Reaction or Direct Appeal?

Reaction or Direct Appeal?
1TN another column of this
issue there is published a
communication from Elmer Hal
vorson in which he follows up
one of our recent editorials by
asking who won for the state of
Washington a well earned repu-
tation as one of the most sanely
progressive states, the forces of
reaction, or every direct appeal
to the people? Mr.. Halvorson
asks the question but does not
answer it.
The editorial in question was
our comment upon an editorial
in the Yakima Valley American
which lamented that for years
the political machinery of the
two old parties of this state, and
consequently the government,
had been under the control of
the forces of reaction and follow
ed the lament with the statement
that Washington enjoys the
"well-earned reputation as one of
the most sanely progressive
states" AS evidence of sane
progress the American points to
the workmen's compensation act,
the direct primary, the initia-
tive and referendum and mini
mum wage for women.
Now, we wish to ask Mr.. Hal
vorson, if the two old parties in
this state had been controlled by
the forces of reaction, if the men
who have been elected to Office
have been gang-ridden and boss
controlled, if the legislature has
been dominated and dictated to
by Centralized wealth." how in
the name of heaven did these
"sanely progressive" laws ever
get on the statute books and
these ;",sanely progressive"
amendments ever get into the
constitution?
The direct primary law. Where
did it come from? 1t was enact
ed by the state legislature in
1907, four years before the peo-
pie of the state were given the
right of initiative. IF the MEM
bers of that legislature, who
were elected as republicans or
democrats, were the servile tools
of the forces of reaction who con-
trolled the machinery of the two
old parties, why. did they pass a
law the purposes of which was to
prevent the control of the states
politics by any boss or set of
bosses? If we charge the forces
of reaction with control of our
political machinery, we must
credit to them the direct primary
law.
The workman's. compensation
law was enacted by the 1911 leg
islature and it was this same leg
islature which voted to amend
the state constitution to provide
for the initiative and referen-
dunn. Was this legislature con-
trolled by the forces Of reaction ?
If so, then to these same forces
of reaction must be given the
credit for the workmen's conf
pensation act, the initiative and
referendum. 1t is true, perhaps.
that these successive steps in
"sane progress" were not taken
until there had arisen a popular
sentiment for them. In other
words, the legislature. of this
state, whatever may have Keen
it's other shortcomings, has be.n
responsive to the demands of the
people,. And herein is to be
found the essence of the Ameri-
can plan Of democratic govern
ment-a representative govern
ment in which the chosen repre-
sentatives are responsive to the
just, and reasonable demands Of
the people, a government in
which the representatives are
chosen by means Of political
parties, based upon political

Wednesday,
Here's one of the not-numerous
pretty women of the screen who can
act. She makes much of the wide OPP
portunity presented her in the play
of portraying a daughter Of the UNDER |
world suddenly pitchforked into the
exclusive New York society. Every
phase of the transition is wonderfully |
handled. See Norma Talmadge in ga

THE RETAIL MERCHANT AND PRICES.

Our merchants, like those all over the country, have beer
putting on cut-prlce sales for the past two and a half months
They are men of integrity and can be relied upon to live up to
what they say about any matter. They are men of known vera.
city and their word about any matter, almost, is accepted with
out question. Nevertheless, a great many of the buying public
seriously question the sincerity of many of the prices at which
goods are being sold. The merchants, like almost everybody
else, have been much at sea during the past eighteen months.
They have experienced a business suspense that would be hard
for anybody else outside of a merchant to understand. The re-
tail merchant bought because the public demanded the goods,
yet there has been a sort of "heavy hangs over your head"
lest the market slumped and they be left with goods that they
purchased at high prices, on hand.
We have all "fussed" more or less at our local merchants
about prices. We suppose much of this has been done because
we felt that we had to complain at somebody and the retail
merchant was closest by, and, like the man who felt that he
must swat somebody for stepping on his toes, we hit the one
nearest.
But the merchant has had his troubles and, like the farmer,
ne had money last year, but has caught t in the neck this fall.
1t IS difficult oftentimes for us to see things Alright until they
are past and we get an opportunity to reflect, so it is that we
feel sure that most of us will soon be ready to say that while
many OF US may have complained at the local merchant, we now
reallze that at least a Large part of our grievances were inagi-
nary, and that had we been in their places, we would have done
about what they did.
These observations force the conclusion that the prices that
are beng made on much merchandise now are below cost prices
