WASHINGTON. ID. &C., May I'd
Members of the Republican National
Executive Committee assembled here
today to take stock OF the party since
the November defeat, look over the
field for the future and determine
whether meeting of the national
committee should be called to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY OF holding
special national convention.
az have talked with only three or
four members of the executive com
mfttee," said, Chairman Charles D.
Hills, land l find that
Some of Them Favor
a meeting of the national commit
tee. am not sure majority OF
them are of thatfopinion. we must
talk things over before making any
predictions"
When the committee met it had
memorial from the Cancellation
committee of Progressive Republic
cans headed by Senator cummins'
appointed as a result of the recent
Chicago conference. This formu-
lated a request that
ata An Early Meeting
OF the national committee be called
1T included statement of the re-
forms proposed at the Chicago con-
ference which would provide for
party recognition of the primary
system of selecting delegates to the
national convention and change OF
basis of representation to conform to
the voting strength of the party in
the various states, a thing directly
directed against the heavy represen-
tatfon of the South. Upon the mer-
its of the proposed reforms the ex-
ecutive committee does not pass. As
far as contemplated
Reorganization Plans
are concerned the only thing the
COMMITTEES may decide is whether to
call the national convention. Many
leaders, assert that convention IS
not necessary to carry out the con-
templated reorganization but that
the committee enact such plans.
The Progressive Republicans, how
ever. insist upon a convention.

state for one purpose: the erection OF
suitable and fitting capitol buildings
Unless used for that purpose, the lands
lie idle. Washington today is the
only state in the Union whose execu.
tive and legislative officers are housed
so poorly. Whether the state spends
100000 or $5,OO0OOO for new build,
ings, will make no difference in your
taxes or your neighbours.
A bill is now pending authorizing a
100000 bond issue aginst these
lands, method by which the state
gains benefit of the immediate use of
the money represented in the capitol
lands and still retains them, benefting
by their constantly increasing value.
Governor Lister favors such a plan
and advocated it in striking out the
$551,750 carried in the omnibus ap.
preparation bill.
We hope to see 1t enacted.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-President
Taft's last day in the White House was
one of his busiest. AS working day
it did not last more than ten hours,
but it was crowded with unusual
events, full of incidents that fall to
the man who sits in the White House
and crowned with pleasantries. The
president shook hands with several
hundred citizens and officials of the
government, received scores Of tele-
grams from friends all over the world,
signed his name to pile after pile of
pictures and letters and held three re-
ceptions.
He quilted the room he had occupied
for four years in the executive Office
with a smile and without backward
glance, and with many pleasant rec
objection of the days he has spent
there. He met his old-time friends of
the Washington diplomatic corps and
the justices of the supreme court in
the White House, and last Of all he
gave the first formal welcome in that
mansion to the president-elect and Mrs.
Wilson.

ONCE MORE-THE SECOND CHOICE.
Just by way Of parting advice to the
legislature in these last hurried days
Of the session we want to recall to
their minds our former statements re-
garding the iniquity of the second
choice provision of our general election
laws and to endorse heartily the bill
now pending providing for its elimi-
nation.
One Of the greatest single services
this legislature can do for the people
Of this state would be such a revision
Of the election laws that will remove
the present maze Of indirection and re-
place it with directness of method
which will give the voters an oppor.
tunity to register full and free express
sion Of their preferences among the
candidates for an elective ONCE.

THE CHAMBEn OF COMMERCE.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..
The selection of the board Of direc
tors Of the Olympia Chamber Of Com
merce for the ensuing year, which Ii
to be made next Monday, should re
ceive the careful attention of every
member Of that organization, for upor
their wisdom, judgment, progressive
ness and energy much depends fol
Olympia within the coming months.
There are two men in particular te
whom we want to call your special at
tention, one-P. NJ. Troy-because we
believe his record as director more
than entities him to reelection and
the other-Frank Kenney-because his
activity, business sagacity and pro.
gressiveness would be great stimulat.
ing factors to the work of the organi.
zation. We not only have the utmost
faith in both of these men but the
highest regard for their abilities and
their booster" spirit.
With the welfare Of Olympia upper.

that these two men are among the
eleven directors elected. for they will
be of inestimable value to the Cham.

THE wEsTsIDE MILL.

We recounted the purchased and
proposed renovation of the Westside
mill with distinct pleasure last week
for we appreciate the fact that the re
vival of this large industry will be a
potent factor in improving still more
the present bright business conditions
in the capital city.
An industry which bids fair to add
500 people to this city's population
should receive the encouragement, the
aid and the assistance of its residents
Likewise the decision Of the McCleary
company, the largest sash and door
factory on the Coast, in thus selecting
Olympia as it's exporting point should
be noted not only with interest by 9th
er lumber and logging companies OF
Western Washington, but should be
taken into serious consideration by
other classes Of manufacturers as we'll

THE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE.

While the country editors of Wash.

other on the Temple of Justice and
other proposed capitol buildings in
Olympia, we want them to stick to the
truth and to remember just two
things:
First: Olympia has been definitely
and finally selected as the capital city
Second: The money derived from
the sale of the timber and the lands of
the capitol land grant can be used for
no other purpose than the erection OF
capitol buildings and that the taxpay.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENT.
Wilson Exponent Of New Political Era
Say English Newspapers.

LONDON, March THE London
morning papers congratulate the Unit
ed States on the new president. The
morning Post, discussing problems fac
ing America, says:
Woodrow Wilson comes to the pres
idency when the old days are over and
a new era is approaching. Few Amer
lean presidents have entered so well
equipped, few have faced so many diff
ficulties."
The Daily Graphic says:
Woodrow Wilson has impressed the
Anglo-Saxon race of both the old and
new worlds with his sterling honesty.
That is the quality above all others
which democracies need, and Ameri.
cans must be congratulated upon hay
ing found such man for chief magis.
trate."
The Chronicle says that Mr.. Wilson
represents the new spirit visible in
more than one country, but nowhere
SO clearly as in America. The progress
sive world looks for much from him"
The Times says:
Both the president and his party
will be subjected to keen and continu-
GUS criticism, sharpened by the abnor-
NAL unrest in American politics and
the almost universal conviction that
great changes are imperatively requir-
ed. 1t generally is recognized that the
task upon which Mr.. Wilson enters is
one of SURPRISING difficulty"

What will be the policies Of the VIII.
son administration? We have them
summarized very briefly in these five
recommendations in the new presi.
dents inaugural address:
Tariff reduction.
Currency reform.
Industrial betterment.
Agricultural progress, including ad-
vancement of credit.
Conservation of resources now vast
ed.
Tariff reduction because it violates
the just principles of taxation and
makes the government facile instru.
ment in the hands of private inter-
ests;" currency reform because the
present system "is perfectly adapted
to concentrating cash and restricting
Credits" industrial because the present
holds capital in leading strings, re-
stricts the liberties and limits the op-
portunities of labor" agricultural
progress because we have not carried
science directly 70 the farm.
A stupendous program? Yes, per-
haps, but still program whose con-
stituents the American people are de-
handing shall be worked out to the
best advantage Of all and one whose
performance insures that its director
will keep closely in touch with the
thousands of individuals who compose
this nation.
Then bear in mind:
We shall restore, not destroy.
We shall deal with our economic
system as it is and as 1t may be
modified, not as it might be If we
had clean sheet of paper to write
upon, and step by step we shall
make it what it should be, in the
spirit Of those who question their
own wisdom and seek counsel and
knowledge, not shallow self salts
faction or the excitement of ex-
cursions whittier they cannot tell.
Justice, and only justice, shall al
ways be our motto.
Steadily, consistently and not hap
hazardiy, we shall move on. There
will be no tagging. nor yet will we
rush pellmell to our own destruction.
We shall build, strongly, wisely,
thoughtfully, and the chief builder
shall be-Woodrow Wilson.

LOGCED.OFF LAND BILL
Establishes agricultural Improvement
Observation-Disclosures Bonds,

Observation-Disclosures Bonds.
Compromising the Hanson and Baus
man plans and adopting features OF
both. the joint house and senate com
mittee on logged-off lands this week
recommended bill which provides fol
the creation of agricultural improve
ment districts" which shall be sepa
rate municipalities, just as port dis.
tricts now are. and shall, as a rule
comprise one county in each district
These districts may be organized by
vote Of the people therein, and may
then issue Az per cent bonds, which
are made preferred bond for the in.
vestment of state school funds, and
thereby given the highest standing in
the bond markets Of the country.
Each district is to have three COM
missioners, to serve without salary, as
port commissioners now serve.
The gist of the plan rests on three
points. First, the creating Of the dis
tricts as municipalities, which permits
making their bonds a preferred bond
for the investment Of school funds.
Second, in creating sort of revolving
fund that will necessitate only a very
small bond issue to start district and
make the district self-supporting.
Third, the plan lets the settler. who is
most interested, clear his own land,
eliminating any contractors profit on
the work.

among them.
