We condemn the Payne-Aldrich bill as
unjust to the people. The Republican or
ganization Is In the hands OF those who
have broken and cannot be trusted to
keep the promise Of necessary downward
revision. The Democratic party Is COM
mitted to the destruction of the protective
system through a tariff for revenue only
a policy which would inevitably produce
widespread industrial and commercial dis
aster. We demand the immediate repeal
Of the Canadian reciprocity act.
We believe In q graduated inheritance
tax as a national means Of eQualizing the
obligations Of holders of property to gov
ernment. and we hereby pledge our party
to enact such a federal law as will tax
large inheritances. returning to the states
an equitable percentage OF all amounts
collected. We favor the ratification of
the pending amendment to the constitu-
tion giving ,ne government power to levy
an income tax.
Peace and National Defense.
The Progressive party deplores the sur
vival In our civilization OF the barbaric
system of warfare among nations. with
its enormous waste of resources even in
times Of peace. and the consequent i'm
pOverishment of the life of the toiling
masses. We pledge the party to use its
best endeavors to substitute judicial and
other peaceful means Of settling interna-
tional differences.
We favor an international agreement
for the limitation of naval forces. Pend
ing such an agreement and as the best
means Of preserving peace we pledge our
selves to maintain for the present the pol
icy Of building two battleships q year.
The Immigrant.
We denounce the fatal policy of indif-
ference and neglect which has left our
enormous immigrant population to be-
come the prey OF chance and cupidity. We
favor governmental action to encourage
the distribution Of immigrants away from
the congested cities. to rigidly supervise
all private agencies dealing with them
and to promote their assimilation, educa-
tion and advancement.
We pledge ourselves to a wise and Just
policy Of pensioning American soldiers and
sailors and their widows and children by
the federal government
And we approve the policy Of the south
ern states In granting pensions to the ex-
Confederate soldiers and sailors and their
widows and children.
We pledge our party to the Immediate
creation Of u parcels post with rates pro-
portionate to distance and service.
Government Business Organization.
We pledge our party to readjustment OF
the business methods Of the national gov
srnment and q proper coordination Of the
federal bureaus which will increase the
economy and efficiency Of the government
service. prevent Implications and secure
better results to the taxpayers for every
dollar expended.
On these principles and on the recog-
nized deslrability Of uniting the progress
sive forces Of the nation In an organixa-
ton which shall uneQuivocally represent
the progressive spirit and policy we ap-
peal for the support Of all American citi-

compared with the procedure of the
State Capital Commission. This com
mission is composed Of the govern
or, state auditor, state land commits
siOner, one tax commissioner, and
three others selected by the govern
or. A committee of seven, five Of
whom are responsible only to the
governor.
|. The 1911 legislature ordered the
capital commission to:
1. Provide for the refunding of
outstanding warrants against the
capital building fund, such bonds to
draw four per cent interest. The
outstanding warrants referred to
are drawing eight per cent interest
and have been running so long that
the interest is now more than 1870
per cent of the principal. Why are
these warrants still outstanding?
Who is getting the 8 per cent on
them when they should be drawing
but 4? Ask Governor Hay.

2. The legislature instructed the
capital commission to acquire about
four blocks of land lying between
the present capital grounds and the
water front, appropriating $4,000
therefor. $42,226.36 of this mon
ey has been spent and less than one
third of the ground acquired.
3. 100000 was authorized for
the construction and completion of
a Temple of Justice" Contracts have

In the face of these facts Govern

A CHALLENGE TO GOVERNOR HAY.

Seattle, WASH, August 5th 1912.
Hon. NJ. E. Hay,
North Yakima, Wash.
My dear Governor
In the announcement of your candidacy you
take the position that the increase in Legislative ap-
preparations during your administration has been
justified by the increased growth and requirements of
the State which deny. l assert that the adminstra
ton of state government is costing at least million
dollars year too much
In order that the people of the State may have
better opportunity learn all Of the facts, invite you
to a series OF public discussions of this issue.
Very respectfully,
J. &. Lawrence.
