RUDK|N SUGGESTED
FOR PUBLIC BOARD
Former Resident of North Yakima
Spoken Of rs Successor to
John c. Lawrence

Friends here of John J. Rudkin, Of
Kennewick, formerly of this city. will
be greatly interested in the following
regarding him which is from the
Kennewick Reporter:
1.-THE Reporter has it from good
authority that John ]. Rudkin. sec
rotary and manager OF the Northern
Pacific Irrigation company at this
place. is being strongly recommended
by leading men throughout the Inland
Empire for appointment to the po-
sition ON the state public service COM
mission, made vacant by the resig-
nation of John G. Lawrence. It is
said that Governor Hay wrote to a
prominent North Yakima man. asking
him to recommend a man whom he
knew to be fitted for the position. The
reply to the governor was that If he
intended to consider fitness in filling
the position, and not to make the APP
pointment from a purely political
standpoint, the writer knew Of no one
more admirably fitted by experience
and training to wisely carry out the
duties of this important office than
Mr.. Rudkin.
RudIkin is Too Busy
1.-THE recommendation was entirely
unsought by Mr.. Rudkin. In fact he
knew nothing of his name being men,
toned in connection with the appoint
ment until after number Of influ-
entail men had recommended his
appointm emit. 1t is not known what
the governors intentions in the mat
ter are. but Mr.. Rudkin states EN-
phatically that, while he appreciates
the efforts of his friends in his be-
half, he could not afford to leave his
large interests to take public posi-
ton which, as is true In this case
would require all of his time.

Benefit Will Be General

The Illegal diversion of water will
be largely a matter of past history
when the developments planned are
completed. Not only will financial in
terests be benefited but social condi-
tions in the Ahtanum valley will be
materially benefited also.
The organization has now assumed
such momentum that to join in the
general movement has become mat
ter of self protection to those hitherto
opposing progress.
1t is certainly a progressive move
and one which has the support OF
every one interested in the welfare of
this beautiful valley.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1911-12-27
Plan of Organization

The plan of organization contem-
plates that the expense of develop
ing additional water supply shall be
borne by those lands having no pres
ent legal title to the water, and that
they will be directly benefited by this
increase of water throughout the sum-
mer season, to the extent of the wa
ter so developed. Through this pro-
cess imperfect title to water will be
changed to perfect titles.
Inasmuch as arid land without wa
ter suffers a discount in values and is
handicapped in the proper cultivation
of crops it may readily be seen how
such conditions here warrant the ex-
penditure of a sum sufficient to cor
rect the deficiency.

DUBLIC OPINION will support the newlyformed Walters
Union in any course short of actual violence that they may
take in %furthcranc, of their resolve to get a living wage out
Of the hotels ard restaurants and to abolish tips.
The tip system is unjust to the employees Of the eating places
and oppressive to patrons. The laborcr is worthy Of his hire.
He ought to get all Of it from his employer nor have any portion
dependent on the accident Of the diners purse or mood, or prodigal
or thrifty bent. That ought not to seem to come to him a a favor
which should be his Of right. The diner, on the other hand, ought
to be rid of the uncertainties and annoyances arising from an unde-
fined obligation on his part which is not put in contractual form
and ful6lment of which may appear weak good nature rather than
justice done.
The tipping system dates back to unhappy times when service
Of all kinds was rewarded rather than paid, when every man
played the courtier because he had to, and knees were suppler than
now. Other occupations have been emancipatcd and standardized
as to duties and pay. 1t is high time walters had their dubious
privileges replaced with rights which other labor enjoys and they
demand.
Tipping goes with half-pay, and hours abnormally long, and EN-
ployment conditions glimpsed in the statements of a physician that
in Germany only a fifth of the walters reach forty years, only half
ever marry and three times their due proportion commit suicide.
1t goes with the indignity Of nightly search for concealed valuabes
to which many walters are subjected.
If the worst came to the worst and it were necessary for the
walters to strike in order to get proper pay and radiance of tips,
the public would support them to the extent Of cheerfully buying
deicatessen food and even eating at home.

DIsMANTLE THE BROOKLYN YARD?

DOwNTOWN CHURCHES occupying sites that have become
valuable for business have a way Of selling out and relocating
on cheaper land further north. That is about what the
Government is thinking Of doing with the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
1t would like to sell the site Of this yard to the City of New York
for "from $~15,OO0,O0O to $4OyOO0,O 600" dismantle it and create in
Nsrragansett Bay a great naval base to take the place of the Brook.
Ign. Boston and Portsmouth navy yards, using therefor the money
obtained from this city.
From the business standpoint New York could we'll stand the
going Of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The yard occupies three miles
Of the most centrally located water frontage in the city-the Walla-
bout Bay-and covers IA acres, and the urgently needed docks
with the attendant factories that would take its place would employ
more men and originate more business than this Government int-
tuition. But it is not certain that some Of the land would not revert
10 private owners instead of to the Government after the plant was
removed, or that the city could pay the sum the Government expects
to realize. Nor may it be forgotten that the Brooklyn yard has an
expensive and irremovable plant fitted to build the biggest battle
ships, and that the largest property interests and the greatest oceaI
commerce are centred right here. These it is the navy's function

contemplated that the senate shall
exercise electoral powers, thus actual
ly determining who the appointee
shall be, depriving the governor
thereby of his prerogative Of appoint
ment, without regard to the excellence
of his selections. nor the wisdom that
controls his use of the power in
trusted to him.
The governor says that much of
the money, used upon the highways
of the state is wasted, under the pres
sent administration of the highway
funds, which amount to millions. Pro-
tests against the condition of the
highways have been general for some
years and the indictment drawn by
the governor is moderate.
The governor would be amply justi-
fed in removing Mr.. Macdonald, but,
unfortunately no provision giving the
executive power of removal, exists.
Here the recall would be valuable.
Who can doubt but that, in the exist
ing circumstances, a suitable recall
petition would be promptly forthcom-
ing, or that the highway commission
err would be promptly discharged at
the ballot box by an indignant cleo
torate.
Such a lesson once. taught would
not soon have to be repeated.

THE SOCIAL EVIL

The age is scientific. 1t demands
the cessation of waste and economy
in life and effort. The waste and
economic losses caused by disease are
enormous and a large part of this loss
may be prevented by proper meas
ures and right ordering of social
conditions. Striking among these
conditions is that state of things
usually referred to as 1.-The social
evil,'' from which flows much that is
highly injurious, even to those who
are innocent of offense. The ques-
ton has just been discussed by DR..
Thomas NJ Hepburn of Hartford, be-
fore, the Charities Conference, in a
complete and instructive manner.
How far the times have changed from
the sham and prudery of former days
is indicated by the appearance of DR..
Hepburn's paper in full, in the New
Haven Union. The paper was read,
