Pullman, Wash, Friday, October 8, 1915

DINA, but apparently with little eff
feet, for that state adopted a prohi-
bltion law by decisive majority, fol-
lowing which The State, published
at Columbia, published an editorial
containing the following sound ad-
vice.
If any honest man there be who
thinks that he can not live where the
Whiskey traffic is outlawed, he owes
1t to himself to go, and stand not
upon the order of his going, to some
land where it is lawful. To remain
and encourage, tacitly or actively, an
unlawful traffic will be to become a
breaker of the law and an enemy of
the commonwealth"
1t will be well for some citizens of
this state to absorb and act upon this
advice instead of melting a defiance
of the expressed will of the majority
of the voters.

SOUND ADVICE

A
good deal of speculation is being
.uiged in just at present as to the
.ect OF the law which goes into
iect next January prohibiting the
nuiacture and sale of intoxicating
,suor In this state. Many of the
plons of the liquor traffic are
'ciaiming that 1t can not be en-
LED and that as many blind pigs

Net increase OF estimates for
1916 over actual expenditures for
1914, $5,7O2.95.
The burdens of taxation are be-
coming so oppressive that taxpayers
are clamoring for relief by lower
ing Of rates. This can not be done
oy an increase OF nearly $4,000, and
your honorable body is urged to
prUne the estimates so as to make an
actual reduction instead of an in
crease as shown in the published es-
Inmates.
Attention is called to the follow
ing expenditures, which in the opin-
ion of the committee, may be reduced
without impairing efficiency:
l. Office supplies: 1t has been
observed that stationery and sup
plies are purchased in small quaint
ties as required by each office.
There is no doubt in our minds that
ii all such supplies were purchased
III quantity, each office furnishing es-
Inmates for requirements for six
months or one year in advance to a
competent purchasing agent, and by
him submitted for competitive bids,
that saving of from rs to so per
cent might be made to the taxpayers.
Office supplies purchased by the
county amount to about $4,000 per
annum, exclusive of postage. The
saving as suggested would amount
to a considerable sum.
2. The committee recommends
that all postage be segregated and
charged to each of the offices as
used. 1t is further recommended
that stamped envelopes be purchased
from the United States government
without the individual name of the
officers on the return card. A saw
ing would be made in the purchase
price, and on the installation of
new officer, existing envelopes could
still be used by new officials.
80 F1bot III tolonbonn
lures be charged to the individual Of
fices where incurred.
A. That INDECENT relief expendi-
lures be checked up carefully from
time to time. Instances are report
ed to have occurred where relief has
been given to individuals and con-
tinued after the urgent necessity had
ceased to exist.
IS. That the road district levy be
reduced to two mills. The county
has for some years been expanding
from two to two and one-half mills
Oh state and permanent highways an
nually. This has taken consider
able burden from the road repair
fund, enabling the reduction in the
road district levy. Several of the
road districts have considerable sur
pluses on hand, and it is presented
that two mills are sufficient, if eco
nomically and efficiently expended.
The committee makes the gen
eral recommendation that all esti-
mates be made as low as reasonable
economy and efficiency will allow. 1t
is believed that liberal estimates
generally result in liberal expedi-
lures.

JOHN BULL COMING
TO PROHIBITION, But
TWILL BE A SHOCK

LONDON. April 3.-If prohibi-
ton Of the sale of liquor in Great
Britain comes, as 1t is believed it
may in few days, it will be the
biggest shock ever felt In this
couAtry-there can be no two
opinions about that.
The Norman conquest, the
York lancaster civil war and the
drastic dictatorship of Cromwell
will bear no comparison to It..
and this statement is made seri-
ously. Britons place much stress
on their personal rights, even in
war time.
The sudden shutting off of the
sale of drink is certain to be
dramatic. 1t is likely THAT 1t will
be done at night by the police
and the inland revenue officers,
avs happened in Russia at the be-
ginning of the war.
Saloonmcn Not Mapping.
The general opinion among the
Britons Is that such a method
might do for the simple Slavs,
but would not "go" in England.
They suggested that the rest of
the night would be spent in I'M
screwing the backs of the cup
boards, substituting empty bot
ties and replacing the back
boards.

FIND GERMS DO

l!EW YORK, April 3.-Bacter-

health have established the fact
that about every infectious dis

lieve that the proportion is much
higher.
