Meanwhile other bills are press
mg forward, but not quite arrived.
The first clash is due over the So
called district power BILL" initia-
ted by the grange. Two problems
are involved in the measures, one
Of which already stumped the leg
islators.
The power bill caused trouble
OF the bat because it was initiat-
ed Directly to the legislature, in
stead of to the people, the first
ume the Washington legislature
vas ever handed an initiative con-
sntution. Nobody knew how to
handle it, there were no precedents
70 guide the procedure, so the leg
stature appealed to the attorney
general. 1t was ruled that the mea-
sure had to be acted upon, had
precedence over normal business.
oaoer the constitution, the legis-
azure can not amend it, but pass
II or reject it. If it is passed by
ae legislature, it automatically be-
zones a law; but if rejected, it
automatically goes to the people,
so,ng soalg on the general ballot of the
10Y election. So, in effect, it is
ture.
lhen the provisions of the mea-
ssle mean trouble, reviving the old
o. sne over extension of municipal
stanership. The bill provides for the
,vlnation of "public utility dis
.ns us financed by utility bonds
aa aaa local assessments, and would
tha seamlt such districts to engage in
san. % business of developing and
y. sing electric power and water
Or commercial uses. The power
uo.. apanles are fighting it. Sup
onno s OF private enterprises are

,sea to give Seattle and Tacoma

He is also called upon to answer the question on the amount of manufactured goods we send to foreign countries. We send over a billion dollars worth of manufactured goods annually. We also pay ike or six times higher wages than they do in most any other country. The question is: What will happen when these Eur opean countries get into power again, and start manufacturing their own goods?' Hoover is also going to answer this question.
