In order that the Priest Rapids
irrigation districts work project
may be finished before the irriga-
ton season gets underway, most of

GRAFT-PROOF POLITICS

The fight against graft in politics is rather
haphazard movement, growing as conditions be-
come too apparent, and recedlng as the political
surface is smooth For this reason, few permanent
results are accomplished, and as time goes on the
odds against winning such fight increase.
At present there is movement to make mum
icipal affairs graft-free sponsored by the Order
of Cincinnatus which made great gains in the re-
cent Seattle primary, and holds several notable
victories in other west coast cities
Organized two years ago, the group went into
the Seattle councilmanic primaries and into the
statewide elections, but due to the fact that it
was but a new organization made little Roadway.
Last week, it emerged from the Seattle primaries
with clear-cut victory, it's candidate for mayor
polling the highest VOTE while two candidates for
councilman we're nominated 1t has already
elected two councmen in Seattle, supervisor In
San Francisco and elected councilman and spon-
sored the present mayor of Bellingham.
It is not long ago that the municipal elections
in Seattle were the laughing stock OF the state
and sometimes the nation. Graft was prevalent
and there was an unsavory odor to the general
political situation. The success OF the Order OF
Cincinnatus, which would make municipal affairs
graft-proof, and which binds it's candidates to per
NIT an inventory of all they own and to allow ex-
animation of their finances during or after their
tenure Of office, demonstrates that the public is
ever anxious to have a clean administration OF
governmental affairs, and that all that is needed
to bring this about is militant leadership and
constant fight against the shadier aspects OF poi
tics.
So long as the frailty of the human moral con-
seriousness exists, there will be graft in the admin
istration of government affairs, but constant
watchfulness on the part of the public will keep
this at a minimum. If the ideals of the Cincin
natus are maintained, and if their campaign
spreads from the municipal field to state and ma
tional politics, the public may be rewarded by
cleaner and more efficient politics but the pub
lie, of course must join in the fight.

Injured While Working

Mr.. Inscore. was a construction
laborer for some years after he
left railroading, but nine years
ago he was injured while work
ing on the Lincoln Memorial
Bridge and has since that time
been restricted to work that did
not require heavy lifting. Follow
ing his building trade, he then
became a cabinet maker and has
since done this kind of work.
He said:
'It used to be good business.
For a while we lived good on
what / made form this work.
But nOw-well. things are
tight"
Mr.. Hise, when asked what
work he was seeking, said:
''Well, I'm sort Of q jack
Of-all-trades, but guess I'm
best as an auto mechanic. I'll
do any kind Of work though"
Little 9-year-old Clinton. jr., is

Beds Given 3 Living
LIN Blacksmith Shop

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. 5.
Crowded into one small floorless
room that formerly served as a
blacksmith shop. five members Of
the family of Clinton Inscore, S.
year-old former railroad man, to-
night will sleep on beds for the
first time in several days.
Forced to leave their former
residence on King Street last
Saturday when they could no
longer pay their SIS rent, the
family, consisting Of Mr.. InScore,
his 18-year-old daughter and her
husband, a 9-year-old son, and a
7-month-old grandchild, took shell
ter in the blacksmith shop for
which they paid their last Sc for
one months rent.
With virtually every window
out, huge openings between the
roof, floor and the sidewalks, the
two men were busily engaged in
trying to patch up "the old
shack" to keep out the wind and
rain. Even the roof leaked in
several places.
Slept ON BeaverbOard
Discovered by an old Negro Of
the neighborhood who reported
the desperate needs of the little
family, an investigation made
by several members of the police
department. revealed that one lit
tie tin-drum stove was all the
heat in the '.'house," and the only
food to be found was a pot of
beans that was being heated on
the stove. No beds were in the
room, only a few blankets, and
very little wood. Large pieces of
beaverboard were being used by
members Of the family to sic 3p
on in order to keep off the
ground.
Today, through the efforts Of
the two policemen and other Alex
andrianS, the family has two beds,
a new supply of food and milk,
clothing for the children and
blankets for the beds.
Charity has not been sought by
the two men, Clinton Inscore and
his Son-in-law, Ely Hise, 80, how
ever, but what they want is work.
In consenting to Sergt. George
Everly's request to allow the
Washington Times to help him
find work. Mr.. Inscore said that
he was willing do anything pos
Sible that may help him and his
Son-in-law find work.

HEARING
ON VIRGINIA
PENSIONS
BY a staff Correspondent


RICHMOND, Feb. 5.-Members
Of the house and senate who have
any facts on the cost Of an old
age pension program have been
invited to give their information
to the joint commission to study
costs Of old-age pensions in Vir-
ginia at a hearing today.
The joint commission, a fact
finding body recruited from the
house and senate, has been gath.
ering mass Of information on the
controversial subject, but feels
much more knowledge as to the
cost Of such a program is neceS.
sary before report Is submitted
to the general assembly.
In extending the invitation to
members of the general assembly
the commission made it plain
facts and not opinions are wanted.
Specifically, the com mission
wants to know how many persons
would receive pensions, how much
should be paid to each person and
"OulO
be under such a program.
Gov. George c. Peery has asked
the general assembly to appoint a
commission to study the problem
and report back to the next meet
ing Of the general assembly in
1888. This plan has been contested
by Senator Benjamin Muse of
Petersburg, who caused the pres
ent commission to be appointed in
order that old-age pension legis-
lation. be enacted at this session.
Senator Muse took his fight
for immediate pension legislation
to the radio, and he was an
swered a few days later by Sen.
ator T. Russell Gather, of Win.
chester. The latter is opposed to
Senator Muses. plan, and he also
intends to fight the unemploy.
ment insurance bill which soon
will reach the floor of the SEN
ate.
The Muse old-age pension plan
has many followers throughout
the State, and because of this
many members of the house and
senate are expected to favor the
bills, although definite informa-
ton on the cost of the old-age
pension program is lacking and
sponsors Of such legislation have
so far failed to suggest any ade.
quate method of raising the nee.
esSary money to finance such a
scheme.
