LEGISLATIVE NOTES

That it is an awfully hard matter
to get a bill in the interest of the peo-
pie through the legislature, but a very
easy matter to get a pork barrel"
matter through was plainly shown
Monday, at time when the very rush
of the session was on. Now a lot of
bills that were intended for the bene-
fit of the common people have been
before both houses practically ever
since the session opened, but the legis-
iators have been so busy" that they
could not reach these bills and they
were actually" crowded off the cal
endar, or rather they never had time
to get them there. But to show how
quickly pork barrel measure can
be made way for, it is but necessary
to cite the fact that a new road bill,
to take the place of the 100000 grab
that Mrs. Lister kicked off the porch
of the governors mansion Friday
night, was prepared and rushed
through the senate Monday afternoon
in something like eight minutes. Talk
about a well-oiled machine! Can you
beat it?

STATE TAX COMMISSION RE-
PLIES TO TRADES COUNCIL

Some time ago the trades council
sent letter of protest to the state
tax commission against the action of
that body in virtally setting aside
the decision of the voters of Everett
to adopt the principle of single tax.
The action taken by the council
moved the commission to make a
rather lengthy reply in explanation
of it's stand. Both letters are print
ed below. The trades council is still
dissatisfied with the action of the
commission and has appointed a COM
mittee to go into the matter a little
deeper. The council takes the posi-
ton that regardless of the philosophy
of single tax that the commission has
overstepped its powers. The council
appreciates the courteous tone in
which the reply of the commission
is couched, but is not satisfied that
that is the final word in the matter
Everett, Feb. 81, 1913.
To the Honorable Board of Tax Com
missioners, Olympia, Wash.
Gentlemen: At the last general
election the voters of this city rati-
fled single tax proposition to apply
within the limits of the municipality.
Your body has sought to render the
action of the electorate null and void
by instructing the county assessor to
disregard the expressed will of the
people by making up the tax rolls for
Everett under the same old system
of taxation.
The Everett Trades Council wishes
to enter it's vigorous protest against
the action of your commission Since
when did the state tax commission
assume the powers of the courts? We
are aware that some lawyers question
the legality of the single tax as APP
piled to a municipality without war
rant of legislative enactment and
court decision. We submit that the
proper way to get the charter amend
ment providing for single tax for the
city of Everett before the courts for
review is to put same into operation,
when a test case might be made by
aggrieved taxpayers.
We have protested in the past and
still protest against government by
injunction. Are we to have govern
ment by commission?
We wish it plainly understood that
the Everett trades council holds no
brief for or against the principle Of
single tax. It's contention is that any
matter touching city government,
when ratified by the electorate, is for
the properly constituted courts to de-
eide as to its constitutionality, not
for state commission. The function
of the state tax commission in our
humble opinion is administrative
rather than judicial.
Very respectfully yours,
w. L. WILLISTON,
President Everett Trades Council.
NJ. T. ALTMAN,
Secretary Everett Trades Council.
March 3, 1913.
Everett Trades Council, Everett, Wn.
Gentlemen: We have your letter
dated February 21st at hand this
morning, and while it has been the
policy of this commission not to enter
into discussion of its official acts, we
deem it necessary, whenever a protest
is entered by any civic, trade, or COM
mercial body, to make an explana-
ton of the facts and law applicable
to the case, that the protestants with
thereof may a true verdict
render

A pitiable spectacle was that pre-
scented last Saturday afternoon, when
Representative Adams, a man who
comes from Kittitas county, a county
which has not single mile of street
railway, made a speech advocating
"his" bill taking off the present legal
maximum charge of five cents for
street car fares within the corporate
limits of any city. He even went so
far as to request that the house listen
to an argument by a Mr.. Brockett, the
gentleman who has been here all Win
ter as a lobbyist for the wealthy
Stone-Webster electrical interests.
His request was so raw that it made
the other members gasp for breath.
1t was voted down. 1t is said that
Adams is really an honest sort of fell
low, but not very experienced, as a
result of which the street railway in
terest got him to father this bill
which the old machine members had
not the courage to tackle, thinking
that they might be able to slip it
through. Luckily for the people
some one blundered," and the we'll
laid scheme fell through.

Victor Zednick, representative from
King county, is one of the members of
the house, who has always gone down
the line for the legislation desired by
the labor forces. In the fight for the
constitutional amendment bill by the
initiative he made one of the most eff
fective speeches of the day. He also
has been taking deep interest in the
minimum wage bill for women, and led
the fight Monday morning for the sub
stitutiOn of the Piper senate bill,
which is the measure that has the
approval of the State Federation of
Labor, in the place of Mrs. Croake's
flat rate bill. The Croake bill pro-
poses a flat rate of $3.50 per week
which is altogether too low, and if
adopted would be used by the employ
ers of women as a means of defeating
efforts to get any better pay, as they
would use it a sthe excuse that this
amount is sufficiently high, being the
amount established by the state by
law.

Representative Eugene A. Childe,
of King county, although not pledged
for the bill to amend the constitution
by the initiative, spoke and voted for
it. He gave as his reason for so doing
that he believed the people of the
state Of Washington want this law,
and as a representative Of the people
it was his duty in the legislature to
do their bidding, notwithstanding that
their desires might not always be in
accord with his personal views. Mr..
Childe has the right idea of his duties
as a representative, and if more men
tried to get the idea of the people and
govern themselves accordingly, legis-
lators and legislatures would be far
more popular with the people and
better guarantee of good government.
