in the conduct Of his Government.
He sees that special interests and

SO intense is this feeling of dis
satisfaction with the existing situa
ton that Independent factions are
sprnging up everywhere Indepen-
dent local tickets are put up and are
being elected. The Committee of
Forty-eight, a national organization
of liberal-minded men and women
with headquarters at ! 5 East 40th
Street, New York, is taking an act
i've part in encouraging these indie
pendent political Tevolts and is
flooding the country with literature
urging the people to join in move
ment that has for it's ultimate aim
the holding of a great representa-
tive convention which shall COM
bine all opposition groups under a
single party name, with common
constructive platform and a strong
presidential ticket. The Commit
tee of Forty-eight, which has active
committees at work in nearly all of
the forty-eight States, is acting on
the principle that a divided oppo-
sition can get nowhere, and invites
the cooperation of every man and
woman who wants to protest
against the plutocratic tyranny that
now terrorizes and Expresses the
American people.

important of all. see that the House
and Senate Rules Committees are
under their domination.
Then the procedure at each SEES
sion is something like this: The
Legislature convenes for 60-day
session. These bosses manipulate
the program so that very little is
done for the first 80 or 40 days.
The Legislature adjourns over each
Saturday and Sunday during this
period, so is only in session five
days each week. Some trips are
made which take up a day now and
then. There are numerous social
affairs, and everybody is having
pleasant time Then about the 45th
day things begin to speed up. They
begin to hold night sessions. The
great bulk of the business is done
in the last ten days, with bills being
rushed through at such high speed
that sometimes a member who is
outside the inner circle" hardly
knows exactly what he is voting on.
But the inside organization"
knows, for they have had their pro-
gram secretly laid out for weeks.
The result is that more bills are
passed in the last five days than in
the first 80 days of the session. In
this grand rush the Special Privi-
lege crowd get their pet bills rushed
through so fast that they meet with
the minimum of objection, for dur
ing this period each member has
measures for his particular district
on his mind and is concentrating all
his sefforts to get them considered.
During this period the Rules Com
mittee get in their deadly work by
keeping good measures for the ben
eft of the people off the calendar
with the excuse that there is not
enough time 10 COuslueI lHeLu' Also
this is the time when the innocent
looking little 'jokers" are slipped
into bills under the guise of amend
ments. 1t is one of the favorite
Jokes of the Big Interests to let a
| bill go through whose general pur-
pose seems to be for the benefit of
the people, but after it becomes a
! law it is discovered that something
has been quietly slipped in that
makes it unconstitutional or there

HARMONY PREVAILS
IN RANKS OF REFORM

Now that the Triple Alliance and
Non-P Partisan League have reached
an harmonious agreement for this
years campaign, the outlook for
the progressive forces next fall is
considerably frightened. These
two organizations, together with
the American Federation of Labor
and the Committee of AS" will
soundly wallop the old political
parties in the November elections.
If they do not put the old machines
in the scrap-heap, they will so
cripple them as to render them
powerless for evil. Watch the
Quintuple Alliance grow.

TRIPLE ALLIANCE
WILL GIVE DANCES

The Snohomish County Triple Al
lance has planned series of Triple
Alliance dances to be held every
two weeks in the Hippodrome Hall
on Rockefeller. The first dance
will be given Friday night, May
14th.
The organization will undoubt-
eddy arrange many other social af-
fairs from now on, such as picnics,
musicales, luncheons and card
games, to go hand in hand with the
real work of organizing.
The women of the Gold Bar and
.Olney Precincts gave a dance the
middle of April which Melted them
a nice little sum of money, and a
very enjoyable social time, also.
They turned over to the County T..
A. some of the proceeds and re-
tanned a small portion for their
own treasury to defray the expenses
of their committeeman on their
trips to Everett in behalf of the Or
ganization. They wish to pass on
to the various precincts the idea of
social affairs as means of getting
acquainted and of raising money to
help finance the County organiza-
ton and the Precinct Organizations.

beauty of it, from their standpoint,
is that the Road fund is the teSSfes
money, so it doesn't cost Big Bust
ness a cent to use it as a club to
keep the country members in line.
In a general way, every past ses-
sion of the Legislature in recent
years has been run by an ''inside
crowd" who handled the program
for the special benefit of Big Bust
ness and all the people got was
few crumbs now and then to keep
them quiet. Now, let us for mo-
ment consider the Triple Alliance
people should elect Senators and
Representative from the ranks of
the producers, men and women who
are real workers, from the farms,
railroads and industries, and who
know from real experience the
problems and needs of the people.
If such candidates are not avail
able, then the people should support
candidates for the Legislature
whose past record shows them to be
absolutely and unequivocally in
sympathy with the needs of the
people. Suppose our next Legisla-
ture is composed of a majority of
such members, committees would be
appointed in both Houses with the
idea of serving the people as eXpe-
ditiously and efficiently as possible.
The Legislature would go to work
from the first day with the purpose
of fairly and conscientiously con-
Isidering every bill presented. Com
mittees would be forced to report
on every bill within ten days after
introduction. The absolute rule
would be that every bill favorably
reported by a committee would au
tomatically take it's place on the
calendar. Most important of all,
the rule should be that any bill
passing one House must be placed
before the other House for a final
vote as soon as possible and such a
bill should have the right of way
over all others. All committees
must be open to the public, and a
public record kept of their pro-
ceedings and roll calls.
With a Legislature composed of
| liberal, progressive members in &C.
cord with the basic principles of the
Triple Alliance, and program
such as we have suggested conscien-
tiously followed out, we would have
session that would result in ire
mendous benefits to the people Of
our State. The masses of the peo-
pie would know by the results that
their welfare was really considered
and much of the present unrest
would disappear. The people can
have their choice of the kind of a
Legislature we will have in 1921.
Either the people will be represent
ed by members in harmony with the
principles of the Triple Alliance,
coming from the ranks of the Farm
ers, Railroad Men and Workers in
Industry, or they will be misrepre-
sented and dominated by members
who are in harmony with another
Triple Alliance" which is COM
posed of the Profiteers, Tax Dodg-
ers and Industrial Autocrats. Which
Alliance do you want to have con-
troll of your law-making body? We
will either have one or the other.
The Big Business Interests are al
ready laying their plans to perpet-
uate their domination of the Leg
islature. Now is the time, and it is
your duty to join the Triple Alli-
ance of Farmers, Railwaymen and
Labor, and help emancipate this

ONE HUNDRED AND ONE

The News-Record man visited
this week with a woman who is
one hundred and one years old.
While our health giving and life
advancing climate here on the is
land hes much to do with the lon
gevity of this particular person,
it's not claimed as the only cause.
Mrs. D. Jaynes, of Burton, was
born August 9TH, 1919 in the state
of New York and has westward
moved number of times, until
she has at last reached our far
thermost state. She lives with her
daughter in a coy cottage which
nestles beneath the shade of some
native trees and which is fronted
and fringed with flowers of many
hues and bearing many names.
AS we opened the gate to her
home we noticed spry old lady
at work inside the house, for the
front door was open. When her
daughter introduced her to us as
cher Mother" we could hardly be-
lieve what our ears'h had heard and
our eyes had seen. She was at work
in the house as spry as many a
woman is at fifty. Mrs. Jaynes
