READY TO ENFORCE
MILK SUPPLY Law
STATE TO BEGIN JUNE 10 IN
6PECTING DAIRY CATTLE IN
CLEANUP CAMPAIGN.

The state department Of agricul'
ture will have everything in readi'
ness for work beginning June II
under the new milk inspection law
which becomes effective ON that date
providing compensation for owners
whose dairy cattle are condemned or
account of tubercular infection. &C.
cording to an announcement made b,
the department this week.
DR.. H. T. Graves. commissioner ol
agriculture. has . stan of three
capable salaried veterinaries selected
to make the tests. and has drawn VI
regulations covering methods to be
followed. Owners applying for the
state test will be required to elect
whether they will choose the slaugh'
ter or quarantine method.
The Slaughter Method.
II the slaughter method is chosen
cows that react to the tuberculin test
will be appraised by the inspector and
owner. the county agriculturist to be
called in to settle any dispute. Each
infected COW will then be slaughtered,
the proceeds Of the sale of meat
turned over to the owner, while the
state will pay sufficient additional
money to a limit of $35, to bring the
total proceeds to the appraised value
In case the post mortem shows no
tubercular LESSONS, the owner will be
entitled to a maximum of SIS from
the state.
Error with standard tuberclin tests
occurs in only about per cent OF
cases. All state inspectors have been
placed under $4,000 bonds to protect
the state and owners of dairy cattle
If the quarantine method is elected
the owner will be required to segre-
gate his herd and may use the reac-
tors for breeding purposes but must
use none of their milk. On account
of the restrictions provided this meth
cd probably will be adopted only In
the case of purebred stock.
In connection with the cleanup
campaign of the state milk supply
that will be made possible by the new
law DR.. Graves has announced that
all imported cattle consigned to deal
ers will be re-tested at the state line
to prevent Washington from being
made a dumping ground for tubercu-
lar cattle, several Eastern states hav-
ing careless local inspections.

COUNTY'S ROADS ARE
CLAIMING attention
OLYMPIC HIGHWAY no BE IN.
PROVED-BUCODA AND GRAND
MOUND IN DISPUTE.

While the county commissioners.
in connection with the state highway
commission. are preparing for the
Strengthening and reconstruction Of
three and . half miles Of Thurston
county's portion Of the Olympia
Shelton road. oficially known - the
Olympic highway, and the new route
of the Pacific highway between Lacey
and Nisqually. out of the appropria-
tions authorised by the last legisla-
ture, residents of the southwestern
part Of the county are engaged in q
dispute before the highway commits
sion over the route to be followed by
the Pacific highway from Tenino to
Centralia. residents Of Bucoda want
ing it to pass through their town and
Grand Mound citizens desiring II to
come their way, and roads matters
are receiving considerable attention
in Thurston county.
The Bucoda people we're first on
the ground, formally petitioning the
highway commission some months
ago that the route between Tenino and
Centralia be officially fixed through
Bucoda, when the highway was finally
established. The fore part of this
week a delegation from Grand Mound
appeared before Commissioner Will
lam r. Roy and Chief Engineer James
Allen, and secured a promise that no
action would be taken until they had
had an opportunity to submit petit
ton and argument supporting the
route they propose, and until the
highway department had made an
official inspection of the two routes.
When the Pacific highway was
originally laid out only the principal
cities through which it was to pass
were designated, the highway COM
mission being authorized to deter
mine the route between these places.
The controversy between Bucoda and
Grand Mound is only one of many
that have occurred along the general
route, but the residents there are suf-
ficiently interested to be busying
themselves in circulating petitions
and preparing arguments as to the
preference of one route over the
other.
So far as the Olympic highway is
concerned, bids for the new work will
be called for soon SO that the con-
tract can be let the latter part Of June
and the job completed this summer.
The strip to be improved runs from
the Mason county line toward Olym-
pia and the route will be straight
ened, cleared, graded and gravelled.

John Radcliffe and wife to condemn
strips of land in the vicinity of Lacey

Mayor MOttman's Reply.

The article signed Olympia Light

goes. but 1t does not 60 far enough to
give the public and taxpayers all the
facts to form q correct opinion Of the
whole situation.
Under the laws Of this state the
city o@cials cannot issue any warrant
without having provisions previously
made an the income to meet said war
rant. and. further. the last legislature
provided that twelve (12) mills for
running expenses and six co. mills
for Indebtedness are the limit cities Of
the class Olympia belongs in can 60
in thSir tax levy. Now when you
take ihto confederation that after this
year the $4,000 net . year saloon

matsly $4,000 q year Is all the &C.

etc.. that 10. all OF the departments Of
the city. for some Of which separate
funds are now maintained, and sepa-
rate levies made. will have to be
taken care of out of one fund-the
current expense fund-in the future,
for which the levy II limited to twelve
(12) mills. you can readily figure
how much there will be left for street
lighting.
City Levy Limited.
You cannot make two and two
count six in city affairs any more than
you can in private business. Also, it
must be borne in mind that in max
ing the levy for the present year last
October, the city was limited to ten
(10) mills for running expenses of
the city, which was entirely made
quate to meet the real needs of the
city. and it was fully realized by the
city council and the other city Off
cials at the time of making the
budget that the street lighting could
not be maintained for longer period
than three (3) months in 1915. No
effort was made to secure reduction
Of the rate the first of January, 1915,
for the reason that 1t was such a
short time before all street lighting
would have to be discontinued.
Olympia has paid yearly for light
and water about $4,000. and with
our income cut down to a low ebb we
must cut our expenses for lights and
water down to less than $1,000 year
to get along at all. Water is a neces-
sity-light simply convenience. The
Olympia Light & Power Co. has a
monopoly in the electric lighting here
and the undersigned by vetoing the
Lemon-Foshay franchise as far as the
light clause is concerned helped the
Olympia Light & Power Co. to main
tain said monopoly.
The Olympia Light & Power Co.,
by it's last statement, shows net
yearly earning OF over $28. 8.000-and
when we figure that the people Of
Olympia are paying. in addition to the
legitimate and judicious investments
Of said company. also interest on
about $150.0O0 worth of mistakes
made in the last twenty-five (25)
years by said corporation, everyone
who takes the trouble to investigate
must realize that the people Of Olym-
pia collectively and individually have
been charged too high rate for serv-
ice rendered.

DRINKERS DEATH RATE HIGH.

Startling evidence Of the effect OF
alcohol on the moderate drinkers fs
offered by the Life Extension instt'
tute. The bulletin issued to its mem
bers shows that In one Canadian and
three British life insurance companies
the mortality among so-called moder-
ate drinkers, accepted as temperate
and healthy risks, exceeded the death
rate among the abstainers by 7S, 81,
81 and Al per cent, respectively.
New data was recently compiled by
forty-three American life insurance
companies. covering period of twen-
ty-five years, with the following re.
suits: Steady moderate drinkers, ac'
cepted as standard risks, death rate &c
per cent above the average. Former
drinkers (admitting past excesses),
death rate so per cent above the aver.
age. Very moderate drinkers. 1s per
cent above the average.
Experimental laboratory work"
says the board of scientific authorities,
has kept pace with statistical investi-
cation, and the knowledge gained from
the laboratory, not only in experiments
on animals, but on man himself, shows
that higher death rate among alco-
hol users is what we would naturally
expect to find in the light Of what we
know regarding its effects on the
body"

But do know that the batters in our
league do not practice hit and rum
ming. Ty Cobb is the greatest hitter
the world has known, but he is no hit
and-run batter. for the reason he has
not given 1t any attention to speak
of. The tendency of all the would-be
hit-and-run batters is to hit the ball
as hard as they can. and trust to luck
to 1t going safely. The true hit and
runner like Foster. however. has the
knack of Just meeting the ball and
making real effort to hit It through
the territory vacated by the fielder who
goes to cover the base.
But. up to date. the hit-and-run
play. as It is attempted in the Ameri-
can league. Is little to be feared"

to be wild. There is an opposite rule
to be followed as well, which is never
hit and run when the pitcher is wild,
as base on balls is much more to be
desired than the chance of poking q
ball through vacated territory.
Il have known instances where
there was a wild pitcher in the box,
and the team at bat hung out the
hit-and-run sign so that 1t could be
read by a blind man. Why? They
wanted the catcher to see the sign
and to call for pitch-outs. knowing it
was a hard job for the pitcher to get
it over as it was. and that a few
waste balls would have him up in the
air completely, and either passing the
batters or growing the ball for them.
"Of course, l do not know much
about the National league batters. SO
cannot speak for the old league.

"PITCH-OUT" IS WRONG
Opinion Of Manager Hughey Jen.
nings of Detroit Tigers.
Duke Farrell and Wilbert Robinson
Seldom Called for Waste Ball.
American League Batters Do
Not Practice Hlt.and-Run.

When should q catcher call for q
pitch-out? Is the waste ball good
defense?
These two questions were shot at
Hugh Jennings. His reply was:
There Is only one out-and-out re-
liable hit-and-run batter in the Amer
ican league. That is Eddie Foster Of
the Washington club. With only one
such consistent hit and runner why
should catchers be SO prone to call
for pitch-outs?
Two of the best catchers who ever
lived were Duke Farrell and Wilbert
Robinson. Seldom did either call for
a pitch-out except when Willie Keeler
was at bat. for he could hit to any
field.
MY belief is that the waste ball
should be called for but rarely. and
never IL the pitcher shows tendency

ATTITUDE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH

"All the great Catholic societies re-
fuse membership to those engaged In
the liquor business" says Mr.. John F.
Cunneen. prominent Catholic and la
Dor leader. 'In Maine the Catholics
have a majority of the church mem
bership. and you know how Maine
stands on the liquor question. In
Cambridge. Mass, the Catholic church
membership equals II per cent Of the
total church membership, and for 2S
years Cambridge has outlawed the sa-
loon. While the Catholic may vote
as he pleases upon the saloon ques-
tion,' the church gives him no argu-
ment In favor of the saloon. On the
contrary. all the arguments are against
1t. Rev. James E. Cassidy OF Fall
River. Mass. once said: You dare
not pray for the saloon No Catholic
who follows Father Cassidy's advice

FOR VALUE RECEIVED.
The liquor interests have unwitting-
ly given prohibition in West Virginia
much valuable publicity. Their frantic
efforts to prove that deficit in the
state treasury is due to the loss of
liquor revenue has called forth from
loyal citizens of the little mountain
state" strong testimonials on the sub
ject. In the light of the moral. social
and economic benefits derived from
the prohibitory law. testified to by
men of every class, q deficiency OF
few thousand dollars seems Of COM
paratively little importance.
AS a matter of fact the loss Of the
100000 a year in revenue to West
Virginia as q result of the adoption OF
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment does not impose upon the indi.
vidual taxpayer any burden worth con-
sidering. In a letter written by the
state auditor, which has recently been
made public, he shows that five cents
additional state taxes on the hundred.
dollar valuation will take care Of the
money loss on liquor licenses. This
would cost a man whose property was
assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; II he
has $4,000 worth. he would have to
pay one dollar. and If he had $4,000,
he would be obliged to expend five
dollars. So much for the enormous
load of taxation being thrust upon the
property owners of the state because
Of prohibition! The payment of such
Insignificant amounts would certainly
appeal to a level-headed business man
as mighty good investment.

Governor Urges New Bench Law.


Denver.-Gov. Carlson has issued q
statement in which he expressed the
opinion that the statute governing the
disqualification of judges should be
amended now that the State Supreme
Court has given a construction of the
statute in the decision announced by
It, in which it issued writ Of prohf-
bition preventing Judge CRANKY Hill
yer of the Third Judicial district from
hearing the cases of three former coal
strikers charged with murder. In dis
cussing the statement, which was is
sued in typewriter form, the governor
said he had particularly in mind the
relation of the decision to the prose-
cution of liquor cases under the pro-
hibition law. After reviewing the de-
cision, the governor says:
"Jf a defendant believes that the
trial Judge is prejudiced against him,
and sets up his alleged facts and the
trial Judge meets such statements by
evidence from his side, the Supreme
Court then would have record before
it in which both sides had been heard
and the judgment of the niger court
as to prejudice or non-prejudice of the
trial judge would not be ex parte, but
fair to both"
