A PATRIOTIC MEETING.
Three Speakers Thrill Audience Tell Of
Experience In Organizing Councils
and Raising Money

The patriotic meeting on Fri.
day evening of last week, held in
the Presbyterian church, was
well attended in spite of the fact
that it did not receive wide pub
licity on account of the non
delivery by mail boat of the
package of The Record for Route
4, Portage.
Col. Howard Hanson of Seattle
was the first speaker and his adj
dress was well received. He is a
rising young attorney and he
fairly radiated loyalty and en-
Unused his audience from the be-
ginning to the close of his re-
marks. He impressed the fact
upon his hearers that WE are in
this war.
Hugo Kelley, editor OF the
Renton Herald, was the next
speaker. MIR. Kelley has attain
ed prominence because of his
ability as a platform speaker and
the active part he has taken in
organizing councils of defense in
the county and raising money to
prosecute the work. He empha-
sized the necessity of every com
munity being organized in order
to assist the Red Cross, the boys
at the front and to push the Lib
erty Loan drives. He spoke of
the work being done in his own
town and in the other mining dis
tricts where the workmen have
pledged a percentage of their
wages TO the cause. Mr.. Kelley
stated that the person who re-
fused to subscribe to any of the
wars demands was at once under
suspicion. BE urged parents and
friends to keep the soldier boys
Informed on the activities at
home: that a letter from home is
the greatest agency in the world
to keep the soldier in good spir-
its. He admonished the young
ladies that it was time wasted to
embroider their initials on ar
ticles intended for soldier.
Capt. Frederick Fl. Holt, a
young man who has seen service
in France and was invalided
home, made a few remarks, but
on account of his physical break
down he was very brief.
AS a result of the eloquent ad.
dresses over fifty names were
added to the membership roll of
the Vashon Council of Patriotic
Service under whose auspices the
meeting was held. And new
names are being added.
A similar meeting is planned
for Friday evening, April %.

ers' Hands.

The following telegram was
received today from Mr.. Hoover:
In order that we may comply
with the urgent demands of the
Allies for wheat and, at the same
time, take care of our own dom
este supplies, we urgently need
this year an earlier and more
complete marketing of the wheat
in farmers hands than usual.
The Alllss are taking from US
f. fty per cent of other cereals
than wheat to mix in their bread.
lnasmuch as the people in allied
countries, and the soldiers, must
be fed with bread baked in
bakeries, it is impossible for
them TO prepare bread made
wholly cut of other cereals and
We must furnish them with suf.
fiicient wheat to maintain their
bakery loaf. ], therefore appeal
to all OF the farmers in the
State of Kentucky that they
shall bring all Of their wheat
except their necessary reserves
for seed. to market before May
lst. This is a war call and a
service for Uncle Sam who is
fighting for his life. If your
local miller is unable to buy all
the wheat that 10 offered, market
It in the other customary trade
channels through which it will
reach the Food Administration
Corporation"
Please publish this in the news
paper and appeal to all patriotic
farmers to heed Mr.. Hoover's
suggestion.

INSURANCE RAT.
ING BOARD KILLED
la State Offices Abolished Passed
By The Senate. Forced To
Warn Against Radicalism.

Frankfort. n.y., Marcn ~. -
Democrats and republicans join
ed hands in the senate today and
passed bills abolishing Offices
affecting ia office holders.
These bills were prepared by the
probe committee and originally
abolished the offices at the end
of this administration. As soon
as the bills were introduced
sentiment began to develop to
abolish the offices at once If they
were determined to be useless
and in this the republicans and
democrats were unanimous.
Practically all Of the bills were
passed without opposition.
Taking advantage of the oc-
casion, the minority party in
several instances, tried TO outdo
the democrats by reducing sal.
aries Of the officers incorporated
in the bills passed. Conserva.
tive democrats who have had ex.
perience in state affairs advised
against too radical measures.
The largest reduction in the
Offices contemplated in the bills
was the abolishment OF the in.
surance rating board. This bill
affects N. o. Gray and II H.
Colyer, members OF the board.
and Eli H. Brown. Jr.. attorney
for the rating board.
The senate did not consider
the bill TO abolish the office of the
assistant attorney general. but
introduced q joint resolution.
which was adopted, calling on
Gov. Stanley to terminate this
Office June 30 and directing the
state auditor to discontinue his
salary at that time. The action
was taken because there is no
statute providing for such an
Office.
Other officials affected by the
bills passed are j. E. Barton.
state forester; ]. B. Hoeing.
state geologist; Thomas F. Byars
automobile commissioner; Brent
Greene. supervisor Of revenue
agents: Marion Pogue. inspector
and examiner Of school. keeper
of Confederate records: Tom
Hatcher. Henry Hines ard Her.
bert Carr, members Of the board
OF prison commissioners, Robert
A. Cook, J. F. Butts, B. A.
Dixon. John A. Burton. mem.
bers of the board Of control, and
all Of the employees in the var
ious departments.
The Confederate pension com.
missioner is to take over the
work of the compiler Of Confed.
crate records without additional
compensation.
The revenue agents and the
motor vehicles department are
taken over by the state tax com.
mission without any additional
allowance.
Besides these reforms, an
efficiency board is created to con-
tinue the work begun by the
probe committee. Safeguards
for the protection of the treasury
are thrown around claims for ex.
pense accounts and the printing
commission Is given powers to
supervise the work ordered by
state departments.
The fire Of the officials was
centered tonight on the members
Of the house of representatives,
and all Of the political pressure
at their command was brought
t(oear to get the bills amended
to become effective at the ex.
piration Of the terms Of the ap.
