JUGGLING OF ROAD
DISTRICTS CHARGED
TO COMMISSIONERS
Section No. Said to Have Been
Extended East to Include Yelm
so Republican Might Be
Supervisor.
ASSOCIATION IS IGNORED
Bull Moosers "Undesirable''-
Democrat Borrows King Drag
to Improve Highway at
Own Expense.

The juggling Of the Thurston coun-
ty road districts so as to give the
county commissioners an excuse for
refusing to appoint a road supervisor
Of undesirable" political faith came
to light this week and reveals a Pc
culiarly tangled skein of affairs so far
as district No. l is concerned.
This district formerly comprised the
northeastern part of the county. Un-
til recently and for the past year John
Rogers, living between Olympia and
Lacey, was the supervisor. When his
term expired the members of the Good
Roads association of that district rec
commended his re-appointment by the
commissioners or the appointment of
Mr.. Cole or Thomas Sleator.
The three gentlemen in question. so
the story goes. happened to be Bull
Moosers. The commissioners are Re-
publicans. To afford an excuse for not
appointing one of the three, the COM
missioners changed the boundary lines
CT the district, extending the southern
line to include Yelm. and appointed
Mr.. Mckenzie of that town as super
visor.
Mr.. Mckenzie soon tired of the job,
however, and the commissioners, again
ignoring the request Of the members
of the Good Roads association. recently
appointed H. A. Raymond, also resi-
dent of the eastern part Of the county.
This week ]. v. Huntamer, Lacey
racher and Democrat, wanting the
three-mile road between that town and
Olympia improved, suggested to Mr..
Raymond that the county's King road
drag be pressed into service. Mr.. Ray
mond replied with the statement that
the county had no funds for the pur-
pose. Mr.. Huntamer then asked per-
mission to use the drag on the road
at his own expense. which was granted
after little demurring on the part Of
the supervisor.
Mr.. Huntamer then obtained the
drag from former Supervisor Rogers,
in whose possession It still remained,
and is at work repairing the road at
his own expense. He suggests that
other ranchers throughout the county
follow his example and improve the
county highways.

A Republican Paper Speaks.
(Chehalis Bee-Nugget Republican,
While we differ politically with Gov
ernor Lister, 1t is but just to state that
he is an able and clean man, and that
the Democrats could not have picked
worthier man in the state for the job.
BY the November election results, 1t is
evident that Governor Lister takes his
position with the confidence of ma
jority Of the people behind him. He
will not fnd the pathway strewn with
roses all the way, but he will be in q
position to show the people what is in
him that qualities him for his present
job. Governor Lister has the respect
of many people Of this state, even
though they may not agree with him
on many matters.
Republican Likes Exposition Stand.
(Friday Harbor Journal. Republican,
In his message to the legislature Gov
ernor Lister recommends that the APP
preparation for an exhibit at the Pan
anna exposition be limited to 100000,
and the balance of the proposed half
million dollars be used in clearing
logged-off lands, to be sold to new set
tiers at actual cost. That would be
wise and profitable investment, and 1t
would bring more good settlers into
the state than by spending the money
for show purposes-but it would mean
hard work instead of furnishing soft
snaps.
Strong Inaugural Address.
(Kent Journal. Republican,
The first message to the legislature
~ Governor Lister was state paper
OF more than ordinary interest. L
was the observation Of hard headed
man Of experience in business affairs
and not the studied phrases Of poll
tician. II the legislature will follow
out the ideas expressed they will do
the state q great service.
It is time that this state got down to
a sound business administration. The
debt is not large but the many build
ings owned by the state are in need of
care to prevent destruction. New
buildings are needed and they should
be properly built and at proper points.
Log rolling for building sites should
be no longer a rule but the rule Of the
greatest good should prevail.
Message Brimful Of Common Sense.
(Lynden Tribune, Progressively
Governor Listers inaugural message
ly to the point. There can be no mis-
taking the fact that the new executive
is in close touch with state affairs, and
his mastery, straightforward message
shows him to be man of sound bust
ness ability, of great strength Of char
acter, and possessed of unusual under
standing of state affairs.
The principal feature of the address
Is the plan to introduce into the man.
agement of the states business matters
a stricter economy. 1t Is quite certain
that Governor Lister will abolish I'M
necessary expense in the operation of
the government of the commonwealth
and that he will do away with the
horde of Office holders and clerks at
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1913-01-31

Governor Listers first message to
the legislature strikes a progressive
chord and justifies the belief he will
give this state the best administration
in it's history. Governor Lister pledg-
ed himself to be the servant Of the hon.
est public opinion of the state and
make the keynote of his administra-
ton honesty, efficiency and economy.
Those who know the sincerity, integ-
rity and sound business ability OF the
new chief executive are confident that
he will not fail in the performance OF
a single promise.
Indeed, Governor Lister has already
shown that he intends to give the state
businesslike and economical admin
istration, for his message urges the
legislature to reduce the proposed APP
preparation of 100000 for the Panama
exposition to 100000 and devote the
difference to encouraging irrigation
projects in Eastern Washington and
the development of the logged'on
lands in Western Washington. This
is suggestion that will find favor
with the majority of the people of the
state, for the Appropriation of half a

out the state In an attempt to perpetu-
ate the old Republican machine.


(Bickleton News, Republican,
Ernest Lister was inaugurated as
governor Of this state Wednesday. jan
uary IL. and took the oath Of Office be-
fore one Of the largest crowds that has
ever gathered in Olympia for such an
occasion. His inaugural address, de-
livered before the legislators, showed
careful thought and sincerity. The
main feature of the message was the
evident purpose to work out, during
his administration. greater economy In
the operation of the state government.
