Weekly Neps Letter From
OLYMPIA

oLYMPIA.-The highlights Of the
fourth week Of the legislature was the
quick approval by the senate Of an
entire new set of regents for the Uni
versity Of Washington; three gigantic
public hearings on proposed legisla-
ton, namely, 8. 3. 80, the Showalter
school code; 8. B. SO, regulating and
taxing common motor carriers and
H. B. 81 and H. B. 90, the selective
sales tax and occupation tax meas
ures; the attack on the normal schools
In a Joint meeting Of the appropriation
committees Of both houses; the re-
quest for an investigation Of the ac-
counts Of the Puyallup Experiment
station in the house; the creation Of
q committee in the house to investi-
gate the activities OF the washington
Educational association; the passage
of a memorial in the house asking con-
gress to repeal the 18th amendment
and the unusual spectacle of having
q member Of the legislature escorted
from a chamber ohe house, because
he insisted on talking too much and
being abusive.
No action was taken on anything
weighty or significant by either house
during the week and the session is hall
gone with practically everything YET
to be done. A lot of bills which woule
be considered minor to the public al
large but important in a small way
to many were advanced by committee
work, second readings, or passage Ii
one Of the houses. Up to the end Of
the week 232 bills had been introduced
in the house and 1872 in the senate.
Representative Schade Of Spokane
easily holds the distinction Of being
the most unconservative and uncon-
ventional member Of the legislative ir
spite Of the fact that he wears stale
full dress suit. He talks on every ano
all occasions. In fact he talks until
he is hoarse. He speaks his MIND
freely and 1t was he who caused Q
mild riot Thursday when he accused
his co-legislators Of being dead from
! the neck up" For this he was led out
, of the chamber by the sergeant al
arms. Speaker Yantis deals with him
, very sympathetically and except fol
his eccentricities he is liked by the
members. He furnishes diversion
not altogether unhappy.
Joker bills will creep into the best
regulated legislatures and the 23re
session Is no exception.
| o. M. Cook, Seattle, handed a reso.
luton to the house committee OF
memorials and resolutions and 1t wa!
approved by some of the members
unM 1t was read o second time. Their
1t was promptly filed in the trasf
basket. Cook meant the whole thinf
as joke and almost got away with 1t
The resolution as written by Cool
would put hundreds Of the states un
employed to work removing the OLE
capitol building here to spot up OF
the hill and nearer the new building
or, If that plan is not feasible he woul,
erect on the site of the old building
a modern business block to be ownet
and rented by the state. An appropri
alton Of $S50.000 lin cancelled scrip
was provided for In the measure.

LAST CALL ON
SPECIAL RATE

In case others are under the
impression that our special rate
OF 81 per year for the News
Record expired last week we
wish TO state that this offer is
good until Saturday, February
18th.
The results obtained from this
special rate have been most
gratifying and q number Of new
names have been added to our
lists. The dollars that have
come In have made us feel that
we were wrong about the de-
preston. While we do not
contemplate ever again making
reduction OF this sort in our
subscription rate, and that after
Saturday the News Record will
again resume It's former price Of
20 per year, we are much
pleased with the results Of this
short campaign for renewals.

when public hearing on the two pro-
posed tax measures was held. Speakers
representing various industries threw
word barages at the administration
luxury and occupational tax bills dur
ing the six hour hearing over which
Representative John R. Jones CD OF
Okanogan county presided.
Theatre owners and managers pro-
tested that their business was not a
luxury and argued against the tax
proposed and declared one or two
per cent tax on all businesses would
be fair but no particular enterprise
should be taxed and others excluded.
Frank Newman Of Seattle, repre-
senting SO theatres in Washington
Oregon and Montana, asserted that
the show houses in the United States
are losing 100000 week and the
proposed tax would close most of the
theatres in this state.

lature Saturday, the ninth state tt

mon people want changed will be cor

FIRE DOES LITTLE DAMAGE.

A fire, which apparently was caused
from damaged chimney, set fire To
the roof Of an outbuilding housing the
furnace, at the kirkland home Mon
day afternoon,
Although the fire was practically
under control by the time they arrived
Puget Sound employees and Ed Earth
arrived as soon as the alarm was
given, bringing fire extinguishers, and
in few moments the chemicals be-
longing to the Vashon department ar
rived in the Met-Cro wrccker, SO there
was little chance for more than a little
damage, possibly not to exceed $25.
The Kirkland family is indeed CRATE
full for the quick answer to their call
for help, and for the aid given In ex-
tinguishing the blaze which might
have involved serious loss.

THE basis and cause Of econo-

The basis Of the crisis lies in the
contradiction between the social

capitalist form Of appropriation Of
the results of production. The eX-
preston of this basic contradiction
Of capitalism is the contradiction
between the colossal growth in the
productive capacity of capitalism,
calculated to secure the maximum
OF capitalist profit, and the relative
reduction of purchasing capacity

standard of living the capitalists are

Explain Capitalist Crises

D05al Of society no longer tend to
further the development Of the con
ditions Of bourgeois property on the
contrary. they have become too
powerful for these conditions, by
which they are fettered, and no
sooner do they overcome these fet-
tiers than they bring disorder into
the whole Of bourgeois society, en-
danger the existence of bourgeois
property" Communist Manifesto)
And how does the bourgeoisie
get over these crises? On one hand
by enforced destruction Of 3 mass
Of productive forces on the other,
by the conquest OF new markets,
and by the more thorough exploit
alton Of the old ones. That IS to
say, by paving the way for more
extensive and destructive crises, and
by diminishing the means whereby
crises are prevented" (our emphasis)
Communist Manifesto
1.-THE statement that combines do
away with crises is only a tale for
the marines. used by the bourgeois
economists who set out TO justify
capitalism at all costs. On the con-
trarv, when monopoly appears in
certain branches OF industry, it in
creases and intensif1es the chaos
proper to capitalist production as a
whole" (Lenin, imperialism
In order to win the game OF
competition and squeeze out more
profits the capitalists are forced to
develop technique, to apply ration
alization, intensity the exploitation
of the workers, and raise the pro-
ductive capacity of their under
takings to the extreme limit. In
order not to fall behind one another
all the capitalists are obliged, in one
way or another to enter this path
Of furious development of productive
capacities. But the home and foreign
market, the purchasing power OF
millions OF workers and peasants,
who in the last analysis are the
basic purchasers, remain at d low
level. Hence, the weu-known results,

THE last cause OF all real crises
always remains the poverty Of re-
stricted consumption of all the mass
es as compared to the tendency OF
capitalist production to develop the
productive forces in such way that
only the absolute power OF consump-
ton Of the entire society would be
their limit" Capital Vol. l-Karl
Marx.
For many q decade past the
history of industry and commerce
is but the history Of the revolt Of
modern productive forces against
modern conditions OF production,
against the property relations that
are the conditions for the existence
of the bourgeoisie and Of It's rule.
1t is enough to mention the COM
mercial crises that by their period

entire bourgeois society on trial,
each time more threatenlngly
I'm these crises a great part not
only OF the existing products, but
also of the previously created pro-
ductive forces are periodically de
stroyed. In these crises there breaks
out an epidemic that, in all earlier
epochs would have seemed an alb
surdity-the epidemic of over-pro-
duction
Society suddenly nnds itself put
back into state Of momentary
tarbarism; it appears as if famine,
q universal war of devastation had
cut of the supply Of every means
Of subsistence; industry and COM
merce seem to be destroyed: And
Why? Because there is too much
civilization, too much means of sub
sistence, too much industry, too
much commerce.
The productive forces at the dis
