THE DEMOCRATIC
OUTLOOK FOR 1912

An interesting dispatch publish
ed III The Sun Yesterday tells how
thoughtful democrats III congress
are looking forward with hope and
anxiety to the presidential contest
which will begin is months from
this time. The figures in the last
election show conclusively that the
democratic victory was directly due
to the fact that the republicans took
to the woods on election day, IN
most of the states where the demo
Gratis won the candidates of that
party received no larger vote than
usual. The republicans were dis
gusted with their party and sulked
III their tents. In order for the re-
publican party to gain all that is
lost in November it will be only
necessary for the voters of that
party to go to the polls and vote
the party ticket. Between this
time and the presidential election
the republican party will have no
opportunity to rehablitate itself or
to regain its place in public conf
dence. Its only hope is that the
democratic party will destroy itself.
1t earnestly hopes that the demo
Gratis will begin the work of self
destruction by electing unfit men
to the senate by the election of a
Tammany politician in New York,
of Mr. Smith in New Jersey, of
some maui of the same type III Ohio.
In other words, the republican par
ty is looking to the dcmocra tic re-
dictionary for help.
But there is no real cause for a
larm in democratic ranks. Wise
leaders have come to the front and
the ranks will look to them to pilot
the party through the shoals. These
leaders were mostly driven into re
tirerent II years ago, and now
they are called back into service.
The policies which caused the re-
tircment of 50 many Of the colpet-
ent party leaders also alienatcd the
business interests Of the country
and caused general distrust. These
things have passed away, and the
business interests which control <
lections in such states as New York
New Jersey, Connecticut, Mary
land and Ohio seem at this time to
have more confidence in the demo-
cratic than in the republican party
BY business interests is, OF course,
meant all those engaged i'll business
including merchants, manufacture
ers, transportation people and farm
ers. Upon the prosperity of these
interests the labor of the country,
which is most important of all, is
Respondent.
Therefore it is first essential that
the democ ratio party in the 62nd
congress should do nothing to cause
distrust and threaten the prosperity
of the country. The party IS more
completely united at this particular
time than it has been since the cleo
ton of 1892, while the republicans
are divided into two hostile camps
which show no signs of getting to-
gether. The democratic outlook
for the election of 1912 is upon the
whole very promising.

ECONOMY IN
THE Legislature

The incoming legislature can
.,d should make a record for it
sslf that will be different from aud
srner;or to that of any of its prede-
cessors.
It will cost nothing to make the
record, quite the contrary, and in
making it the members of the leg
;slature may be sure that the peo-
ME of the state will be much better
satisfied with them than if they
follow the pernicious example of
the past.
One word expresses all that the
legislature need do in order to win
merited popular applause. Econ
omize.
Economic in legislation. There
are too many, too unnecessary, too
superAuous, too Ineffective and TOO
loosely worded laws on the statute
books, serving only to confuse, an
nov, and to be expensive to the
nublic, instead of serving to SIM
plfy litigation and the conduct OF
public and private business. No
laws should be passed which are
not absolutely needed by the peo-
Die. Every freak and crank in the
state posters the legislature with
bis insistency that his ideas must
be enacted into law, believing that
all that is necessary to reform the
world is to pass an act of the Wash
ington state legislature that the
world shall be so reformed. Reform
is good, is wise, is imperative, but
to be adopted as a law it must be a
reform that the people want.
Economic in appropriations.
Too many appropriations are pass
ed because they are persistently
lobbied for by interested persons;
though the public service and pub
lie needs do not demand them.
There is too much log-rolling in
appropriations. \ familiar spec
tacle at every session of the legis-
lature since statehood has been the
head of state educational institu-
ton, a political lobbyist of consuin-
mate ability who has played on
members of the legislature as if
they were penny whistles, shaping
and controlling legislation by any
means and for any purpose so long
as his appropriation for what he
wanted was forthcoming. He has
not been the only pebble on the
beach. There have been others.
This session of the legislature
should end appropriations by lob
byist.
Economic in legislature eXpens-
Is. There are too many legisla-
tive employees. Any one familiar
with the legislature knows that the
committee clerks, house and senate
clerks and officers of all kinds have
seemed; if they have not actually
done so; to outnumber the legisla-
tors themselves. The machinery
OF the state could be used to help
the state. Employees for state in
stltutions could in some instances
De borrowed. A few guards from
Walla Walla or Stellacoom would
not have been out of place in some
past sessions. Great economy can
oe had in legislative expenses if
Inc senate and house will do their
'ull duty and not act as if public
omce were a private perquisite.
economy and efficiency are the
watchwords of 1911 from the At
'antlc to the Pacific. Greater econ
