American house of representatives
again become a deliberative body
responsive to the people as the ia
theirs intended that it should be.
We remind the taxpayers OF
this state that the republican party
has been in almost complete con-
troll of both state and county affairs
for the last 10 years. We assert
that the state officers have neglect
ed the interests of the people OF
this state by their inefficient and
wasteful methods in handling the
lands given by a generous govern
ment for the benefit of our pennal,
reformatory and educational insti-
tutions. Appropriations amount
ing to millions have been recklessly
made by the republican legislatures
forcing an intorierable and outrag-
eous tax levies upon wage workers
and property owners. Public office
instead of being a public trust has
been used as a reward for political
grafters and incompetents whose
unsavory conduct has besmirched
the good name of Our state and dis
graced us in the eyes of our sister
states. We therefore declare that
the time has come to turn the ras-
Gals out, and put i'll their place
men of honor, efficiency and integ-
rity whose public acts will tighten
the tax burdens. inspire confidence
and invite capital for the dcvelope-
ment of the resources of our below
cd state. The first step to this
end will he secured by electing
democrats for county officers and a
democratic legislature that will re-
duee appropriations within legiti-
mate and necessary bonds and thus
lower taxation during the next two
years.

P. \. v. ROSS
DID MAKE GOOD

TO say that our fellow townsman
p. II. w. Ross made big hit in
his address before the Chamber of
Commerce in Spokane last week,
is putting it none too strong. Here
is what the Spokesman-Review
said of his speech:
Meat was served at the Cham
Der of Commerce luncheon Tues
day.
1t was not cold meat on a dish;
it was hot meat OH Ellensburg,
Wash, and P. H. w. Ross, pres
ident of the Chamber of Commerce
of that city, delivered it.
1t was the sort of talk that Spo-
kane likes to hear. 1t was in no
sense an air pudding. There was
no frills or huffiness or glittering
generalities. The Offering was not
cooked up to enthrall the ear and
confuse the understanding. Mr..
Ross had something to say and he
said it. He quoted figures: He
pres nted facts. And when he
had finished Spokane knew some
thing about Ellensburg that she
had not known before, and that
something was of interest and i'm
portance.
There are great beds of coal,
large orchards, extensive hay fields
and fine buildings in and around Fl
lensburg The town is growing;
roads must build there to cross in
to the Puget Sound country.
Some people in Spokane knew
this. Others didn't. But now
that the delegate from Ellcnsburg
has come and gone the two cities
are better acquainted and better
friends in the future.
The luncheons at the Chamber
OF Commerce are ENJOYABLE and
helpful occasions, but never more
so than when there is cold meat Oh
the plates and hot meat in the
speeches. -

vention of Iowa declared unequivo-
cally that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
act was an act of common robbery
and an absolute violation of every
pledge i'll the republican platform.
Six weeks after these two conven-
tons convention was held in the
state of New York, presided over
by the deified car of Africa and
America, at which a stronger de
claration favoring the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law was passed than that
which was passed in the state of
Washington by the steam roller,
stand pat convention at Tacoma.
You are reported by newspapers
to have declared that you stand by
the action of the Tacoma conven-
ton; yet yon claim to be an insur-
gent, and presumably are follow
er of the tenets contained in the
platform written by your distin-
guished cousin CD in Wisconsin,
who follows the Iowa idea in his
description of this same tariff law,
and who says that the republican
platform of New York holds the
same relation to actual principals
of the republican party that the
hobble skirt does to a decent dress.
You are created with having e.
inundated as your platform in this
campaign that if elected you will
stand with Cousin Bob and
Judge Poindexter. Judge Poindex-
ter, since the primaries, has pub
licly and privately said he would
stand by the action of the republi-
can convention at Tacoma, thus
approving of and climbing upon
the republican platform, which
platform not only endorses the
Payne-Aldrich bill, but repudiated
the judge himself.
Will you solve the mystery as to
where you stand, somehow and
somewhere, in person or by proxy,
before the election, so that the peo-
pie of this district may have some
idea as to whether you are really "a
candidate for congress or merely

THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE PLATFORM

Following is the democratic state
platform adopted Sept. eth 1910
in the city Of Tacoma, Washington
"The democratic party of WASH
iueton, assembled in state conven-
tiou protests against the machine
manipulation which compels us to
meet as party convention to nom-
;,ate candidates for judges of the
supreme court,
I'VE are here as result OF the
action of the republican machine
noliticians in our last legislature
who took out of the hands OF the
people their right to nominate by
direct primary and elect non'par-
t;san supreme court and forced
their nomination to be made by
partisan conventions.
AT a time when Our court OF
last resort was under dark shadow
of suspicion or corporate influence

next four years, the special inter-
ests, which have possessed them
selves Of the republican party man.
agement, saw a judicial prize too
precious to escape their clutches.
At the legislative session OF 1909
the order went forth from monopoly
headquarters to repeal the non-par-
tisan direct primary method OF
naming supreme judges and to re-
store this power to partisan conven-
tons. Relying upon the blind
loyalty Of the republican rank and
file, the machine leaders accom-
plished this undisguised iniquity,
and, spurning with contempt the
popular protest which arose in
every part of the state, refused at
the special legislative session to
give back to the people the rights
and privileges of which they have
been denied.
The republican state conven-
ton two months ago was the nat
ural sequence of that legislative
iufamy Of 1909. Knowing its bus
mess and defying consequences it
did the work as only political ban
dts can be depended upon to do.
It refused even to pallitate the in
fanny which created it and deliber-
ately defeated a resolution pledging
restoration of the peoples rights
of the future.
The day of reckoning is at
hand. The democratic party be-
lieves in non-partisan judiciary.
1t has advocated IN the past and
demands now the enactment of an
open, trnly democratic peoples
primary for the nomination of all
officials. 1t stands today for the
restoration in full force of the peo-
PIES right to nominate their SUI
preme judges by direct vote, be-
lieving the people as we'll qualified

stables.
We pledge the people of Wash
ington that a democratic legislature
OF 1911 will effectually undo the
iniquitous deed which disgraced
the republican legislature of 1909,
70 that we may never again be con-
tronted with the emergency which
now compels this convention.
AS an earnest of our pledge
We today nominate five non-par-
t'san candidates for supreme Judges

These and other just and bene-

order that the people may rule and

ourselves in favor of and pledge
our nominees to support:
Direct nominations, that the
people may select such public ser
wants as they deem worthy.
The recall. that the people may
dismiss such public servants as
have proved unworthy.
The initiative that the people
may compel action upon such leg
islation as they desire.
The referendum, that the peo-
NAV accept or reject legislation as
they wish.
A corrupt practices act that
will limit election expenses to le-
gitimate purposes and make men,
and not money the deciding force
in American politics.
"A law compelling the publica-
ton of campaign contributors
before election.
"A really secret primary and a
true Australian election ballot.
And we favor law prohibiting
members of the legislature, council
men apd other public officials dur
ing their terms of office from ac
cepting retainers-fees, employment
or emoluments from public service
or other corporations or individuals
having or seeking franchises or
other public grants.
We believe in the conservation
of our national resources whether
owned by the state or the nation,
We believe these resources are
held in trust for the benefit of this
generation as we'll as future gener-
atoms. We believe that any
moneys realized from the sale or
lease of the resources of Our public
domain should 90 to the states in
which such public domain is locat-

ply of our rivers not only for the
purpose of preventing power mon
opolies but also to the end that the

My Dear Sir:-You are quoted
in the newspapers as saying that
there is no hope for your being able
to arrange with me for joint j.
tnery during any portion of this
campaign. ! am therefore an open
letter to you. suggesting that, mas
much as you have now secured a
sort of second in the person of
the Rev. w. J. Hindley to do your
talking for you, will appoint as
my second Mr.. V. Il. Tustin,
whose offices are in the Peyton
building, Spokane; and as we as
principals may not meet, by reason
of your Discrimination thereto, and
discuss the matters which are of
interest to the people of this dis
trict, desire to suggest that an
arrangement be entered into where
by our seconds may arrange a more
or less extensive itinerary and dis
cuss the questions under about the
same terms as were suggested in
my proposal to you of September
oath.
l trust Mr.. LaFollette, that you,
will receive this proposal in the
earnestness of purpose in which it
is made my sole desire being to in
form myself, if possible, as to what
the differences are in the belief
and probable acts as public servants
between an honest and conscien-
tious insurgent republican and an
equally honest and conscientious
insurgent republican and equity
honest and conscientious democrat.
So far as l have been able to dis
cover from anything published or
purported to have been said by you
anything which would indicate
your position on any of the live
public questions, and the platform
of the republican party in this and
various other states, fails to en-
Tighten me. For instance the re-
publican platform of this state de-
clares that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
act is the best tariff law ever enact

ton of the promises of the repub-
lican platform of 1908, while on
the same day the republican con-

Study the above tables carefully
and you will notice that the state
expenses have steadily increased
from s., 496, 922 in 1905 to IS, POS, =
Sl2 in 1909, an increase of nearly
50, 600, 900 in five years. Now let
us reason. If taxes increase in the
next five years as they have in the
past five, property will become a
burden instead of a blessing. If,
OH the other hand, state appropria-
tons are held down next year to
say 5000, 900, it will mean saw
ing to the taxpayers of Whitman
county of 10 per cent of the state
taxes paid last year, and reduce
your total state and county taxes
about one sixth. If you force your
county commissioners to Use the
same economy you can reduce your
state and county taxes about one
third in one year.
