OLYMPIA, Wash.-Of the 3S1,643 persons
voting at the 1914 election, 94.6 per cent voted
on the initiative measures, while the total vote
for United States senator was but 80 per cent of
the whole vote cast. 1t has been frequently
charged that the people would not interest them
selves in the study of proposed laws under the
system of direct legislation but these figures in
dictate that they do take an interest, and lively
one at that.
Miss Lucy r. Case, executive secretary for the
Joint Legislative Committee, Of the Grange the
Farmers Union and the Washington State Fed
Grafton of Labor, has been making an analysis of
the November election returns, and the follow
ing interesting facts are taken from the figures:
Total vote cast at the November election,
3S1,643; total vote cast for United States SEN
ator, 345,279.
The highest percentage voting an initiative
measure 94.6, the lowest 74.6; percentage
voting all initiative measures, 81; percentage
voting all referred measures, SO. The aver
age percentage voting on all initiative and re-
ferred measures 87.5, while the percentage
on United States senator was 80.
There were 1854 votes in favor Of Initia-
tive Measure No. g. the ant-employment agency
bill, while Stephen ]. Chadwick received but
9,287 votes.
The average vote in favor of the five joint
initiative measures that got on the ballot was
135,5OO, or 5000 more votes than were cast for
Wesley l.. Jones, the successful candidate for U.
S. senator.
The First Aid bill, initiative measure No. 9, re-
ceived 143,738 votes, against vote OF 97,251
for Ernest Lister for governor in the 1912 cleo
ton.
No. 10, the road bill, the lowest of the five
Joint initiative measures, received III, sos votes,
as against 99949 votes for 1. M. Howell for Sec
rotary of state in the 1912 election.
Another very interesting fact concerning the
initiative measures is that of the cost of the
election The Stop, Look and Listen League
made the charge during the campaign that the
cost would reach up into the hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars. The figures OF the secretary OF
state show that the total cost Of election includ-
ing checking of petitions, printing of pamphlets,
postage and all other items totalled only
$45,975.21 The cost Of printing the pamphlet,
which is included in this sum. was $9,566.42.

MUNICIPAL Plants From Making
Competitive Rates.
Especial Correspondence)
OLYMPIA, WASH, Jan. Ex-senator Howard
Taylor is the father and introducer of Senate
Bill As, one Of the most vicious measures ever
proposed in the legislature Of this state. It has
been drafted in the interest of the public serv-
ice trusts of the different cities Of the state and
is intended to prevent municipal plants from get
ting foothold, by providing that such plants
cannot make competitive rates.
This bill declares: sc The state agree,
that the grantee (of public service franchise)
shall have the right to construct, maintain and
operate, during the life of the franchise, thu
public utility authorized thereby, for the rates,
tolls and rate of return herein specified, and
whereby the state agrees that the grantee shall
have the right to construct maintain and operate,
during the life of the franchise the public util-
ity' authorized thereby, and until the expiration
thereof, to charge, receive and retain fair and
reasonable rates and tolls, based on the value Of
the service rendered to the public and any rate Of
return not less than fair and reasonable rate
on the true value of going concern, which is
used either under or in connection with such
franchise, and that until such expiration the
grantee shall not be deprived of any such rights
by the state or under authority of the state ex-
cept by condemnation"
Another section declares that mo municipal
corporation shall enter upon the original con-
struction of any public utility for use in sup
plying public utility service to Others without
first taking by condemnation by
acquiring by purchase. the plant or property as q
going concern of the owner or operator engaged
in serving the public in such municipal corpora
ton with similar public utility or giving sim
liar service"
The enactment of such law would be the
death knell of municipal ownership since no
publicly owned plant would be permitted to
charge a lower rate for its service than would
the privately owned plants. The viciOusness OF
this measure has aroused the Washington State
League of Municipalities, now in session in Olym-
pia and a red-hot hearing was had before the
Joint committees of the house and senate Monday
afternoon. at which the yhole purpose of the
bill was exposed by several able speakers

sPRINGTIME HINTS.

! With the coming Of the warm
summer months there comes also
the danger Of spread Of diseases
, by the filth-carrying fly and the
. malaria mosquito.
A small amount of work done
at present. before the beginning
OF the breeding season. will do
more good than a much greater
amount done later. The destruc-
ton or treatment Of the breeding
places Of these pests will not ONLY
decrease the amount of sickness
in community, but will remove a
very considerable annoyance to
personal comfort.
Suppression of Mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes breed onlv in stand
ing water, or water with very
slight current. Certain species
of mospitoes are the only means
by which malaria is transmitted
from one individual to another.
All receptacles, such as rain
water barrels, cisterns. water
barrels for fire protection. etc..
should be tightly. covered or
screened to prevent access of mos
quitoes to the water. Low areas.
where water collects and stands.
should be drained or filed. Such
bodies Of water as cannot be filed
should be stocked with minnows
or other small lsh which eat the
mosquito larvae. or should be
oiled weekly during the summer
months.
Weeds and brush. which serve
to shelter the adult MOSQUITOES
from the sun, should be cut anil
kept cut down during the sum
mer.
Defective house cutters should
be repaired. tin cans. old buck
cts and bottles and such thing
on the dumps should he DESTROYED.
Sleeping apartments should b.
screened, or bars should be used
on the beds.
Suppression Of Flies.
The most important point in
the suppression Of flies. as in the
suppression of other insect pests.
is the destruction Of breedineI
places. All garbage should be-
kept in tightly covered cans It
