ceremonies and parades connected with official life nowadays. A return to Jeffersonian simplicity would have a beneficial effect.—The Forum. M. AUSTIN E.

Many people have wondered why, in a dim light, familiar objects are apt to assume fantastic and frequently alarming appearances. The scientists say that the explanation is to be found in the special conditions of night vision. The pupils are widely dilated and, as in the photographic lens with a large diaphragm, the apparatus of accommodation can focus only for the plane. As the faculty of estimating distances is in a great measure lost in the obscurity, we cannot focus with precision, and a blurred uncertain outline is thrown upon the retina. Then, too, colors, viewed in a fading light lose their distinguishing hue in a fixed sequence until a point is reached at which everything becomes of one uniform gray tint. The images that are transmitted to the visual centers are, therefore, profoundly modified in color and outline; and as they enter the eye through the widely dilated pupil at an altogether unusual angle, the movement of locomotion gives them a peculiar mobility. Now, one relies on experience for the interpretation of sensorial impressions; and when these present themselves suddenly in an unusual form, they create a feeling of insecurity that finds expression in mental perturbation and more or less violent motor impulsion. In fact, the subject finds himself in the position of a horse that sees a rapidly approaching automobile for the first time, and does not know what "to make of it." Imagination aiding, these blurred, mobile, and uncertain images are susceptible of the most phantasmagoric interpretations, and in persons who are not accustomed to control sensorial impressions by the exercise of the intelligence, the impressions are accepted as realities, and acted upon accordingly. Men who are accustomed to night work in the fields make allowance for phenomena of this class, and correct the visual deficiency by the aid of other senses, such as hearing, which are not dependent on light.—Scientific American.

With the tariff out of politics the death knell of the Republican and Democratic parties will have been sounded and the two must at once coalesce. For the past century or more the chief difference between the Democratic and the Whig parties, of which the Republican party is the legal heir, has been the tariff, but if both of the old parties now agree to submit the tariff regulations of the whole country to a tariff board, and such board to regulate the duties on imports and likewise exports to the best interest of all concerned, it will redound to the greatest good to the greatest number. While the tariff has always been the real issue between the North and the South it was intensified during the slavery days and even since the emancipation on account of cheap labor in the South. The tariff was really the cause of the great civil war, as it was a struggle between slave labor and free labor at living wages. When slavery became a fixed institution in the South the southern representatives wanted free trade because the South could compete with European labor and the North wanted a protective tariff because she did not feel able to compete with the labor of the European countries. The southern representatives desiring to perpetuate the institution of slavery fought to keep the North divided on the subject, and succeeded right well, while the South was always a unit on the question, and as a result the South was able for many years to cotrol legislation on the tariff, but when it found itself hopelessly losing, it plunged the country into a fierce internecine war with the hope of coming out of the chaotic state at least none the worse than what they seemed doomed to be driven to by shrewd statesmen of the North, but she lost and after years of experience under a protective tariff from a northern standpoint, she found the whole country grew more prosperous than under free trade, and she has been slowly but surely giving up her radical ideas on the subject and taking a more philosophical view of it. Time has likewise softened the ugly wounds made by the great civil war, and the two sections no longer antagonize each other on the account of the abolition of slavery and it is perfectly natural that all concerned come to the conclusion that a tariff board is the right and proper thing for the whole country. If then there is no longer any difference between the Republican and Democrtic parties the question is, what will be the opposing parties in the future? The prediction herein may be far fetched, but THE SEATTL REPUBLICAN is of the opinion that within the next decade the political parties of the United States will be a party representing organized labor and the socialistic parties of today and a party representing the Republicand Democratic parties. It will hardly be a direct struggle between capital and labor as is so freely pre- THE TARIFF TAKEN OUT OF POLITICS [Name not provided] Who is the local head of the Puget Mill Company, the largest operating lumbering concern in the Northwest, is watching with a great deal of interest the Canadian reciprocity act now before congress and the new tariff board that is expected to regulate the tariff of the United States. He does not favor the Canadian reciprocity act because it would probably mean that lumber from Canada would come into the United States on the free list. Whether or not that would injure the business in the Northwest is a question, but being one of the very conservative business men of the country he is not inclined to take a chance with it. Mr. Ames is one of Seattle's foremost business men and is one of the best posted men on the lumbering business in the whole country. dicted by the more extreme members of organized labor, but two parties that will take different views of the way of handling the financial end of this great governmental compact. It is quite apparent to any thinking mind that Theodore Roosevelt is at present practically a Socialist in views, and that a great majority of those who follow his teachings are iikewise in perfect sympathy with the most of the doctrines advocated by the Socialist teachers.

The following from the Outlook of New York, of which Roosevelt is one of the contributing editors, will be read with a good deal of interest: [Name not provided] E. G.

Mr. Ames is one o and is one of the best posted men on the entry. "By a vote in which not only partisan but also factional differences were disregarded, the house of representatives passed last week a bill to establish a permanent non-partisan or, more strictly, bi-partisan-Tariff Board. The measure as finally adopted is a compound of two bills, one introduced by Mr. Longworth of Ohio, the other by Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. It provides that the Tariff Board shall be composed of five members, appointed by the president and removable by him. Their tenure of office is such as to make the Board a continuing body unaffected as a whole by political changes. The function --- of the Board is to make investigations concerning matters affecting the tariff. Though these investigations are to be with special reference to the cost of production, they are not to be confined to that, for the bill provides that the information that the Board is entitled to secure includes all other facts which may be necessary or convenient in fixing import duties or in aiding the president and other officers of the government in the administration of the custom laws; and the measure furthermore requires that the Board shall also the largest operating with a great deal of in-ss and the new tariff United States. He does probably mean that states on the free list. Northwest is a ques- en of the country he one of Seattle's fore- the lumbering busi- make investigation of any subject whenever directed by either house of congress. It still further requires the Board, under the direction of the president, to report upon the effect of tariff laws or bounty laws as enacted in foreign countries. It safeguards information thus obtained from any individual or company so that it shall not be available for use by any competitor or rival. The Board has power to subpoena witnesses, administer oath, and require the productin of pertinent documents. The Board thus created is to supersede the present Tariff Board, created by the terms of the Payne-Aldrich Act. If this bill --- FRIDAY February 24, 1911 passes the senate, it will constitute the most momentous change in tariff legislation that has taken place in the United States since the enactment of the first tariff law. It will change tariff legislation from a vast game between commercial contestants to an administrative process based upon knowledge of scientific value. Of course the transition will not be complete. No one whose head is level will expect this to eliminate all the evils that are incident to our tariff policy; but every one has a right to expect that it will vastly minimize those evils. For years the tariff question has been nominally a political question. If the issue between the parties had been a real issue between two distinct principles and policies, there would have been no ground of complaint against the practice of treating the tariff question as political. If one party had consistently advocated protection as the object of tariff legislation, and the other had as consistently urged revenue as the object, a basis for a political contest would have existed. As a matter of fact, this has not been the case. The Democratic party has proved itself as truly as the Republican to be an advocate of protection. The Wilson - Gorman Act was as essentially a protection measure as that which it superceded. The real contest between the parties has in reality been a contest over what industries and what sections of the country shall get the greater benefit from the tariff. Such a contest as that is a scannal. The question as how the benefits of protection should be determined, not by the pulling and hauling of interests, but by a process that will ascertain what apportionment will result in an equalization of benefit. As it has been followed in this country the protective policy has been one of the most corrupting influences on public life. If, however, the protective policy is put honestly upon a scientific basis, it might still encounter opposition on economic grounds, but it would cease to raise moral issues. If this measure is enacted, as we hope it will be, lasting credit will be due, first, to President Taft and his administration, and, secondly to those members of congress who by its enactment have risen above party."

Periodically this self same measure has bobbed up serenely, but the interests proceeded at once to maul the life out of it, and some trust senator pigeonholed it, and of course it died a borin'. It soon became evident that the people could get no relief through the United States senate, and they therefore took up the matter in the various states, and to that extent obviated the election of senators by the trusts, and nominated them by a popular vote and made the candidates for the legislature pledge themselves to abide by the verdict of the people in such a popular vote by voting in the legislature for the senatorial candidate receiva plurality of all the votes cast at the polls. In the state of Washington the trust candidate, Levi Ankeny, was beaten two years ago, and last year the trust candidates were beaten and Miles Poindexter nominated. Other states have gone a step further and though the legislature was overwhelmingly Republican, the candidates for the legislature pledged themselves to vote for the candidate receiving the highest number of votes for United States senator at the polls and regardless of party, be elected to the senate by the legislature, and, it will be remembered, that the legislature of the state of Oregon, though overwhelmingly Republican, elected a Democrat to the senate because he received the highest number of votes at the general election. It will thus be seen that for years the tendency has been toward the popular election of United States senators, and if the majority party in the senate now turns the proposition down and defers its to some future date then it might as well prepare itself to not only lose the majority it now has in the senate, but to likewise lose the presidential election when a successor to Taft is to be chosen. The people have come to the conclusion that that is what they want and they propose to have it or make ir awfully interesting for the party in power for refusing to give them the relief they demand. At the time of the founding of the Republic and for many years thereafter it may have been the right and proper thing to do to elect the members of the senate by the various legislatures, but that was prior to the days af trustism, when men were elected to the senate on their merit and manhood rather than for their ability to slip jokers in all bills and measures introduced by honest men so that the legislative interests of the trusts would not be infringed upon. Because the magazines throughout the East got busy advocating this popular idea and exposing the trusts, it is said that the Morgan interest and the interest all trusts have likewise [Portrait of a man in formal attire with a mustache and a bow tie, set against a dark background with an oval frame].

If it be a fact now that they are likewise getting control of the popular magazines they may be able for a time to stem the tide that has set in against them, but sooner or later many of the legislative reforms now being advocated by the people and opposed by the trusts will becomd laws of the land. It has only been a few years since Republicans almost split their sides laughing at those advocating the Initiative and Referendum, and such advocates were branded as wild-eyed populists with more whishers than brains. That was not one of those things you read about, but an actual fact right here in Washington, and yet the house of representatives of the twelfth legislature passed such a bill a few days ago, and it is believed the senate will likewise pass it, and --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ENATORS BY if it does the governor is sure to sign it.

He says he has no fear of it by cleaning it up, and if it does, th d then start all over again. Not only are the people anxious to elect the United States senators by popular vote, but they are inclined likewise to have the president of the United States elected in the same way, and had there not been a long standing quarrel between the North and the South, this too, would now be agitated. The long standing quarrel between the two sections, however, is rpidly being forgotten and as soon as the North is thoroughly convinced that the South does not propose to again try to disrupt the government then it will join hands with the advocates of she popular election of the president and it will be done as will the popular election of the senators in the very near future. The days of trustism are almost ended and though, in their life and death struggle, they may throw the whole country into a distressing financial panic, yet it will not deter the people from taking the reins of the government into their own hands and ruling in the interest of the whole people instead of a favored few. This move will hardly --- When two-thirds of both houses of Congress do not propose an amendment to the constitution, the only way in which the people can obtain such amendment is through the application of the legislature of two thirds of all the states. Here are the names of twenty-seven states that have now demanded that a Constitutional Convention shall be called to provide for the direct election of United States senators by the people: Alabama Louisiana Oklahoma Arkansas Michigan Oregon Colorado Minnesota Pennsylvania Idaho Montana South Dakota Illinois Missouri Tennessee Indiana Nebraska Texas Iowa Nevada Utah Kansas New Jersey Washington Kentucky North Carolina Wisconsin Two other states—California and Wyoming—have asked Congress to frame the amendment. These have only to restate their demand, and then only two will be lacking of the thirty-one state mandates necessary for the calling of the Constitutional Convention. The whip of constitutional compulsion is in the hand of the nation—and the senate is under the lash. New York has not yet spoken, nor Ohio, nor the six New England states. It lies in the power of any four of these—or of eleven other states—to bring the Senate to its knees within a week. In the meantime a number of states, aiming to get around our present constitutional requirements without violating them, have introduced the nomination of candidates for United States senators in state wide direct primaries. This, according to the American Year Book, is the practice in all the southern states except North Carolina, and in eleven northern and western states. Oregon and Nevada have even gone farther, their method being tanta mount to election by direct popular vote. bring about the adoption of the theories of Socialism any more so than did the advocacy of Populism bring about the adoption of the whole of their dogmas, but it will bring about the adoption of many of the theories advocated by the Socialists.

This picture was taken early in last year, when a number of the buildings were in the course of construction that have since been completed, making it one of the finest business sections of the city. The White, the Henry, the Cobb and other sky scrapers are seen. Chief Seattle, the city's patron saint and whose name she bears, overlooks the whole. Unless Colonel Blethen with his Times forms a partnership with Big Bill Morris, the criminal lawyer of the Northwest, the Times to do the publicity end in the defense of the "higher ups" charged with crime, then it begins to look as if the Times will not have as much money to its credit for its year's earnings next Christmas as it had last Christmas. That the Times has begun to lose ground financially and otherwise is plain to be seen and it is impossible to find one person in ten, who believe a word they read in it, and ninety nine out of every hundred believes that a great deal of the revenues of the paper come from sources that neither the editor nor the business manager would like the public to be cognizant of. Within the past four months it has leaked out from the business office of the Times that the pa- Affidavits were filed in the senate of the state of Washington a few days ago as a part of the findings of the legislative investigating committee that reflected very severely upon the official integrity of E. W. Ross, state land commissioner, but he has violently denied the truthfulness of the affidavits. The committee sticks to the report. It may be hewever, that there are persons so hostile to Mr. Ross, for personal reasons, that they would not hesitate to do him a grave injustice in ordsr to impede his progress, but we cannot believe that an organized effort has been made to head Ross off from either being governor or United THE TIMES LEANS TO CRIMINALS STATE OF WASHINGTON VS. E W. ROSS Seattle Looking South from the new Washington Hotel per has lost 5.000 subscribers and ten times that many inches of advertising space, but it continues to put up a bluff at how it is coining money, in other words whistling to keep up its courage. Speaking about the Times becoming the publicity partner in a law firm that make a specialty defending wealthy persons accused of crime is probably stretching a point, but if the readers of the Times will whet their memories a bit they will realize that the the Times has championed the cause of every man of means or prominence in the Northwest that has been charged with crime within the past two years. The Times defended Sam Nichols and J. H. Schively, charged with high crimes and misdemeanors, and even after Nichols resigned rather than stand an impeachment trial, the Times declared him innocent. Schively was not States senator, and if his contentions be true, the governor and the eleventh and twelfth legislatures were expressly eled to tear him down. While he is quite a factor in the body politic of the state of Washington, he is by no means so important a one as to require the politicians of the whole state to organize to prevent him from acquiring title in fee simple to the state of Washington. Where there is so much smoke there is bound to be some fire, and the investigating committee would have hardly laid itself open to the pain and penalty of perjury to prevent a fellow man from getting an office, and es- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ES LEANS TO impeached and the Times gloated over it despite the fact that Schively's own evidence was to the effect he had grafted, if not from the state from individuals. In its defense of Wappenstein the Times was so obstreperous that it rendered itself ridiculous and so much so, that, the citizens came to the conclusion that either the Times was being paid fabulous sums for the space it was giving to Wappy's defense or that the editor had been sharing equally in Wappy's alleged ill-gotten gains. The voters turned his offspring out on the cold charities of a hard hearted world, and not satisfied with turning him out has caused a grand jury to be called to open the way to send him to state prison, and may perhaps, the Times is hollering "run, thief," to protect itself. WASHINGTON con- pecially so where the fellow man is as devoid of personal popular- ity as is E. W. Ross. There are, therefore, grounds for the committee's report, and the four-flushing of Mr. Ross adversely to the report is only what one who is stung would be expected to do. Some body, some time, somewhere has robbed the state out of property real and otherwise, worth millions of dollars, and, according to the report of the investigating committee, the bulk of the robbing has been committed since Ross has been iand commissioner, and, if he were not an actual party to the wholesale robbery, then he is too ignorant to be state land --- actual crime, gross criminal official carelessness, is E. W. Ross, Washington's state land commissioner, and the Times is branding the state senate as almost a band of highbinders because it voted to take from Ross his power to dispose of the state's lands. While it has not openly championed the cause of C. D. Hillman, the millionaire real estate man, charged with crime and now on trial, its news columns have shaded the reports in Hillman's favor, and to such an extent that the reading public can read between lines that the Times is for Hillman, though he may be guilty of all that he has been charged. Now as to the Times losing advertising contracts on account of the stand it has taken on all public questions, that is common property as many of the leading business houses have discontiued advertising with it, but that commissioner or anything else in an official way. Persons who were at Olympia two years ago when it was proposed that the legislature create an investigating committee to go over the affairs of the various state offices, will remember the frantic state of mind Mr. Ross worked himself into in opposing the creation of an investigating committee. His sobs and appeals against it were so pitiful that they were painful. Nothing that he could have said or done would have more thoroughly convinced the public in general and the legislature in particular, that he, Ross, was stung than his actions on that occasion. In FRIDAY, February 24, 1911 might be a personal matter and the paper might not particularly suffer from such a slump. In the past, however, the Times has been considered a rather good medium for political advertising, and persons seeking official preferment used its columns very liberally, but in the primaries just closed none of the candidates seeking office would put their cards in the Times and the excuse all of them gave for not doing so, was, "to have my card in the Times was a serious handicap as the people suspected every one who advertied in the Times were of the same stripe as the Times. In other words the Times just now is in bad and it is so on account of its seeming alliance with the criminal and vicious elements of the city. Slowly but surely the Times is reaching the end of its row and sooner or later its editor will leave Seattle just as he did Kansas City and Minneapolis, the most despised man in the whole community. our opinion every session of the legislature since E. W. Ross has been state land commissioner has been inclined to investigate his office; one did so and it is common rumor that, on account of outside influence, it was most beautifully whitewashed, and among the whitewash artists Hon. Edward B. Palmer, of Soap Lake fame, is said to have played an interesting role. Now, as said above, where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. Perhaps Mr. Ross, did not personally profit from the difference of a four million feet cruise of timber lands and a twenty-two million feet cruise, but more is the pity, for if he did not, it would show that he is either being used by the underlings in his office or that he has been criminally careless as an official. Summing it all up there are altogether too many dark and foreboding suspicions lurking about the workings of the land commissioners'soffice for the good of the taxpayers, and the house of representatives of the twelfth legislature should lose no time in doing as has the senate, and place such safeguards about that office that neither Mr. Ross or those employed by him, will be permitted to sit idly by while the state is being robbed of her valuable real estate. No other office at the state capital has had a hundreth part the official suspicion of wrong doing about it as that of the land office except the office of secretary of state under Sam H. Nichols, and he resigned rather than be investigated, and it is the private opinion, publicly expressed, of a majority of the tax payers of the state that Ross should resign, and if he does not, then the office should be abolished to take immediate effect, and once for all stop the everlasting bickering that that office has caused.
