Republican Dampness

7 ENDORSEMENT by the state Republican convention
of the proposal to resubmit prohibition to vote Of
L the people appears to be in line with growing
sentiment in many parts of the country and probably
is fore of action to be taken at the national
convention in Chicago this summer--but the move may
prove fiat wheel the Earle Brown band wagon
nevertheless.
1t is apparent that most people, especially those
interested in politics (but not in offce) have very
decided opinions on prohibition Mention of the SUBJ
ject in "mixed" crowd presages fight. When can
didacies are considered mans standing the liquor
question has been perhaps too frequently, the decid
ing factor with voters This fact has led candi-
dates without strong convictions to count the sent
ment best they could and take their stand subject
to change with the weather.
The danger to the Republican party in this state,
we see it, is not that other parties will gain sup
port through their action but that disappointment of
many drys the decision will make the campaign
a ukewarm affair where it might have been vigor-
Gus one.
Support of the Republican party lacking at
the last election. To win, the party needed to pick
the strongest possible ticket make determined CAM
pagn avoid controversy and by these regain
lost support
Instead the convention followed Democratic lead
and headed into the first trouble cloud in sight by vot
ing on question which could have been avoided Now
many of the delegates back in their homes, disap
pointed with the turn of events, in mood to do the
vote hustling for the party they have expected to.
Perhaps the convention did the right thing by it's
constituents by taking stand on the subject-but
it was dangerous thing for the party.

Ragging Officials

T HE practice of ragging county, city and village
officials about the expenditure of tax funds, dis
pite its popularity, is usually unfair and unwar-
ranted and if it has an effect is likely to be dsappoint-
ing.
If the memories of taxpayers are not too brief,
they will recall times when they demanded more
raveed roads, new bridges adequate care OF the poor
good schools and all the other things that to make
high taxes If they fair they will admit tnat lew
dollars have been spent by the boards they elected
without demand from the people for those same ex-
penses
We wanted our roads cleared of snow in the win
ter like all the other counties around We needed
a county agent Each road graveled and graded led
other taxpayers to demand that their roads be gravel
ed and graded We asked for the things wanted
and got them. The tax bills we received naturally
went with them
Granting that we have spent beyond the limits we
should have maintained-t is just poor economy
to start backing up now rate which will mean the
loss of many of the hard earned dollars already spent
The county agent costs the farmers of Redwood
county 81 cents per farm. If he made call or
gave advice to callers at his office the perfection OF
his weed plan should be worth from SIS to $40 per acre
of farming land in the of the next three years.
The advertising received through the adoption OF the
plan in other counties has given Redwood county the
reputation of progress in farming of weedfree land
which is of inestimable value.
Would it be good economy now that we have built
up fine system of highways to let them grow up to
weeds or become barren of gravel for lack of main
tenance funds? Would the county which founded the
now famous weed eradication plan which bears its
name want to that plan fall by the wayside for
lack of county agent to see to its management!
The answer to these questions and similar ones
is positive "no" What we need is careful retrench
ment all along the line of public expenditures. Small
savings which will reflect appreciaby in the tax bill
but which will leave the county without funds with
which to operate. We have little if any reason to
blame local tax spending groups. They have followed
the paths we pointed out. We went to extremes in
spending-lets not be foolish when it to saving.

Our ferry route has been luscious
plum that has been viewed with envy
by number OF other companies dur

several have expressed themselves as
anxious to pay the county for the op-
portunity to operate the ferries. The
political aspect is Of no particular
Importance to us except that In view
Of 1t the Island Is being Disseminated
against in the matter Of automobile
rates. On Lake Washington where
county owned boats are operated by
the Anderson interests, from Madison

Vashon, the single fare for light
car and driver is 50 cents, 10 rides
$3.50; passenger fares is cents for a

cording to the figures compiled by the

From all indications the subject of
lower ferry fares for Vashon Island Is
subject upon which the majority Of
permanent and summer residents
agree. 1t seems to be the concensus
of opinion that present low prices
and wages should have It's effect on
the ferry rates rs 1t has had on all
other forms OF travel rates.
On the other hand there are those
who approve OF the present high rates,
believing that they keep away from
our Island those who would add Moth
ing to the community economically
The contention that the occasional
visitor is of no value and should more
or less be discouraged in coming here
seems rather far-fetched, as does also
the contention that the Island resi-
dent who cannot afford to buy book
of tickets should either stay at home
or move back to the mainland. Our

June 9th, 1882.
Captain j. l.. Anderson,
Kitsap County Transportation Co.
Seattle, Washington.
Dear Sir:
Some weeks ago, in a telephone con-
versation with you, raised the sub
ject of monthly Communication rate
for car and driver to be applied to the
Fauntleroy-vashon Heights run. You
gave me to understand you had the
matter under consideration. VIII you
be good enough to advise me as to
the results to date?
Pending such advice from you let
me place my viewpoint lin which 1
am joined by all those users of this
ferry route with whom I have talked
on record:
From the standpoint Of receipts to the
company.
l. The week day ferry trips, serv-
ing potential conmuter traffic, are
not crowded: there is ample room for
more cars.
2. A commuters rate would result
in much greater immediate use of
this facility, and would stimulate
much more in the near future by max
ing 1t possible for people to live on the
Island while doing business in Seattle.
From the standpoint Of the patron
and the community served
/. The present rate lie, on tickets
with unlimited time for user) is pro-
hibitive as respects daily communication
by persons Of moderate means.
Q. This ticket rate itself discrimi-
mates against vashon Island when the
length of the actual haul is taken into
consideration, plus the fact that the
mainland terminus of the ferry is 10
or IL miles from the city center which
is the real terminus for the users
thereof.
8. Even admitting the reasonable
ness of this tariff for the casual trip
per, the situation of Vashon Island
with respect to Seattle obligates the
company to make special provision for
commuter traffic
4. The present tariff structure may
have been reasonable in period OF
prosperity and before the company
had explored the traffic possibilities
of various routes. The present stu
alton demands some recognition of the
fact that money is dearer, and that
vashon Island has contributed more
than its share to the revenues of the
company.
In view of the foregoing, have sug-
gested that SO ride ticket be issued
to the state license number Of the ap-
plicant's automobile. This ticket, or
tickets, to be good for 80 days from
the date of issue upon weekdays and
Saturdays only. The base price of
such a monthly ticket to be $1,000 for
a light car with driver; rate for
heavier types to be in proportion.
Yours sincerely,
X. @. COLE.

NAVY MUST BUILD
ATTACK FOR LIONS
Also Drills to Better Its Kick
Run-BaCks Against
Columbia Eleven.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

A NNAPOLIS, October 31.-Tomor-
~ row the Naval Academy foot ball
~ squad will start preparations for
the game with Columbia here
next Saturday with dogged determina-
ton to correct the faults which have
caused the poor showing thus far. In
the visitors, Navy expects even a more
powerful opponent than Pennsylvania
proved last Saturday.
The glaring weakness of the Navy
team is its failure to gain consistently
with any kind Of attack, despite a great
deal of Individual strength in the back
field. 1t also is being noted that Navy
is very weak in covering punts, this be-
ing quite evident last Saturday.
Pennsylvania ran back the Nays
punts for a total OF l07 yards. while
the total of the Navy was only 7. This
l00-vard advantage had a great dsal
to do with the fact that the Navy
did almost all its playing in It's own
territory. SloWneSs on the part Of the
ends and fiat kicking by the Navy backs
is said responsible.
A serious less was sustained through
the injury of Ben Walkup, right half,
and one of the strongest of the Navy
backs, who retired from the game in
the third quarter. II was found that
Walkup's breast muscles were badly
hurt. and he is not likely to play
against Columbia His place will be
taken by Fred Bor"ies, good runner
ana a fine receiver OF passes.
Other players who will be watched
closely and may be given chances
against Columbia are Lee. quarterback
Clark. halfback, and Dornin and Fulp

inch. l understand. however, that
one of foot balls greatest authori-

A lateral pass, Wood to Crickard,
on the kickoff, enabled Harvard to
advance the ball to Yale's 7-yard
line on the left Size OF the field.
Orchard gained yards on an in
side-tackle play toward the right,
and Wood had to consider what to
DO next. His own team. scenting
touchdown, was keyed up to the
highest imaginable pitch. Under
such conditions. a tumble could re-
