Will Hart Sign?

Governor Hart has a big prob
lem before him. He is being
heckled with pleadings from all
sides. Seattle, Tacoma and Spo-
kane are urging him to veto the
Poll Tax bill. Others are urging
him to sign it. Still others ask
the emergency" feature be
stricken out, that a "solemn re-
ferendum' of the people may be
taken-when it would be knocked
in the head. Many of the appro-
priatior bills are awaiting action
of the Governor. In our opinion
here is chance for Mr.. Hart to
surprise even his friends by show
ing strength enough of character
to veto at once every bill which
carries a needless or enlarged APP
preparation with it. He could
thus make himself strong with
the people, but we haven't much
hopes in his taking this tip.

Vashon Island Claims Forbes

While Marion, Ohio is growing

while West Branch, Iowa is foot
ing about Herbert Hoover being
born there; while Bowling Green,
Mo-, has just received the dust
of the Hon. Champ Clark, Vashon
Island assumes the crow of Peter
Pan and claims Col. Forbes as her
very own, 1t appears there is a
family row on in Washington, D.
c. between Harding and Wesley
Jones over tins man Forbes Of
Vashon Island. The president
says Forbes should be appoint
ed on the Shipping Board and
Jones says, "Nay, it should be
Humphreys" President Harding
and Col. Forbes are old time
pals, Col Forbes is man
eminently qualified in experience
and gray matter to fill the office,
and We'll bet the president will
have his way. We pass the Col.
Forbes summer home every time
we go to Burton, see the mail box
bearing his name, and some of
these mornings we expect to see
the mail man putting in a letter
from President Harding telling
the Col. that he has landed the
appointment which he so richly
deserves. Vashon Island deserves
some recognition from President

.GR|D|RON GAME
w. and J. Arrives Today in
Pasadena for Battle With
California on Monday.
by FAME NORTON.

PASADENA, Cal. Dec. 30.-With
the arrival of the Washington and JEFF
ferson football squad here today, the
stage is set for the big game between
the Presidents and the University of
California at Tournament Pack Mon.
day afternoon. The Tournament of
Roses officials announced that there
would undoubtedly be a capacity
crowd on hand for the contest. Tour
nament Park seats AZ 900 people, and
practically every seat has been sold.
The arrival Of the Presidents caused
their stock to soar. The team has
been highly touted by Eastern foot
ball experts, and California has also
come to recognize them as dangerous
foes. While California is a strong
favorite to win, bets on the probable
score are scarce, and 1t seems to be the
prevailing opinion that w. and j. will
prove tougher opponent than did
Ohio State a year ago.
On the arrival of the Presidents to-
day, Coach Neale stated that his men
are in great condition. He plans two
short workouts for tomorrow. and will
send them into the fray in practically
the same condition as that in which
they left the train.
Andy Smiths California squad is IN
grand shape. The men have been
working hard every day, and except
for a couple of off days around
Christmas. there has been no break
In their training.
