as an instructor in infantry tactics, and that's
where he began making military legend. He

The cadets of those days, who are mostly
majors and colonies now, thought he was
holy terror.
Yet because he was dealing with young SOL
dien who admired stern code, he had - and
has - the quality of arousing almost fanati-
cal respect. Men don't love him, but they'd
follow him through anything.
Years later, the Point sent for Bucl1ner to
come back for three years as commandant
of cadets to tougher the boys up. He did =
with vengeance.
One of his fancies was to lead the cadets on
grueling marches with full packs and equip

of summer. On one occasion. three cadets COL

Bucimer finished with the three extra packs

started back along the trail to see that the
fallen ones were able to navigate.

He knows them all.
He has believed for years that war with
Japan was inevitable and has clamored Justify

after time he has warned his associates and
his students: I'VE can hold Alaska or we can
lose it: it all depends upon who gets there

Public Power Policy
OF NewL Lsw5tirs
Washington State
Settlement Of Issue
Delayed at Leost Until
1914 by Court
Fy the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
OLYMPIA, Wash, March 81
This State-boasting cheap elec-
tricity and the gigantic Grand
Coulee Dam-is embroiled in con-
troVerSy over a new law authorizing
public power groups to condemn and
take over entire properties of Wash
lngton States private utilities.
The new law, enacted last month
by the Legislature and believed the
first such law in the Nation, carried
an emergency clause intended to
make it effective Immediately. Op-
ponentS took the caSe to the State
Supreme Court, however, and that
tribunal has just held the emer-
gency clause invalid and the meas
ure subject to referendum.
A campaign was started quickly
to obtain 10000 signatures necessary
to refer the law to the voters in
1914. Thus the issue may not be
settled until next year.
Gives County District Authority.
The power law, termed variously
as a blow at individual enterprise
and as progressive step, gives
county public utility districts the
right to combine and take over en-
tire private utility holdings. In
theory it would create public
power setup for the entire State.
1t is an extension of a 1880 law
permitting formation of county
public utility districts-PUD's as
they are commonly called-which
were empowered to condemn and
take over private utility holdings in
individual counties. There were
numerous lawsuits, running for
months in Federal courts, over the
amount of purchase prices.
This new law" says State Rep
resentative Fred j. Martin, one of
its leading proponents, makes it
possible for the State to take over
all private utilities and hook them
all up together with Grand Coulee
and Bonneville Dams as well as with
the Big Skagit Dam of Seattle City
Light and the Nisqually Dam of Ia
coma City Light" (The latter two
systems are owned by the cities)
Creates Public Power Policy.
Representative Martin said the
new.law is 'the most far-reaching
measure ever to pass the State Leg
islature, and it made public power
the sole policy in this State" He
added
''We should feel proud O: being
the first State in the Nation to take
such progressive step. This will
make washington State the greatest
industrial center in the world.
can't see how we can miss, as we
have 40 per cent OF the potential
water power in the Nation and the
State Is rich in minerals, some OF
which have never been touched"
The new law reached the Legis-
lature as Initiative No. II, sponsored
by the State Grange and signed by
$4,000 persons. No sooner had it
been approved that public utility
districts in the Puget Sound Power
& Light Co. area began setting up
commission with a view to taking
over the entire holdings of the big
company. The Supreme Court ac-
ton delayed that move.
The private power group, led by
Kinsey Robinson, president Of the

(AN EDITORIAL

Throughout the Christian World,
and wherever else the story has
been told, on Saturday 25th, an
other Christmas win be observed,
and again as has been true, now,
for more than 1890 years, the at
tenti0n and thoughts of mankind
will be focused upon the birth of
Jesus, whom men called the Holy
Child, The Prince of Peace, The
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
His birth predicted by the prophets
Of old thousands of years before the
three wise men followed a star un-
Til guided to his l0wIy birthplace;
the birth of Jesus, was, is, and
ever will be one of the most signi-
fcant events in the history of the
World.
The significance of the birth of
Jesus, however, lies not in the fact
that he was born, but that he Iiv-
ed; and that out of his life there
came something of superb quail
ty, fOrceful, arresting, and compel
ling. Arriving at this Christmas of
1943 it is well that we ask ourselves
how much the world today must
be like the world into which Jesus
was born? In the very decision of
his coming to earth, IL appears
from the story of his birth, his
life, and death, that he reached
the decision to come to earth, by
way of his lOwly and mysterious
birth, at time when mankind had
become all but lost in confusion.
