By the Editor of The Star

By the Editor of The Star
OLYMPIA, Feb. 2s.--The prize
do-nothing session of all Wash.
ington legislatures Is IN its crifi-
cal stages. To date II has not
done one outstanding construc-
tive act.
II came down here vehementiy
promising taxation reform. 1t made
no reform. II filled the income tax
bill full OF jokers and injustices.
then killed IT, II introduced a
measure to strengthen the inherf-
lance tax law, but lost II in the
shuttle The session will adjourn,
II is certain. with no improvement
In washingion's outrageously me-
diaeval taxation system made.
1t promised strict economy. The
omnibus appropriations bill. thanks
to Dan Iandon's committee. did
present a fairly well-pruned budget.
but its good deeds bid fair to be
ruined and offset by additional APP
preparations. For instance. the Ma
tional Guard was cut down in the
general bill to s343, 600 too much
under the circumstances and an
additional $4,000 will probably be
sneaked thru in a later bill.
BLUE SKY LAW
is NOT ENACTED
a blue sky law was promised.
! Even Governor Hart. after vetoing
one last session, brought in rec
ommendation that such legislation
so thru. But to date. because Spo-
kane mining interests oppose it.
no such bill has been enacted. Wash.
ington remains the paradise of the
skin'game artist and the flim.flan,.
mer. Maybe the law will yet "get
by" While there is life there is
hope.
Everybody OF seemed favored an
anti-narcotics bill with teeth in il.
Yet delay has followed delay. AID.
journment draws near.
The big cities confidently expected
legislation enabling them to sell
current outside their boundaries. Yet
all the power bills died or are in
their death throes.
Washington. tho one.time leader
and pioneer in industrial Insurance,
awakened TO find itself the most
niggardly Of states. and 1t was clear
ly the duty of this legislature TO
amend the law so that the schedule
of compensation for men killed and
