A BUSINESS COLLEGE.

Seems to us that there is no reason
why Ellensburg should not have good
business college. 1t does not require
any vast sum of money to set an institu-
ton of this kind on foot and keep it
going. Other towns in the east with
no greater population and with no such
opportunities as Ellensburg possesses,
have such institutions and they accom-
plish a great work and soon become a
paying institution. Some years ago a
gentleman came into a Missouri town
of 1000 population and opened bust
ness college in an old store rooTrII u
60 feet, vita score of pupils, almost
half of whom were young business men
of the town. --9fr1 He second year he en-
ployed one assistant; the third he hired
three. Fifteen years have passed since
he first opened that school and did all
the work himself, and today that school
is known far and near AMI hundreds OF
men and women all through the middle
and western states states point to that
little college with pride. At first, he
taught only bookkeeping, later on
he added short hand, branching out UNI
til his school now covers all the ground
covered by any first-class business col
lsge, and is good paying institution.
Ellensburg can have just such an in
stitution. Hundreds of young men and
women would gladly sieze an opportu-
nifty to secure business education If
opportunity presented itself right at
home, and besides, many would come
from distance to take advantage OF
our school and secure such an educa-
ton.
If no other way, let it be an individu-
al institution. There are in Ellenrburg
today half dozen tirst-class bookkeep
ers who might be induced to take up
this work, besides there are competent
teachers in short hand too, who could
be induced to join in the work. 1t is
thing badly needed in central Wash

SOME LEGISLATION NEEDED.

Judge Robert b. Green is quoted in the
San Antonio Express as follows with regard
to the poll tax amendment adopted by the
people at the late election
think the amendment will cut down the vote
locally fully one-third. believe that locally
it will make the republicans stronger, for the
reason that large proportion Of property tax
payers are Germans, and the majority of Ger
mans here. as / understand it, are republicans
] have no idea how much II will cut down the
vote Of the State but / think it will eliminate
the purchasabc vote 10 a large extent The vote
in the large cities viii no doubt be considerably
cut down
Before person is a qualified voter in any
election he is required by the constitutional
amendment 10 pay a State poll tax before the
first day OF February preceding the election,
which will be SI.75 Parties who exempt
from poll tax will not be required TO pay the tax
as prerequisite TO voting In this class are
persons over 90 years OF age, the blind deaf and
drmb. and those who have hut one had foot.
take it that registration should now be
abolished and save the cities and counties this
law is at present, the voter will have both to
pay his poll tax and to register. In case he neg
lects either then he would be denied the right
TO cast his ballot. his is too great a burden
on the voter. The poll tax receipt is the best
registration certificate in the world, and there
is no further for the useless system Of regis
traton.
The amendment in my opinion will be produc-
tive OF better administrations in the future, for
the reason that II an administration is conducted
properly the people viii reinstate II and the
other hand il it is not conducted properly all
/ the money man can rake together wouldn't buy
him back into office,
While It is held, and properly, by the at
torney general that the amendment goes into
/ effect at once, it will require some legisla
I ton TO render it capable Of accomplishing
I the purposes intended
For instance. that feature which permits a
man to vote upon oath that he had paid his
/ poll tax but lost his receipt, must be sup
/ plemented with n rigid provision of law look
/ ing to summary and certain punishment for
1 false swearing in such cases The general
I law on perjury will scarcely answer the pur
pose. There will have to be more definite
application of statutory law to such particu
lar cases.
! The Post agrees with Judge Green that
registration in the cities can very well be
dispensed with as an unnecessary precaution
and needless expense.
