Ao-na8ht the Worst Leaiolatl1re ever
Convened IL, this State Adjo,lr1as.

The really big fight OF last week
was on H. b. 800. relating to the
initiative by the people in amending
the constitution, when the measure
went down to defeat because OF the
Iact that those men who had pledged
themselves previous to the election ut
terly refused to vote for the meas.
ure. Their pledges were in the
hands of the joint legislative league
and they knew it. but in the face of
this several of them voted directly
opposite. 1t took the house the
greater part of Thursday to dispose
OF the bill, starting in about 1O:3O
In the morning when a house call
was secured. and continued for two
hours In order to locate Just two
members, Hays of Thurston and Row
land OF Benton. after several MEM
bers had been excused by vote of
the house because OF sickness. The
friends of the matter delayed action
on the bill until they had secured
the presence in the hall OF every
member that could be brought In
and made to cast his vote one way
or the other. About 1890 D. m.
recess was taken until o'clock
and after the usual preliminaries
the fight was resumed. The bill
was ably championed by the Pro-
gressives in the main, although sup
ported by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike, but the Republican ma
chine managed to swing sufficient
votes to bring about its defeat.
Here Is the way the roll call result

by a vote of 28 to II. Lieutenant
Governor Hart refused to preside
while this bill was under considera-
tion, because he declared that the
bill had been killed and could not
be reconsidered.

city to pay a minimum of 800 per

posal was tabled for the preent.
The city is now paying from SAT
to $50 a month for street lighting
on a midnight service. LIf the COM

traditions and ideals of the British
citizens.
We turn now to the consideration
of matters nearer home. My fell
low members, we are of but aver
age political clay; any one of our
neighbors might have been select
ed to come down here, and if that
be true, namely, that we represent
but an average, then We ask. can
you pass on a question here as
soundly as when at home? Here
in this whirlpool of politics, men
yanked this way and that way by
lobbyists, night letters and day
messages poured in upon them from
interested parties; beset by politi-
cal ambitions, by sectional jealousy
cooped up here in the rotten atmos-
phere of this chamber refer to
the aair in the room and not to the
political atmosphere-can members
under such conditions give their
to consider all sides Of a measure?
Why. it seems to US here. oas in

order to get anything done. We
would rather trust the judgment
of the real lumber jacks in the for
est than that of the political lum-
Der jacks engaged in log rolling
here in this capitol.
Let us turn from this forum to
another-that of the citizens them
selves. 1t is in the sober quiet that
comes to the people in their own
homes. in the dead silence of delib-
crate judgment that these funda-
mental questions are settled.
So, summing up, let us say that
the people, entrusted safely with
this power to amend their own
fundamental law, after hundred
years of progress, can take a step
forward, and not backward as is

place OF the one which Mrs. Lister
kicked off her doorstep. The senate
subsequently passed concurrent
resolution permitting the introduc-
tion of the bills. This is a complete
victory for Governor Lister. who
said repeatedly that he would agree
to a mill and a quarter the first
year and one mill the second. The
house is also said to have accepted
the agreement.
Young Mr.. Taylor, who by the
grace of an "unholy alliance" of
the stand patters of the two old
and all but defunct political parties
occupied the speakers chair in the
House during this winters legisla-
tive session, says that Governor Lis
ter has insulted the legislature. I'M
possible! Givernor Lister is a big
man and does big things, but even
he cannot accomplish the impossible
And without doubt the members
of the legislature have found out
that Mrs. Ernest Lister. the gov
ernor's estimable wife. is on guard
at the executive mansion. II they
do not want their pet bills kicked
aroun' they should take them to
the governors office during busi-
ness hours.

In amending the constitution.
The purpose of any written con-
stitution is supposed to be that OF
a check upon the momentary i'm
pulse of the people. This idea may
have been of some force in the ear
ly days of this nation when we were
suddenly removed from the restric.
tions of a constitutional monarchy
and placed on the broad open plain
of republican form of government
Then, too, there may have been
some weight In such an argument
in those former years when the
school system had not yet permeat-
ed the land. nor the influence of
the newspaper and magazine been
felt. We submit If the people of
this nation 100 years ago were fit
under their own constitution, then
today by reason of this broadening
influence Of school and press, evil
denced in concrete form by the
greater interest of the people in
government. the citizens are fit by
a more unrestricted process to a.
mend their constitutions.
We must remember that the
makers of our early constitution
were then considered radicals, that
in breaking away from old monarch
ial order of things, they moved
slowly. hence the restrictions placed
in the federal constitution and
those of the various Eastern state
from which our constitutional pro-
vision VISA copied.
In England where they have
never had any written constitution
they had in place of such written
constitution, king and cOnstitu-
tional monarchy to act as a restric-
tion on the people. This nation,

that England had one method OF
checking the so-called mob and we
had another method. The point we
make in this regard is:
England, heretofore bound by the
restrictions of her mOnarchial form
of government, has in recent years
done away with that restriction. al
though a king in name sits on the
throne of the British people. Today
in England there is no restriction
on the people-neither by the king
nor by any written constitution. II
England has removed her restric-
tions. why shall we not remove ours
and remove our kingship which ex-
lists in that form of a constitution
al provision which this bill NO
309 seeks to amend?
We have referred to the fact OF
There being no constitution in Eng.
land. but we must not be misunder-
stood. Such a reference is made
not to show that we shall do away
| with our constitution but to com
bat the argument frequently advanc
ed, to the effect that this bill is
radical measure that will open wide
the flood gates of mob rule. Oul
argument is that we need not zeal
