ISSUE IS DRAWN ON
ENGLISH BLOCKADE
United States Now Ready to
Take Stand on Interference
With Commerce.

England and the United States were
prepared today to ioin Issue. direct and
clear cut. over the question Of British
trade Interference.
Agitation IN London for declaration OF
an actual blockade Of Germany. to re-
place the paper blockade of the orders
In council. promised to bring the Anglo
American disputes to head. ...
State Department officials said the ef-
feet upon this country of England's
actually blockading Germany would
have some good and some unsatisfactory
results. 1t Is expected it would largely
remove American objections. those In
the late general note on British com
mercial interference. In that note the
American Government refused to recog
nize the paper blockade as binding upon
this nation. II refused to admit Eng
lands right to cut off American trade
with Germany. direct or indirect. while
an actual blockade was not being en-
forced.
Would Admit Rights.
Declaration and carrying out by Eng
land of a real blockade of Germany. Of
fcials here declared. would thus re-
move one Of the principal issues be-
tween the countries. and the United
States would then admit direct ship
ments to Germany shall cease.
The right of the United States to sell
large quantities of merchandise to neu-
tlal countries, even though greatly in
creased purchases by those countries
should raise the suspicion that their
ultimate destination was Germany,
would still be insisted upon, however.
In official and diplomatic quarters,
grave question was raised today regard
ing Englands ability to enforce the
proposed blockade. Except by resort
to diplomatic pressure of the most OK
treme kind upon Germany's neutral
nei2hbors, doubt was expressed regard
ing how England can blockade Ger
many by land. Russia's cooperation
in the blockade. IT was expected, wouiI
be asked to cut off Germany in the
Baltic Sea.
Would Protect Neutrals.
This Government was prepared to re-
sist any feature of the blockade which
should be inimical TO American COM
merce with Denmark, Sweden or Hol-
land.
How soon the forthcoming note pro-
testing against the English contraband
policy may be sent would not be pre-
dicted today by Secretary Lansing.
As tho proposed blockade plan in
Parliament many materially alter con-
traband conditions. It was believed the
note would be held up for q short time
10 await Englands imminent action.

STONE GOES TO "PEN."
Governor Refuses to Pardon Man
Who Confessed to Frauds.

Governor Lister Saturday declined
to grant a petition for pardon pre-
sented by Mrs. Stone on behalf Of her
husband, Frank Stone, who confessed
to his part in the industrial insurance
department frauds and was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary, and
Sunday Stone was taken to Walla
Walla to begin his sentence. The Pc
tition for his pardon bore 90 names,
among them being the mayor, chief
of police and various prominent citi-
ents of Olympia, including the prose-
cutting attorney, sheriff, deputy sher-
if and police officers. Governor Lis
ter expressed his appreciation of the
services Stone rendered the state as
a witness in making Gillies' convic-
ton certain, but said that he did not
feel justified in granting pardon, a
statement in line with his previous
declarations that no promise of exec
utive immunity had been made to
Stone.

OIL INSPECTION
LAW IS ILLEGAL
STANDARD OIL, WHICH HAD 1T
PASSED. ALSO HAS 1T
KNOCKED OUT.

That John d. Rockefeller has been
mulcted to the extent of $255,672 by
the oil inspection law of this state is
the essence of an opinion given by
Judge d. F. Wright of the local supe-
rior court this week in declaring I'M
constitutional the law under which a
total of $395,S76 has been collected
in fees from the Standard Oil COM
pany since the inspection act was
passed.
peculiar feature of the case is
that legislators of the period recall
that this law was passed at the in
stance of the Standard Oil company
several sessions ago as means of
combating competitors who were Of
fering a cheaper oil for sale in this
state.
About $4,000 has been paid to the
clerk of Thurston county under pro-
test since suit was started by the COM
pany, and this will have to be re-
funded if the supreme court uphOlds
Judge Wright. No reversionary con-
ditions attach to the balance, as it has
been paid without protest.
While Judge Ballinger and Judge
Battle, representing the Standard Oil
company, and the attorney generals
Office devoted their arguments princi
pally to federal points involving an
alleged interference with interstate
commerce, Judge Wright decided the
case under state constitutional provi-
sions for collecting taxes.
He holds all money in excess of the
actual cost of collection to be a tax,
and, as such, illegal under sections of
the constitution requiring uniform
and equitable assessment of all prop
erty upon just monetary valuation,
and restriction of tax to the stated
object to which the law authorizing
it shall apply, as the only basis for
taxation.
AS the oil inspection income fig
ures out, about 80 cents went for the
cost of collection and the remaining
20 cents of each dollar realized in
fees went into the general fund as
clear profit on the operation. The
Rockefeller interests objected to the
profit taken by the state.
If the supreme court upholds Judge
Wright's decision, the next legisla-
ture will probably be asked to estab-
lish the inspection service on the
proper basis.

the right of fran


chise to women.
we commend the Republican
members of the delegation at Wash
ington for their devotion to the in
terests and welfare of the state.
We commend the last legislature
for it's wise enactments, and partic-
ularly for its record of economy.
We commend the able and eff
clent service rendered by the present
Republican state officials in the ad-
ministration of their respective Of
fees.
I'VE request the next legislature
to submit to the people of the state
the question of calling a constitu-
tional convention.
Popular government in its truest
sense is a government by responsible
political parties. We condemn any
action, bills or measures seeking to
do away with or weaken party organ
lzatlon in state or county.
I'VE favor the repeal of the COM
pulsory second choice provision in
the primary election law.
We favor arbitration in industrial
disputes where questions of wages
or hours of service are involved. Es-
pecially should this apply where pub
lie service corporations are parties
to the disputes. The Republican par
ty re-asserts its steadfast opposition
to the child labor evil, and pledges
itself to further remedy the same
both by state and national legisla-
ton.
I'VE pledge the Republican party
of this state that it will ever keep
step with the advancing sentiment
upon the vital and pressing social and
economic problems.
Humanitarian legislation en-
bracing, among others, the work.
mems compensation law, the wom-
ems eight-hour law and the minimum
wage law for women, are the fruits
Of Republican administration. Time
has proven that these laws are good.
They emphasize the purpose of the
Republican party to legislate in the
interests of all the people.
eve condemn the Democratic gov
ernor of the state for vetoing bills
which were intended to purify cleo
tiOns, and prevent fraud in direct leg
islation, to which the highest court
of the state had called specific atten-
ton.
eve recommend to the electors Of
the state that they sustain by their
vote the action of the legislature on
the above referred bills.
1--WE re-afirm our belief in the wis
dom and fairness of the party plat
form measures designed to strength
en- and supplement the direct pri-
mary
"In the administration of the bus
mess of the state, Democratic gov
ernor has demonstrated his unfitness
as an executive. The records of ex-
pendtures disproves his claims of
economies. His inattention to his
duties, due to his attend
ance on social and political functions,
makes hiE directly responsible for
the inefficient, careless and criminal
methods pursued in his industrial
insurance department. His APP
of the Industrial insur-
ance commissioners, the agricultural

strates a lack of ability to make ap-
pointments.
"The delegates from this state
should 60 to the national convention

be to unite with their colleagues ON

ord and ability will commend him to
the people Of the whole country and
who will lead united party to sue

arably linked with the success OF the
Republican party. We ask for the
party's return to power with the firm
conviction that Herewith will be
vouchsafed to the people that indi-
vidual state and national prosperity
, which they have always enjoyed un-
der Republican rule.
I'VE pledge ourselves to the sup
port of patriotic and forward-facing
Amercanism. The Republican party
stands for American principles of
government; for the full rights and
privileges of American citizenship:
for the defense of America and Amer
leans against attack from any quarter
whatsoever: for the welfare of Amer
lean business and for protection OF
American labor; for a friendly atti-
tude of government toward legitimate
business; but, above all, for those en-
during principles of national honor,
of liberty, of justice and of fidelity to
national obligations, through adher-
ence to which the nation has grown
great.
Compulsory Military Training.
Believing that the best guarantee
of peace is preparedness, and that the
burden of such preparedness should
be borne by all, regardless of station
in life, we favor:
"First--A navy as large and as
we'll equipped and manned as that of
any other nation.
"Second-That half the fighting
strength of such navy be stationed on
the Pacific coast
"Third-A standing army adequate
to protect our interests and maintain
our dignity on the American CONT
nent.
"Fourth-Military training under
some plan similar to that of the Swiss
republic, compulsory to all physically
qualified males between the ages of
II and 81 years, but calling for serv-
ice only in case of foreign invasion.
1--WE commend the National Guard
of Washington for the excellent char
acter of it's commissioned and enlisted
personnel and the uniformly high rat
ing it has been given by the federal
authorities.
"That this convention favors a rea-
sonable first aid clause to the indus
trial insurance act and goes on record
for the enactment of the same by the
legislature.
eve condemn the Democratic ad-
ministration for it's uncertain, incon-
sistent and irresponsible. interference
in the affairs of Mexico. This has led
to the loss of life and property of
American citizens, not only in Mexico
but on our own soil.
"The ownership of the Panama
canal and our complete and exclusive
right of sovereignty over it are not
open to question. We reiterate our
belief in the wisdom and justice of
the act exempting American coastwise
ships from the payment of tolls in the
use of the Panama canal, and we not
only condemn the present national ad-
ministration for it's direct violation of
its platform regarding free tolls, but
we vigorously condemn the Demo-
cratic party for it's cowardly surren-
der of American sovereignty over this
great waterway.
