THE STATE DIDN'T ROCK.

Hung up to the highest bidder for several weeks
and then finally published, the story which the
convicted industrial insurance loOter Gies prom
lsed would rock the state appeared last Sun
day and shortly disappeared, without any appar-
ent disturbance. 1t didn't measure up to the
advance publicity concerning it; except for the
unsupported charge of the twice-convicted jail
breaker that the three former commissioners
framed up the frauds and that he himself was an
innocent party to them and the 'goat, Z" the long
dissertation is very vague, very general and full
of all kinds of loophOles.
For some time the Seattle Times the Seattle
Post -Inteligencer and the Perkins outfit of news
papers have insinuated and suggested all manner
of vague and mysterious hints about the indus
trial insurance looting, struggling to convey the
impression that something had been "hushed up"
to protect some higher up and intimating that
this crock the state" story would divuge lot of
interesting information. With the exception of
the Seattle Times, these the same newspapers
which blocked every move of the investigation of
the industrial insurance frauds, which sought to
rdcule it and belittle it from the start and which
have steadfastly minimized every effort that
made to get the guilty parties and bring them to
justice; while the Times has labored under
hallucination which prompted it to publish all
manner of rot about an underworld" it con-
ceived here.
These newspapers are lax in public duty if they
know anything about the industrial insurance
footing that has not been probed, have any evil
dence against any who has not hitherto been
involved, and do not put that information in the
hands of the authorities. The truth of the matter
is that they do not know anything or else they
are prostitutng their profession.
This newspaper holds no brief for the former
industrial insurance commissioners. They should
have been fred long before they We're. for they
were guilty Of gross official negligence and incom-
potency. But these yelled hints and surs these
insinuations and suggestions these mouthings of
political gossips whose only foundation is the

NOW FOR THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

Decision to run a NOn-Partisan ticket IN the
local county campaign this fall is welcome news
to those-and there are many of them-who want
to see a determined fight made to overcome the
organization which has manipulated affairs in and
around the courthouse and throughout the county
for so long An inroad was made on it two years
ago and there have been further OBJECTIONS in the
intervening period so that the prospects for
successful outcome to this years fight are most
excellent.
This newspaper supported the Non-Partsan
ticket two years ago. 1t has been anxious for
some time to see the fight against the courthouse
organization carried further believing confidently
that there are enough voters in the county who
sick and disguised with the things that have been
DONE the way various offices have been conducted,
and with the official derelicon of various officers,
that they would join movement to ''clean out
the courthouse and make individual merit and
capability the criterions upon which candidates
are to be judged.
That is the only real basis for the selection of
city and county officers, when you get right down
to "brass tacks." just because man belongs to
party or to organization, or just because he
has been secretly put forward by the organization
should be elected to that office The only thing
that counts, the thing that we taxpayers pay for
and the thing we should get is individual capabil-
ity, the officers actual capacity to do what he is
elected to do.
We have already been treated to lot of bun
combe about the Non-Partsan ticket; we shall be
treated to more, for the organization knows that
Non-Partisan ticket will give it harder fight
than could any other and it will attempt to dis
credit it every way it can. But we must pass over
these things only to be expected and center our
attention solely the real issue the question of
the fitness Of each individual candidate for the
place he seeks.
If we elect our county officials on that basis, if
we choose our officers because of their ability
then our county business will be handled in
much more satisfactory and expeditions manner
and, obviously, much cheaper.

state of Morelos twenty-eight hacien

among eight companies. The greater
