INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

The news comes from Olympia that
the Legislature is fairly deluged with
petitions from all over the state ask
ing the Legislature to enact this gov
ernmental theory into law, or submit it
to a vote of the people in the form of
a constitutional amendment.
The request for law of this kind is
no longer confined to class but is
now advocated by large and respecta-
BILE element composed of all parties,
who believe that it is calculated to aid
in the promotion Of good, clean gov
eminent.
The following is taken from the
daily press report from Olympia:
In the house the initiative and refer
endum bill has been reported and
placed on general file and similar bill
in the senate has been passed on in
committee and will go on file on Mon
day. Since the introduction of these
bills very vigorous and well conduct
ed campaign in support of them has
been waged in many portions OF the
state thru labor unions, the state grange
and numerous civic and other organi-
cations. Both houses are being flooded
with petitions from all parts of the state
in support of them, as many as 1900 to
1900 signatures a day coming to the
senate alone. In this respect the init
tiative and referendum petitions now
outnumber the petitions for the local
option bill which, during the early
days of the session, held first place in
the number Of citizens petitioning fol

TREATING PROHIBITED
south Dakota Passes a Law 10 Stop
the Liquor Treating
Custom

The following comment on the law
recently passed by the Legislature of
South Dakota was made by the Spo-
kane Chronicle:
In passing a bill prohibiting treating
in saloons the South Dakota legislature
has aimed blow at one of the most
common features connected with the
liquor traffic. Whether the law will be
strictly observed or enforced is another
matter. It's passage will probably be
effective to some extent in checking
the let's go and have something"
habit, tho it may not entirely stop it.
Treating, as a social custom, has so
long been in vogue that it will not
pass away simply because there is a
law against it, but knowledge of the
existence of such law may embolden
many men to do what they are now
afraid to do-walk up and take a lone
drink. And there are hundreds who,
when the lone drink is compulsory,
will lose a great deal Of the enjoyment
they now find in drinking and quit it
altogether.
There is no doubt that the treating
habit, carried to excess as it so often
is, has been responsible for great
deal of over-indulgence. Drinkers, as
we'll as temperance workers, are willing
to admit this. Recognition of the fact
has sometimes and in some places
done considerable to make the habit
less common, but never to eradicate it.
There will be no little interest in
watching for the effect of the attempt
in South Dakota to control it by legis-
| lation.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-02-22

Usually it is a waste of time to pur-
sue a lie. 1t is not on my own account
but for the credit OF the church that |
make this statement.
In the first place, l have never made
any charge for services at funeral
in my life, nor has any undertaken or
undertaker's man ever done SO for me.
Undertakes do charge for services
their own services-at funerals. The
charge for services in the bill rendered
by Mr.. Forbes to Mr.. Coombs for the
burial of his baby, on Jan. 10, was
therefore made in the regular order of
the undertaker's business, so his en-
ployer, Mr.. Hall Of Wenatchee, tells
me. This should have been under
stood by those ladies from whom sprang
the story that the services" were my
services, and that l, the minister, was
charging for services thru Mr.. Forbes,
the undertaker's man. No sooner was
the story conceived, in some ignorance
and much excitability, than some one
took it step further, declaring /
know it is so, for she-Mrs. Coombs-
has the receipt" With this supposed
receipt behind them several Mothers
in Israeli took fire and swept thru the
town seeking means to get rid of a
preacher who would do such thing.
They did not dare, either singly, by
twos, or in force, to approach the
preacher. They sought the advice OF
a sane man and were told to get the
receipt. 1t was then that the bubble
bursted. There was no receipt, and
no such charge for services"
1t is worth recording, that as this
pitiful story found its way from mouth
to mouth many utterly refused to be-
lieve it. 1t is for the satisfaction of
these as we'll as the friends of the
church that I make this statement.
Singularly enough the story was already
nearly a month old and already refuted
when it reached my ears. People dis
like to tell i'll news which they do not
believe. S. c. Garrison.

STATE HIGHWAYS
Senate Bill Amended in Important
Particular

The following from the daily report
of Legislative proceedings at Olympia is
printed for the reason that we are In
terested in the progress OF the state
road bill, having one state road running
into Leavenworth, and an excellent
prospect of the creation of the Seattle
Spokane state road which is to connect
by way Of the Icicle with the state
road running from Seattle across Sno-
qualmie pass into Kittitas county, and
from here to Wenatchee, across the
Columbia on the new bridge, thru the
Big Bend country and thence to Spo-
kane.
The bill is to further aid and pro-
mote the building of good roads thru
out the state by making available the
state fund for purchasing right Of way
where necessary.
Before the bill for state aid to high
ways passed the senate an amendment
was adopted under which right OF way
would be included in the cost OF the
road in cases where the boundaries OF
state aid roads deviate from existing
highways. In other words the state
tax may be used for obtaining a right
of way as well as for building roads.
Senator Cotterill made fight for an
amendment that each county shall be
entitled to the full benefit of the state
highway fund under the provisions OF
this act to the extent of taxes payable
each year into the state highway fund,
but it was lost on roll call by vote OF
g to 81. The Pierce county delegation
voted against the amendment. The
amendment was intended to make 1t
impossible, if a county so desired, for
any of the taxes it paid into the state
fund to go to road building in other
counties. The senators from the small
er counties as a rule made the argu-
ment that the larger counties should
be willing to assist in state road build
ing in the smaller counties. Under
the bill the state pays so per cent Of
the cost of the road and the county so.
If the county commissioners start pro-
ceedings for a road they shall pay IS
per cent of the so out of the road and
bridge fund and IS per cent shall be
paid by the district in which the road
runs. If the people along the pro-
pressed road petition for it, then the IS
per cent shall be assessed against abut-
ting property owners.
