.R|NEHAR1 LOSES OUT As
APP0|NTEE OF HOWELL
Is Not Renamed State Inspector of
Weights-Tells His
Reasons.

With a simple statement that his
services are not satisfactory, Secre-
tary of State l. M. Howell has omit
ted A. w. Rinehart's name from the
list of his reappointments for the
new term. He is the only one in
that department not reappointed.
Rinehart has served as deputy
state inspector of weights and meas
ures for the past four years, and
the job is worth $2,40O year.
He claims he has been crowded off
the payroll by Jimmy Davis, chair
man of the house committee on ap-
preparations, the penalty of his re-
manning in the weights department
being Jimmy's consequent disregard
of the secretary Of states demands
for the coming biennial cash allow
ance.
Davis wrath is alleged to have
been aroused by a dismissal of rel
ative of his, or particular friend, who
was given job by Howell, got into
Rinehart's department and came to
grief because of alleged Incompatible
ity with the kind of state employ
ment offered him. The rupture was
the cause of a dramatic scene between
Jimmy and Howell. but the secretary
of state then stood pat. Now, Rine-
hart declares, Howell has been made
to see things differently. with Jimmy
holding a grip on the states purse
and firmly demanding the Rinehart
scalp ere he loosen the string for the
state department.
At any rate, Rinehart is out and
his job has gone to Bert 8. Snyder.
of North Yakima, who was next In
line in the departments. w. B. New
comb, Of Bellingham, succeeds to
Snyder's job.

STRONGER MORAL LAWS
Would Restrict DivOrce-AlSO Op-
poses Compulsory Military
Training in Schools.

Tightening of divorce restrictions,
making desertion of a child by either
parent felony, and asking the es-
tablishment of a state institution for
the feeble-minded on the West Side
are among the legislative recommen-
dations made by the Washington
Conference for Social Welfare in ses-
sion this week at the Chamber of
Commerce.
The divorce committee report as
adopted by the conference would re-
move personal indignities as a suffi-
cient cause for legal separation and
remove the courts power to grant a
decree for any unspecified cause he
may deem sufficient.
Another report asks a law making
a proved father responsible for sup
port of an illegitimate child and the
mother A court of domestic rela-
tions is asked in connection with the
juvenile court.
The educational committee of the
society recommended physical train
ing in the public schools in prefer
ence to compulsory military training,
as provided for in bills pending be-
fore the legislature, and also favored
raising the compulsory school at
tendance age from Is to 16.
The conference ended Wednesday
evening.

ordinate Grange in the county except

tinue his work for these govern
mental activities.
Master Kegley discussed various
legislative matters In his address.
calling attention particularly to the
bill recently introduced by Senator
Poindexter abolishing the railroad
tariffs that have figured in the inter-
mountain rate cases and making the
rates on shipments from the East to
interior points less than terminal
rates on the Sound, instead of greater.

by water would keep terminal freight
rates low.

the various marketing bills intro
0uced at this session are not satisfac-
tory, but that a bill is being drafted
or introduction in a short time, which
Eill conform closely to the Idaho plan.
