WANT To PATCH
CONSTITUTION
Especial to The Pressl

OILY MPIA, Feb. Bile Is a
mighty thoughtless legislator these
days who has not some designs on
the state constitution. Constitu-
tional revision is in the air, and
the general tendency of all pro.
posed changes is to take certain
offices "out of politics" by having
them appointive instead of elective.
The revision tales that are pour
ed into the ears of Senator Allen,
chairman of the senate committee
on constitutional revision, would
fill large book. Some members
are asking for the abolition of
state offices, others see great need
for reducing the time of the legis-
lature to 40 instead of 60 days and
still other do not think that IS a
day with mileage is sufficient re-
enumeration for the law makers.
There is hardly a provision in
the constitution that will not be
changed if all the resolutions and
bills are hearkened to. The
chances are that the constitution
as it now is will be found work
ing just about the same two
hence.
Revisionists want county clerk,
superintendent of schools, ETC.,
made appointive on the theory that
they would not then hold their Of
flee by reaso nof any political af-
citations and would be able to per-
form their duties better and inn
partially. Opponents of the revi-
sion program who fail to see re-
moval from politics by appoint
ment, but quite the reverse, con-
tend that wholesale appointment of
state officials would result in the
building up of practical and eff
ficient machine thtat would be
much worse than the present sys-
TEN.

years old they have unconsciously
inventoried all they know Of the

minds, and at 10 there is not one
of them who is not able to speak
English, French, Spanish, Italian

Their knowledge acquired
through their association with

tongue they speak.

!. HANDWRITING
OLD METHOD OF WHEELING
OFFICIALS BY SMOOT n
AGENTS IS PASSING AWAY
IN THIS STATE At LAST.
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 3.-The passing
of the old order of railroad domin
alton in state affairs is happily IL
Illustrated in the desire of the
Northern Pacific to secure the
services Of State Tax Commission
er j. e. Frost to act as tax com
missioner for the road. And with
this effort on the part of the road
comes the announcement that Jay
Sedgewick of Tacoma, tax com
missioner for the Northern Pacific
ever since it entered the state,
will be retired.
For a generation Jay Sedgewick
has roamed about the state, calling
on county commissioners and
boards of equalization in the in
terest of the railroads taxation.
Knowing nothing of the theories of
taxation, he made men his study.
And he wheedled, cajoled, threat
ened and by the force of sheer
good fellowship and often vinous
sophistry, kept taxes at low fig
ure. He was hale fellow well met,
a funny story always bubbling and
his expense account was as elastic
as his duties might require. So
he went for years.
But now, good government and
the people have advanced to that
undreamed of stage when the rail-
roads are almost tickled to hys-
terics if they are able to get a
square deal in matters of taxation.
They have no use for good fell
lows" because the latter can no
longer deliver the goods.
Mr.. Frost. despite the apparent
gelidity of his name, is a good fell
low, but he does not make bust
ness of it. He knows taxes in
science, theory and art. He knows
assessable property, no matter ug-
der what alias or how disguised.
II the railroads fear that it will
not get a square deal in some coun-
ty, it contemplates having Mr..
Frost at hand with facts and fig
ures instead of wine and cigars,
to plead for them. Mr.. Frost will
do no hobnobbing, provide no ep-
tertainment; but appear like an
attorney before court, have his say
and go his way. :
And so the old order changeth.

EASY AND GRACEFUL
ARE LATEST DANCES

There's preference for graceful
effects and rather slow rhythmical
movements in the attractive new
dances for the season. With fash
ions decree for the narrow direc-
toire and empire skirts, some of
the hurly burly of past seasons
has been dropped.
The good old-time waltz step is
the motif of many of the new
dances. 1t is being revived with
all its early charm, and is being
danced much slower than a few
years ago, due to the influence of
the narrow skirt.
The Skaters, a sliding hopping
dance with two-step music, has a
bit of the barn dance idea in it,
but much less hoydenish and very
pretty. 1t seems designed to kill
the popularity of the other.
