The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1921-02-17

- HE esteemed Spokesman-Review
makes spectacle of itself when
it says that the investigation of the
State Reclamation board petered out
because things were getting too warm
for the board. The reason the inves-
tigation came to nothing was simply
that the Review was asked to reduce
its charges to writing, and failed and
refused to comply with the request.
Our valued contemporary had assalled
the board with limitations and insin-
uations. It brought on an investiga-
ton. The legislature was perfectly
willing to go into the matter. When
the showdown came the newspaper
could produce nothing. 1t had no def
mite charges of misrepresentation,
misfeasance or maladministration to
bring against the board. 1t says the
legislature didn't want to investigate
the board. It's own columns were not
hedged about, and yet it has not
brought forward single definite
charge of any consequence there. If
it has any such thing in stock why
doesn't it come forward and make a
showing? The State Reclamation
board is an excrescence and super
fluffy, and it ought to be wound up
and sent to the discard; but that is not
because it has done anything wrong
but because the states reclamation
policy, of which it is part, is a flu
tile attempt to do something the state
can't afford to do. Why doesn't the
Spokesman-Review be fair and make
it's attack on a faulty policy instead of
board which has done the best 1T
could Yakima Republic.

THE SPOILS

| ~HE republican state centra
ILL., )committee is calling upon Gov
ernor Hart and other elective officials
to kick all democrats out of subordl'
nate appointive offices and replace
them with republicans.
The Courier Reporter sincerely
hopes the governor will have the hard.
ihood, and good sense to tell those
central committeeman to jump in the
lake. The editor of this paper has
always been a republican and in his
small way has worked for the sue
cess of the republican party in this
state. Our small efforts, however,
have not been extended in the hope or
expectation of political reward and
favors for ourselves or our friends,
and we have but little time for the in
dividual whose prediction enthusiasm
is but the forerunner of post-election
rewards. .- ~. ~. III.
It will be recalled that during the
campaign that the same republican
leaders who are now clamoring for a
division of the spoils were proclaiming
the fact that the fight was not against
the democrats but against the radi
Gals. In issuing the call for last
weeks meeting Of the state committee
Chairman Hebberd emphasized that
the fight against the radicals is not
over and urged the waging of a year
around campaign.
One of the reasons why the fight is
against the radicals, so-called, is that
there has been too much of that brand
of petty partisanship which the state
committee is calling upon the elective
officials to play.
The offices which the central COM
mittee wants filled with republicans
were created as necessary parts of
the states governmental machinery
and not for the especial benefit of
certain individuals who have edged
their way into the higher councils of
the party in power. The way for the
republican party to beat the radicals
and keep them beaten is to give the
people good and efficient government
by placing in responsible positions men
chosen for their fitness rather than
for their political affiliations.
