WHEN PEOPLE SLEEP
THE POLITICIANS PROFIT

But for the activities of the Joint
legislative committee, representing
the farmers and laboring men, all the
progress of the state up to 1912
would have been wiped out in the
last five years.
But the farmers and workers are
not satisfied. They have done
wonderful things in working together
they have prevented the Big In
terests from furthering their control
over the state.
But this is not enough. Something
affirmative must be done-something
to put the people really in the saddle.
The members of the joint legislative
committee themselves realize this.
when we organized" said Miss
Lucy R. Case, secretary of the COM
mittee, to the writer the other day,
I'VE did not expect to have to use
the initiative and referendum as we
have. We thought it would be
enough to keep them like the gun be-
hind the door. We thought the threat
would be enough to get the workers
and farmers fair treatment"
But the farmers and workers see
now that it is not enough merely to
have an organization and to ask poll
| ticians elected by Big Business to
pass laws favorable to the people.
Having the Initiative and referendum
helps-it enables the people to block
bad laws-it gives them a chance to
make piecemeal progress. after hard
fights, provided always that the peo-
pie are not fooled by a press con-
trolled by Big Business, the case in
Washington in 1914.
But the best way of all is for the
farmers and labor men to elect their

PEOPLE "COME BACK"
AND HIT THE GANG

The old gangsters knew that the
people would try to use the refer
endum to block these laws. To get
around this they tried new
dodge" attaching an emergency
clause" to each of these measures,
to put them into effect Immediately
so that no time would be left to file
referendums against them. But they
stepped on the governors toes by at
taching an "emergency clause" to a
bill designed to take patronage away
from him, he carried the case to the
supreme court and got five to four
decision which put stop to this
practice.
Things seemed pretty bad for the
joint legislative committee at this
time. The state looked like a total
loss, with no insurance, so far as the
people were concerned. But the
workers did not give up hope. They
got out referendum petitions against

and beat the workers and farmers in
the "seven sisters" campaign.
The members of the 1915 legisla-
ture beat anything that the old gang
in 1913 had been able to do. In 1913
they contented themselves with re-
fusing the demands Of the workers
for new laws; in 1915 they set out to
put aside the old laws. The initia-
tive, referendum and recall amend
ments to the constitution provided
that the legislature might enact addi-
tional laws to facilitate" the opera
tion of direct legislation. Under the
guise of facilitating" the initiative,
referendum and recall, the old gang
prepared and passed bills that would
prohibit petitions from being circu-
lated for signatures. The governor
vetoed these bills but they were re-
passed, with two-thirds votes in both
houses, over his veto.
A bill was passed to prevent the
port commission of Seattle from ex-
tending it's business sufficiently to
compete with private wharfs. The
governor signed this bill. Bills were
prepared to kill the direct primary,
the compensation act and the mini
mum wage act, but the old gangsters
did not quite have the nerve to pass
these. Another bill to make the ini-
tiative and referendum more difficult
required compulsory registration in
all country districts and made the
farmers travel 20 miles or more, in
many instances, to register. Often
they would find the registration Off
Ger gone when they got there. The
farmers were not allowed to sign
petitions until after they had reg
istered.

seven Of the worst bills that had been
passed by the legislature. They cir
ulated petitions and got the necessary
number of signatures.
The fisheries and lumber interests,
aided by the power interests, when
these seven referred measures came
up for vote at the 1916 election,
started the same campaign of mis-
representation that had been success
full in beating the "seven sisters" in
1914. But it didn't work. The peo-
pie could not be fooled twice in the
same way.
In the election of 1916 every one
of the seven measures, referred by
the joint legislative committee was
beaten by the people by tremendous
majority. OF 268,OOO people, men
and women, who voted on the refer
endum measures, the vote for them
averaged only about 70,0O0-the
vote against them averaged more
than 100000.
