AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT

The state reclamation board, in
session at Olympia Monday, directed
+. H. GlOyd, in charge of the land
settlement division of the board, to
begin a publicity campaign in favor
of the proposed constitutional
amendment granting right of emil
nent domain in acquiring land for
settlement purposes,
This important and beneficial
amendment will be on the ballot at
the election, November 2, as AN act
providing for the amendment of sec
ton 16, of article /, of the consti-
tuition of the state of Washington,
relating to eminent domain" 1t
should have the support of every
voter who is for the reclamation of
our arid lands.
Its purpose is to prevent specula-
tors and others from demanding un-
reasonable prices for lands needed in
reclamation projects 1t would add

to section 16 of the state constitu-
ton this helpful proviso:
Provided that the taking of
private property by the state for
land reclamation and settlement
purposes is hereby declared to
be for public use.
This does not mean that land
could be taken by the state without
the payment of fair compensation
1t simply would establish beyond all
question the right of the state to
buy lands under condemnation pro-
ceedings in the courts-a right now
held by railroad companies.
The proposed amendment Is APP
proved by the state reclamation
board, the Columbia Basin project
commission, the Washington State
Federation of Labor and many other
organizations.
1t is of especial Importance to the
Columbia Basin project. 1t is one
of two constitutional amendments to
be voted on in November. Vote yes
on it and aid the great work of re-
claiming our arid Spokane

lowing are IA good reasons for vot-
ing in favor OF this amendment;
/. The salaries of state elective
officers were fixed according to con
ditions of 1889, when the constitu-
ton was adopted, 81 years ago.
,. Statistics show that their du-
ties and responsibilities are now more
than five times as heavy as at that
time.
). Their salaries are lower than
60 less important appointive state
officials of Washington now receive.
4. Their pay is less than that of
the deputies of King county.
5. Their pay is less than that of
the subordinate officers of the city
OF Seattle.
6. Their pay is less than the state
officers Of 38 other states receive.
Z. Their pay is less than that of
school principals of many small cities.
s. Their salaries are worth only
so per cent of what they were even
four years ago.
8. The pay of all other trades
and professions has been advanced
from as to 200 per cent while that
of our state elective officers has re-
manned the same.
10. Since their jurisdiction is CO.
extensive to the entire state, and their
duties increase with the growth of
the state, their remuneration should
surely equal that of one of the sub
divisions.
II. The salaries of two of the
elective officers and the Supreme
Court are unlimited by the constitu-
ton and have already been raised to
take effect in 1921. This will serve
as discrimination against the other
seven, unless this amendment is rat
flied
Il. 1t is poor economy to hold
down the wages of the highest ad-
ministrative officers in the state.
10. Higher salaries will attract
better qualified men for the jobs.
IA. The total amount required is
SO small that no increase in the tax
levy will be necessary. Measured as
other taxes are, however, it repre-
sents about 10 thousands of one mill,
which amounts to a cent and half
for each thousand dollars of taxable
wealth or less than one cent per
capita each year.
1t is good business for the state
to pay it's employees salaries COM
mensurate with the responsibilities
entailed by and the ability required
for the efficient discharge of their
duties. 1t is but self evident fair
ness to equalize the old salaries to
the increased cost of living, and it
can be done at such a nominal eX-
pense to the taxpayers that no one
will be burdened
If an official should be worthy of
his hire, the hire should be worthy
of the ability required by the office
he holds.

tions as efficiently as possible in the
field prescribed for it by the act I'M
der which it was created.
Having for many years been a
now being a real dirt farmer, I am
particularly interested in the work
and welfare of the State College and,
should | become the chief executive
of the state, l pledge my earnest eff
forts to see that no legislation is
passed to impair it's growth or cir
cumscribe the scope of it's work as
now fixed by law. To my mind
money expended in training the
young men and women of the state
to work efficiently with their hands,
as we'll as with their brains, in the
production of the necessities of life
and in the solution of the problems of
production is one of the best invest
ments that the state can make, be-
cause it pays big dividends in good
citizenship.
while the state of Washington
has been in the past exceedingly lib
eral toward its educational institu-
lions the benefits that its citizens
have derived should impel them to
further liberal expenditures on be-
half of these institutions"

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN?

Have we forgotten how. when the
young men of the nation were called
to the colors, we pledged them our
loyal support and with tears in our
hearts assured them that we would
never forget the great sacrifice they
were making in our defense?
Have we forgotten how nobly
these young men acquitted them
selves and how cheerfully they en-
dured the hardships and dangers in
cident to service overseas or in the
training camps?
Have we forgotten how, when
they returned to their homes, hav-
ing faithfully performed their allot-
ed duties, we showered them with
congratulations and assurances of
our never ending gratitude for and
appreciation of what they had done
for us?
Ii we have not forgotten, the best
way of proving it is to go to the polls
on November and vote for Refer
endum Bill No, ,, which provides for
the payment of equalized compensa
ton to the veterans Of the war
against the allied central powers,
who were bona fide residents of the
state at the time of their entry into
the service.
This measure is often referred to
as the soldiers bonus bill, but this
is misnomer. 1t does not provide
tor bonus but aims to equalize in
a small measure, the difference be-
tween the $50 a month which the
great majority of the boys who en-
tered the service received while risk
ing their lives for their country, and
the high wages which they could
have earned, had they remained in
comparative comfort and safety at
home.
In brief, it provides for the pay
ment by the state to each veteran
the sum of SIS per month for each
month he was in the service, provid-
ed that he did not receive greater
compensation than thesregular pay
OF the Army, Navy or Marine Corps
In case of the death of any soldier
entitled to the compensation, the bill
provides that it shall be paid to his
surviving widow, ii not remarked
al the time compensation is request
ed, or in case he left no widow and
left children, then to his surviving
children, or in the event he left no
widow or children, then to his sur
viving parents or parent if actually
dependent upon such deceased serv-
ice man for support.
1t may be argued by some, who
are looking for an excuse to evade
their debt of gratitude, that,
If this compensation is paid,
much of it would be squan-
dered by the recipients. A
few of them might waste it in riot
Gus living, but the great majority
would put it to good use, in complet-
ing their education, in recouping
their business ventures, in adding to
the comfort of their homes or by
laying it aside for a rainy day. But
the obligation resting upon the re-
cipients to use the money wisely is
not nearly as binding as the obliga-
tion resting upon the people to vote
it cheerfully.
Talk is cheap and verbal promises
of support and expressions of graft
tude do not cost anything. The way
in which one votes on Referendum
Bill No. is the test of whether these
lip pledges were genuine or spurious.
