ing parties and poker sessions q

credence today with the discloS-
ures of an escaped convict.

Twenty years ago KenneWick was

Thirty years ago today the first

dates for state representative and

Next week the primary campaign
ends and the voters Of the Republic
can and Democratic parties selects
their nominees for congressional
state and legislative offices.
On the same day the minority
parties, theoretically hold conven-
lions and nominate their presiden-
tial, state and other tickets. The
most important of these undoubted-
" will be the proposed session Of the
washington Commonwealth Fedora
ton. This group will convene and
select it's ticket. OF course its ac-
ton will be based upon the out
come of next Tuesdays election. II
it is found that the candidates 1t

fices have been rejected by the

The second measure, part of the
unholy trinity, is No. lis, the So
called Stevenson Old Age Pension
Bill. This is also of vital importance
It's prime object is to wreck indus
try and business not to pay old age
pensions. The bill itself shows this
on the face. There is hardly a cor
poration in the State of Washington
that can meet the demands of this
measure and exist, unless given re-
lief from other sources. Industry
can, by increasing the cost Of its
products to the general public meet
the demands, but this will stifle
business. 81. +
Here we have two plIIS-One to
place the machinery of government
in the hands of a few leaders and
second to drive out investment and
capital.
Then along comes the third of
the three, the Initiative No. 119, the
"Production-fo Use" or Little Rus
STA" program.
The way has been paved by the
first two bills. Machinery of gov
eminent is controlled and industry
and business is on the rocks. Now
along comes the rest of the pro-
gram. Under No. 119 what little
property is left is to be taxed an adj
ditional ten mills straight with UNI
limited bond issues also. These are
for the purpose of allowing the
radical element of the state, which
already controls the machinery of
government, to walk in and take
over every and all type Of business
