The Great Legislative Graft

The Eleventh legislature will go
down in history as made up of the
most unreasonable lot of hooters that
ever met in any state for the purpose
of making laws. AS the truth comes
out thru members explaining to their
constituents how the ten million dollar
loot was procured the whole shameless
lot of law makers are shown up in
their true light.
In explaining the loot to the people
of Spokane Senator Rosenhaupt said
to Chronicle reporter;
The case of you scratch my back
and I'll scratch yours was the only way
in which we were able to get the appro-
priations which were so earnestly de-
sired by the Spokane people"
Mr.. Rosenhaupt stated that he was
in receipt of kilograms and numerous
resolutions from the Spokane chamber
of Commerce, calling upon the Spo-
kane delegation to see that every dol
lar asked for by the state college,
Cheney normal, the purchase of the
Wenatchee bridge and for the state
geological survey, 100000 for Col
umbia river Improvements and $50, 900
for the national irrigation congress to
be held in spokane was allowed.
There was only one way for us to
secure these appropriations, and that
was for US to give the other fellow what
ne wanted. We were all in the same
boat" said Mr.. Rosenhaupt.
Every member had his little graft.
Being his own particular graft it was,
Of course, a good, honest Christian
graft. Chelan county having her pious
little bridge graft, which we expect
will be benefit to all Of US in that we
get free bridge at the expense Of
the state, stood cheek-by-jowl with
the balance of the hooters of the state
treasury. That the bridge only cost
some SIPS, 900 and gives the canal
company valuable concession, is be-
side the fact that it is benefit to the
Wenatchee Valley and some people
who reside there. When graft bene-
fits "us' that makes it good graft"
and affords sufficient reason why we
should give it our moral support.
That is the way all the other hooters
viewed the matter, and to get our
share OF the swag we had to fall into
line. Just listen to what Senator Met
calf said in the closing hours of the
session; that arch-looter, Senator Ruth,
being in the chair:

entirely the fault OF the senate. Dur
ing the session a sub-appropriations
committee heard state officers, consid-
cred appropriations to be made and
made an effort to hold down the ex-
penses of the state for the next two
years. But when the report of the
subcommittee, which had worked for
weeks in absolute secrecy, was made
to the joint appropriations committee,
the senate members OF the committee
passed motion that the senate COM
mittee only should consider the report
. The house committee was packed out
of the room and the senate decided
upon the appropriations for the next
two years. The report Of the sub
committee was torn to shreds. The
state offices that had asked increases
were allowed. Other state officers were
allowed their estimates Of expenditures
because they were satisfactory as they
stood. An instance Of the lavishness
of the senate committee is the increase
of the appropriations in the governor S
office. In the original budget he was
allowed $34, 700, but the senate COM
mittee cheerfully raised the appropria-
ton to $40, 900. Other state officers
who asked for increases Jared equally
well.
When the state institutions were
considered the bars were let down.
By system of trading between men
behind special appropriation bills the
friends of state institutions were able to
increase their appropriations by $685.
900. The principal increase was made
to the three normal schools, whose ap-
preparations were twice increased-the
state university, the state college and
the reformatory. Then the senators,
with their will worked, held the appro-
priations bill until the house had only
the afternoon of the last day Of the ses-
sion in which to consider it.
The Schively investigation resolu-
ton was on yesterday. Members were
worked up over that, and when the
omnibus appropriations bill was read
late in the afternoon the representatives
were too fatigued to make more than
desultory inquiry into the merits OF the
bill.
What pious lot Of hypocrites we
all are. How will we square ourselves
next Sunday morning when we join in
singing (White-) Wash me, and |
shall be whittier than snow" and the
recording angel will write: You are not
so bad as the other fellows; you only
got part of the hog. Some of the
other fellows tried to get off with the
slaughter-house."
Every fellow who went back to his
constituents with his pockets bullying
out with loot confidently expects to be
returned two years from now. And he
will, too. All he will have to do is
to show the goods, and we will whoop
him up. This is the age OF graft
Means and methods count for nothing
in the sight OF results.

ington canal bill were selected fol-
slaughter. The Spokane Columbia
and Stuck river men agreed that in
the night session Monday they would
get their bills out of committee, pass
them and adjourn. Then during the
next day session, after getting the
Seattle and Wenatchee bridge votes
they would protest against the latter
named bills and declare them to be a
100000 steal from the public treas
ury.
The line of argument was to be that
the Wenatchee bridge scheme was an
attempt on the part OF corporation to
unload a white elephant on the state.
1t was to have been argued that no
vouchers of expense of building the
bridge had been filed with the legisla-
ture, that the bridge for years would
only benefit the people of the Wenat-
chez valley. The canal scheme was
to have been fought on the ground
that it was a grab Of public money.
The canal men, through ]. w. elise,
of Seattle, and others, had silenced the
opposition of the Duwamish river men,
and w. T. Clark, president of the We
natchee Canal Co., for whose benefit
the bridge was built, had lobbied dur
ing all Of the session and had his sup
port ready. So when the schemers
attempted to carry out their plan they
were blocked by the bridge people,
who held off adjournment of Monday
until their bill was passed. On Tues
day the canal bill was pushed through.
1t was necessary to get the united
support of the little fellows to make
the scheme complete success. The
Spokane delegation would have been
satisfied with a third of the $4,000
which they actually received, but the
Wenatchee bridge had been offered to
the state for $150,000 during the
tenth session. The men behind the
Columbia river scheme have worked for
years to open the upper river, and
although they asked for 100000 in
their bill, they would have been salts
fed with a tenth part of the sum for
the present. They, however, agreed
with the Stuck river men, who also
asked for 100000, to allow the ap-
preparations to be cut in two.
So the trades were made. By hang
ing together the little fish hatchery
bills were passed with the big ones.
w. w. Sparks, of Clark, got $4,000
for the relief of the veterans OF the In
dian wars of 1856. Kenoyer, of
Lewis, got SIS, 900 for the Southwest
Washington Fair Association, although
at the beginning Of the session it was
expected that one-third of the amount
was all that he could possibly get.
In some way or other, suited to each
individual who was in the game, votes
to swell the appropriation majorities
were secured. DR.. w. M. Beach, Of
Mason, had a bill which permits oyster
men to get fee simple title to oyster
lands. His support was secured on the
promise Of passing his bill. The weak
nesses of others were feueted out and
the trades were made.
The size of the omnibus appropria-
tions bill is declared in the house to be

If you do not like this country, have
no faith in its future prospects, don't
like the snow, don't like the people
who live here, just quietly pack your
grip and go to some country that suits
you better. We could not be induced
to remain here twenty-four hours if it
did not snow. 1t is the water from
the snow that makes the land fruitful
and insures crop every year. The
people who live here average up with
the people of any other section Of the
union, and you might just as we'll try
to sweep the ocean back with broom
as try to convince those of US who live
here that this country has not a great
future. To repeat: If you do not like
this country 60 away and make room
for some one who does like it. You
have a mission, of course, but we
would prefer that you follow it some
where else.

If it Is a Good Thing Help it Along

The importance of acting in concert
for the upbuilding of Leavenworth and
this portion of the Wenatchee valley
should appeal to every man who be-
lieves in progress and growth. The
Wenatchee Valley Development Club
of Leavenworth was formed for the pur-
pose of taking advantage of the OPP
portunity that will this year be present.
ed. For years the railroads, the mag
azines and the great newspapers have
called attention to the matchless OPP
portunities which the northwest has to
offer to the man looking for investment,
to the homeseeker, to the young man
looking for a new field of endeavor.
The low colonist rates now in effect,
and later on the low railroad rates to
the Yukon-Pacifc exposition will give
to the thousands of visitors who will be
here this summer the chance they have
been waiting for to see this country.
Every city, every town and village has
organized and raised fund for the
very laudable purpose of advertising its
particular section.
Will Leavenworth be behind every
town and village in the state? That is
the important question we put up to
the people of this community. Leav-
enworth has a population OF 1900.
This population can be easily doubled
inside of year or two if we will make
an effort to develop the surrounding
country. Within three miles of Leav-
enworth there are several thousand
acres of land that is especially well
adapted to fruit growing. The land
around here is just as good as that a
few miles further down the Wenatchee
valley. In truth it is identical with
that which produced the apples that
took the prize in competition with the
world at Spokane last November.
There is fruit land enough around
this town to support and make homes
for four or five hundred families. When
this is developed the population OF the
town will be easily doubled. To double
the population means better schools,
better roads, more churches, better So
ciety. In short, it means improve
ment and betterment in many respects.
Can you doubt the benefit? Will you
do your part to bring about this con-
dition2
Approximately, at least, this can be
done by acting together for the devel-
opment OF the town and the surround
ing country. If you do not believe the
club is pursuing the right course, that
is the best reason why you should
come out to the next meeting and give
those present the benefit Of your advice.
Organized on the broad plan of ben
eftting every man in the west end of
Chelan county, The Wenatchee Val
ley Development Club Of Leavenworth
should have the hearty support, both
financial and moral, of every man in
Leavenworth and the surrounding coun-
try.
