THE CONSTITUTION
Is Persistently Ignored by
the Ninth Biennial
Session of the
Legislature

Some time ago the HERALD called at.
tention OF the small account taken by
the present legislature Of the plain man
dates of the state constitution, citing its
refusal to enact an anti-pass law, and the
lust for Office that leads to the acceptance
of Offices created by themselves, in direct
violation OF their oath Of Office, by some
Of the members.
Those two points were all this paper
touched upon, but, as will be seen below,
the seattle P..I., OF Feb. "a, sets up some
additional reasons, that are competent
to impeach every member voting against
the measures named.
The legislature, at it's presenC session
is evidencing strange Indifference to the
provisions Of the constitution. The SEN
ate killed the anti-pass bill, in direct
violation Of the mandatory provisions ol
the state constitution, while other pro-
visions of the same instrument have been
ignored by inaction.
For example there is the mandatory
provision Of the state constitution. Ar
ticle H., section 3, which provides that
the Legislature shall make provision for
state census this year, and that there
shall be reapportionment of both
houses of the legislature on the basis ol
that census. So calmly and completely is
this mandatory provision Of the supreme
law Of the state ignored by legislators
sworn to uphold it, that the matter has
never been seriously discussed.
The same Indifference is displayed to
the federal statutes requiring the district.
ing OF the state into congressional dis.
tricts. The federal law on the subject
is mandatory and its provisions were
carefully drafted for the express purpose
OF preventing the practice OF gerry
wandering" Yet this state presents the
worst case Of gerrymandering in the
Union. The legislature refuses to dis
trict the state and the people here con.
tinue to elect all three of their congress-
men-at.large. If this We're state where.
in the political parties were OF substan-
tial equality, the minority would be de.
prived of chance to carry any one OF
the congressional districts. AS it is, the
| refusal to obey the federal law on the
subject endangers the representation ol
the state in congress. Congress would
be acting entirely within its rights and
its powers if it refused to seat any one
OF the three congressman OF this state, or
the ground of the insolent disregard by
the Legislature of this state OF the plain
provisions of the federal statutes. This
however, would be apparently a matter
of serene Indifference to the majotity o.
the members Of the legislature.

TINKERING
AMENDING The TARIFF BY EX"
ECUTlVE ORDER SUGGESTED.
Secretary Shaw Wants Canadian
Wheat Admitted Free. AlthOuQh
the Subject Chiefly Interests the
Northwest, We Reproduce Opin-
ions of Eminent Eastern Papers.

The contention of Secretary Shaw that
Canadian wheat imported into the
United States and mixed with American
wheat in the manufacture OF flour for ex.
port should enter free is upheld by Mr.
Moody. The ground of the decision is
that the amount Of wheat 30 used can be
made to appear" in the finished product
as the law requires. The specific appi-
cation CT the order will be confined to the
northwest and is discussed principally
by the newspapers of that region; but
some newspapers prefer to view the
general bearing Of the new situation.
The Boston Post (Dem.) is extremely
sceptical Of the good effect of the order
on conditions in America, and says:
''It would be noble charity to tax
ourselves to make life easier for the peo-
pie of other lands. But have We risen
to that level? There is no evidence of it
yet. And no amount OF sand.throwing
is likely to blind the people to the injus-
tice it is proposed to do them. They
will be told that they will get more work
from increased exports. But the amount
go received will not begin to equal the
needlessly higher cost Of living here"
The Philadelphia Record Dem quotes
Secretary Shaw's statement that "it is
safe to say that more than $780, O,00O,0 600
of our foreign trade today depends upon
drawbacks for its being "That is,"
the Record comments, "the duty on the
materials increases the cost of produc.
ton to point at which export would be
impossible if it were not permitted to
draw back 80 per cent of the duty. 1t is
admitted that the duty increases the cost
OF production. The new ruling will
afford no relief to domestic consumers,
who will have to pay higher prices than
foreigners, or to manufacturers for the
prices Of domestic materials enhanced by
the duties.'
The Detroit Free Press (Ind.) antici-
pates violent opposition on the part OF
the American Protective Tariff League,
| the farmers, wool'grOwers, and cattle
raisers, but does not believe that the
order will be altered in view of the con-
tinued agitation for revision Of the tariff
schedules.
The CONSERVATION of the fostered in.
dustries will increase if we should de.
velop a foreign trade for wool manufac-
ture and for boots and shoes, in which
case Argentine hides and wool would
find their way into this country for man
ufacture. In an Interpretation Of tue
law whose chief effect will be to stimu-
late manufacturing industries and in
crease foreign trade it is very difficult to
see harm. There still remains measure
of general protection which stands in
the way of further development of our
export business.

TIMBER IN DANGER
Frank H. Lamb Informs
Legislature Of Grave
Danger Threaten
ing the Timber
Lands.

In communication to the newspapers
of the state, Mr.. Frank II. Lamp, OF Ho-
quiam, advances some excellent argu-
ments for legislation to protect the state g
timber lands from destruction by fire.
At the prestent time the state owns tim
bered land to the amount of S40,O 900 acres,
worth in the neighborhood of $40 100000,
and which will double in value within
ten years.
Each years logging operations in the
vicinity of the states timber land in
creases the possibility of the destruction
of the valuable growing timber by fire.
Every one who has studied the genesis
OF forest fires in this state knows that
as a practically uniform rule they start
on partial clearings or logged-off land
and invade the heavy growing forests
only when they get under great headway.
If the land surrounding any section OF
state lands is logged off, it is but q
question Of time, unless protective meas
ures are adopted, when fires will destroy
the timber on the state lands. Yet, in
all OF the years since statehood and since
these valuable lands became possession
Of the state there has not been a dollar
appropriated for their protection.
The need of legislation is clear. The
prospect OF securing it at the present
session of TIE Legislature is remote. The
session is drawing to close, and the re-
suits in concrete legislation have thus far
been nil. The greatly important measures
in which all the people of the state are
interested are still unacted upon and in
instances even uniformed. Unless there
is spasm of feversh activity from this
time forward only a very minute fraction
al the bills which have already been in
troduced will ever come on for vote.
1t would take two years campaign
to induce the average member of the
present legislature to take an interest
in such subject as protection of the
states property interests. If an assault
on the states property interests were in
contemplation that would be another
matter.-Seattle P.-I.

FRENCH POLICY DEFINED
Chamber Supports Premier's Atti-
tatde Regarding Morocco.

Paris, Dec. 16.-The Chamber of Deputies was
crowded to-day owing to interest in the formal
declaration from Premier Rouvier concerning
Morocco, following Chancellor Won Bt1ows state
ment in the Reichstag. The Premier's declara-
tion was moderate. He concisely explained the
desires of France in Morocco. saying:
The propositions of Minister to Morocco
never tended toward the establishment of a
situation similar TO that existing in Tunis. He
never invoked the mandate of the powers and
we never dreamed of attacking the Sultans
sovereignty. 1t is our special position which we
maintained, and this will be presented at
the conference. This is based upon the
geographical contiguity of Algeria and Frances
position as great Mussuman power. We de-
sire liberal government in Morocco assuring
equal commercial treatment for all the sewers.
France merely wishes to safeguard conscien-
tously her rights and retain the full exercise
of her liberty.
The Premer's declaration was enthusiastical-
ly received NJ. Ribot, leader of the Opposition,
said that all parties should unite In sustaining
the government, and further discussion was
postponed by the decisive vote Of 500 to so.
This interpreted as Parliament's approval
Of NJ Rouvier's statement.
