Editorial
THE IMPORTANT ISSUE

As the 4th of November draws
near the intense interest centering
about the various measures COM
!, ing up for consideration and votes
continues to grow.
The News-Record has confined
its efforts to the one measure that
seemed to US the most important,
the so called District Power Bill.
Initiative No. l. This we have
done through no Interior motive,
but because we sincerely consider
1t a particular menace tc rural
community; the same type OF COM
munity to which its proponents are
making their greatest plea. under
the gliise that ii the bill wins 1t
will in fact make no difference.
NO one really warts to enforce it,
but 1t will give to The farmers the
RIGHT to form these powef dis
tricts.p The pleas that are being
made to the farmers elsewhere in
the state are an insult to the in
telligence Of the unusually we'll
informed farmers on the Island.
Recently, down below Yesler
Way, q soap box orator was ex-
hor.ing his listeners to vote for
the district power bill" This
was the same orator who had pre-
viously informed the congressional
committee that the communistic
program for this nation would
abolish oil private property, in
Guiding farms, turning them over
to the state, and the present own
ers reduced to serfdom. earning
what the government considered
necessary for his existence. 1t is
most unusual thing TO find such
an organization as the state grange
OF Washington working along the
lines as communistic agitators,
whose sole ambition is to destroy
property, homes, churches and
nations.
At first the idea seems ridiculous
that there was even possibility
Of such condition. but each day
1t becomes evident that some
sinister element is preying upon
the gullibility Of the public, and
one OF Its strongest pleas Is for
"the same right for the farmers as
for the city-dwellers'.

LLOYD WARD IS IMPROVING

ALo 4D VhhD 40 AlsAA ANOVA1NNfa.
Word comes that Lloyd Ward, high
school foot ball player who was SO
severely injured last week in the game
between the second team of the local
school and Moran, is now showing
marked Improvement and will be taken
from the hospital in week or ten
days If no new symptoms develop.
Ward, when injured, was not at first
thought to be seriously hurt, and was
able to be taken to the home of Mrs.
L. C. Beall, ST., where he works. In
a short time, as his suffering increased
he went to the home OF a brother in
Seattle, and was later taken to the
Seattle General Hospital. There 1t was
found that the spine was injured to
such an extent that he was put in a
cast, which he may have to wear for
some time. He has suffered intensely
for several days, but is. at the present
resting much easier.
Starting into school late in the year
Ward has not been able to make up
his school work, and for that reason
was playing on the second team, al
though one Of the best Island players.
The sympathies of those who know Of
his efforts to attend school, though
dependent on himself for his education,
have been aroused by the unfortunate
accident which has put stop to
Wards athletic activities for the year,
halted his school work, and placed
him deeply In debt. His speedy recov-
cry is sincerely hoped for.

Our taxes in the country are
high enough at present, but con-
slider the statement made by
Tacoma daily this week. No state
in the Union has as many publicly
owned utilities as the state of
Washington. Tacoma has pro-
portionately more utilities Of this
nature than any other section OF
the state. and today Tacoma finds
herself in the position of having
the highest tax levy, and having
gained the least In population in
the last ten years of any like sec
ton. What Tacoma needs is more
atax-yielding enterprises, rather than
to have any more removed from
the fax rolls.
In discussing this matter one Of
our prominent Islanders who spent
part Of last summer travelling
abroad made the statement, II
found, when visiting Norway this
summer, that many communities
had gone bankrupt by going into
public ownership of utilities" SO.
it would Eeem that the thrifty
Norwegians were finding that this
was moi the SOLUTION for their
economic problems. This came
man urged that every resident Of
the Island study the bill carefully
before next Tuesday before they
voted Eyes" to 1t.
Many have tried to read this
bill, and have found themselves
confused. and dismayed by the
culnbersomeness OF II, and have
given UP in despair. For such,
who sincerely want to INFORM
themselves. we are publishing, on
page of this issue, q summary Of
the bill, made for the State
Chamber Of Commerce by Howard
A. Hansen. an attorney too well
known to Island jewellers to need
any introduction. While the pub
fishing OF this summary took up a
little more space than we desired
to devote to II we felt that at this
time 1t was OF greater Importance
In the end than current news. We
trust that those who have already
informed themselves will be toler-
ant.
Once more the News-R Record
urges. regardless Of our opinions
in this matter, that we go to the
polls and vote, showing that we
have the courage OF our conyic-
tions, and are sufficiently American
to exercise our constitutional right.

Legislative Candidates
Frame Bill To Return
Auto Fund 10 Island

According to those familiar with
what they are endeayoring to ac-
complish, the bill being prepared for
the next session Of the legislature by
Archie McKinnon and Walter Lunn
will do much toward better roads on
yashon Island. The bill being drafted
by Mr.. McKinnon and Mr.. Lunn will
provide for approximately $4,000 adj
ditioral each year to be spent on Island
roads This,money will come, not from
additional taxes, but will be returned
from automobile license and gas tax
moneys paid in by Island residents.
Heretofore this money has not been
spent here.
Other Island which are counties in
themselves are now given refund, and
1t is the contention Of Mr.. McKinnon
and Mr.. Lunn that vashon Island
should be given the same privilege.
The: Bill will read as follows: "In
all Glass A counties, where there is an
Island, there shall be refunded to said
island one-half of all auto license fees
and gas tax money paid into the state
treasurer by the residents Of said
sslanI and said moneys so refunded
shall be spent in the improvement and
construction of roads on said island"
II returned to the legislature these
men Will, by reason Of their seniority
be members Of the road and bridge
committees, MI. McKinnon in the
House and Mr.. Lunn in the Senate.
These men feel that If, the proper in
terest and support Is given them by
their Island constituency there is no
reason why this Bill should not pass.

Sweet Annie was a gentle child
Who never disobeyed,
No naughty deeds of youngsterhood
To her we ever laid.
But Henry was laughing boy
To merry fun inclined
Who teased poor Annie till she cried
And wrecked her peace of mind.
He laughed at her and made her life
a state of utter woe
Till they grew up in course of time
AS children do you know.
And Henry's kind and gentle now,
But wretched as can be
For Annie laughs at him and makes
His life real agony.

Annual Club Banquet
Most Pleasing Affair

Island people and guests sat down on
Saturday evening to one Of the loveliest
affairs that has ever taken place or
Vashon Island.
The large hall Of the Island Club
was filled with long tables, decorated
with autumn leaves and flowers, the
Halloween idea being carried out both
in the decoration Of the tables and the
hall Festoons Of gay crepe paper and
balloons furnished by the Shell OIL
Company were drapea from the Lights
in the center to the wall fixtures,
Lighted candles Of various colors burn
ed on the tables. Paper caps were
supplied by the Standard Oil Company.
After the guests were seated an ex-
cellent dinner, planned and prepared
by members of the Club was expertly
served by high school girls. directed
by the older women In charge Of the
various tables. Many delicious meals
have been served IN that room, but
never one that surpassed that Of
Saturday night. The women and girls
of vashon Island who gave such ex-
cellent help surely deserve unstinted
praise for the evenings performance.
Larger commercial clubs can hire pro-
fessional caterers to- prepare their
banquets, hired walters are easily
procured, but no city commercial club
ever served better food, more efficient
" than did our volunteer help on this
occasion.
After the tables were cleared chas.

Children and Dishpans

Compulsory dshwashing never puts rainbow
round the dishpan. But 1t does have a lot to do with
that chronic business OF being too tired TO wash the
dishes. Just the same. mothers can't seem TO break
themselves Of the habit Of putting tea towels in their
daughters hands and suggesting that they wash the
cups and saucers ind brush the crumbs away.
But now Miss Marion S. Van Lew. chief Of the
Home Economics Erucation Bureau Of the University
OF the State Of New York, and education director Of
the Home-Making Center in New York City, has cast
her influence with the daughters. Mothers are all
wrong. Compulsory dishwashing. according to Miss
Van LEV, has given millions Of girls a drab outlook
on home economics. 1t has made them hate house
work.
Still. with a large family that must be fed three
times a day, to say nothing Of after-school bread
and-butter-a jelly sandwiches, it isn't always pos
sible for a mother to attend to the cleansing Of the
plates if she would darn the family socks. sew on the
family buttons. wash and iron and scrub and sweep
and dust and bake and stew and nurse and market
and plan the menus and tell the agents that she
isn't interested in anything todayi
OF course, If Sally and Sue and Mary didn't have
to assist in the cleansifying or the dishes they would
have the thrill Of novelty when they Clip their own
rosebud china into the foamy suds.
1t is q sad state Of affairs. If modern labor-saving
devices can't strengthen the case for the after-dinner
exercises there seems TO be little to be done about it
except let the mothers attend TO the additions Of the
china.
DishWashlng used to be something that every nor
nal girl had along with measles and munps and
ohickenpox. Now it would appear that 1t should be
banished from the childhood ailments along with the
ether hindrances to health and freedom.
There is nothing to do. apparently. but let the
mothers perform the publication rites for the por-
celain and dresden-unless common sense arises to re-
mark that children don't always need quite rs much
eoddling as the experts seem to think.
