WASHINGTON in

Assistant Secretary Of State
Corrects Error in Bureau
of Mines Bulletin
30 SWEENEY ON THE JOB
Bulletin on Available Coal in
Nation Omits Mention Of
! Washington Product

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Those nu.
merouS bureaus of the government
which come under the jurisdiction of
Bo Sweeney, assistant secretary of
the interior are convinced, if some
other bureaus of the government are
not,f that the state of Washington is
in i He United States, and on the map.
In 3the government service in Wash
insEton, it might be mentioned paren-
tb}etically, are many persons who in
silst that Seattle is in Oregon, and
who always speak Of Washington ter
rQtory when referring to the state.
None such may be found in the Bo
Sweeney bureaus now.
AS an example, the bureau of mines
{recently presented to the assistant
secretary for his approval before pub
lication the manuscript of bulletin
entitled, UNITED States Coal Avail
able for Export Trade" Mr.. Swee-
ney gave it the once over and then

of extreme irritation. His activities
conveyed to the authorities of the
bureau Of mines the information that
he wanted to sec them right away,
sooner if possible.
They came. They were asked to
60 over the manuscript and point out
any mention of state of Washington
coal in this document, which purport-
ed to list all possible export coal. They
could not do it. They explained that
an obvious error had been commit
ted somewhere, and that it would not
happen again. The manuscript went
back for revision, and when It was
returned there was q nice little chap;
ter, headed "Group Z, Washington
Coal, Shipping Ports: Tacoma and
Seattle" with analyses Of the sever.
al types produced.
The bulletin. published in English
Spanish and Portuguese, is being
widely circulated, especially in Cen
trail and South American countries.

Non Partisan Handling Of
State Affairs Secures Legis-
lature's Appreciation

OLYMPIA, Jan. 2S.-Governor Lis
ter is receiving many favorable COM
ments from different parts Of the state
on his message to the present legis-
lature. A consensus of these express
sions, coming from both newspapers
and public men Of prominence, gives
the message place as one of the really
great documents of Washington in the
soundness of policies advocated, the
justness Of opinions advanced, and its
unbiased handling of affairs Of the
state which have heretofore often been
used as political footballs.
This is the main reason why that
although the present legislature IL
overwhelming republican the govern
or's influence is 80 strongly felt In
all the legislation that Is going for
ward. From the present outlook Gov
ernor Lister will be as much consulted
and his wishes as highly respected by
the present legislature as though its
Political complexion were the same az
his own.
So far there has been but a slight
disposition to heckle or filibuster
against any Of his measures by re-
publican members, and no opposition
has shown head beyond the reason
able differences Of opinion developing
normally from individual viewpoints,
and that shown by very few men,
bers of the legislature who feel they
have a grievance against the govern
or on account Of some pet measure
Of theirs having been defeated a q 70.

JITNEY OFFERS
nut TO CRACK
Problem Presented to Legis-
lature in Unexpected Growth
of Nickle Fare Auto Car

OLYMPIA, Jan. 2S.-Bursting out of
a clear sky and with such startling
suddenness as to cause the ordinary
traffic man to catch his breath, the jit.
ney bus lines. organized in the last
few days in the larger cities of the
state, have become one OF the monu-
mental problems with which the pres
ent legislature will have to grapple.
Governor Lister himself is keenly
following the inception and evolution
Of the new carrying industry. The mir
acle of the jitney innovation to public
utility people and transportation men
Of the state is the phenomenal quick
ness with which the idea was sprung
and the sweeping manner in which
the fields Of service have already been
covered.
In all the first and second-class CT
ties of the state today jitneys are
operating and their numbers increase
with each twenty-four hours. That they
will produce a profound change in the
present highly organized street rail-
way carrying system everyone agrees,
and there are those among the legis-
lators here who look for the street
car to be relegated to the scrap heap.
Transportation men who have closely
scrutinized the condition admit the
jitney has already developed into a
whale, considered from a transporta-
ton angle.
Street car companies, finding their
earnings enormously hewed down,
practically overnight have a strong
lobby here working for drastic legis-
lation that will put the jitney out of
business. But it is practically certain
prohibitive legislation will not be pass
ed. as the many statesmen interviewed
look on the innovation as one of the
natural outgrowths of the automobile
industry and bound to come sooner or
later.
As it now stands, street car com
panies in Tacoma and Seattle claim
the jitney has already wrested the
cream Of business from them. which
is the short haul over paved streets
and the business can hardly be said to
be out Of it's swaddling clothes. Street
railway companies are pulling off cara
and cutting down their forces. and
threatening to construct no more rail
way extensions. The jitney men reply
that such extensions would now never
be Used anyway. and declare the time
IL near when very few street cars viii
be seen even in downtown districts
lin cities.

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-01-25

One of the best talks the Vermont
Press association has ever heard was
given at the annual meeting Friday by
f. w. Mitchell, manager of the Nc
Cuen store in Montpelier. He was the
manager of a big city
store five years before engaging in
business for himself in this state. He
spoke from the standpoint of the mer-
chant who advertises. He is an en-
thusaist on publicity and believes that
the only advertising of value to the
local dealer is through the newspapers.
He did not attempt to gain the favor
of his audience by serving them tatfy
but handed out criticism freely, show
ing how the publisher should assist
and advise the advertiser. He gave
striking illustrations of good and bad
styles of advertising, emphasizing the
point that the advertiser in the col
umns of the newspapers ought to tall
to people about his goods just as he
would talk to prospective customers IL
his own store.

CHANGED that the election for aldermen
was in an off year from that of the

who longed to be mayor was always
able to run for alderman after he had
been defeated for the mayoralty.
And he was always elected alder
man Of his ward by increasing maiori-

years he yearned to exercise the duties

one time and the aspiring alderman
announced that if the city's chief exec
utive became incapacitated he would
claim the right TO act as mayor and let
the people of the city know In some
way that he was mayor indeed.
The mayor had a bad case of rheu-
matism. At last he did not come down
TO his Office, and the head Of the alder
manic board kept his ear to the ground
ready to act at a seconds notice.
Two days went by. Three days. A
week. On the telephone it was always
reported that the mayor was about the
same.

longer. Ten days was too much for a
mayor to be away. He drove to the
mayors house one night ready to ask
him why he didn't delegate some one

senator proposals to override little
things like the constitution when it
happens to stand in the way of his
designs. The banks can take care
of their accounts without further state
aid and hotelkeepers and other bust
ness men who may have been victim
lied by worthless checks should have
little sympathy in these days of tele-

that lawyers, not elected to the legis-

when the lawmakers were in session.
- Solely in the interests Of good gov.

doubtedly true was the lawyer s reply.

never there unless elected by the
