ADDITIONAL LOCAL MATTER
Bond Proposition Discussed.

At the meeting held Saturday
evening for the purpose of dis
cussing the school room situa.
ton, a large mum Der of citizens
were present.
The meeting was opened by
Professor Ritchie, who discussed
at length the situation of the
schools at present as to their
needs for additional room.
It was shown that the schools
were overcrowded and that at
least four additional rooms would
be needed (three Of the teachers
for the additional rooms having
already been hired).
AS to the ACCESSIBILITY of erect
ing grade building on the
present site of the old building
formerly occupied as a Catholic
church, it was shown that this
building was now occupied by
two rooms and a four-room build
ing there would not relieve the
situation; and the erection of an
eight.room building was i'm
practicable owing to the lack of
room on the lots.
J. M. Richards and W. Il
Roberts, who had not looked into
the conditions of the schools,
we're of the opinion that a good
substantial building was needed.
These men, prior to the meeting,
did not fully understand the con-
ditions, but when the situation
was explained by Professor
Ritchie they we're Of the opinion
that good building was needed.
It was also shown that with
the present bond issue and the
surplus of $4,000 now in the
treasury and the raising of a
sinking fund at the rate of 81, OOC
per year the board would not
have any trouble in retiring the
first two issues of the proposed
bond issue when the bonds fal.
due. It was also shown that
should the present proposed
bond issue carry, sinking fund
of $1,000 additi onal would pay of
the bonded indebtedness ir
thirty'five years and would not
materially increase the taxes oil
the district.
The additional bond issue
would provide ample room for
some time and would increase
the taxes only $3.50 per $1,000
of assessed valuation.
The school board have but
given their views of the best
means for providing for the
crowded condition of the schools
and their views are with an econ
omic condition for the future.
The Pioneer has given this
matter space because we believe
that, as a public medium, we
should discuss this matter.
We believe that tomorrow even
ing, every person interested in
the welfare of this city should
attend the meeting and cast his
ballot. Matters of public inter
est should have the attention OF
those interested, and not an
expression from few.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 31.-Three measures
which may tend to give the state OF
Washington an independent judiciary,
and raise the present standard OF su-
preme and superior court judges from
political Office holders to higher basis
of public trust, have been recommend
ed to the state legislature by the King
county Bar Association.
The measures recommended with
reference to this matter we're:
First-The increase in salaries Of su-
preme court judges to $4,000 year,
and Of superior court judges in cities OF
first class to $1,000.
Second-The Engineering of the term
of Office for supreme court judges to
ten years, and of superior court Judge
to seven years.
Thrd-The holding of judicial cleo
tion at different time from other pc.
litical elections
These changes are all aimed at one
point, to make the judges OF county
and state courts independent Of poiiti-
cal influence, and to make the positions
so remunerative and 50 high in public
esteem that the best lawyers will seek
them as honors.
