APPROPRIATIONS
MUST De DEFINITE
Governor Vetoes Memorial Day Bill
With Some Terse Comments
on Its Drafting

Governor Brumbaugh to-day an
nounced his veto on May 29 of the bill
authorizing county commissioners or
borough authorities to make appro-
priations for Memorial Day exercises
to organizations other than the Grand
Army of the Republic in counties
where no Grand Army of the Repub-
lie post exists.
The Governor says: 1T requires an
annual appropriation of $50 to such
association or society. 1t is fitting
and proper to grant such sum to a
iregularly constituted Grand Army
post and the law now does so. But to
compel county or borough by law
Ito appropriate funds to as indefinite
body as society or association OF
any description is an unwise manda-
mus upon the revenues provided by
! the people. Who shall decide what
society or organization shall have this
| fund? What guarantee of service is
assured? Why should any society or
association have equal claim with the
Grand Army post upon the resources
of people If it is necessary to pay
society or ass sociation to do honor
or tribute to the nations heroic dead
such honor of tribute is scarce worth
having Surely the patriotism or our
people needs no subsidy to give 1t fit-
ting expression on Memorial Day"
The Governor also announced these
Vetoes as of May 20;
House bill authorizing board of pub
lie charities to change plans and spe-
Icifications for buildings, etc. of cer-
tain charitable and penal institutions
The Governor says the bill was chang
ed and authority limited. 1T makes
the superior authority subordinate tc
the lesser authority. 1t is absurd
Moreover. the present law surely un.
der fair Interpretation would give tc
the Board power to change any plaT
Il may have approved
House bill requiring that records o
criminal acts of those under II
should be kept in separate docket
On this the Governor says: This bill
is too lenient and denies the funda

LARGEST SHIPS
MAY PASS BAR
Vessels Drawing rs Feet Now
May Negotiate Passage
With Safety

The channel across the mouth of
Grays Harbor now has % feet Of
water at mean low tide. At high tide
there is from 81 to 80 feet. This
is more water than there has been
on the bar in nine years.
Navigation conditions probably are
better than at any time since Grays
Harbor became port, and certainly
any lumber carrying steamers of the
Pacific may now load here and get to
sea with perfect safety.
According to soundings taken daily
by captains of local bar tugs, vessels
drawing 26 feet may pass the bar
easily. A cargo of 100000 feet or
more Of lumber may safely be carried
across.
Last July, as a result of shoaling
for several years, the channel at its
greatest depth at high water was only
from 10 to 81 feet. BY October this
had been secured out somewhat and
since that time the channel has been
deepening rapidly. 1t is expected the
channel will scour out somewhat
more before the end of the winter.
1t has changed very little since last
summer in its location.

engineers for rivers and harbors at

No stone is being left unturned by

association in their united efforts to

dorsed by the county fair directors.
The latter are meeting today at Van

cific County Fair association, and at
that convention the Chehalis county
men hope to gather some ideas that
will be helpful here.
Farmers of Chehalis county had OBJ
tanned an erroneous impression Of COM
petitors' qualifications in the prize
contest inaugurated by the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce. This fact
developed at the meeting, Tuesday
night in Elma, Of President w. C..
Mumaw and Secretary N. P. Bryan Of
the Chamber Of Commerce, with the
directors OF the Chehalis County Fair
association.
The contest is to be open to all
communities Of farmers In the coun-
ty. From announcements made by
the local commercial organization that
the prizes were to be contested for
by school districts, farmers obtained
the impression that 1t was to be con.
fined to school pupils. This is not
the fact, explain Mr.. Mumaw and
Mr.. Bryan. The school district IL
used simply a. a good unit Of district
representation in the contest.
The object Of the contest is to have
all the farmers in any community in
the county enter. jointly. A mini
mum of ten farmers. as representing
any one community, was considered
at the Elma meeting, but it was point
