'DITOR STANDARD.

EDITOR STANDARD:
After all that has been said ant
written about the extravagant use anC
abuse of the veto power by Washing
tons newly-fledged Executive, it may
not be amiss to consider briefly some
of the circumstances clustering about
this ungainly affair.
In the first place, the people o
Olympia are not the only citizens o
the State who have been taken abacl
by the freedom and apparent reckless
ness with which the Governor uses hi,
pen i'll exercising his one-man veto
power. And when he says Thurstor
county is not the whole of Washing.
ton; that the city of Olympia is bank.
rupt and seeks relief from the Stat,
through the Capitol bill, etc, h,
simply affects to perpetrate low
ridicule and contumely wholly unbe.
coming man occupying his exalted
position. But then he was pressed t.
the wall, and, of course, had to say
something and said it.
The glazing reputation of his
pledges, made in open convention at
Ellensburg, regarding the exercise OF
the veto power, one of the most sacred
of all official trusts, is without prece-
dent in the history of our State, from
its birth as Territory under the Or
ganic Act.
His stolid indifference, under the
searching criticism of Speaker Cline
and the committee of Olympia's repre-.
sentative citizens, amounts to nothing
less than gross effrontery. His whole.
sale Gripping of State Normal schools
has called down upon him the just de-
nunciation of the foremost educators
in our land.
Well, Mr.. Editor, it is only the same
old story. If you want to make day
light shine through n man in IL way
that would make the X-rays ashamed
of themselves, If you would make him
unman himself and develop the most
unmanly traits of his character, just
clothe him with Il little brief author
ity." There is nothing like the in
flating power of official dignity; it
eclipses the ancient leaven of the
Jews and knocks the modern baking
powders into the shade. See Pro-
verbs xxvi12.
After all, it were best, perhaps, to
throw the cloak of charity over his
actions; a cloak large enough to cover
the tattered mantle that descended
upon him from his distinguished
predecessor; for it is useless to hold n
man responsible for his deeds after he
becomes the tool of designing dema-
gOgues. The Governor came from a
district where the people have death.
less hankering after the capitol site
and if there is Il life hereafter the
miserable wretches will doubtless 90
on hankering and bowling for it
throughout the lapse of eternity. As
Stunning it to have been conditioned
from the start that the prospective
capitol bill should be killed, we have
the gist and explanation of the whole
matter.
In conclusion, while / lay no
claim to political erudition, / be-
lieve in being outspoken in all times
OF absorbing public issues as well as to
be n strict observer of those nicer
proprieties that cater to the adorn.
ment and polish of social life.

MONTANA MAY ALSO RETRENCH.
Bill to Cut Down Salaries of state
and County Ofhcials.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 6.-With the reading
of the governors message out Of the way,
but without having the committees APP
pointed, the Montana legislature today
contented itself with giving formal notice
of the introduction of bills. The sensa-
ton Of the day was the notice given by
Representative Sam Mulville of Butte of a
bill to pension all men and women over
the age Of 65 years. The bill was at first
thought to be a joke. but dt is not. Mr..
Mulville will fight it to the end.
Other bills were for the creation of new
counties; to provide for free books; to
make horse-stealing felony; to cut down
the salaries of state and county officials;
to amend the mining laws, and others.
There were 65 in all in the house alone.
The senate listened all day to the con-
tests of three seats by members recently
elected. The old members claim that they
were entitled to hold over. The middle
grows out of the question Of which shall
hold over in counties that were created
since the constitutional provision was
adopted. The committee on privileges and
elections will make a report Friday and
the matter will be disposed of at once. The
senate has as yet not appointed a chaplain
and has no intention of doing so. The
chaplain of the house throws in a benson
| for the seante each day.

START TO RETRENCH
IDAHO SENATORS WANT TO CUT
SALARIES OF employees.
In Montana Bill Has been lntro'
duced to Cut Salaries OF state
Omcials.

Boise, Idaho Jan. 6.-The session OF the
legislature today was without particular
interest. In une senate the day was de-
voted to consideration and adoption OF a
set of rules.
Introduction of bills began in the house,
16 measures being offered by members.
One bill was passed appropriating $4,000
for salaries and expenses. The bill that
attracts much attention is one cutting
down salaries Of employees of the house
and senate. The reduction is as much as
so per cent in most cases.
There was a long wrangle In the house
over the report of the committee on mile
age it being insisted by some members
that claims had not been properly verified.
The report, however, was adopted.
There is no change in the senatorial sit
uation. Tonight the populists were in
caucus, and it was understood an attempt
would be made to select a caucus nominee.
This will undoubtedly be Judge Clagett.
1t Is not believed, however. that Clagett
can ever be elected. Whether the demo-
Gratis will ever come to the support OF any
populist as a unit is also problematical. 1t
later developed that the populist caucus
did not take up the senatorial question.
Henry Nelson of Latah county, popu'
list, was today elected janttor In the
house.
