Commission Plan for Small Towns.
North Yakima-Senator-E Frank
]. Allen of this city announces that,
he will introduce and work for bill
providing for the adoption of the
commission form OF government by
cities of less than 10000 population.
Mr.. Allen says that the limit OF
population for the bill, the success OF
which he anticipates, will be as small
as he can make it, a population Of
5000 being his goal. The measure
will not be a substitute, but will pro-
vide for an entirely new charter,
adapted to the needs of the smallest
cities.
Mr.. Allen is also at work preparing
an amendment to the horticultural bill
which will enable communities pro-
ducing valuable crops to tax accord
ing to their production and to bene-
fit from the taxation.

MAY SHELVE THE LIQUOR
QUESTION IN LEGISLATURE

Seattle-Through the defeat Of D.
A. Scott, of Ritzville, many believe
that the next legislature will leave
the liquor question alone. Scott was
recognized as the dry" candidate for
speaker, in case of election.
UnQuestionably the leader for the
speakership is Howard Taylor, of the
F'ortieth district, Kin. county. The
other candidates are e. A. Sims. of
Port Townsend, in the 32d district,
and George E. Dickinson, of Ellens-
burg, in the 18th district. They were
all members of the last legislature.
Fight Over for Two Years.
Under the local option law, which
Taylor and others contend ought not
to be changed by the next legislature,
the question of the sale of liquor was
placed before the voters for the last
time in two years. For that reason
the Anti-Saloon League crowded as
many elections into the campaign as
it could. Throughout the state there
were seventy-nine distinct fights; and
although the vote generally was abb
normally low the interest In these
fights resulted in livel~ contests in
most of the places affected. Belling-
ham and Everett voted dry by major
tiles of 200 and 27S, respectively.
while Kent, which had voted dry
year age, switched and decided to
have saloons in the future. Auburn,
where the question was brought up
again, also voted wet. Some other
towns that voted wet were: Sedro-
port, North Yakima and Charleston.
crete, Arlington, Granite Falls. New
port, North Yakima and Charles.
Charleston tried "dry" experiment
early in the year, but the town found
other navy yard centers were 'swet"
and experienced a raid on the Enlist
ed Mems Club in Charleston, which
threatened to drive that organization
to some other town So Charleston
moved back into he wet column
again. Wenatchee reaffirmed it's dry
decision. Prosser, Edmonds, Mt. Yer
non, Hamilton, Palouse, Davenport
and Deer Park also went dry.
