EMPLOYER Assumes All Risk

That manager assumes all risk when
he employs a boy under the age Of IA
years, contrary to law, even if the father
of the boy states he is oyer 10, is held
by the supreme court in Pierce county
case, in which a boy is awarded $500

thus establishing the principle that the
employer of labor assumes all response

same as liquor dealers when they sell
intoxicants to a minor must assume al

There is no subject more vital to the
people of Western Washington than that
Of logged-off lands. Colonel Case, who
wants to be governor, has declared he
is in favor OF not only clearing the logged
off lands of Western Washington, but
also of seeing to it that the people OF
Eastern Washington are given water for
their arid lands. His idea is that the
state should come to the rescue and
adopt a policy that would permit OF the
logged-off lands and arid lands being
peopled. It's the only way, he says,
the state can hope to increase its pop
ulation and at the same time increase
its agricultural resources. Case prom
ises to make this one Of the features of
his campaign.

FOR POPULAR GOVERNMENT
Let the Whole People Decide All Things
The Substitution of Popular For Dele
gated Government
nois affair



Washington, D. c., June IA.
Discussing means for securing effec-
tive legislation preventing misuse of
centralized wealth, Senator Jonathan
Bourne, Jr. today issued the following
statement:
The greatest problem before the
country is to make the people respon-
sible for the enactment OF laws by
giving them power to legislate under
the initiative and to veto under the
referendum in case the Legislative
branch of any state fails to truly re-
present the general welfare of the
people, and also to make the people
responsible for the selection OF public
servants under efficient primary and
corrupt practices laws, thus making all
public servants directly accountable
and responsive to the composite citi-
zen, individual unknown. The sub
stitution OF popular for delegated
government is rapidly accomplishing
this result, thus substituting general
welfare for selfish interest as the motive
power OF government.
The recent decisions of the Su-
preme Court in the Standard Oil and
tobacco cases demonstrates that the
next greatest problem before the coun-
try is the enactment of Legislation
which will provide broad, well-defned,
legal avenues through which dynamic
mentality with centralized wealth can
operate with the greatest efficiency,
but with necessitated recognition Of
the general welfare OF the people, the
rights Of employees and employers, in
suring to the small stockholders their
proportionate share of the increment
incident to the operation of the capital
in the aggregation of which they have
participated. Capitalization OF people,
government and business is an eco
nomic evolution incident TO our civili-
cation. Man cannot prevent but can
provide legal avenues through which
these great forces must operate with
the greatest benefit to the general well
fare and the least injury to the individ-
ual. The legal avenues should be as
broad and well defined as possible, but
barriers should be erected along the
roadways providing for the imprison-
ment of any individual who attempts
to break through them. Ascertain
ment OF existing methods and condi-
tions should be the first step; collation.
of opinions from practical employees,
EMPLOYERS and economic students, the
second; analysis and deduction, based
on the ascertainment and collation. Of
views, the third; the enactment Of
legislation, embodying conclusions,
the fourth; cooperation between law
makers and business interests, on the
lines of ascertainment of the best legis-
lation procurable, with resultant pro-
lection Of the general welfare OF the
people and cooperative rights OF en-
ployee and employer, the desideratum;
ascertainment rather than investigation,
prosecution rather than persecution,
the goal; publicity and not secrecy
one Of the methods; the highest possi-
Bile reward for legitimate efficiency and
rigid obedience to the law with per
sonal punishment TO the individual
breaking the laws, the result. "

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER
Nine CbeIan County Saloon Men Must PAY
Up the State Tax-Important Decision
by State Supreme Court
Olympia, June IA, 1911.

Olympia, June IA, 1911.
Throughout the state there are in the
different counties a total Of 864 liquor
dealers who have failed to comply with
the law and take out a state license,
and this means loss of $21, 900 year
to the state if not paid up. The state
tax commission has begun the work of
enforcing the collection of this tax by
sending Secretary E. ]. Koors to Seattle,
where he has made three arrests and in
a week rounded up all the delinquents
and compelled them to pay up.
This course will be pursued by the
commission in every county, and those
who do not pay up Immediately will be
arrested, brought into court and fined
$100 and costs. The attorney general
has held that every person who con-
ducts retail and wholesale liquor busi-
ness in the same place shall take out
two licenses, one for each class OF busi-
ness, or one federal license and one
from the state. Under the law all sa-
loon keepers, druggists, or other per-
sons who handle intoxicants for either
wholesale or retail purposes must obtain
state license, and if the 864 who are
delinquent would pay up it would bring
in to the state in two years the sum OF
$43, 200, or $1,000 more than was ap-
propriated for the state commission by
the Legislature.
In Chelan county there are nine de-
linquent saloon keepers who will be re-
quired to pay the license fee OF be ar
rested and fined. In Snohomish county
there are 90, which is more than there
are in any other county. In Island
county one liquor dealer who is delin-
quent; Wahkiakum county has but two,
while Spokane county had "a and Pierce
county 76. Thurston county makes
the best showing OF any of the counties
having a large number Of saloons, it
has but 7 delinquent.

The new commission which will put
into effect the propositions Of the work
mems compensation law passed by the
last Legislature formally met Thursday,
June 8, and ratified the selection Of G.
A. Lee as chairman and H. L. Hindley
of Spokane as secretary OF the commits
sion. The commission will use on its
stationery the name OF Industrial Insur-
ance Commission. To explain the
workings of the new law and to get in
touch with local conditions in various
parts of the state the commission will
as soon as possible arrange for tour OF
the entire state, and will appear before
the several commercial bodies in all OF
the industrial centers. 1t is found it
will be necessary for the commission to
have a suite of Offices down town in
Olympia for the clerical force, in addi-
ton to the offices in the state house, as
it is impossible to put the whole de-
partment in the capitol.

POuri of Northwest News
Seattle, June 13.

There seem to be a lot of foolish
people back at the national capital who
are in the habit of making blunders
which cost the people of the Northwest
good many thousands Of dollars. For
some time every offort has been made
to turn the tourist tide toward the North
west. It is well known that California
with its winter climate makes millions
annually out of the tourists who come
there for several months OF the year.
The summer climate OF the Northwest
cannot be excelled anywhere in the
world. Transportation companies and
commercial clubs, as we'll as enthusiastic
individuals, realizing this, have turned
their attention to boosting our summer
climate The result is that each year
the number OF tourists who come here
increases, and this year promised to be
the banner year. AS if they wanted to
knock this great asset Of the Northwest,
Washington City officials have, among
other things, tried to introduce compul-
sory vaccination for all who want to visit
Alaska. These officials say they do ii
because of smallpox in the North. AS
a matter of fact the North was never SO
free from this disease, and the govern
ment officials know it. Still they seek to
say to every man and woman desiring to
visit Alaska that they must first be vac
cinated. The tourist does not take
kindly to it, and the government has
received strong protest from the peo-
pie OF the West against enforcing the
foolish rule. 1t has been suggested
that all commercial bodies in the North
west write to their Washington repre-
sentatives, telling them in plain Ian
guage that they are against the enforce
ment OF the rule. Certainly it is of vita
interest to every community in the
Northwest that the practice be aband-
oned, for the tourist who comes TO the
Coast makes it point, as rule, tc
visit every community of any import

1t is held by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Lee that a minority stockholder,
creditor or an utter outsider has no right
to apply for the reinstatement Of cor
poration which has been dropped from
the records of the secretary of state for
nonpayment OF the license fee. To be
reinstated a corporation must first file
written application through its board Of
trustees, an officer, or some person au-
thorized to act in a legal and formal
manner on behalf of the corporation.

has concluded to send the check back

Within the next few months the edi-
tors OF the state press, as well as the
politician who controls a vote or two,
may begin to look for an occasional
call from the various candidates for gov
ernor. They are beginning to get busy
and, while they are not giving a great
deal OF prominence to their movements,
they are nevertheless as busy as bees.
Over on the West side you hear consid-
erable about the activity of Governor
Hay, who wants to succeed himself;
Howard Taylor, speaker of the house oi
representatives, and Colonel Otto Case,
auditor of King county. All OF these
gentlemen are in the fight, and there Is
every reason at this time to believe that
they will give the other fellow a hard
race. Governor Hay stands on his
record, which he seems to think is q
good one; Howard Taylor believes that
his splendid record as speaker entities
him to consideration, and Colonel Case
points to his long and faithful service as
a county official, during which time he
has practiced real economy and saved
King county taxpayers good many
thousands OF dollars. The primarie:
are really some distance off, but the
candidate for Office who knows his busi'
ness realizes that under the direct pri'
mary system he must, to be successful
get out among the people early, make
himself and his platform known, and
keep on the job every minute Of the day
