One Of the most important pieces
of legislation submitted during this
session, considering the number Of
novel issues it will raise, is the re-
quest Seattle makes that the legisla-
ture submit to the voters of the state
a constitutional amendment permit
ting the consolidation of Seattle and
King county for governmental pur-
poses. The measure will produce q
merry row In the legislature as strong
opposition is crystalizing against 1t
in King county outside of Seattle. on
political counts and for private rea-
sons. Such a coalition will wipe out
number of lucrative offices, and
that is one thing, from the politi-
clans angle, that no community on
earth has so far had sufficient Of.
People outside the city in King coun-
ty are also afraid of the Seattle tax
rate, notwithstanding the insistance
of the proponents of the measure that
the consolidation will tend to lower
taxes for all citizens of the county
because Of the big reduction in the
number of offices, thus lowering the
cost of government.

Repeal of the initiative, referen-

They ask that the repeal movement
be instituted providing the constitu-
tional convention propaganda is not
carried out. Senator Sharpstein of

fore measures can be initiated.

:. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. I

A plan for unicameral state legis-
lature of Is members, to replace the
present two houses with a total of
1919 members, is proposed in a bill in
troduced this week by Representative
Robe of Snohomish county. The pro-
posed 15-man legislature would be in
session continually, under the Robe
plan. each member would draw
$4,000 annually, and would serve
for six years. The plan is to elect
three members from each congress
sional district, and to elect one men,
Der from each district every two
years. The salary roll of the pro-
posed legislature woulo be $4,000
for two years and with other ex-
penses this would make the new plan
cost about S105, 900 biennially, about
the expense of the 139-member leg
islature now provided to meet 60
days every two years.

A concrete example of astute diplo-
macy and adroit maneuvering to get
a race track bill passed is the meas
ure now before the senate, the plaus-
ible intention of which is to laid fair
associations, agricultural societies,
county fairs and the breeding OF
thoroughbred and standard horses" "
The bill seeks to introduce in Wash
ington the system of betting by which
the association holding the races gets
5 per cent Of the wagers. All races
are to be under the control Of a COM
mission appointed by the governor.
With the repeal of the wild animal
pelt bounty almost certainty SEN
ator Sharpstein is considering sub
hitting bill giving counties the OPP
ton of setting aside a fund for this
purpose. A number of solons feel
that each county should pay from its
own treasury all cost of the extermi-
nation of predatory wild animals.
The bounty law is declared on all
sides to be prolific source of petty
graft and pilfering of state funds.
The law vas passed two years ago
and will cost Washington we'll on to
100000.

THE TWO LITTLE BOYS.

The good little boy and the bad little
boy
Both live in the house with me.
But it is quite strange can look and
look,
Yet only one boy | see
Just one little boy with sparkling eyes
And the funniest pudgy nose,
All brimful of life from the top of his
head
To the tips of his ten stubby toes.
And yet there are two of him, am
sure,
For one is bad little boy,
And / am sorry he lives here
To bother the good little boy;
Yes; poster and bother the good little
boy
Till he sometimes drives him away;
And the bad little boy is alone with
For the rest of the long, long day.
And l ask him to go for the good little
boy,
And bring him again to me;
But take him up and hold him close
While talk to him lovingly;
And while am talking he sometimes
laughs
But oftener far he cries
And see that the good little boy is
back
AS l look into the bad boys eyes.

the morning; while the architect came
toward his wife, who was standing
with Judge and Mrs. Wilcox, awaiting
him.
who is that girl, Ernest?" inquired
Mrs. Sparks after a hurried word of
greeting and introduction. How do
you happen to know herr"
THAT is Miss Van Anken,' replied
the architect, smilingly. "She has
come down for day about the
church"
"Ah!" exclaimed Mrs. Wilcox, in a
tone of unconcealed vexation.
"O-h-!" walled Mrs. Sparks, in a
voice that sounded like cry of hope
less and unavailing despair.
She had relied much on the coming
of Miss Van Anken; confident,
through her husband, of meeting that
young lady; and counting upon the
fact of being, like the benefactress of
religion, Catholic-for such she was
in name rather than practise. The be-
lief they shared in common, added to
the business relations between her
husband and Miss Van Anken, had
seemed to her sufficient to promise
great things in social way She
had looked forward with much pleas
ure to the moment when she would
present the heiress to Mrs. Wilcox,
whom, in her own narrow little heart,
she already accused of being a
"snob."
But one sudden and devastating
blow had scattered her deeply-laid
plans; and, dreadful to contemplate,
it was her own hand that had worked
their destruction! She had been over
taken by the Nemesis which occa-
sionally lies in ambush for such as
she. There was just one way of es-
cape from the humiliation, the NORTH
cation, that awaited her; either to
plead illness on the morrow and until
Mrs. Wilcox should have departed, or
herself depart The latter plan was
not feasible; she must remain with
her husband. to whom she could eX-
plain nothing.
But she need not have passed a
sleepless night, as she did; for Judge
Wilcox and his wife left the hotel
early next morning, while Miss Van
Anken took her departure shortly
after. And the architect never heard
the story.

THE EDITOR AND you.

Did you ever stop to consider the
difference between the treatment
accorded you by the editor and that
you accord him?
If he should knock your business
through the columns of his paper, or
say uncomplimentary things about
you in his paper, you would nurse a
grudge against him to your grave,
and as time rolled by it would grow
in size until you find it as hard to
hold as baby elephant soaked in
grease
Now is such the case with the
editor? He hears that you have ridi-
culed and run down his paper, that
you have told people on the streets
that it could not come to your home,
and then you tell him that your
daughter has graduated He praises
her to the sky, says she is the pride
of the community, the smartest
thing on earth and that her parents
have just cause to be proud of her.
You can mark your paper refused
stick it back in the Office and boast
of the fact to your friends, humiliat.
ing him if you can, but if your son
gets into trouble, rather than hurt
your feelings he suppresses things
connected with the unfortunate case
at the risk of being called numb
skull who can never get hold of the
news.
He hears of your denunciations
feels the sting of it all and sometimes
suffers financial loss as consequence

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE MAGIC GARDEN.

Late in the afternoon of a dull day
when the sun did not shine, the chill
dren began the game of the Magic
Garden. 1t happened in this way:
Laura looked out on the snowy back
yard, and said, Il should like to have
fountain in our garden, in the mid
die of bathing place for the birds
The bathing place ought to be round
and the water from the fountain
should come down gently, like the
rain"
"Oh, I'd love it," exclaimed Mary
Anna, land I'll tell you what l should
like. l should like to have bird
houses in our garden. l should like
to have one shaped like a Swiss chalet
and one shaped like a Japanese pa
goda."
Il should like to have some rose
bushes" said Laura, with pink roses
and white roses"
And" Mary Anna went on, 81
should like path between the rose
bushes, so that we could walk up and
down the path and smell the roses"
1T is my turn" announced Laura
"And l want little pumps beside the
rose bushes, just like the big pump out
on grandpa's farm, so that children
could pump, and pump, and pump, as
long as they wished; and besides, thai
would be a good way to water the rose
bushes!"
The thought of so many pumps in 6
garden caused what Laura and Mary
Anna enjoy most-a Laughing time.
Before they were through playins
the game, the garden was an en-
chanting place, where all kinds Of
flowers bloomed, and where the birds
ate crumbs from their hands; it wa:
a garden without caterpillars or bugs
There was little summerhouse in it
and a treasure box of children:
books. There was even little river
flowing through the garden, on which
fioated tiny canoes that never tipped
over. Once great rhinoceros with {
horn on his nose, stepped in; he be
longed to Mary Anna; but Laura sen
him tramping back to the jungle-ant
then there was another Laughing
time"
Since that happy day the children
have played the game of Magic Gar
den over and over, whenever the days
we're dull and rainy and there seemed
to be nothing else to do.
