Ten years ago Mr.. and Mrs. E. w

place in the In-B-Tween. At that time
they were about three-quarters of a

right away and trudged along with
the old style coal oil lamps, which
was not only dangerous but very in
convenient. At the time of the SOL
der settlement in here, a power line
was put along the west side of the
Heard place, but this line was also
about three-quarters of a mile away
and it was not until little over a
week ago that this line was extended
to their home and now at last they
have electric lights.
Mrs. Heard says that she has at
last come out of the darkness into
light and that as soon as possible

interested officials or elected from
the different congressional districts.
1t might facilitate matters, also, to
adopt the bi-furcated system in use
in California. Under this plan our
legislature would meet for month
to introduce bills and refer them to
committees. Then a month or two
would elapse, during which members
could study the bills and confer with
constitutions. Upon reassembling the
remaining month would be given ex-
clusively to the consideration and en-
actment of the proposed laws. The
fact that California has some excel
lent laws is argument.
Your correspondent is still of the
opinion expressed and advocated dur
ing his first session, in 1927 - the
commission form of government for
the state the same as Spokane now
has for city government. Three COM
missioners could be elected from each
congressional district. This would be
democratic and would give all parts
of the state representation. The sal
ary should be sufficient to secure the
services of able and efficient men and
women. They should serve as judges
now do, all the year except for a
short vacation. There is no reason
why our state government, the big
gest business we have to deal with,
should not be run on businesslike
basis for the best interests of all it's
citizens. However, this will take time
and thoughtful consideration. A con-
stitutional convention would be nee
essary. But we have advanced in sci
ence, industry invention and archi-
lecture kas witness the wonderful
and stately capitol buildings), why
not take forward step in the matter
of the science of government, being
sure to rest the superstructure on the
same solid foundation of justice,
equality and liberty that the found
ers of our government intended. In
the final analysis the solution rests
with the people. In democracy they
get just what they want-no more
and no less.
In my articles to my home papers
have avoided personalities and per-
sonal preiudices. l have none be-
cause personally I have been treated
fairly. But look at the proposition
from the standpoint of the welfare
Of the state and all it's people. I have

KNuTE Hills LETTER

Surh information as could get led
me to believe from day to day that
the bill would soon be on the calen-
dar, but the committee refused to let
it come out so that the members OF
the house could give it expression.
Such members of the committee, as
we'll as members of the house, with
whom I talked, stated that they knew
of no objections to the bill.
The suppression of this bill pc
lieve to be one Of the most high
handed proceedings in the history OF
the state of Washington's legislatures,
and I have lived in Olympia since
territorial days.
We believe that the passage OF this
bill would have insured perpetual
annual income of approximately one
half million dollars. Now, even if we
are able to save the block for the
next legislature to consider, we will
have at least lost two full years in
come.
AS you know, the bulk of this block
of timber was secured by me from
the federal government to reimburse
the state for loss to the common
school grant

members of the rules committee, am
obliged to sell tide lands Tor oyster
cultivation purposes at private sale
without competition. (Under Bush act
of 1895 and supreme court declslon).
The S17OO loss mentioned In the 4th
paragraph Of that letter has grown
tn approximately $4,000 by filing of
SUBSEQUENT applications. CThis loss
Voc sustained by sale on applications
f;iad between February 3, 1881, and
March 12. 1917 Because Of the boom
y, Jananese oysters. the failure to
nass This bill will cost the taxpayers
p o' Washington tens of thousands of
Ja1,ars before the legislature con-
venes again. (Tide lands sold at pub
lie auction adjacent to the state lands
bring 81 per acre while state lands
nnder the Bush act must be sold for
S1.25 per acre.
The Bush act was repealed on my
recommendation at the 1925 session,
but was vetoed by the governor. The
loss to the state since Governor Hart
ley's veto amounts up toward $25 1000.
