in memory that I had the chance
to associate and work with them.
| will just refer to the SyndiCal-
ism Bill, which was first passed over
the Governors veto. This vicious
measure was later repealed by this
same legislature by the enactment
of another bill which is far better,
although this also bears the stamp
of class hatred. We voted for it
because II repealed far worse meas
ure In enacting this second Syn
dicalism Bill the legislature then not
only approved the Governors veto
but also approved the stand taken by
few who formerly fought and vot-
ed against it. This was a meritor-
ious deed
The legislature enacted some good
roads legislation. 1t also prevented
bad Fish law from being enacted.
1t enacted what believe to be some
sood labor legislation.
The Legislature also enacted into
law a measure which the editor
is glad to stand sponsor to: namely,
the Powder Bill. This bill enables
the State to buy Powder in car load
lots and sell it for land clearing
purposes at cost, not even chafg-
ing anything for handling it. The
original was to have a State Pow
der Factory, but the opposition to
this was so strong that if we had
persisted in pressing it the whole
bill would have been killed; so we
did Just what the old saying is, we
took a half loaf when we couldn't
get a whole loaf. We acted on the
theory that something for the peo-
pie who want to clear land was bet
ter than nothing. If this does not
reduce the cost of powder so as to
make it worth while a State Powder
Factory will, | believe come later.
There were also some changes
and amendments made to our exist
ing laws which we believe were

DID HE DIE IN VAIN

In a letter to Homer S. Cum
mings, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, Edward DOGGY,
of Pittsfield, ILL.,, writes:
The country is for the League
of Nations or for some society or
force that will prevent repeti-
ton of the late World War. | had
two sons in the war-one of them,
boy of 23, who made the supreme
sacrifice at st. Mihiel on September
70, 1918. He was first lieutenant
of Company NJ, 16Sth Infantry. If
he could visit this earth and hear
the little, contemplate, narrow
speeches of certain United States
Senators, he would exclaim, i have
died in vain. -

Destitute Mothers Bill

Senate Bill No. 26 amends the
Mothers Pension Act to include
ALL destitute mothers. Moth
ers' Pension Fund. The en-
Iactment of this measure was brought
about chiefly through the efforts of
the lobby maintained at Olympia by
the Firemen's Unions of the State,
with the assistance of your own
labor lobby.
Appropriation of over $4,000
900 for adequate road construction
work and over $4,000,OOO for pub
lie buildings were made. Part of
our Labor Reconstruction Program
demanded that all this work pos
sible should be undertaken imme-
diately.
This is a total of fifteen bills
that we were directly interested
in that passed. 1t is the greatest
accomplishment ever made at any
one session, and yet lacks a
great deal of representing all
that labor desired. The state
of public mind created as
a result of the unfavorable publicity
given the genearl strike at Seattle
and Tacoma made the task doubly
difficult. When those and other
obstacles are taken into considera-
ton the foregoing bills represent
considerable accomplishment, but
victory as great, if not greater,
than that, was defeating the flood Of
measures inimical to our interests,
many of which would have been en-
acted but for the vigorous and per-
sistent efforts of your lobby.
These bills will be covered in a
subsequent article, as well as list
of the bills that We were interested
in that failed of passage.
My final report to the Federation
Convention in June will cover this
subject fully.

Mine Code Amendments

House Bill No. PA makes a few
minor amendments to the Mining
Code, chief of which is "in the case
the operation of the ventilating fan
is stopped at gaseous mine because
of the suspension of the operations
in the mine, the foreman shall not
allow the men employed therein
to enter the mine until the ventil-
alton has been restored by operation
of the fan at least twelve hours
and the mine has been thoroughly
examined by him, or by an assis-
tant mine foreman or fire boss,
and reported safe
1t also provides an increase in
salary for the Deputy Mine lnspec-
tor.

SOME THINGS CONCERN
ING THE LEGISLATURE

Peter Iverson, Kitsap County's
Progressive Senator, prints the fol-
lowing editorial in his paper, the
Kitsap County Herald:
The Herald editor is now back
to his usual work in the Herald
office. After two months of siren
uous work at the capital it seems
nice to be back on the job again.
The questions the editor has to
answer quite frequently are: How
did you like the legislature?" and
what good did you do at Olympia?"
AS to the first question something
springs up in the mind as to what
Josiah Aliens Wife" said when
friends inquired about her health.
Her answer was II have been en-
joyin' poor health for several years. ="
In one sense the editor enjoyed the
work although at times it
seemed like enjoying poor health
Our government is based on the
principle of majority rule and as
long as that holds good under pro-
per privileges, and as long as that
is carried out faithfully, none of us
have any reason to shirk, but should
simply go ahead and do our duty the
best we konw how. 1t is absolute
foolishness to kick on the legisla-
ture if it does not enact laws to
suit us. We can settle down to the
fact that the representatives in the
legislature are every bit as good as
the majority that sent them; in
fact, usually little better. There
are, of course, exceptions. Some
times persons slip in that never
should have been sent, considered
from any point of view.
The real responsibility for poor
legislation rests with the voters. If
a legislator is ordered to by any
means get his hands into the pork
barrel" and bring back the pork, +"
that will be the main object of his
work and to accomplish this he must
vote with the machine and for vi
cious measures. Remember, every
piece of pork brought back costs
some part of our citizens very dear
ly. 1t is bad practice and will in
time bring it's punishment 1t is
poor craftsmanship, but ii a con-
tituency is clamoring for it the leg
islator will endeavor to work for it,
The editor thoroughly enjoyed fight
ing against that kind of legislation,
that, of course, was like "enjoyin'
poor health" So much for the first
question.
AS to what good we did at Olym-
pia--Ah! there's the rub. firmly
believe we did some good. There
was large number of very good
men in the last legislature and it
will always stand as bright spot

HE GOT 1T BY HARD WORK

Misunderstanding what do you at
tribute your financial success, Mr..
Plute?"
Mr.. Plute-"To hard work.
Laborskate-"I've known you
more than forty years and | never
saw you work
Mr.. Plute-"Other fellows did
the hard work and | absorbed their
earnings"
MISUNDERSTANDING l do the
same?"
Mr.. Plute-"No, laborskates,
hayseeds and their ilk never get
what they earn
Suppose we who
work organize and keep our earn
ings.'
Mr.. Plute-"To do that you would
have to revolutionize social, econo-
mic and political conditions"
Laborskate-"Are present condi-
tions right"
Mr.. Plute-"They are satisIact-
DRY and we will not permit a change
which would prevent all good citi-
zens' acquiring all the wealth we
may absorb"
Well we will con-
tinue trying to evolutionize, and if
we can't make that work we will
revolutionize We will accept your
cooperation to do the former, and
we pity you if we are compelled to
do the latter.

Increased Salaries and Appropria'
tiolls

House Bill No. IS increases the
salary of the Labor Commissioner to
$4,000 per year and increases the
salary of the woman deputy from
$1,000 to $500 per year
This increase will not be drawn
by the Labor Commissioner himself
during his tenure of office, accord
ing to the provisions of the Consti-
tuition. However, it establishes a
proper salary for State Labor Com
missioner and the present incumbent
is taken care of by salary pro-
vided for other work, equivalent to
this increase, by the Accident Pre-
vention Bill.
An increase was secured in the
appropriation for the work of the
Labor Department of from $43,-
600 to $4,000, and an increase in
the appropriation for the Industrial
Welfare Commission of from $10,-
900 to 1000.

Criminal Carelessness

House Bill No. 70 was introduced
by Mr. Cotterill and defines Grim
ianl carelessness, and provides a
penalty for any workman who
knowingly does aything that would
injure another workman.

part of the legislature in reversing

menace Of the former act.

Small Claims Court Bill

Senate Bill No. 1875 is the Small
Claims Court Bill. This bill was
introduced by Judge Mrs. Beals of
the Justice Court of Seattle, and was
supported by your Labor lobby.
1t establishes a court where the
people of our State may have claims
disposed of involving sums less than
$40 and will protect large number
of migratory workers by enabling
them to collect wages that amount
to less than that sum, where a
lawyer could not be engaged to
protect case Involving such small
amount.
This is one Of the industrial evils
that the Labor Department of the
State has long contended with.
Substitute for Criminal Syndicalist
Bill
Senate Bill No. 236 is the bill that
repeats the Criminal Syndicalist Bill
which was vetoed at the instigation
of Labor by the Governor two years
ago, and passed over his veto by an
overwhelming majority in the ear
ly sessions of the present legislature
The old bill was too loosely
drawn and was dangerous. This
new bill defines the subject much
more clearly and does not establish
anything not thoroughly covered
by the Criminal Anarchy Code and
has this advantage-that it makes
it's provisions applicable to big bus
mess or others who would use force
to prevent industrial or political re-
form as we'll as making it applicable
to those who might use such meth
DDS to promote 1t. The bill provides
for the repeal of the former Crimi
nal Syndicalist Law.
This is a distinct victory as it
vindicates our former objections to
the other bill. 1t also yindicates the
Governor In vetoing the measure

RENEWED TESTIMONY

No one in Manchester who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Manchestre Center mans twice told
story. 1t is confirmed testimony that
no resident Of this locality can doubt.
James Kennedy, gardener, Manches-
ter Center, gave the following state
ment on June 3, 1911. He said: "For
years my back and kidneys bothered
me. The trouble became so bad at
times | could scarcely stoop or
straighten. Mornings, especially, my
back was lame, stiff and sore and
piercing pains shot through my loins.
My kidneys acted irregularly and the
secretions were unnatural. Doan's
Kidney Pills helped me from the very
first and finally Strengthened me out
in good shape. My back grew strong
and free from pain, my kidneys acted
regularly and my health improved
generally.

said: 81 can still say good word for
Doan's Kidney Pills. j get them at

relieve me when | have occasion to

MAGNOLIA IS TO
LAY PIPE LINES
VELMA DISTRICT

Ardmore, Okla, Dec. 19.-lt has
been definitely stated that the Mag
nolia Petroleum company will build
pipe line from the "a or Milroy
field, to the 2-5 or Velma country.
The Magnolia now has a 6-inch line
within about three miles of Milroy
and 4-inch line into that field The
6-inch line will be extended on to
Milroy and from there a 4-inch line
will be built to Velma.
The pipe has been ordered for this
construction work, but the work will
probably not be done until the early
spring. This will be cheerful news
to owners in the Velma district. A
number of wells are in that field and
drilling is being actively carried on
there The wells are small but they
are shallow and can be drilled quick
ly and that part of Stephens coun-
ty ought to give up vast amount oi
