THE PEACEFUL ENDING OF A
USEFUL LIFE

r. c. McCroskey of Garfield is
dead. The end came, as he hoped
that it might, while he was busily
engaged in the discharge of his
duties and il setting his house in
order. Ever since the slight para
lytic stroke which he sustained sew
eral months ago he has realized that
his days were numbered and has
been cheerfully and accomplishing
~ engaged in the work of arranging
his extensive business interests so
as to facilitate the settlement of his
estate with the least possible trouble
to his family.
Last week he visited his son and
infant granddaughter at Olympia
and attended a meeting of the board
of regents OF the State College held
at the branch experiment station at
Puyallup. He arrived at his home
in Garfield Sunday night and Mon
day morning was preparing to make
stricken with hemorrhage of the
stomach and passed peacefully away
a few hours later. Thus ended the
active career of a truly remarkable
man.
Columns could be written in eul-
ogy of his success as a farmer; of
his ability as a legislator; of his
services, extending over a period of
8 years, as a regent of the State
College; of his example as an in
dustrious, thrifty, progressive and
public spirited citizen. but the big
gest and most notable achievement
of his whole career was the courage.
cheerfulness and activity which he
has displayed since he became blind
over five years ago. The manner in
which he faced and triumphed over
this terrible affliction was a sublime
demonstration of how mentality. will
power and courage can rise superior
TO physical ills.
Words are inadequate to express
the sense of loss which one feels
when the hand of death closes the
record of a close personal friendship
such as the writer had been priv
iledged to enjoy for over 80 years
with Senator McCroskey. Farewell!
dear friend of my earlier manhood
You have toiled much, you have suf-
fered bravely, you have endured pa
tiently, and now you are at rest.

4 TRIUMPH OF PEACE

Peace has its triumphs as well as
war and the Columbia Basin project
offers an opportunity to win one of
the greatest of these triumphs in the
history of the world.
To transform nearly two millions
of acres of dry land into a garden
spot, to afford an opportunity for
100000 families to establish homes
and secure a tract of land which
would make them self supporting, to
add millions of dollars to the taxa
BILE wealth of this state and many
more millions to the value of it's
products is something we'll worth
fighting for, even if it does involve
a cost Of some $250,00O,000.
Through the adoption of the ten
year naval holiday the national gov
eminent will save many times the
estimated cost Of the Columbia Basin
project. If the money were invested
in war ships it would be spent en-
tirely for insurance of national safe
ty and no part of it would ever be
repaid. Money invested in the recla-
nation of the Columbia Basin lands
would not only be paid back to the
government but it would also provide
insurance of national safety, for
200, 900 contented home owners,
producing food supplies, will add as
much to the protection of the coun-
try as half a dozen new dread
naughts.
The project has been pronounced
feasible by General George w.
Goethals, one of the most eminent
engineering authorities now living.
He asserts in his report that it is
as much a national project as were
the Panama Canal and the Alaska
railway and would add much more
to the national wealth than either of
the latter This is a strong endorse
ment from a big man of international
reputation and should stimulate the
people of Washington to organize
for an energetic campaign to put over
this great project and win this ire
mendous peace victory The same
unity of action and patriotic en-
thusiasm which they displayed dur
ing the war are needed now to make
the reclamation of the Columbia
Basin a reality instead of a project
on paper. The land is available,
the water is available, the en-
cheering ability to bring the
water to the land is available and
the money is available if the people
will only work together hard
enough to secure it.

\ DANGEROUS MEASURE

A determined effort will be made
to induce the voters to ratify Initia-
tive Measure No. 45 at the election
next November. This measure is en-
titled An act to redistrict the State
OF Washington into q senatorial dis
tricts and SO single representative
districts, and to apportion anew
membership in the state legislature. >"
This is an innocent sounding title
and the purpose of the measure to
reduce the membership of the house
OF representatives. from 81 to 63 and
OF the senate from ~ to 81. will ap-
peal TO many as a very sensible plan.
But how would the proposed appor-
tionment of membership in the legis-
lature affect the agricultural coun-
ties and their varied interests? Take
Whitman county for example:
This county now has two senator's
and four representatives in the legis-
lature. Under the proposed amor
tionment, Whitman county. together
with Asotin and Garfield counties
and part of Spokane county. would
have one joint senator. Whitman
county would have one representa-
tive and joint representative with
Asotin and Garfield counties. King
county would have six senators and
IS representatives A combination
OF the senators and representatives
from the cities of Seattle. Spokane
and Tacoma would be powerful
enough to dominate every act of the
legislature. In other words, the law
making power Of the state would
virtually be vested in the voters Of
the three big cities.
While this plan conforms To the
mandatory provision of the consti-
tuition of the state, that a reappor-
uonment shall be made after each
state and federal census. according Ia
the number of inhabitants shown bv
such census, it would be a very nm
fair and dangerous system to adont
The varied interests and industries
or the state are entitled to fair rem
resentation in the legislature as well
as the masses Of population. The
basis of apportionment prescribed nv
the constitution was fair. under con
ditions existing when that instru-
ment was framed, and It is safe to
assume that the members of the CON
stitutional convention never dreamed
that within a few years nearly hall
OF the population would be massed in
three counties of the state, The pro.
vision is manifestly not adapted Il

why legislature after legislature has
declined to comply with it,

why legislature after legislature has
declined to comply with it.
The strongest and most open
minded legislative delegations do not
come from the big cities. They, as a
rule, furnish the extreme radicals
and the representatives of the big
selfish interests To give to these
cities a preponderating representa-
ton in the legislature would be both
unfair and dangerous The constitu-
ton of the United States recognized
the unfairness of basing representa-
tion in congress solely on population
and therefore provided for the APP
portionment of representatives on
the basis of population, but gave to
each state equal representation in the
senate. regardless of population
The state constitution might well
be amended to conform to this plan.
The membership Of the house could
be reduced to SO, the minimum now
fixed in the constitution, apportion-
ed on the basis of population, but
each one of the 80 counties should
be given at least one member of the
senate. Such a system would give
fair representation of the varied in
terests and industries of the state as
well as of the population.
The best interests Of the common
wealth demand the defeat of Init
ative Measure No. As.

there is no short cut back to Eden.
Specifically, organization accom-
plishes next to nothing when it con-
sists of the citizens reliance upon
the state vaguely to do something for
him which can best be accomplished
by himself, The comparative failure
of paternalistic state experiments in
North Dakota, when contrasted with
the success of cooperative self-help
on the part of agricultural producers
on the Pacific Coast, is a more strik-
ing object lesson than is contained
in all the books or speeches ever
written on economics.
A family of partridges had been
living all summer in a field of grain
until one day little partridge said
to its mother, Il heard the farmer
tell his son and the hands to NOW

"Oh, no, not yet, I guess said
the old partridge.
A few days later the little par
fridge again warned it's mother that
it had overheard the farmer tell his
helpers to NOW the field. But the
old bird was still Indifferent. Final
ly one day the little partridge told
it's mother of having heard the farm
err say, I'm going to NOW the field
