SERIOUS CHARGE
STATE PRINTING CONTRACTORS
MAKE THEM.
Say Louis Levy OF King County,
Demanded $1,000 In s)onsidera-
ton OF q Favorable Report by
the Committee of Which He Is
Chairman.

Olympia. Feb. 27.-Following is the
text of the charges made by the state
printing contractors against Louis Levy,
representative from King county:
"Mr. Speaker-The undersigned re-
fuse further to recognize the authority
of Mr.. Louis Levy, chairman of the
house investigation committee on print
ing, to subpoena and question us fur
ther upon matters pertaining to the
public printing.
"We base our refusal on the follow
ing reasons:
II. That said Levy insisted upon
his said selection as said chairman not
for the purpose of making an impartial
and honest investigation or of render
ing a report in accordance with the res
olut!on of the house creating said COM
mittee.
"2. He has declared that it was his
purpose to secure the said chairmanship
| in order to be in a position to force the
undersigned contractors and state print
ers, who have Deficiencies pending be-
fore this legislature, to pay him mon
etary consideration Tor a favorable re-
port.
"3. In pursuance of that avowed
policy, he has approached each of us
personally and through has accredited
agent to pay into his hands or the
hands of his said accredited agent the
sum of 81 SEQ, in consideration of a
favorable report. Supporting his power
to render such report by the assertion
that the other memers of the commit
tee could be fixed by him.
-. That we have personally refused
to entertain his proposals in the face Of
a continued and daily demand upon US,
made by him and his agent, to pay over
this money.
SO. That he has sought to coerce US
into such payment by false accusations,
by insinuations, by submitting us to
an inquisition outrageous in its impli-
cations, by tt reats, by cajolery, by
badgary, by distortion of the record
and, in fact, by all the methods known
10 the professional blackmailer.
"For these reasons we refuse further
to obey his demands on us for informa-
ton, and most respectfully ask that
justice may De done US and that the
state secure true and impartial report
in accordance with the resolution; that
said Levy be removed from the chair
manship of said committee and that
some other member of the house be
named in his stead, and we pledge you
the fullest scope and the most searching
investigation will receive all the knowl-
edge and aid that lies in our power to
give. Respectfully,

REVISE ROAD LAWS.
Professor Roberts Goes to CIym.
pia to Confer With Leg.
isIatOrs.

Seattle, Feb. 27.-Professor J. W.
Roberts, occupying the chair OF civil
engineering in the Washington State
Agricultural College and School of Sci
ence, at Pullman, has gone to Olympia
for the purpose of comforting with the
members of the legislature in regard to
the revision of the state road laws.
Professor Roberts has been in Seattle
for several days exchanging views with
leaders in the good roads movement in
this part OF the state.
"The movement for better roads in
the state of Washington, he said be-
fore his departure, "has called together
representatives from almost all the good
roads associations in the state to con-
suit with the legislature.
"The .people are demanding better
roads, and it is time to begin system
of road building that shall be perma-
nent. 1t is not logical plea that be-
cause Massachusetts and New Jersey
were 200 years beginning their perma-
nent and acceptable system of stone
roads that this state, only fifty years
old, must wait four generations to in
augurate a plan suitable to its needs.
"Many good roads conventions have
been held in the state the past year,
and in every case the plea was made to
begin the construction of model macad-
amized roads. At the request of the
comittee on roads and bridges delegates
from these conventions are to meet at
Olympia to confer upon the proposed
legislation.
Zone of the principal changes advo-
Gated in the presenat law is the reduc-
ton of the number of road supervisors
and road districts in each county, out
side of incorporated cities and towns,
to four. Where the expenditure exceeds
$500 the work to be done must be let
by contract, after estimates are made,
upon plans and specifications prepared
by the county surveyor. No state aid
for road construction proper is to be
asked at this session of the legislature.
It is proposed, however, that a state
BOARD commissioner shall prepare maps
and profiles and estimates OF the cost OF
roads to be built by state aid hereafter.
such aid amounting to one third OF the
cost of the road.
"The purpose of the legislation is not
to increase the taxation for road pur-
poses, but to apply business methods
in the expenditures and to secure engi-
neerins skill in the selection OF lloca.
tions, and in the construction and
maintenance of the roads.
"It needs no argument to show that
any measure tending to improve the
highways of this state will benefit both
the producer and consumer. and wheths
er they shall be macadam or Gelford,
or gravel roads, every interest cries out
Give us better roads.
"It seems hardly credible that as
much money is expended annually In
this state upon roads as upon our
schools, yet the records show this to be
true. We are proud of our school sys-
tenn, but to the average road we do not
point with pride. The schools are
taught and managed by those who are
trained for their duties"

A cigar 'capper" visited Augusta,
this week. and has been heard from in
the reighboring cities. These cap
pers" are hired by a tobacco house TO
travel about the country and go into
stores ana ask for a certain brand of
cigar which the dealer does not carry.
Refused, the "capper" seems surprised
to think that the dealer does not carry
it. Some of the unwary dealers are
led to think. as is the object of the
"capper's" employers, that the cigar
lSust be a new one and a seller and
in many cases he orders lot.
