Cost Depends on Place.
The cost Is entirely dependent on local
conditions and the availability Of ma

mediately available the cost of the sur.
face may be as low as 1850 to t3,oot

REFERENDUM NO. 8

WHEN the last legislature
w assembled one of the things
that was promptly called to the
attention of the members was
the decision of the supreme
court calling upon, if not in fact
instructing so far as the court
might properly do so, the legis-
lature to pass a law to protect
the initiative and referendum
amendment to the constitution
from fraud. The court found in
a case before it that it was in a
position where it could not act,
even tho it found certain ititia-
tive petitions were honeycombed
with fraud. Therefore, the court
called upon the legislature to.
pass a measure that would guard
the initiative and referendum
amendment providing for direct
legislation which the people
themselves had adopted, barring
such frauds in the future. AS a
result of this court mandate,
House Bill No. 12O, printed on
page 1856, Session Laws of 1915,
was passed. That the constitu-
tional amendment was not suf-
ficiently safeguarded was ap-
parent in 1914, when supreme
judges called attention to the
frauds, and Judge Chadwick
wrote an opinion in which this
language appears: e.
81 have written my opinion of
the proceedings attending the
preparation and filing of the pc
titions in these cases so that
when the legislature is convened
it will show that it has been iu-

MEETING THE ISSUE

CERTAINLY there can no
~ longer be any reasonable
doubt as to where Ex-Governor
Henry Mcbride stands on the
wet and dry question. He is
meeting the challenge of the
''dries" in no minced nor evasive
terms. He is meeting the issue
squarely and in a manner that
should be satisfactory to the
most radical prohibitionist.
He is backing up his published
statements with his personal
word that if he is elected there
will be no tampering with the
present prohibition law unless it
is done over his protest and over
his veto. He even goes further
than this and goes on record as
opposed to the passage of either
the so-called Brewers Bill or
the "Hotel Bill" In his travels
over the state he is telling the
people that he believes prohibi-
ton in the state of Washington
has been a success from an eco
nomic as well as from a moral
point of view and that he is not
in favor of any backward step.
What more could the prohibit
tionists ask for? What more
can Ernest Lister or any other
man promise? And be it known
that Henry Mcbride is not the
type of man whose promises are
easily made and soon forgotten.
His record as governor of this
state fully demonstrated the fact
that he does not for a moment
permit anybody to do his think
ing for him or to formulate his
policies and that when he fights
he fights in the open. In fact he
sacrificed his chances for re-elec-
ton because he refused to be
dominated or dictated to. He
may lack the polish and the SUI
avity of his democratic opponent
but when it comes to hard-head-
ed business judgment, executive
ability and backbone he stands
head and shoulders above the
present executive.

dicially held that certified fraud
is legal fraud; that it's former act
has no gates to shut out frauds
and forgeries and that the cita-
del of truth and honesty that it
undertook to build around the
constitutional amendment per-
hitting and encouraging legisla-
ton is house of cards."
Following the suggestion of
the supreme court, the legisla-
ture of 1915 passed a bill which
is now submitted to the people as
Referendum No. 3.
Taxpaying citizens, people en-
gagged in business, or those hav-
ing established places of resi-
dence, are finding no objection
to the provisions requiring sign
ers of initiative or referendum
petitions to be legal voters. Reg
istration is the only means
whereby the standing of voters
can be established. In fact, reg
istration by all voters is the
only means of protecting legal
voters from fraud.
The frauds practiced have
brought discredit to the principle
of direct legislation and all real
friends of the initiative and ref
erendum are in favor of just and
reasonable regulations and will
vote Eyes" on election day.

IT is rather unfortunate that
i this year, contrary to the in
tent of the state election laws,
three commissioners are to be
elected in the county instead of
two. The election laws were so
framed that each year one of
the three commissioners will
hold over. The object of this
provision, of course, is always to
have on the board at least one
man who is familiar with the de-
tails of county government. 1t
so happens in this county that
two of the present commission
ers are holding Office by appoint
ment and their terms of office
automatically expire at this cleo
ton regardless of the length OF
term for which their predecess-
ors were elected.
The fact that there is pos
sibility of an entirely new board
being elected, is all the more rea-
son, we believe, why the friends
of F. l.. Bash take an active in
terest in his candidacy. Not on
ly do we belieye that Mr.. Bash
is entitled to election upon
his record but the wishes of the
people in his district are entitled
to consideration at the hands
of the voters in the other two
districts.
There is no gainsaying the
fact that Mr.. Bash is the man
whom the people of the middle
district want to represent them
on the board of commissioners.
The vote at the primary election
was too decisive to leave any
room for doubt on this score. Not
only did he record a sweeping
victory in his own party but he
got almost seventy-five per cent
of all the votes in the district,
both republican and democratic.
The combined votes of Andrews,
republican, and Gibson, demo-
crat, was only 81 as against 231
for Bash. -.... -r~
Seventy-five per cent of the
people in the first district have
said they want F. L. Bash as
their commissioner. Certainly
this expression is not to be ig-
nored by the voters in other
parts of the county. The
wishes of the people in the mid
die district should be needed and
Mr.. Basins percentage on No
vember z should be as large as it
was on September IL. Iii
