(Pasco Progress.)
The chief trouble with national,
state, county, and city affairs is that
the men in charge too often lose all
sense of proportion when it comes to
spending the peoples money. A few
more men like Ernest Lister in the
governors chair in this state and there
should be noticeable reduction in the
present tax levy.
'Discrediting" Governor Lister.
(Colfax Commoner.)
The hope of the men who are trying
to build up their own political future
by tearing down Governor Lister is
founded upon shifting sand. The men,
the party or the clique who try this
will learn, when the votes are counted
in November, 1914, who is "discredit-
ed" and they will learn that it is not
Governor Lister, but themselves. 1t is
less than two years until the voters,
the court of last resort" try this case
and it will be tried fairly and i'm
partially. Few of the men who are
trying to spend the peoples money
without just cause and who hope to
"discredit" Governor Lister, will never
be returned to the legislature in which
they have proven themselves a dis
grace.
The people are keeping tab on their
officials. We have the recall, the in
itiative and the referendum now, and
some of these officials are in grave
danger, and Governor Lister is not one
of them. Washington has never had a
governor who gained the confidence
and respect of the people within two
months as has Ernest Lister and the
people are with him in his fight to re-
deem his pledges made during the cam
paign and in his inaugural address.

TAYLOR A REAL POET.
SPEAKER Breaks into Song During House
"Experipnce" Meeting.

SPEAKER Breaks into Song During House
"Expericnce" Meeting.
Poetry-the worship of the muse
that soOthes mems souls-assuaged the
heart of Speaker Taylor last Friday
night, after his forces had lost in the
coup by the governor. At least we'll
have to take his word for it, for he
tackled the following bit of verse" on
the end of the Testimony" he offered
during the experience" meeting in the
house last Saturday afternoon:
THE house and senate sitting through
weary day and night;
A road bill to consider, at once both
cheap and right.
There was hours of mighty wrangling
as to where the road should go.
And which of the counties should get
the biggest dough.
There were meetings with the COVER
nor, fraught with feelings deep
and strong;
There was his mighty veto, which
many thought was wrong.
At last a bill was finished and to the
governor was hurried in form
right and fine.
Alas! for earthly fortunes, where did
that poor bill go,
After all these many efforts to make 1t
live and grow?
l hate to tell you where that poor bill
really went,
Out into mud and darkness by dainty
slipper sent.
There is only one thing further, and I
will say it, I'll be bound.
You've got to stop your kicking that
poor old bill around"

The Right Man This Time.
(Ellensburg DAWN


Governor Lister has come to the
front with the edict that any person
under his jurisdiction who makes a
business of lobbying before the legis-
lature for pet measures, will be dead
sure of losing his job
1t is nice thing to have man
once more in the Office who has the
courage of his conviction and the back
bone to set his stamp of disapproval
on political tactics and methods not
for the best interests of the people and
the state.
Governor Lister wants his officials to
know their places and to stay in them,
otherwise, they will be subject to being
snatched baldheaded, and justly, too.
Governor Listers straight forward
course deserves for him the everlast-
ing gratitude of every citizen of the
state regardless of politics.
We need more Listers in the state of
Washington, in every city, town and
county.

vETOEs BRIDGE LEVY.

Carrying out still further his policy
of economy in state appropriations,
Governor Ernest Lister vetoed last
Wednesday the bill authorizing a "a
mill levy for the next two years to raise
100000 with which to pay the states
share of a proposed interstate bridge
across the Columbia river from Van
couver, Wash, to Portland, Ore.
In transmitting his veto, the COVER
nor said:
while recognizing the great advan-
tages to certain portions of the state
should such a bridge be constructed,
cannot but feel that the increased
levies necessary on account of appro-
priations already made during the
present session of the legislature are
such that there is, in my opinion, not
sufficient necessity or justification for
further adding to the taxes of the
state the cost of this bridge at the
present time.
"The proper location for an inter.
state bridge connecting the states of
Washington and Oregon is, without
doubt, at Vancouver, the location fixed
in this bill. There is, however, at the
present time a railroad bridge at that
point and also ferry of sufficient
capacity to care for ordinary passeng-
err and vehicle transportation. This
ferry can be used at all seasons of the
year.
This bill Is therefore vetoed and re-
turned to your honorable body for such
action as you may deem advisable"

JA5S At LEGISLATORS

in our legislature is practically carried
on by system of bribary and vote
trading. 1t is done by you vote for
my bill and | will vote for your bill
Bribery is a penitentiary offense and
the law should apply whether the brib-
ing is done in the legislature, in a
court or by private citizens. If legis-
lation must depend on vote trading it
would be better to do without it. Per-
haps the law was never applied in the
case of legislators for fear of over
crowding the penitentiaries.

darlington Chronicle.)

The present session will probably
go down in history as the session
where more politics were played than
any since the formation of the state.
The governor had his ideas as to the
manner that the state should run shat
tered, through the combination of the
opposing forces, and these forces were
in accord with his plan. Most of them
were elected on the same platform, viz,
that of economy and we believe that
the governor was right in most of his
ideas and particularly that of the veto
of the Cheney school.
