HOW SENATE KILLED
PROGRESSIVE BILL
MEASURE PEOPLE AMEND CONSTITUTION DIRECT
ALLOWED TO DIE AFTER INTERFERENCE BY GOV


The initiative and referendum
passed the last legislature. But
another measure, deemed equally
vital by the progressives, was
blocked.
This was the bill providing that
the people could initiate amend
ments to the constitution.
Taking it's material from the
report made this week to the State
Federation of Labor at Spokane
by President Charles r. Case, the
Times tells what happened to this
bill.
At present the people can only
change the constitution If the
legislature is willing. The legis-
lature must first approve by a
two-thirds vote, then the COVER
nor must sign it-and after that
1t is put up to the people.
The progressives wanted the
people to be able to act directly.
Legislatures had thrown them
down again and again on needed
. reforms. Special interests Op-
posed to direct Legislation had
been able to block such measures
I'm the past-and would again.
So the bill was introduced.
1t wasn't defeated.
But it didn't pass.
1t never came to vote.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-01-18

Like other good measures this
bill was killed by indirection-by
delays by committees appointed
to kill off troublesome bills-a
favorite method of legislatures.
1t doesn't put the individual men
on record.
The bill was introduced early.
1t was sent to committee and re-
ported out. Then GOV. HAY took
a hand. He called in PAULHAM-
US, COLLINS of Seattle and 9TH
ers. Neither they nor Hay would
support the bill unless it was
amended to require a three-fifths
vote to carry.
The amendment was tackled on.
Then the bill lay in the pigeon
holes in spite of the efforts of the
progressives to force it out.
On the last day of the session
Senator Bryan of Kitsap forced
the bill on the calendar. But il
never came to a vote.
Tomorrow the Times will tell
about the recall in the legislature

Pittsburg, Pa.-Instead of officers
being guilty of assault and battery

rest a nude woman in a bath tub, the
woman in the case is guilty of re-

that as constable he had been re-

Korpanty was fined IL IL cents fol
each of her 200 pounds fhich Rudolph

PASTOR WOULD KILL
IF SON GOT LIQUOR

Poughkeepsie, n. Y.-The assertion
of DR.. Frank B. Crispell, pastor of
Hedding M. E. church, that he would
shoot the saloonkeeper who would
dare to sell liquor to his boy. has
caused much talk in and out of
church circles here, The clergyman
did not say so in his own pulpit, but
at a meeting of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union.
"If a saloonkeeper sells one of my
boys rum 1 will shoot him." DR.. Girls
pell declared. "Yes, will kill him.
This may be rather not talk, but
mean it. Rather the rum seller
should die than that he should be al
lowed to make a drunkard"
Asked if he had been quoted cor
rectly and if he was in earnest in
his threat, the clergyman replied:
when 1 said I'd shoot the man
who sold my boy liquor I meant it
just as stated. 1t is exactly what l
Intended to say and what 1 mean"
The clergymans words have Great
ed flutter here. Some of his pa
rishioners say he went too war when
he said he would destroy a human
life. Action may be taken by the
church officials.
