Suffragette Fight
In Senate TODAY
Sageng Bill Made Special Order And
Vote VIII Be Taken Late This
Afternoon
HOUSE is READY TO PASS 1T
If Defeated in Senate Lower Body
May Send Measure Up For
Second Trial
HOUSE is READY TO PASS 1T
(By Grove E. Wilson)

viii the voters of the state have an |
opportunity of voting for or against
Woman's suffrage at the next cleo
tion?
That is the question which is being
fought out today in the state senate.
Senator Ole Sageng of Ottertail
county introduced bill calling for a
constitutional amendment giving
women the right to vote and his mea-
sure was made a special order for to-
day.
Lacked One Vote in 1911
Two years ago, as will be remem-
bered, a similar bill was lost in the
senate by one vote. Some who voted
against that measure will vote for the
Sageng bill today, among them being
Senator Frank Clague.
Others, however, may have changed
to the opponents of the bill SO that
the result when the roll is called is
decidedly uncertain.
Senate May Get Second Chance
Speaker Henry Rines of the House
is not sure the action of the senate,
in case the bill is defeated today, will
stop work on the measure. He thinks
it likely the bill will be taken up in the
house and passed in spite of the posi-
ton of the senate SO that two votes on
the question may be taken in the up
per body this session. This would be
a decidedly unusual proceeding but
one that might be forced upon the op-
ponents of the cause of suffrage.
Gilman and Coates Scrap
over in the house the matter of
greatest interest just now is the
Coates-G Gilman contest. Gilman has
been speaker of the house and lieuten-
ant governor of the state, but he held
these Offices long time ago. He is
now eighty years old and the spryest
ancient that ever fought for seat in
the legislature. He has danced around
the Merchants hotel at all hours of
the night button-holing members and
doing all he could to win favor for his
cause. Coates, however, has the cert
ifcate of election. That's what counts.
Past and Present Meet
It's extremely interesting to watch
this fight between the present and
the past. Coates is a Democrat but
he belongs to the new game. Gill
man is of the old type. This is not a
criticism of Gilman it's a criticism Of
the school in which he was trained.
| For instance it seems to be fairly well
established that he offered some st.
Cloud man SIS. to work for him on cleo
ton day and there are other violations
OF the Corrupt practices act that are
alleged by the Coates people.
Come Down and See The Fun
On the other hand Coates is accused
of doing some violating on his own
hook but the charges seem less well
founded in his case This contest,
probably will come to vote in the
house the last of the week. If you
want to see some real fire works come
on down and have lunch with me and
witness the scrap in the house.

DON'T BE A PESSlMIST

A town whose citizens have
no public spirit is on it's way to
the cemetery.
The citizen who will do no
thing to help his town is help
ing to dig its grave.
The citizen who growls about
his town being "The worst ever"
is assisting in its burial.
The business man who will
not advertise is driving the
hearse.
The citizen who is a chronic
grumbler and always pulling
back in every public enterprise
is throwing bouquets on the
grave.
The citizen who "knocks" and
bowls "hard times" breaches
the funeral sermon.

ness and feel that the best is
yet to come.

One AssembIy-Or Commission:
(Pasco Progress.)

1ToSIcSs.J
After all, the matter of conducting
the state Is a question of business,
public business it is true, but still
business, and most of the extravaganza
and waste in the states affairs IS
caused by our cumbersome and I'M
businesslike system. No $20,000,000
corporation would permit its affairs to
be handled by several hundred I'M
trained men, gathered together every
two years for 60 days, and the people
of this state are also finding the sys-
tenn costly and inefficient.
A commission of seven men with
the governor ar it's head has been sug-
gested as substitute for the single
assembly. Certainly either of these
plans would be preferable to the pres
ent system and the voters of Washing
ton may in the not distant future by
the initiative submit change of this
sort to a vote. If the matter were up
now it would carry by an overwhelm-
ing majority, for if the recent legisla-
ture did nothing else it opened the
eyes of the people of this state to its
utter eXtravasance and absolute inef-
ficiency.

progressive DefnoCfat.)
The newspapers continue to say that
Governor Ernest Lister is to appoint
John c. Lawrence on the. public serv-
ice commission. AS far as we are con-
cerned, we are not ready to believe the
rumor. So far Governor Lister has
shown himself most sagacious poll
tician. He has not made many APP
pointments, but those he has made
have been such as will bring credit to
his administration, while if he ap-
points John r. Lawrence he will make
a mistake that will rest on him as long
as he is governor.
A man that would come out against
the man that made him and then OPP
pose the man that defeated him for a
nomination, is not worthy of position
at the hands of anyone and Demo
cratic governor would be recreant
to his trust if he should reward a man
for his perfidy to another.
The man that would betray a man
that had appointed him to chairman
manship of the greatest commission in
a state would not hesitate to betray
any other man who might give him a
similar position. A man that would
jump from one party to another to
gain office, would not hesitate to jump
to another party in case he saw q
chance to better his condition.

Let us at least give Governor Lister
credit for consistency. While we don't
believe that his reasons for vetoing the
Everett trade school bill were valid
ones, showing as they did lack of clea.'
understanding of the proposition in
volved and displaying in that instance
a penny-wise policy, there is some sat
isfaction in his veto of 100000 for a
new building at the state university
He says such 4 building is necessary,
but shouldn't be undertaken at this
time because oc the heavy demand on
state funds. Dut he couldn't even see
the necessity Of trade school build
ing. And, even with all these vetoes,
the state tax levy will be higher than
its predecessor.

Occasionally a man is elected to
some Office who keeps his campaign
pledges, and shows by his actions that
he is trying to fill his office for the
benefit of the public. Ernest Lister Is
by general consent placed in that class,
and his actions as governor of the
state of Washington show that a GER
tain man by the name Of Lister is the
governor-not some set of Coast poll
ticians-not some crowd of financial
magnates. In not playing to political
clamor, man may make enemies, but
these enemies are not the farmers, nor
the common people, who produce our
food and wares.

E. w. Olson Of Walla Walla, a prom
inent member of organized labor in
that city, takes hold of the Office of
state labor commissioner next Monday
morning, having been recently appoint
ed by the governor to fill that position.
Hoping, apparently, to put Olson in
bad at the start, every Office clerk and
road inspector has rendered his resig-
nation and will walk out Saturday
night with their deposed chief. Com
mon courtesy alone would demand that
Hubbard or some of his force remain
in Office few days until Olson had got
in little measure on to the swing of
things. Hubbard is winding up his
career in a fitting manner. In spite of
this lack of courtesy Mr.. Olson declares
he will have everything running on
time Monday morning and he will
make good. He will have offices in the
department of the industrial insurance
commission.

Quincy Veto Is Disappointment.

There is keen disappointment
throughout North Central Washington
over Governor Listers veto of the $780,

more less important appropriations

the one vetoed. While the governor
signed the bill providing for the refer
