HAY WOULD REVISE
WASHINGTON LAWS
TO MAKE ALL STATE OFFICES
But GOVERNOR APPOINTIVE.
UNTANGLE ANCIENT CODE
Has Been Amended and Repealed to
Such an Extent That Jurists
Are Puzzled as to Scope.

Olympia, Wash, May 1S.-Gov.
Hay has determined that when a
special session of the legislature is
called, he will submit constitution
al amendment for legislative ap~
proval. His plan will revolutionize
the present form Of state govern
ment and practically place the entire
power in the hands of the governor.
The amendment which Gov. Hay
will submit will provide that no
state officer be elected, other than
the governor and Acknowledgements
or. Under his plan the governor
will appoint an attorney-genera1,
secretary of state, commissioner OF
public lands, treasurer, auditor and
state superintendent of schools. In
other words, there will be cabinet
form of government, similar to that
in the nation, with the important
exception that there will not be the
legislative check, because the state
legislature here meets but biennial
ly and such sessions are limited to
so days.
1t is likely Gov. Hay will urge the
enactment of a law providing for
a competent commission to revise
and codify all the state laws. In
this he will have the approval Of
the supreme court. all other state
officials and practically the entire
bar.
AS a matter of fact, not one state
officer Knows all his legal duties
with the possible exception Of Land
Commissioner Ross. Ross had been
assistant Encouragement before
his first term as land commissioner
and about year ago spent $500 to
have the laws relating to his office
codifed
Most of the officers are governed

New-York tribune., 1909-01-04
STATE POLICE AGAIN.

The plan which Senator Raines is reported
to be urging upon Governor Hughes for state
police force is the same that he advocated eight
years ago. 1t was defeated then by public
opinion. and it is likely to have even stronger
public opinion against it to-day. The cities OF
the state are accustomed 10 regarding the con-
troll of the police as part Of their local self
government, and they would resent any system
which took that function away from them. Nor
can the argument be made that the results I'M
der q state police force are better than results
under the local police. Missouri has a state
police force. and st. Louis and Kansas City are
constantly complaining about It's political actIvi-
ties and agitating for a local system.
This city is making a worthy effort to work
out its own salvation in the matter Of the police
and 1t should not be disturbed There has been
progress in the last ten years. New York has
better police commissioners now than it used
10 have. Decentralization is hard to cure in Il
body whose personnel changes so slowly as does
that of the police. but one commissioner after
another has worked earnestly for betterment.
and with some degree of success In this
process public opinion has been educated. There
would to-day be no general tolerance Of com
missiOners appointed for political reasons for
there is an insistent public demand that the
police be kept out of politics.
To take from the people of this city the
control of their police would be to throw all
this gain away just at the time when the future
is most promising We should have to begin
educating afresh. arousing the whole people of
the state TO the need of keeping the police force
out of politics. And in the nature Of things
the people of the whole state would not be as in
timately affected by police questions, especially
local ones. as would those of this city. If the
proposed state police did enter into politics, the
people of this city would be powerless, unless
they could sympathetcally interest the people
Of the rural sections in their troubles.

CANADIAN RELATIONS.

The welcome announcement that treaties for
the settlement of all remaining disputes be
tween this country and Canada are practically
completed and will he signed in the very near
future marks something like the beginning Of
a new era In American relations with the Do
minion. For years, indeed ever since the sep
arate organization of the two nations there
have been more less serious controversies,
claims and grievances maring the friendship
which ought to prevail between us. In these
things ii must frankly be confessed the fault
has lain partly on one side and partly on thu
other. There has also been such 4 division OF
sentiment against coming TO a just settlement,
that unwiingness arising chiefly from mistaken
or unworthy motives. With certain type of
Americans it was once the rule TO put the
screws on" Canada in the crazy hope that thus
that nation would be brought 10 seek annexa-
ton to the United States and many Canadians
made the not altogether unnatural but deplora-
bic mistake of supposing that those Americans
were typical Of the fixed disposition of our
whole people
There was a time when union OF some sort was
not impossible, nor even SO improbable as to
seem grotesque. That was before the Canadian
provinces were united into Dominion and
when they enjoyed commercial reciprocity with
the United States. That reciprocity was profit
able TO Canada in a superficial and temporary
way, but it did not promote anything like
nation-building. Under its continuance the
Canadians would have remained nothing but
an agricultural people, finding a lucrative mar
ket for their produce in this country. Our abro-
CATION Of the arrangement was at the time con-
sdered bad blow 10 Canada and 1t did cause
some temporary distress. but 4 in fact
of the greatest blessings which ever befell that
country, for it led directly to the organization
of the Dominion and to the subsequent develop
ment Of Canada as a welrounded and symmet-
rical nation. complete in agriculture, transporta
ton. manufactures and commerce. and self-sus-
tanning.

department Of public service in so unsatis-
factory condition. There have not been many
tragedies or scandals in this New Jersey hos
ptal and in the last two three years the
character of its attendants and their service
and indeed of the whole administration, has
been materially improved. that its general
conduct now compares favOrably with that OF
other first class institutions Of the kind. But
such results have been attained in the face OF
great and unnecessary difficulties. To get good
service from q force which Is so frequently
changing in composition and which at all times
contains so large an unsatisfactory element IS
a strain upon the officers TO which they should
not be subjected while the presence Of even a
minority of unfit attendants IS 3 constant men

quire that the insane who are of all people

more intelligent, kind and patient care than
they are likely TO get from attendants mis-

and hedges at the wages Of street sweepers or

A SYMPTOM.

The organization of municipal employees,
though its purpose is not avowed. is a signifi-
cant incident. One of the organizers is re-
ported TO have said that 1t was time the city
employees got together for mutual protection, III
asmuch as even their children were ashamed to
let their playmates in school know that their
fathers were in the city's employ. If the chill
dren have acquired the impression that the city
payrolls are full of idlers and supernumeraTieS
surely public opinion regarding the city's mis-
government is pretty we'll formed and wide
spread. Very likely this is an cxaggeration; /;
still in a hyperbolic way it probably expresses
the realization of the employees that the public
mind is made up against snec,Tes. Supposing
they think that the public IS doing them an in
justice and that they are, upon the whole, a
faithful lot, overWorked and underpaid, they
will be taking the wrong way 10 set themselves
right with the people if they use their Organiza-
ton. as it is predicted they Will, to resist the
plan of the city authorities 70 make their days
work an hour longer.
It is significant, too, Of a new spirit among
the voters that the city employees should feel it
necessary 10 organize Hitherto they have en-
joyed comfortable blets, in which they were
secure They have not seen the need of united
action 10 protect their own interests. as city
employees abroad have Perhaps they have felt
safe enough under the Tammany system. but
whatever the reason. such sn organization as
that Just formed is long overdue If the expe-
rlence Of English cities is anything to 60 by At
present the Tammany orgsnizations smust seem
a dubious reliance. and the attention of the pub
lie is likely soon 10 be concentrated on payroll
waste. The activity of such organizations as
this is undesirable in city politics. but it is in
evitable as soon as the public is aroused 10 de-
