indicates,, we think, that there may very well be a distinct
relation between the two. .. ? ' ' :, : ? . : .;
Most of the adverse fcriticism directed at tho legislature
during its specified 40-day period was to the effect that
nothing was being accomplished. That was true, and news
papers, all over the state emphasized the importance of action
particularly on the tax program. NForty days of argument
and discussion without producing anything constructive was
deserving of criticism. Bu the last and extra ten days the
legislature got down to business.. It passed, a lot of important
legislation and finally provided thri raws that hrid been urged
by the state press (in general) 'fliid by the special property
tax relief commission as a way out of tax chaos.
; .; With that accomplishment ,ta, Us credit, the legislature
was generally and properly praised as' one of the most con
structive in the last generation;.- In spite of the fact that
some things were passed or turneddown very hastily' during
the Inst week pf the session, that stands out as the most im
portant period in many legislative gatherings. Then the leg
islators deserved praise and commendation and got it, just as
they deserved and received considerable condemnation in the
earlier days of the assembly. ,
It might be futile, of course, to say that perhaps tho early
criticism had something to do with the late constructive ac
tion, but it is no less futile than to say that legislators didn't
pay any attention to what the press said about them. They
puy a great deal of attention to what is said about them,
especially if it isn't favorable. ,.
It is true that neither tho newspapers nor the general
citizenship of the state can know all that is going on during
a legislative session. They haven't the time nor inclination
to be bothered with specific details in most cases.' But they
can, on tno other hand, tell quite definitely about the prog
rebii being made or the luck of it. And recognizing that
lack, pointing to it, urging its correction is part of the duty
o t.ood citizenship and tends, incidentally, to promote con
btiuclive action. ' ' '
Individual legislators are often not guilty of the very
tl.ing with which the whole body is justly charged. They
i.i..y be working, most diligently along constructive and. pro
gressive linos, with a very clear understanding of existing
needs.: They may bo spending hour after hour in committee
sessions convincing their muddle-headed colleagues of the
need for direct, intelligent acliun. We happen to know that
some of our own delegation were set right and working right
from the start. But a legislature, and its work, is known
by its majorities, not its minorities.' Results are the things
that count. And in this particular session both the results
and tho majorities turned out to be, on the whole, very satis
fying. They wore not, however, at the end of 40 days. Hie
record was made in the extra' ten. - - - .

ings beforo It Is dissolved and gives

Is it not true that owners who keep their property
, .free front undue fire hazard deserve a safer, lower
cost fire insurance? -
GENERAL OF AMERICA FIRE INSURANCE presents
' every property owner with this question. The
manner in which they answer is apparent in the
. phenomenal growth of the GENERAL OF AMERICA
in less than six years from infancy to leadership in
. tht Pacific Northwest.
The GENERAL OF AMERICA seltcli its rhh. imurinj
-. . only property that it kept reasonably free from fire
risk. This results in a hutr loss ratio a saving which
the GENERAL returns to the careful property ow-ners
who make it possible.. The GENERAL maintains a
tlotte tontatt with its agents. Ail to this result: During
'. almost six years of business the GENERAL has never -yet
paid less than 20"0 dividends on participating
policies.
Justice must endure. This plan is JUST!
