WORDS OF WISDOM FROM
FEMININE LEGISLATOR
Especial Correspondence J

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 16.-Mrs.
Ina P Williams, "the lady from Yak
ina County," representing Legisla-
tive District No. 20 in the fifteenth
legislative session, says: "Instead of
in blissful ignorance stating, 4 do
not believe in labor unions,' we should
find out what the causes are that have
brought about the unrest and the agi-
taton for changed conditions" Mrs.
Williams is going about her legisla-
tive duties very earnestly. She has
a very keen insight into things, is
possessed of practical mind, and
from a public speech that she made
few days ago it is not difficult TO
forecast where she will line up on mat
ters of legislation. 1t is not likely
that such a woman will be found op-
posing the broad, constructive pro-
gram of legislation proposed by organ
lied labor. Here are some of the
things she said:
I'VE are living in a revolutionary
period, both socially and commercially.
A new sort of statecraft is needed
to cope with the problems of such
an era. We can no longer simply use
the legislative taboo and get results.
We must get to the bottom of things,

PROPOSED COMPULSORY
MILITARY TRAINING
LAW INTRODUCED
Especial Correspondence

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 16.-Com-
pulsory military training in the high
schools of the state is the purpose of
a bill introduced in the Washington
State Legislature by Representative
Victor Zednick. The full text of the
bill follows:
"Section l. Beginning with the fall
term of school next ensuing there
shall be established in each high
school in the State of Washington in
which the enrolment numbers SO or
more male pupils, course of mill
tary training and course of trained
nursing and domestic hygiene, Two
hours at least each week shall be
devoted to such courses. Every
physically fit male pupil shall take
the course of military training, and
every female pupil in such high school
shall take the course in trained nurs-
ing and domestic hygiene.
"Sec. 2. Instructors for such
courses shall be employed in the same
manner and by the same school au-
thorities as are all other teachers in
the public schools of the State of
Washington.
"Sec. 8. The necessary cost for the
conduct of such courses shall be paid
in like manner as is that of all other
courses in the common schools of the
State of Washington.
"Sec. A. The State Board of Educa-
ton shall prescribe the courses of
military training, which courses shall
be approved by the adjutant general
of the state. The instructors in mill
tary training shall at all times during
their services hold a certificate as
to qualifications and fitness from the
adjutant general. The adjutant gen.
eral or duly appointed supervising
instructor shall direct the instruction
in such courses.
"Sec. 5. The State Board of Educa-
tion shall prescribe the courses of
trained nursing and domestic hygiene

minds of America were appearing be-
fore the Senate committee on military
affairs at the national capitol in OPP
position to any such compulsory mill
tary training. At this hearing physi-
clans and physical educators, headed
by DR.. James Warbasse of New York,
assailed particularly the suggestion
that physical benefit would be derived
from military training in the schools.
They were followed by a delegation
of college men under the leadership
Of Max Eastman, formerly Of Colum-
bia University. At the outset these
men made it clear that they were not
opposed to building up an adequate
army and navy, but confined their ar
guments specifically against any pro-
posal for universal service.
The Psychological Effects.
Mr.. Eastman, a student of psychol-
ogy, declared the psychology of mill
tary training is opposed to every edu-
cational theory of American democ-
racy, and that the enactment Of COM
pulsory military training legislation
would be the greatest step backward
the nation ever has taken.
The sole purpose of military train
ing, he said, was to train out of man
his individual initiative and to cult
vate the instinct of submission. He
argued that adequate payment would
bring all the soldiers the country
needed.
The present agitation for military
training, Mr.. Eastman said, is only
the plea of aristocracy to sustain its
position. He satirized the pleasure
which he said the socially elect de-
rived from the fact that Vincent As
tor slept at Plattsburgh in the same
dog tent with his valet.
Things Military Not Liked.
Brent Allen of Harvard declared
that transcription of people to kill
without having anything to say as to
whether we go to war is monstrous." !"
He added that he hated everything
military, though he was a member of
the Harvard battalion.
Columbia men who went to Platts-
burg, said Edward M. Early of Co.
lumbia, returned filled with the idea
that war is certain, and were not open
to discussion of the subject.
Robert Dunn, editor of the Yale
Courant, took a similar view.
"This question of Defense" said
Dunn, 'is overworked in the discus
sion of preparations" adding that the
inspirational addresses 'by army of
ficers and others at Plattsburg had
inculcated fatalistic ideas about war "

upon to do so, with respect to the
system or method of providing treat
ment and care, and costs, fees and
charges on account of the treatment
or care of injured workmen, and in
the establishment of rules and regu-
lations regarding such treatment and
care. Such medical advisory commit
tee shall consist of three physicians,
at least one of whom shall have rec
cognized skill in surgery, these three
physicians to be selected from six
nominees made by the State Medical
Society at the request of the com
mission. The members of such ad-
visory committee shall serve without

the extent of actual and necessary

the performance of said duty, which
expenses shall be paid out of the ad-

shall remain the advisory committee

commission being empowered to form

scribed shall not exceed in any one
school year in any school district an
amount in excess of So per capita of

The necessary books, appliances and
equipment shall be furnished by the

Bill Will Be Opposed.
This bill is certain to bring on a
hot fight by those who are opposed to
military training in the public schools.
Its friends will maintain that the bill
is intended to bring needed physical
framing TO the school pupils. Its OPP
ponents will contend that a better
system of physical training can be
carried on in the high schools without
the military features. Besides the bill
provides only for the physically fit
pupils, whereas it is the pupil who is
not physically fit who is in the great
est need of physical training, a train
ing that will make him physically
fit" AS for the course in TRAINED
nursing and domestic hygiene" fol
girls, that, too, can be introduced into
the schools without the necessity of a
law for compulsory military training

lature last week, some of the best

disturbances in labor, education and
society. Instead of in blissful ignor-
ance stating, 4 do not believe in labor
unions,' we should find out what the
causes are that have brought about
the unrest and agitation for changed
conditions.
Women, it seems to me, are pre-
pairing themselves for this type of in
telligent citizenship. Through their
clubs and organizations they are
studying all sorts of sociological and
industrial problems. In their charity
work they are learning the underly-
ing causes that have made for vicious
ness, poverty and crime. In their
effort to educate their children they
have learned that coercion and the
taboo do not work. They know that
humaneness lies at the bottom of all
things"
She drew these deductions from
Tammany Hall and one of its former
leaders:
"Tim Sullivan and others of his
kind, with their personal touch, their
human kindness, reach people that the
best intentioned reformers, sitting in
their clubs and debating low taxes and
orderly bookkeeping, could never get
to. Tim Sullivan's clambakes, his
christenings, his friendly help when
the pinch of want came, really showed
greater knowledge of what good
government ought to be to the people.
People should be able to expect just
such perternalism, but they can't at
present, and until the time comes
when the problems of poverty, human
needs and proper direction, both of
work and play, will be met by the
government, we must expect to have
our Tim Sullivans and Tammany
Halls.
"Women are more ready to break
away from forms of government. 1t
is results that women demand, and
if the law does not get the results
they wish, change the law so that it
will, is their idea of Legislation. This
element will make woman's voice in
government of added value. Woman
has always stood ready to fight for
what was her own dominion. The
home and her counsels are needed now
that the changes have brought the
home into politics.
"It has been impressed upon me
that legislation is largely a matter
Of compromise, but though l came
over to this legislature with the needs
of my own district deeply impressed
upon my heart, came without making
any promises Of the you help me and
I'll help you nature. That system
ought to be changed. 1t is not right
that, in order to bring about legisla-
ton that my district is deeply in need
of that should be forced to sell my
birthright- forced to vote for some
measure that seems wrong to me-"
