Watch Dogs
Are BuSiIy
Barking
fTimes special Service. ]

OLYMPIA, Feb. 26.-All the
little watch dogs of the state
treasury are barking just now
or else bowling In their anguish
over the passage by the senate
of the bill to buy the bridge
across the river at Wenatchee for
100000. Western Washington
legislators insist that this Is the
greatest bargain In bridges that
has ever been put on the bridge
counter, and that the state is
lucky to get 1t. But the western
Washington men who cannot see
100000 going away in one solid
chunk without getting a piece of
1t, are setting up lamentations
that would make jeremiah listen
like a jubilee singer.
They point to the fact that the
state treasury is getting so bare
that scoop is no longer any use
in getting the money out as it has
to be picked up piece by piece.
The best the state can look for
ward to in the matter of receipts
is four million dollars, while de-
mands already in foot seven mil
lions. And in fact of this yawn-
ing deficit the eastern Washing
ton men have the nerve to come
in and grab off 100000 to buy
bridge.
Many members of the legisla-
ture who are of pessimistic turn
of mind assert that this is the
signal that the lid is off and for
everybody to hurry up and help
himself before it is all gone.
OF course the bill has the house
yet to go through and there is
the governor waiting with poised
pen, who may or may not approve
of it. The purchase of the bridge
will be a fine thing for We
natchee. The bridge is now
owned by a private corporation
which is interested in the sale of
lands. The bridge is free to all
who care to use it, and about all
the state will get will be the Dig
nifty of owning bridge, the only
one across the river in the state.
Otherwise the people who use the
Wenatchee bridge will not be a
bit better off after the state has
spent the $3.50, 1000 except, possib-
ly, some certain few of her citi-
zens who own stock in the land
company.

"If the courts don't put an end
to the rule of crime in the coun-
ties in which the Judge and the
commonwealth attorney are elect
ed to uphold law and order, the
only hope of permanent relief
from such conditions is an en-
lightened public sentiment
aroused by the press of the coun-

newspaper which makes a fight
against such conditions, 1t should
be regarded as fulfilling a duty"
