ITO THE v1croRs BELONG THE spo1Ls.'

The phrase is old and trite but it serves to head
rafting good editorial in recent issue Of the;
Clarke County Sun, an editorial which predicts
that the people will initiate law to abolish the
present legislative form and substitute for it
legislative commission of twenty five members,
matter which Governor Lister said cOnstitu-
tional convention might handle, but the editorial
loses sight of the fact that the people have no
right to amend the state constitution by initiative
and until they do have, the chances of change in
the much-cussed legislative form mighty few.
And it might be stated parenthetically here that,
rather than extending the scope Of the initiative,
the present legislature is working might and main
to restrict it.
But there are two paragraphs of that editorial
that are worth repeating:
''To the victors belong the spoils. So practice
the ring rulers in control of our law making ma
chinery at Olympia. The people elected the gov
ernor, and it was presumed of course by the
people, that he would have some appointing
power But he is a Democrat, elected by the
people, and it is presumed he is unfit to appoint
good men certain boards. Therefore the big
push at Olympia have fixed law to take from
the governor his power to appoint certain commits
soners
''No wonder the people distrustful, suspi-
cious and disguised with our present form of gov
ernment What about the wishes and rights of the
people9 What about efficiency and economyf
Are the people needs, wants, rights and wishes
in the minds ofthese egisatorsg Judge We. The
oracle (the people) will speak again some of these

Republican Legislative leaders and the campaign

pat themselves ON the back and say to YOU. 'I.ook
what W.. dla and point to that million and half
with pride and great glee.
Before we say anything more want to con
graduate them on that million and half; we wish
it could have been three millions. This state Ger
tany needs 10 experience a radical reduction IN
its appropriations so that we who foot the bill can
see radical reduction in our taxes, and it doesn't
make any difference whether it is a Republican,
Democrat, Bull NIooser, Prohibitonist, Socialist,
l. W. w. Popust or South Sea Iottentot that
does it-whoever it is, is entitled to credit for 1t.
But there are ways in which that general APP
preparation bill, as prepared by the Republican
legislative organization, are peculiar, as was the
Heather Chinee." And one of the most peculiar
of all it's pecuarities is the remarkable fact that
almost without exception every reduction IN 1t
under the appropriations of two years ago, that 49,
practically all of that million and half and more,
comes from the departments under Governor
Lister s control, while almost without exception
every increase in increases except for which
that million and half might have been two mill
ions or even three millions-goes to Republican
departments SO it would seem that if the same
rigid economy with which the Republican organi-
cation viewed the allowances for Governor Listers
departments had been as faithfully and as effect
lively applied to the Republican departments, the
actual saving would have been far greater.
Some of our Republican speakers may forget to
mention that popularity in their talks during the
next two years-they are most likely to forget 1t
but don't you forget it. Likewise, don't you
let your memory slip up on the further fact that
it was Governor Lister who two years ago first
fought to keep appropriations down, not the Re-
publicans who controlled that session; Governor
Lister who in the intervening two years so man
aged his departments that the state treasury had
$SOO,OOO more on hand at the beginning OF this
legislature than the day he became governor, and
thus showed this legislature that reductions could
be made, and who in those same two years. by his
fight in the 1913 session and his large appropria-
ton vetoes then, and by his speeches throughout
the state so crystallized the sentiment OF the
people on this subject of state economy that they
| made it the supreme demand on this legislature
| and the Republican organization could do nothing
| else than accede to it.
Then when they 60 to you and proudly say,
