ANNUAL BALL

The eleventh annual ball of the Ev-
erett Shingle Weayers' Union to be given
in Liberty Hall on the evening of May
4 bids fair to eclipse all previous under
takings in that line. Every year since
the formation of the union in 1901 an
annual ball has been given and each sue
ceeding year has witnessed little
harder effort put forth to make the
event more successful than the one
previous.
This year committees having in charge
various features of the evening have
been largely augmented and the work of
preparation has gone forward with great
care. No boistrous nor unseemly con
duct will be tolerated The weavers
have always prided themselves on the
fact that their annual dances were clean
and enjoyable occasions upon which
man might take his wife, sister or sweet
heart with perfect pIopriety with the
knowledge that there would be nothing
to offend.
Wagner's orchestra of eight pieces
will furnish the music and it will be the
kind of melody which Just won't let
your feet behave" Checking privileges
for both men and women will be free
and free punch will be served through
out the evening. Tickets are on sale at
Sl.00 each; ladies free. No pass-out
checks will be issued and the gentle
men will save themselves possibly the
price Of a second admission by bearing
that fact in mind. Dancing will begin
promptly at s and close promptly at -.
If you want a Saturday evening filled
plumb full of enjoyment. come out to
the shingle weavers' eleventh annual
dance in Liberty Hall Saturday night,
May 4.

BILL AT LAST
ON CALENDAR
LEGISLATION LIMITING IN
FUNCTIONS WHICH A. F. OF
L. HAS DEMANDED FOR
SEVERAL YEARS BIDS FAIR
TO BE ENACTED AT THIS
SESSION.

Washington. April 25.-During the
entire session of the present congress.
efforts have been made to have report
ed, favorably, from the judiciary com
mittees of both houses, labors injuuc
tion limitation bill, but without success.
Recently, however, Senator Bacon of
Georgia introduced in the senate an in
junction limitation bill and Congress
man Bartlett of Georgia introduced a
similar bill in the house, These bills,
instead of being referred to the iudic
larry committees of both houses, as has
been the custom, were referred to the
committee on education and labor of the
senate and the labor committee of the
house. At meeting held by the house
labor committee on Wednesday, April
II, it was unanimously decided to fav-
orably report the bill, and Chairman
Wilson of the labor committee. the lead
cr of the labor group in the house, re
ported the bill to the house on Thurs
day, April IS, and it was placed upon
the calendar. This bill contains the pro-
visions which labor has been fighting for
many years, and signalizcs the influence
and power which the American Fedora
tion of Labor is welding among the ma
tional legislators.

A STATEMENT
BY LAWRENCE
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
GIVES HIS IDEAS ON THE
DUTIES OF STATE EXECU-
TIVE AND DECLARES FOR
MORE ECONOMY IN ADMIN
ISTRATION.

The power of government rests in the
consent of the people governed. No one
should question the right of the people
to resume and exercise that power.
There are three coordinate branches
/ of government. 1t is the duty of the
governor to execute the laws, not to
make nor interpret them. 1t is as wrong
for the governor to offer member of
the legislature the gift of an office to
influence his vote as for another to
offer money. The attempt Of the gov
ernor to direct and control the legisla-
ture is as much against good govern
ment as an attempt to control and direct
the Judiciary.
The state government is costing too
much money. Legislative appropriations
have increased from q little more than
SO 100000 in 1905 to more than 81 L.
100000 in 1911, an increase of 49,
100000 in six years, $5,000,000 of
which has been under the administration
of Governor Hay. This increase is due
largely to the creation of boards and
commissions, unnecessary expense in the
management of state institutions, and
legislative appropriations for local in
stead of state purposes, commonly called
the pork barrel"
Boards and commissions should be
abolished and consolidated until only
two principal commissions remain, the
public service and the industrial insur
ance commissions The state institu-
tions should be run at lower cost and
all appropriations not in the interest of
all the people of the state should be
vetoed by the governor, the only prac-
tical way to put an end to the pork
barrel"
The governor should be in his office
at the state capitol in the capacity of
business manager for the people, rising
above personal and party politics, being
governor of all the people of the state,
giving an actual business administration,
not theoretical political one. This
would save at least $1,OOO,O0O a year
to the taxpayers of the state.
The progress of today is toward the
exercise of the power of government
more directly by the people, as provided
in pending amendments to the state
constitution, to be voted on at the next
election. Under these amendments, if
adopted, the people can not fail to Sc
cure the needed legislation to abolish
commissions, determine whether or not
laws general in character but doubtful
in application shall be put in force and
give to the people of the state the right
directly to participate in government
through the initiative, referendum and
recall, and to secure presidential prim-
airy and such other acts as may be
needed to perfect government of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
ple."
TO these purposes | pledge all my
time, ability and energy if elected gov
ernor of the state of Washington.
JOHN G. LAWRENCE.
