Republican Endorses Lister.

(Kent Journal)
The governors vetoes, as explained
by him, are entirely along the line Of
a more economical administration. He
points out the taxes have become so
burdensome that people are finding 1t
almost impossible to meet them. In
this the governor Is absolutely right.
While 1t Is true that the appropriations
asked for by the legislature would be
nice to have and in some cases might
seem necessary, the limit Of tax pay
ing has just about been reached and
the people are crying for relief. The
state must learn that 1t cannot have
everything 1t wants any more than a
private individual. There Is probably
not a taxpayer in Washington who has
everything he would like to have, and
he simply has to put up with some in
conveniences until time as he can
afford to buy them, and it is so with
the state. To raise taxes to sum
where people cannot pay will Simply
drive people from the state and stop
all development. The governor points
out that even the omnibus appropria-
ton bill carrying more than nine and
one-half million dollars Is not all the
legislature is providing for, but shows
that fourteen million dollars will be
voted by the legislature for the next
two years. Good business sense
would demand that the governor be
sustained in his fight for economy.

Before the legislature was organ
lied, an unholy alliance was enter
ed into between Republicans and DEM
ocrats whereby all of Hays appointees
were to be confirmed and the Repub-
licans captured all the offices in the
legislature from the speaker down.
Just what the Democrats got, we have
never been able to learn, unless it was
a leather medal for being the champ
ion political chumps of the year.
If the Democrats in the legislature
desired to make a record for ecOnO-
my, they should have Joined forces
with the Progressives, who like the
Democrats, were elected on that issue,
but instead of doing the manly thing,
they cast the Progressives aside and
joined forces with the Republicans for
no purpose than to pass large appro-
priations over the veto of Governor
Lister.
The Progressives are the only ones
Lister can rely upon to aid in carrying
out his pledges to the people.

By forcing the Legislature to recede

introduce road appropriation bill for
one mill less levy on state roads, Gov
ernor Lister saved tbs tax payers of
the state two million dollars in the
next two years. The combine could
not muster enough votIs to pass the

with lower levy. Governor Lister

Compares Lister and West.


(Hartline Standard)
Two governors that are in the same
mood. They are all right. 1t seems
that we have governor in this state
that isn't afraid to exercise his mind
about the welfare of the state of which
he is head chief, and Oregon, that good
state with its rain and fog, has a man
at the wheel that isn't afraid of the
breakers and the roar of the law max
ing force. 1t seems to be a. craze about
this bill passing affair, but Governor
Lister and Governor West are the
right men in the right place. OF course
there are some men that want to run
the governors affairs and If they can't
do it, they will roar and make a big
noise, but it is not the way with all of
us, and 1t seems as though when we
put a good man in an important Office
as governor, that it isn't our business
to try and tell that honorable officer
how to run the affairs of this state.
If people have no confidence in him
why then did they put him in such an
important office? Don't be knocker,
rather, be a booster, there isn't much
time made in pulling back, let every
one put their shoulder to the wheel
and boost. The northwest is the only
country for an up-to-date and live man.
Let us work in harmony with good will
toward all men. Meantime let us as
state be as economical as is prudent.

Members of the present legislature
have sent written petition to Govern
or Lister urging him to call an extra
ordinary legislative session in 1914
for the purpose of striking from the
statutes all laws that are at present
imperative. unnecessary and unen-
forced.
No better work could be done then
to revise the statutes in the manner
suggested. Every state in the Union
has mess of laws that are dead letters
in fact, and they should be abolished.
Dead letter laws cause popular dis
respect for all laws. Every law on the
statute books should be enforced as
strictly as possible, and no unenforce-
able law should be written.

The fact that so many rural COM
munities have such inadequate school
facilities, and in some localities they
are deplorably so, may be traceable to
several minor causes, but the chief one
is that the taxpayers who live in these

corn, hogs or cotton than they are IN
boys and girls. This statement Is one
that is not pleasant to make, but 1t is
true nevertheless.

full If the majority of the members of

Two Sinners

There was a man one time. it
was said
Who went astray in his youthful
prime,
Can the brain keep cool and the
heart keep quiet
When the blood is a river that's 8
running riotY
And boys will be boys, the old
folks sag.
And the man is better who's had
his day.
The sinner reformed and the
preacher told
OF the Prodigal Son who came
back to the fold,
And Christian people threw open
the door
With the warmer welcome than
ever before.
Wealth aud honor were his to
command,
And spotless woman gave him
her hand,
And tue world strewed their path
way with blossoms a bloom
Crying, "God bless layde, and
God bless grooml"
There was a maiden who went
astry
Ia the golden dawn OF her life $
young day,
She had more passion and heart
than head,
And she followed blindly where
fond love led,
And love enchecked is a danger
GUS guide
To wander at will by a fair girl $
side.
The woman repented and turned
from sin,
But no door opened to let hor
in.
The preacher prayed that she
might be forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy-in
Heaven.
For this is the law of the earth we
know;
That the woman is stoned, while
the man may 60.
A brave man welded her aftel
all
But the world said, frowning
"We shall not call.
