GOVERNOR vET0ES ITEMS 1854, 450
IN OMNIBUS APPROPRIATION BILL
Files House Bill No. BIS With Secretary of State After
Eliminating All Sums Not Absolutely Necessary for
Support Of State Government During Biennum

a dairy building. He declared that If
the college had constructed a num-
be r of small dairy barns to serve
as models for the students of dairy
husbandry with the original appro-
priation of $17S,00O much more ben
eft would have resulted.
In the governors message with the
veto of the appropriation for the
Centralia Normal the governor says
"this appropriation was based upon
a one-tenth of mill levy as provid-
ed by the act of 1919; but in draft
ing the bill it was overlooked that the
tax ley was not made until 1921. In
fact there would only be $119,3OO
available in this fund during the
coming biennium whereas the appro-
priation was based upon the two
years revenue. If the capital outlay
is expended for the campus, which
think it should be, this will leave
only $4,000 for the school for two
years, a sum wholly insufficient to
maintain any kind of normal
school. Believing it best to allow
the fund to accumulate for the
further consideration of the legisla-
ture at its next session, the items
''for salaries and wages, S172,11O,"
and supplies, material and services,
$33,290, are vetoed"
Cannot Support Rival Fairs.
The 100000 appropriated for the
Royal Livestock Show vetoed for the
same reason that the Portland Live
stock show was stricken from the
supplementary budget that the
state can only afford $1,000 for
premiums for cattle at its own state
fair. it should not spend larger sums
on rival fairs.
A doubt as to whether the Pacific
Northwest Tourists Association real
ly performs a state function was ex-
pressed by the governor. The gov
ernor concludes in any event the
time is not opportune nor conditions
such as to justify expanding $4,000
in soliciting tourist travel through
the association.

company to be engaged in a legiti-
mate business Of selling stocks or
| bonds or other securities with some
real or tangible value.
SHOULD this law become effective
and these certificates be issued,
which undoubtedly they would be.
within so days every mining and oil
broker, promoter or Spectator,
operating in the state, would have
photographed copies of the certificate
issued as to his particular company,
which would be used as an argument
in selling The stock and would be
worth much more to such companies,
no matter how INSCRIPTIONS they
might be, than all the paid advertis-
ing they could procure in every daily
paper in the state.
This is obnoxious for the reason
that provision is made in section 10
of the bill that before the secretary
Of state shall issue certificates to
other companies other than mining
or oil companies, he must make an
investigation of the proposed plan
of business Of the applicant and de-
termine that it is just and equitable
and that the securities which 1t pro-
poses to issue and the methods to be
used by it in issuing and disposing
Of the same are not such as will work
fraud upon the purchaser. Au-
thority is also vested in the secretary
of state with reference to other cor
porations whereby he may, If he
deem the proposed plan of business
unjust and inequitable, deny the ap-
plication or permit and thereby pro-
tect the public against INSCRIPTIONS
promoters and spectators.
1.-THE House and Senate have said
there should be appropriated the sum
of $13,500 to carry out the provisions
of this act, and believing as do that
the results of the act would be as
above indicated, could not approve

HIGH SCHOOL
SENIORS ENTER
PYTHIAN CONTEST
Purpose Is to Instill Love Of Country
and knowledge Of American
History

Every senior in the United States
history and civics classes of Olympia
high school entered a citizenship
contest the first of this month. the
competitive test is being conducted
under the auspices of the local chap
ter of the knights of Pythias.
The purpose of the contest, ac-
cording to Mr.. Gerwick, is to instill
in the minds of the students love Of
country and a knowledge Of Amerl-
can history and civics which would
furnish adequate background for
American ideals.
Contests Are Widespread.
These contests are widespread
over the United States. and are held
in every high school which measures
up to the requirements. In most
cases essays will be used. but as this
works hardships and really does not
accomplih the ultimate purpose, Mr.
Gerwick arranged to base the contest
on scholarship achieved In American
history and civics.
American citizenship" main
tanned Mr.. Gerwick, means not only
the scholastic ability along the lines
suggested above, but means ones at.
titude toward school life in general:
toward members of the class; toward
cooperation with. teachers, and all
other things basic to citizenship"
Rewards Are Three Medals
The rewards are to be three med
als-solid gold, sterling silver and
bronze, valued at $25. Each medal
will be suitably engraved with the
name of the winner, insignia, and in
each case, first, second, or third
award.
"a medal" continued Mr.. Gerwicl.
SIS much better than mere money, in
that it is something to be kept and
priced always"
Mr.. Gerwick will keep careful
grading of each student from March
until the end of the term Tho
progress made by students will be
considered irrespective of his pre-
vious standing.
At the close of the year, commit
tee of three. including Mr.. Gerwick,
will select from q group of highest
grades the highest, second highest
and third highest.
These medals will probably be
awarded as a part Of the commence
ment exercises.
II the contest had been an ESSAY
contest, a very small percentage OF
the class would have entered, where
as now every member Is trying to
raise his grade.

PIONEER WOMAN
DIES At: MONROE
Mrs. Margaret Shaser Sue
Cumbs to Illness at Her
Daughters Home
WAS BORN In APRIL 1882
Settled Two Years Later on
Nisqually Claim.

Mrs. Margaret Shaser, one of the
early pioneers of Western Washing
ton, died at the home Of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. w. Bolengaugh, at Mon
roe, Washington. Thursday, March
II, at midnight, after an illness of
about one month.
Margaret Packwood Shaser was
born in Indiana, April 2S, 1882. She
removed with her parents to Mis-
souri, when she was years or age.
She came west in 1S45 to Oregon, and
two years later came to Washington,
locating on donation claim in the
NisQually valley.
She was married at Independence
Rock, on the plains, in what is now
Wyoming, to George w. Shaser, in
1845. They lived together until his
death, about 81 years ago.
The following account Of the jour-
ney west was written by her own
hand about eight years ago for her
son, Scott Shaser, to read before the
Pioneers meeting:
II crossed the Great Plains to Ore
gon in 1S45. When we got to The
Dalles, Oregon, we found missiona-
ries living there, and we camped in
their midst three weeks, rested our
cattle and ourselves. AS soon as we
could rest the cattle enough we
started them across the mountains
on the Barlow road, to the William
etts valley.

BLUE-SM LAW GETS
EXECUTIVE VETO
Governor Objects to Section
Exempting Oil and Min
ing Stocks
GIVES STRONG REASONS
Obnoxious Provision, He Claims,
Would Be Capitalized by
Stock Promoters

Substitute Senate Bill No. 8, bet
ter known as the "blue sky" law, was
vetoed yesterday by Governor Hart.
The governors veto measure, which
is the longest to accompany any veto
this session, follows:
"Blue-sky laws of this character
are intended to regulate the sale Of
stocks, bonds mad other securities
and the manner of advertising and
soliciting for the sale of such issue.
Perhaps the most widely sold stocks,
bonds and securities of any corpora
tion in this state, by both domestic
and foreign corporations are those
of mining and oil companies. There
is perhaps no class of stocks and Sc
curities sold in this state in which
there is as much opportunity for
fraud as IL. that class of stock. Mil
lions Of dollars are taken from this
state annually by wildcat" oil and
mining companies in other states and
If there is need for regulation in any
instance, there certainly is in this
particular one.
From careful reading Of this bill,
it will be found that all foreign and
domestic companies engaged in min
ing and development of gas and Oil
lands are excluded from the pro-
visions Of this act, applying to all
other classes of corporations herein
named. and specific provision Is con-
tanned in section of the bill requir-
ing the secretary of state. without
any investigation, or without exer-
else Of any discretion, to issue to any
mining or oil company, foreign or do
nestle, applying therefor, certifi
cate authorizing such companies to
sell their shares within the state of
Washington.
Finds Provision Obnoxious.
ut would be difficult to imagine
more serious or obnoxious provision
than this. The purpose of laws of
this kind is, among other things, to
protect the uniformed or perhaps
ignorant investor. yet by this pro-
vision the doors have been opened to
fraud, for should such certificates be
issued under the signature and seal
of an officer of the state of Wash
ington authorizing the sale of such
stock, what more natural superstition
would there be in the mind of the
| investor than this officer knew the

foot of the Cascades falls, where lots
of people were camped, waiting for
boat to take them on down the
river. the boat came in d day or two
and it was a large scow, something
like an open ferryboat. They Piled in
the bottom abo it 20 wagons and
put the plumber on top of them, then
they put the people on top, about
so persons, and we started down the
river. We got along tolerable we'll
till we got nearly down to a place
called Cape Horn. The wind was
blowing gale ana the boatmen could
not land the boat. So they made the
boat fast to some rocks and carried
all the people ashore, with their plum
der, and we were wet and cold and
some were sick, and it was midnight
by the time we got warmed again.
We stayed there till the wind
stopped blowing.
"Our next stop was at Vancouver
We stayed all night there. The next
day we got to place called Linton,
few miles above Portland, as there
was no Portland then. At Linton
everybody left the scow, to look for
their new homes in Oregon.
my parents went up the Villa
mette river to Oregon City, and from
there to about four miles above the
mouth of the Yamhill river. and there
we stayed in big log cabin, and
lived on boiled wheat and peas. We
had no sugar, nor any salt or meat,
most of the time. In February,
1916, we moved up about 20 miles
above where Salem. Oregon, now is.
"My father took up claim, and
my husband took up claim, and we
built our houses and then they plow-
ed and planted some potatoes: then
they made rails to fence their crops.
The Indians then came and told us
to quit cutting timber, and we had
to leave there till the Indians left.
We stayed away six weeks, and when
we went back we found people living
in my fathers cabin. There is where
the Crabtrees settled.
"In the spring of 1S47 we all
moved over on this side of the Co.
lumbia river. The Cowlitz river be-
ing high we women and children had
to walk up the Cowlitz river, so we
carried our babies up the river. l
carried my baby squaw fashion. We
camped at the Cowlitz that summer.
My husband got job cutting wood
for a farmer, Mr.. Plomondo, and he
worked in the harvest fields.
"In September we moved over to
the Chehalis, near where the state
training school now is, and where
the Indians killed the missionaries,
Mr.. Brewer and Mr.. Walker, and
lot Of immigrants at The Dalles, Ore
gon.
"In February. 1S47 we moved over
to the Nisqually river. There we
found uncle William Packwood and

 JACK REITER

Jack Rcitcr. q well known miner.
 prospector and fisherman of this dis
 trict. was drowned off his launch at
 Hobo bay the forepart of last week,

 from the boat to the shore. MT. Ref ] ter at the time of his death had been arranging to go into the fox raising business with Wm. schmidt, of this
 city. and had just returned from Squir- . rel Island. where he had been at work
 on his buildings.
 Ralph CRats) Whittier was on shore
 at the time Mir Reiter was drowned
 and states that Jack went out to the
 boat to remove some feed from the boat to the shore It is surmised that 1 he overturned the dinghy as he was l stepping from one boat to another,
 and that the water was too cold for
 him to hang onto the bottom of the boat
 Wintler who lives on the beach, heard Reiter calling for help, ana
 going to the waters edge saw Reiter
 on the overturned boat, drifting away from the shore. He asked him why
 he did not paddle in on the boat and Reiter replied that he was all in It being quite dark at the time Wintler states that he could not see whether Reither dropped off the boat or not, but that he ceased calling and the supposition is that he did.
