they do not propose to give up with
out tremendous struggle. They will
spend hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to sway public opinion by buying
up the large daily newspapers of the
state. Already we can see this in
fluence working in hostile and un-
truthful attacks upon the various bills
from this source, as well as in the
opposition of every local political
wire manipulation whom you will re-
call in previous campaigns to be that
character of a man who was always
fighting where the Doodle was thickest.
All of this crew go into one camp, all

are, all of them to a man, fighting
this initiative program not a clean,
open, honest opposition, but by their
characteristic underhanded methods
of deception and misrepresentation
This ought to give all the rest of the
people a clear line as to what they
should do with this legislative pro-
gram of the farmers and laborers.

seven particular measures came about

(By n. L. Hughes.)

The seven initiative bills proposed
by the Joint Legislative Committee
have a much greater significance back
of them than the individual merit of
the seven measures Each of these
seven bills has been frequently COM
mented upon and described as to it's
individual merit and purposes until it
is fair to presume that every one who
will read these lines is already quite
familiar with them as to all these
details. The larger significance of
this movement to initiate these par
ticular seven laws is that their enact
ment by the people of the State of
Washington at the next regular elec-
ton will free the state, and especially
the legislative department of its gov
ernment, of some very powerful cor
ruptive influences. With some of
these important matters out of the
way, through direct legislative action
by the people, the state legislature
will be left free to do better and clean
er work along other lines; and we
may then, with some reason, expect
more honest and clean legislation at
its hands and far more careful con-
sideration of the best interests of the
people in all it's deliberations.
Primarily only two of the proposed
measures may be considered strictly
labor measures, namely the employ
ment agency and the first aid bills,
but when we stop to consider that
practically all of the other five meas
ures directly touch upon some func-
tion of legislation and government
that is now being used as cudgel
which big business has habitually used
for years to club Legislators and other
state officials into doing their bidding,
and that this power has always been
used against organized labor's legisla-
tive program in the state-THEN ALL
THESE MEASURES BECOME IN
REALITY LABOR MEASURES OF
THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE.
The Common Enemy.
The common enemy-all that greedy
crew of industrial and commercial
buccaneers that prey off every form
of labor, whether of the shop, the MILL
the factory, the mine or the farm
have united in opposition, not to any
particular one of these seven meas
ures-BUT TO THE ENTIRE PRO
GRAM. These fellows who have for
years controlled legislation and dis
graced this fair young commonwealth,
with the most shameful forms of po-
litical corruption know very well what
will be the result of the success of
this initiative program of organized
labor and the farmers of the state.
Well do they realize that the enact
ment of these laws will go far towards
destroying their corrupt power, and

functions, yet in their essential pur-
pose they are one-truly they are
seven sisters. They take out of the
hands of the legislature-and the spe
cial interests that have heretofore
controlled - the powerful weapons
above referred to which these corrupt
influence have in all the years past
used to fortify their position of advan-
tage and repeatedly defeat the will of
the people in their desire for good leg
islation and clean administration of
public affairs. With these weapons
taken out of their hands, through the
enactment of these seven measures by
the initiative, the state legislature will
become far cleaner body, and we
hope a more useful one. Labor will
be relieved of some very great wrongs
and the burdens of taxation greatly
relieved and eQualized The great
fishing industry of the state, now
maintained by the people will at least
to some extent be controlled by the
people; they will get some returns
from the industry and the wanton de
struction of a great food supply wiR
be stopped and may we not hope that
to some degree the burden of the nigh
cost of living will be relieved by more
abundant and possibly cheaper fish
products THESE ARE THINGS
WORTH STRIVING FOR. In fact
they are essential to our very political
and industrial life, and unless the
working people and the farmers of the
state are willing to become political
nonentities and industrial slaves TO the

proper remedial legislation at the
hands of our state law makers down
at Olympia. In most of our efforts
we met with dismal failure. Those
we sent to Olympia to represent our
organizations were not slow in recog-
nizing some of the chief reasons why
labor legislation failed and clearly
discerned some of the big clubs that
the special interests welded with such
good effect that they frequently sue
ceeded in bludgeoning some of our
pledged legislators into opposition to
the very measures that they had sol
emnly promised our people before
election that they would support
There was the fish combine, the lum-
ber trust, the railroads and other
public service corporations, the bank
ing interests, and all the balance of
the crew of special privilege, and al
ways they dubbed together to put
through bills that would give them
additional advantages in the game of
exploiting agriculture and labor and
at the same time to sandbag into in
sensibility every legislative attempt
to limit their powers or to relieve the
distress of the people With this solid
combine of all their forces they have
generally been powerful enough to

force the control of the organization
in either branch of the legislature,
and then by using the influence of
such pork barrel legislation as good
roads appropriation, local improve
ment, bridge, school and other state
institutional appropriations. have al
ways been able to force enough of the
weaker members of the legislature
into line so as to be able to exercise
absolute control. Forces that exer-
else a control of this character are
always and necessarily corrupt and
work to the destruction of the state
and violation of every right of decent
citizenship. No wonder that with
such control of this state our people
are groaning under tremendous
burdens of taxation and a thousand
other political and industrial wrongs
Observing these causes and their re-
grange and the state farmers union
met in North Yakima last September,
they were almost of one mind as to
the particular laws that ali should
unite upon as measures of relief from
this unequal condition

The test of mans progressive
ness is not what he processes to stand
for but what he has been" in public
life. There are many political aspir-
ants in all parties who style them
selves progressive" who cannot stand
the acid test when applied to their
past performances.
State Senator John e. Campbell
CJack," as he is familiarly known to
his friends) is a candidate for the
nomination on the Progressive ticket
as congressman from this district He
was first elected to he lower house at
Olympia from SnohOmish county on
the Republican ticket in 1903 and has
been member of the legislature con-
tinuously since, being reelected to the
house in 1910 and to the state senate
on the Progressive ticket in 1912
Jack Campbell early earned the
sobriquet in the house of Dynamite
jack from his persistent advocacy of
labor and social legislation. For
many years a trade unionist, three
years an executive officer of the In
ternational Union of Shingle Weav-
ers, he went to the legislature with
the fixed purpose in mind of working
for labor measures and all progressive
legislation. He was made chairman of
the labor committee in the house in
the 1909, his first session. Organized
labor was demanding the passage OF
the women's eight-hour law and upon
Campbell as chairman of the labor
committee fell the brunt of the fight
Women had no vote then and the law
makers had no particular cause to
fear the women's vote. Amendment
after amendment was hurled at the
bill Governor Hay covertly threat
ened to veto the bill if it passed. Man
ufacturing and other employing inter
ests eXerted every pressure to kill it.
Through sheer persistency it was re
ported out from Campbelrs committee
without amendment and passed the
house in its original form. 1t was
killed in the senate but was destined
to pass later, mention of which fight
will be made further on in this article.
During the same session he secured
the passage of two bills amending the
law giving to the dependents of a
single man the right to collect dam
ages for death. The bills We're intro
duced in the house on February and
held up by the rules committee until
the last day Of the session, when they
were forced out by Chairman Camp
bell and passed the house It was at
that same session he introduced the
bill providing for a deputy labor com
missioner who should be a woman.
An attempt was made to foil this bill
by failing to provide any appropriation
for the office but it was check mated
by Campbell ana the appropriation
voted. The "eieerie headlight" and
