of the president on that time-that the
responsibility rested with the United
States to- secure good government and
fair treatment for those countries.
He interpreted President Wilson's

was ready To accept the responsibility
of insuring good terms for herself in
those countries and To those who went
there. and that tie United States
should set up high ideals of policy, of
Justice and of righteousness.

The first message of Governor
Ernest Lister, democrat, is before
the people. It is a remarkable
document, in that it shows the
new governor to be man who
can distinguish the duties of his
office from those of the states
legislators. And this is some
thing quite new for this state, at
least within recent years.
The governor does not make
any DEMANDS upon the legisla-
ture. He evidently realizes that
the state legislature is the law
making body, not the governor.
But in conformity with the demo-
cratic state platform, he takes up
a number of matters of needed
legislation and discusses them in
a clear manner, making seven
suggestions, two recommends
tions, and urging consideration of
two more. On other points he
simply gives a rational plan of
action, without suggestion.
Here is a summary of Governor
Listers ideas:
A presidential primary law.
Direct election of senators.
Non partisan elections for cities
and counties.
Abolition of straight ticket
circle.
Election booths better lighted.
Election ballots palmer, larger
type, larger squares, squares at
left of names.
Congressional re-districting, to
place the two new congressman.
Fewer state schools, but better
ones. (The state has been sup
porting five.)
Schoolhouses open for public
use when not in use by school.
Board of control to know exact
cost of operating state institu-
tions.
Separate sexes in state training
school, teach them trades, and
have them make articles for their
own use.
Use prisoners on state high
ways.
Sell grain bags made at state
pen at about cost to the farmers
Of this state, instead of making
a profit of 4096 as in the past.
Abolish tax commission, put
ting work under secretary of
state.
Abolish board of managers of
state reformatory, putting under
board of control.
Require all fees of state boards
to be placed in state treasury.
Abolish bureau of inspection
and have state auditor formulate
a statewide accounting system
which will be simple and effective.
Abolish commissioners of dairy
and food, horticulture, oil inspec-
tor, grain inspector, veterinarian,
and create commissioner of agri-
culture and inspection, who will
also handle inspection of commits
sion houses.
Not increase tax levy or make
bond issue for roads for at least
two years.
Make state bureau of fisheries
self-supportlng.
Have a state architect, and
thus save much money over past
custom.
Abolish from public printing
reports not of general interest.
Have state flag.
Better drainage district laws.
Committee not members of leg
islature to redraft bills before
final passage.
Not spend more than 100000
for exposition displays.
Develop state'slogged off lands.
If Governor Listers ideas are
carried out, it will mean the saw
ing of more than a million dollars
to this state, at the same time
giving a better service. And it
isevident that he intends to work
in harmony with the legislature.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1913-01-18

ing contrast with that of the new
board which took office four years
ago. G. w. Sutherland and w.
w. Bryant were elected as repub-
llcans, and S. S. Beggs, demo-
crat, was the holdover. Suther-
land was elected chairman.
When you sum everything up,
there is a considerable difference
kbetween republican and demo-
|scratic principles. There are mat
tiers of justice and courtesy which
are much more vital than rabid
partisanship.
The annual meeting of the
Stevens County Federation of
commercial Clubs will be held at
Colville on Tuesday afternoon,
January 21st, at which time the
officers reports will be submitted
and new officers elected for the
ensuing year.
h The federation has accomplish
ed much during the past year,
and owing tothe recent prelimin-
ary organization of a central sell
ing agency with headquarters at
Spokane which promises to solve
the problem of our fruit growers
in the future, strong support
should be given the federation so
that Stevens county will be right
in line to receive her share of the
benefits to be derived by such
cooperation.
Every man in the county who
is at all interested in the develop
ment of our agricultural interests
should attend this meeting. Make
it point to be there.
