REMARK ON ROADS.

In the brazen game they have been
playing this week some of the Repub-
lican Legislators have had the temerity
TO assert that Governor Listers veto Of
the IL mill levy for the public high
way fund and his announcement that
he would veto 21a mill levy for the
ornament highway fund have blocked
ell road construction in Washington
for the next two years.
The Republican solons are merely ly-
ing again.
No matter how small or how large
the levy-1 mill or 100 mills-not one
foot of road can be constructed in the
state of Washington during the merit
tico years unless the money is specifi-
cally appropriated by the legislature.
Consequently the question of whether
roads are to be constructed or not still
lies wholly with the legislature, has
Lot been acted upon by the Legislature
and is not involved whatever in the
question of the levy.
Here are some more facts:
There is at present mill levy In
the state road fund ana half-mill
levy in the permanent highway fund,
which levies have now placed in the
Estate treasury approximately $1,000, 900.
In the next two years these levies, If
unchanged; will yield 100000 which,
added to that now in the treasury,
r,eans that the state of Washington
will have four million dollars to spend
an road construction during the COM
ing biennium, regardless of what &C.
ton is taken on the governors vetoes.
All road construction in the state of
Washington will be blocked during the
next two years II the Republican leg
islators In their wisdom, continuing
the disgraceful tactics instituted this
week, fail to appropropriate this s.,
900 900 so it can be used. Governor
Lister stands ready to approve such q
bill or q bill which will increase the
amount available during the biennium
| to $6.0O0,000, but he has drawn the
line on pork barrel grab which
would have yielded 100000 during
the next two years, believing not only
that the taxes are high enough at pres
cnt but also that the methods Of road
construction adaptable for Washing
ton are not sufficiently determined to
warrant wholesale expenditures.
Let the blame be clearly put where
= belongs: on the Republicans in the
Legislature.

Veto Was Expected.
Clarified Standard.)

Governor Lister made no idle threat
when he announced his opposition to
three state normal schools, on the
ground that the state University and
the Pullman school ought to furnish
the necessary facilities for training
teachers. His veto of the 100000 ap-
preparation to rebuild the Cheney nor
nal was to be expected. The bill may
yet become law over his head, but
probably he would not be specially
peeved if it did. His record for ecOno-
my would remain as consistent as be-
fore.

cannot afford such high tax and also
that it is too great an amount to be
judiciously expended under the super
vision Of the highway commissioner
with his limited force.
Governor Lister will make many
friends in Douglas county by opposing
all these appropriations and we believe
he is carrying out the wishes of a
majority of the people in endeavoring
to reduce the expenses of the state.

Lister Real Governor.
(Port Orchard independently
Take off your hat to Governor Lister.
Washington has real man in the
governors chair-a man who has con-
vjctions and the backbone to stand by
them.
The action Of the governor in at
tempting to hold down appropriations
and prevent vicious legislation, should
elicit a hearty "well-done" from every
voter and tax payer in the state.
The governor is not strengthening
himself with the greedy politicians
who make up very large per cent of
the legislative bodies of the state, but
he is growing stronger with the people
every day.

In vetoing the legislative bill appro.
priating 100000 for the rebuilding of
the Cheney Normal school Governor
Lister acted with courage, wisdom and
for the best interests of all the people
of the state of which he is governor.
That in refusing to permit with his
sanction the saddling of the state with
the burden Of this great slice of pork"
neither Mr.. Lister nor any of his
friends, of course, was In any degree
surprised at the resultant criticisms
of certain local newspapers, and selfish
politicians and citizens. But this
criticism is purely local; it by no
means is general.
This Cheney normal bill is only a
forerunner of others of like character
to follow. and in the fearless manner
in which the governor dealt to it just
the treatment it merited he has plain
ly indicated the fate awaiting the 9TH
ers when they reach his Office.
Here's One Kick Against 1t.
(Reardan Gazette.)
Governor Lister is making deter
mined fight against the Cheney Nor
NAL school at Cheney and has given
his veto to the appropriation bill that
passed both houses of the state legisla-
ture. He called his Democratic friends
of those bodies to him for private
talk, and while he is reported to have
said he would not urge them to aban-
don the idea Of passing the bill over
his veto, 1t was plainly the object of
the meeting to let the members know
his personal feeling in regard to the
continuation of a normal school in east
ern Washington and that the COVER
nor is making mistake is the belief
of many in this part of Washington
who will be affected by the measure.
The abandonment of the normal means
that the young people will be compelled
to 60 farther from home and at greater
expense for normal training, and
this is where large proportion of our
teachers are given their rudiments in
teaching school.
So far as is known the governors
argument against the appropriation is
that of economy. He would curtail
funds for educational advantages rath-
err than in some other lines where fu-
ture generations would be less affected.

Governor Lister Making Good.
(Puyallup Valley Tribune.)

(Puyallup Valley Tribune.)
Governor Lister, in his address at
the opera house last Wednesday night,
created an exceedingly favorable i'm
preston by his vigorous remarks on
the veto of the Cheney school bill
which carried an appropriation Of $780,
900 for the rebuilding of that struct-
ure. This state at the present time
has no more need of three normal
schools than it has for three univer-
stiles. Much greater eficiency-to say
nothing Of economy-can be achieved
by that vast sum of money being WISE
ly expended in the enlargement Of the
facilities of the two present normals
and by the employment therein of the
best educators available. Governor
Lister has displayed courage of a rare
and splendid sort by the attitude he
has taken on this subject, and the peo-
pie will back him up, He is making
the very kind of a record that on the
stump he promised to make and that
his friends all the time knew that he
would make. Strength to his arm and
praise to his wisdom!
Listers Veto Meets with Approval.
(Colfax Commoner.)
Governor Lister was right in veto
ing the Cheney Normal school appro-
priation bill. Washington has no need
for three normal schools. If the
schools at Ellensburg and Bellingham
ere not sufficient for the needs of the
state normal course can be added to
Washington State college and this will
cost but little. The only excuse for
rebuilding the Cheney Normal is that
Cheney and Spokane want it. Educa-
tional institutions should not be es-
tablished to help some town or COM
munity, but only when needed. The
legislature may pass the bill over Gov
ernor Listers veto, but the people are
back of Lister. They know he Is right
and when they have chance at the
legislators who sell their votes on this
proposition in order to get votes for
some pet measure of their own, the
people will act in way that the legis-
lators will understand.

bridgeport Republican,
Governor Lister seems to have caus-
ed considerable feeling over vetoing
the Cheney State Normal appropriation
for 100000. 1t is also expected that
he will not stand for a s1,500,000 tax
levy for the state highway fund, neith-
er will he permit to pass, without ex-
pressing his disapproval by veto, the
measure passed by the house last Fri
day, providing levy of $2,50O,000 by
counties for the permanent highway
fund. His position is that the state

POPE ESTATE IN
DEBT TO MIDLAND
Assertion of Trustee in Bank
ruptcy Who May Bring
Suit for 100000.

Suit against the estate of the late
c. H Pope for 100000, the face value
of stock the Midland Motor COM
pany issued and which was handled by
Mr.. Pope as president. is said to be
contemplated by Edward McCulloch,
trustee in bankruptcy for the property
of the company. If this is done, the
action will be based on a ruling made
by the circuit court of this county in
a suit by the State bank of Rock Is
land for the collection of treasury
notes of the Midland concern. The
court held that the notes need not be
paid till all other liabilities of the
company had been discharged
Last December, when the Midland
company was in financial straits, the
directors voted to treble the capital
stock by an issue CT 100000 This
added amount was taken by the presi-
dent, who used it in taking up treas
ury notes which had been issued from
time 10 time. Inasmuch as the new
stock was paid for with paper which
turned out to be worthless, the trustee
will contend that ii was not paid for
at all and that the creditors of the con-
Germ are entitled to remuneration from
the estate of Mr.. Pope.
