MORE OF THEM

Still they come. The mails from the east and the west
are bringing word from members of the legislature who de-
clare they will not accept tree transportation over railway
lines, though somebody has requested passes for them.
The newspapers too, are expressing kindly opinions OF the
men who take this stand. Since The Muscular took up
this question, it is attracting statewide attention: n+,+.

They'll be along, though. We're sure of that.
Representative Amin sent both letter and telegram-he
wanted to be sure. And the secretary OF state t., ta9la is
that there would be nothing doing in the pass business, as
far as the man from Saltwater county was concerned.
The secretary of state has received also a communication
from Senator George of Yellowstone and inclosed within
the letter was the Great Northern pass which had been
sent to him. This was to be expected.
There will, no doubt, be daily additions p the list tor
several DAYS. We do not expect, however, that all OF the
passes will be returned. There are some OF the members
of the Thirteenth assembly who will not return anything,
But we believe there are a good many other members who
will decline to participate in the possession OF the railways
pasteboards.
The list is a roll of honor. The men whose names are
upon it are the men who decline to take part in this cheaP,
form of graft. The railway companies, we are informed
from Helena, are inclined to place a liberal construction
upon the law, which was enacted from Senate Bill us.
That the companies should be made the judges in this mat
ter seems an imposition; but the transportation folks are
taking the situation phlosophicaly. While the law does
not make the issue of passes compulsory, it politely relieves
the transportation companies Of any criminal responsibility
course, they could refuse: 1t would be a good thing it

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Postmas.
ter General Burleson's policy to in
crease the weight limits of parcel post
packages in the first and second zones
from 20 to SO pounds, to admit books
to the parcel post and to reduce rates
in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
zones was approved this week by the
Interstate commerce commission.
The maximum weight of parcels to
all zones beyond the second was in

WANTS ANOTHER TRIAL
Mayor Seeks Re-hearing of Libel Suit
Decided against Him.

Motion for a new trial of the $50, 900
libel suit against the mayor, in which
the Olympia Water Works was allowed
81 damages by the jury last Saturday
on behalf of the mayor early this week
by Attorney p, M. Troy, his counsel.
The motion has not been argued.
The jury's verdict found for the
plaintiff on all three causes of action,
though allowing damages on but one,
and several jurors stated later that it
had been the jury's intention to find
for the mayor on two OF the three
counts, explaining that they did not
change the verdict form submitted by
the plaintiffs attorneys. Several jur-
ors signed an affidavit to this effect at
Mr.. Troy's request.
The verdict requires the mayor to
pay 81 damages to the Water COM
pany and his own costs, while the COM
pany will pay it's own. The court costs
including the witness fees totalled
about $500, most of which will fall on
the mayor as he had the most witness
es. The county must pay the $500 the
jury cost.
If the motion for new trial is denied,
the case will probably be appealed to
the supreme court.

PATRIOTS SURVEY GOOD
Lines Run by George Washington When
Only 10 Are Found Correct.

Government surveyors, who have
just been checking up some of the
lines reputed to have been run by
George Washington in his days of
chain and compass work, have found
them good.
About 1851, according to tradition,
George Washington, then 19 years old,
rain out for Lord Thomas Fairfax the
line between what was then to be Au-
gusta and Frederick counties, Virginia,
this being only a part of great deal
of surveying which he is said to have
been engaged upon at that time.
Washington, of course, used simple
compass, and his line could not be ex-
pected to check absolutely with that
obtained by the government surveyors
who have retraced his survey, using
high-power transits and all the refined
and accurate methods which modern
instruments allow. Nevertheless, the
line was run so carefully in the first
place that but little variation has been
found in it,

GOVERNOR SCORES
SPOKANE KICKER
Jolts Man Who Criticizes Roy S
Selection for Highway
Commissioner.

There's a gentleman by the name OF
Otto A. Weile over in the neighbor
hood of Spokane who is 'some pun
kins" so far as his individual opinion
of himselm is concerned. Weile took il
upon himself to criticise Governor Lis
ter severely for the appointment Of
William r. Roy as state highway com
missioner, delivering himself of the
following observation, among others:
you will find that your appointment
is a joke-that it is exceedingly un-
popular and that your act has done
more to take the ginger and enthus.
iasm out of the good roads movement
than anything else you might have
DONE"
And this is the dose he got In re-
turn:
On my return from Lewiston, Idaho
find your letter of the Sd inst. at
hand. 1 have read the letter with a
great deal of interest. 1t clearly indi-
Gates that l made q great mistake in
not securing your opinion on my re-
cent appointee as highway commission
er before deciding upon the appoint
ment. 1t further Indicates that you
have remarkably good opinion OF
your own ability to pass judgment up
on these matters. So that you might
know after all how little people are
often known outside of their own esti-
mate of themselves, I might say that
your name was an entirely new one to
me until I saw it in the Spokesman
Review a few days ago in connection
with some criticism of my appointment
of Mr.. VIM. r. Roy. regret very much
that you are so indignant regarding
the appointment and can only suggest
as the case appears to be severe one
that you go to the hot springs SO that
you can relieve your system of this in
dignation which seems to be control
ling 1t at the present time.
Regarding your criticism of the abil-
ity of the new highway commissioner
I might say that within the last day or
so, have received communications in
dicating that your ability is of ques-
tionable character. l am not passing
judgment on this for the reason that l
know nothing about you or your abil-
ity but just mention it to show that
even great men, such as you feel you
are, might receive criticism OCCASION
ally.
In conclusion might say that after
reading your letter 1 am pleased in
deed that / have never been burdened
by having your acquaintance as your
letter clearly indicates that one would
receive but little or no benefit from
such an acquaintance. Yours truly,

TWO FORMER OLYMP|ANS REACH HIGH POSITION
Leslie R. Hewitt and John W. York Winning Distinction
forna Superior Court Bench-Former Resident Tells of
Their Success in Los Angeles.

How two former Olympia boys, now
r. Hewitt and John w. York, have
won places of distinction in their pro-
fession, is told in the following letter
to THE WASHINGTON STANDARD, writ
ten by A. G. Cook from Long Beach,
Cal, where he is now living:
Editor STANDARD:
Leslie R. Hewitt, nephew of Charles
Hewitt of Tumwater, grandson of the
chief justice OF Washington territory
and son of Randall Hewitt, a newspa-
per man, publisher of the Echo a pro-
hibition newspaper in Olympia about
the last of the COS (the bound vol
umes are in the state library, has
been appointed to judgeship of the
supreme court in Los Angeles, the
largest city west of Chicago excepting
st. Louis.
Judge Hewitt was special counsel
for the harbor commission involving
many varied maritime, corporation
and inland traffic questions, besides
the $25,00O.0OO mountain water sup
ply. winning fame by the wisdom
shown in every intricate question.
Again, John w. York, a grandson Of
the Olympia pioneers whose names ap,

little church around the northeast
corner" of the capitol and who took
the "Whitworth claim" just below
Priest Point park, is winning a name
as just judge on the Los Angeles su-
perior court bench.
Los Angeles county has sixty mil
lions more assessed wealth than any
other county on the American conti-

Says Federal Secretary.

Increased tenancy, absentee owner

inadequate business methods, the rel
ative failure to induce a great majority
of farmers to apply existing agricul-
tural knowledge, and the suggestions
of dependence on foreign nations for

ings and incite us to additional eff
forts to increase production" says Da-
vid F. Houston, federal secretary Of
agriculture, in his first annual report
submitted this week.
The report states that there Is no
ground for thinking that this country
has yet approximated the limit Of its
output from the soil, but that 1t has
just begun to attack the problem, has
not reached the end of the pioneering
stage, and only in few localities has
developed conditions where reasonably
full returns are secured. I'VE have
unmistakably reached the period
where we must think and plan," is the
secretary's comment.
Considering the marketing problem,
in which every farmer is deeply inter
ested, the secretary said:
I'm many directions further produc-
tion waits on better distribution and
the field of distribution presents prob
lens which raise in very grave ways
the simple issue of justice. Under ex-

LOCAL DEMOCRATS
! WILL FORM LEAGUE
Will Form Local Branch of State

| The Thurston county branch of the

Tacoma, county chairman of Pierce

1t is very likely that as the result
of this organization, local Democrats
will meet weekly at a luncheon, for
they propose to emphasize the social
side of the league as we'll as it's politi-
cal. The league was originally formed
last spring to be an organization of the
younger Democrats Of the state, but
Democrats generally soon saw 1t en-
bodied the right organization idea and
recently it was changed to the State
Democratic league. so that older men
and the women Democrats of the state
might be admitted to membership. The
league is being rapidly organized
throughout the state, having gained
considerable headway in Eastern
Washington, and the desire is to have
a permanent organization of this char
acter active in the field when the SEN
atorial and congressional campaigns
begin.

Commenting on Mr.. Hewitt's ap-
pointment, Los Angeles newspaper
said:
AS city attorney of this city, the
now Judge Hewitt won many import
ant cases for the city. Among these
need be cited only that upholding the
validity of the city's action in annex
ing the shoestring strip and the San
Pedro harbor section, that establishing
the city's right to prosecute police
court cases-a right assailed at one
time in the state legislature, and that
involving the right of the city to build
the great Owens river aqueduct by
force account netting the city saving
probably of upward of $17,0OO,OOO.
AS special counsel for the harbor
commission, Judge Hewitt has had in
active charge the drawing up of the
franchises and permits issued by the
city to corporations, the framing of
rate regulations governing the move
ment of freight traffic between San
Pedro and this city for inland points
and other important matters.
