The Extra Session

Governor Hay has called the
legislature in extra session to act
on the findings of the investiga-
ton committee appointed by the
last legislature to investigate the
charges of graft made against
some of the state officials.
It is, it must be, a source of
joy and pride to see one of Will
bur's former citizens as chief eX-
ecutive endeavoring to set pre-
cedent in establishing a moral
makeup of the official r ostrum Of
our state. Grave charges have
been made against the insurance
department of the state govern
ment, and not only been made,
but to an extent been proven
against the official at the head
of this department. Several
other officials also are in the lime
light, as well as charges of irreg-
rularities made against the direc-
tors of some of the state insti-
buttons.
In calling this special session
Governor Hay did the right thing
at the right time. He has medi-
tated upon it deeply and earnest
ly-it has taken entire posses
sion of his mind, and will hold it
until every rascal in official garb
of the state of Washington found
guilty of graft, irregularities or
malfeasance, is placed behind
the bars or ousted from office.
The governor is not looking for
the shallow and treacherous pop
ularity which is to be courted by
subserviency, and purchased at
the expense of principal and
duty. Instead he feels that this
great renovation move is not to
be carried as a triumph of a
party or a sect, but to be pur-

Has Its Opponents

On the 2erd of this month tie
state legislature is to convene in
special session at the call of Gov
ernor Hay, to probe the public
acts of the various state officials
and to consider the impeachment
of Mr.. Schively. There are a
great many who oppose a special
session and especially those who
have have had a hand in the pie.
When it is clearly shown that
there have been no irregularities
practiced in public matters it
shows poor judgment to oppose
any reasonable movement to clear
our state of corrupt officials. If
there is one place in our govern
ment where stringent laws are
needed more than another, it is
to guard against the use of public
funds or the use of the political
influence q certain official posi-
ton affords, for private gain, to
the detriment of the public. Our
laws should be made so stringent
that no one who has once violat-
ed his trust can a second time
have the opportunity to do so,
and his punishment should be
made so great as to outweigh the
strong desires for lust and gain.

Has Assurances

1t is to be presumed that Gov
ernor Hay has assurances from
at least a majority of the mem
bers of the legislature that they
are in sympathy with his views
on the matters which he will call
to the attention of the law-mak-
ers when they convene. Unless
he has this assurance the COVER
nor is going up against a propo-
sition that will tax his political
sagacity to it's utmost if it does
not entirely discredit him politi-
cally. It is a we'll known fact
that the governar has some bit
ter enemies in the legislature,
and the majority of them are
men of considerable influence
and are known to be scrappers of
the sort that neither ask nor
give quarters. Willapa Harbor

regular session and of introduce
ing new measures.
The Commoner would suggest
that the members confine them
selves to acting upon the report
of the committee and to such leg
islation as may be needed to rem
edy existing abuses in the con-
duct of state offices and to guard
against their repetition in future.
Among such legislation would be
the recall system. If the people
had the power to recall public Of
fcials at any time they saw fit it
would not be possible for these
officials to hang on to their jobs
in defiance of the general de-
mand for their resignation. The
knowledge that neglect of duty,
incompetency or petty grating
might result in their prompt re-
moval from office, would have a
wholesome effect upon men who
figure that once elected they can
do as they please without danger
of having their salaries cut off
until their term of Office has OK
pired.
The people are in no mood to
tolerate the expense of a long
session nor to have the members
fritter away their time in play
ing politics and venting their
personal spites. The legislature
should perform the duty for
which it is called in extra session
thoroughly and quickly and then
adjourn. The shorter the time
in which the work is accomplish
ed the better the taxpayers will

missioner J. H. Shively. This
calling of an extra session of the
legislature, is a serious PROPOSE
ton. as it will involve an expen-
diture of state funds approxima-
ting $4,000, which this north
western commonwealth is in no
position to expend needlessly.
On the other hand it would ap-
pear as though there is occasion
for a house cleaning at the cap
ital. 1t can be safely predicted,
however, that there will be
things doing at the coming ses
sion, and no one need be surpris-
ed if several sensations are

lie good, as we'll as a saving to
the taxpayers of the state who
are obliged to make up the defic-
iency out of their own pockets.
On the other hand it is the
duty of the governor to inquire
whether injustice is offered to
those against whom unwritten
charges are made, and if so, to
correct it. An act of the legis-
lature is the only sane source by
which justice can be secured, if
met by the fair force of deliber-
alton without rudeness or viol-
ence. Wilbur Register.

Duly Considered

Governor Hay has evidently
deeply considered the matter and
chosen the lesser of two evils in,
calling the legislature together
again to act in the matter of the
insurance commissioner and any
other officers who may need at
tention. There seemed no other
way to rid the state of an officer
whose grating has become no.
torious. Here is a great oppor-
tunity for the legislators to re-
deem themselves from an odor
almost as bad, profigracy with
the taxpayers money. but it is
doubtful if many have profited
by the after-view of the late ses-
sion. Already there is talk of
recognizing both bodies, re-
pealing the local option law and
opening up a score or more of
old scraps, apparently in the at
tempt to evade the main issue
which calls them together. AS

Hays Hit

Hay has made his hit and is now
bowling right and left to the
screaming grandstand. He has
called the legislature to special
session and when they have ex-
ercised their power the govern
ment of the state of Washington
will be run as honest as the mu-
nicipality Of the New Jerusalem.
The Republicans elected about q
dozen officials last fall and they
did it knowing that they were
two thirds rotten, but the voters
were sharp, they elected Hay so
that he could GUST all the rest.
There is not a charge to be
brought before this special ses-
sion that was not rumored dur
ing the regular session last win
ter. They killed it then and
what assurance have we that
they won't kill it again. Now
the Republicans will spend $50, :
900 of the peoples money for the
doing of something that they
were aware of and knew should
have been done last winter, but
refused to do. What do you
think of that for system of run
ming a state? Of course you like
it, because you said you did when
you voted last fall.
Land Commissioner Ross, one
of the suspects, has not submit
ted a report since he has been in
office. Hamilton, who has stolen
thousands. didn't submit his re-
port till the last day of the legis-
lature, and it was not examined.

Governor Hay has called an

to convene June 23rd for the pur-

the report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the state

the length of the session, there

THE STATE PRESS

The Tribune believes that Gov
ernor Hay is worthy of public
confidence, it believes that he is
striving to do his duty. 1t be-
,lieVes, further, a debt of graft
tude is due from the people of
this state for the service he has
already given them. 1t does not
believe however, that he is a
man peculiarly qualified for his
position. He is not "a man of any
breadth or depth of knowledge or
of any experience which fits him
for his office. 1t is to be doubt
ed whether he has ever read,
much less studied any standard
work on civics or economics. 1t
is to be doubted whether he is
even vaguely acquainted with
the political history of his own
country. 1t is to be doubted If
he knows who wrote the Wealth
of Nations" or whether he could
quote a line from the Declaration
of independence or the Constltu-
ton of the United States. His
knowledge of government must
therefore be very limited, his
range of vision exceedingly cir
cumscribed. -Puyallup Tribune

Something Doing

1t is rumored that there may
be a great deal doing at the spec
ial session of the Washington
legislature which is about to con-
vene. There are many reports
to the effect that some of the
most important legislation of last
winter will be taken up and
threshed over. There is no
guessing what may occur in the
way of new legislation. It is
possible the legislature will spend
considerable time on other leg
islation than for which it was
called. Whatever the legislature
NAV do it is hoped that it will
not be barren of needful acts. =
