SAVIOR OF DEMOCRACY

TINE YAKIMA VALLEY AMERI-
i CAN becomes alarmed over Jay
Thomas announcement that he intends
to circulate petitions asking for the
repeal of the direct primary and ini-
tiative and referendum laws. In con-
Guiding an editorial it says: 1.-THE
American should have five thousand
new subscribers before July first,
1922. Because if the people have ac-
cess only to the newspapers owned and
dominated by interests seeking to des-
troy democracy, the purpose Of des-
truction will be readily accomplished.
What part are you taking in getting
new subscribers for the American? 2"
AS pure bunk this tests one humid
red proof. just how many subscrib-
ers did the Yakima Valley American
have when the direct primary and IN
itiative and referendum measures be-
came the law of this state? Strange
as it may seem these laws were OPP
erative some six years before the
American came into existence and took
up the fight for an all-but-destroyed
democracy.
Since taking up the fight no small
part of the Americans space has been
devoted to denunciation and condem-
nation of the results of the primary
law. It fails to see much good in the
men whom the voters of the state OF
Washington have elected to public
office by means of the direct primary.

KILL 'EM

IVES, it may be cruel to slaughter
= anything as cunning as q fluffy,
bunny, but the ranchers up and down
the Columbia river valley don't know
the critters by that name. These are
not the cunning things that eat out Of
your hands in the story books or lay
the eggs at Easter. They are one of
the most serious pests against which
the farmer has to battle.
It is difficult to estimate the value
of a successful rabbit drive to the
farmers. For that reason the towns
people should continue to cooperate
with the farmers in the destruction Of
the long-eared jacks which annually
destroy thousands of dollars worth of
farm products. Last year one Horse
Heaven rancher alone reports the des-
truction of 300 acres Of wheat by rab-
bits and the crop toll in the irrigated
sections is even greater.
In all parts of the valley rabbits
have been increasing at an alarming
rate and something must be done to
stop the increase.
At the present time when weather
discussions are the principal vocation
of lot Of folks and the chief diver
sion of others the business people can
well afford to shut up shop q day
now and then and go cunning for rab-
hits ALONG with the farmers
