OLTMPIA. Wash.. Jan. IS. (Special.)
Thers baa been an undercurrent of
feeling amonir different member of the
legislative body over certain state of
fices tht la likely to break forth In a
bad storm any day. The forecast ap
plies particularly to the State Land
Commissioner's office and the State
Hlrhway Commissioner's office.
Special commissions appointed since
tlte last Legislature to investigate the
two offices and their departmental work
have completed their labors and sub
mitted their reports. The result of
their findings Is now known to erery
member of the House and Senate. Some
of the members have made a special
ntu.Ijr of the reports and havo Intimated
that there are many things yet to be
explained that would affect both of
fices materially.
It Is therefore not to be unexpected
that fireworks will begin to rop lo
earnest when rhe reports are taken up
and threshed out before the present
Legislature.
Hottd Itnatl State Hobby. .
Te good roads movement In Wash
ington Is at high pitch. The people In
this state have the good roads fever.
The situation here Is similar to that In
Oregon. No Moses has yet appeared to
solve the prohiem and to direct the
lawmskers along lines that would ap
pear to be for practical economy In the
cause of road construction and road
laws. In this connection. It Is believed.
th bills to he considered will bring
out new situations. Although the In
vestigating committee on the highway
department virtually recommends the
present svstem of road construction In
every particular, the report tiled by the
Commission does not satisfy the law
makers, and It Is probable that either
a mnm complete Investigation win be
demanded or new measures will be
passed covering some of the road ques
tions over which there still seems to be
considerable confusion and dissatisfac
tion. State-Aid Way Pl-llkod.
Tlie present state-aid road law Is
condemned on all sides, and there are
many taxpayers from over all the state
here voicing their disapproval of the
law and urging that a substitute be
passed. One of the arguments ad
vanced against the law Is that Tery lit
tle actual road construction Is complet
ed, compared with the large amounts
of monev collected for the purpose.
The Commission believes that the
law Is meritorious and that It has
served to educate the farmers to the
necessity or spending money to build
good roads. The Commission points
out that t!ie use of convict labor In the
building of roads has proved most sat
isfactory, and that the system should
be Improved and encouraged.
Discussion of roads and the highway
department has not yet been taken up
In the legislature. It la known n
many legislators are In a frame of mind
tn puncture a few boles In the present
law and the system In vogue when the
subject Is Introduced.
Fraud Is Allrjrcd.
According to the report of the legis
lative Investigating committee, which
filed Its report some time ago. the State
l.and Department Is In a bad state of
affairs. The report contains the his
tory of many sales of state and timber
lands which. It says, have been irreg
ular and show "Instances of fraud and
incompetency." The report further
says:
-The looseness and laxity of the land
laws, the dishonesty. Incompetency and
Inefficiency of cruisers, with all condi
tions, convince the committee that the
state has been for years systematically
defrauded and the people of the state
have lost millions of dollars by the sale
of state and. timber lands for grossly
Inadequate consideration. Reliable
cruises that nave been made under our
direction disclose that careless. Inaccu
rate and perhaps dishonest cruises,
heretofore made by state cruisers, have
resulted In the 'loss to the state of
great amounta of money, running Into
Incredible figures.
Inquiry Xot Complete.
"Another source of even greater loss
to the state has been the poor Judgment
disclosed In the selection of Indemnity
school lands and state granted lands."
Senator Allen, of King County, chair
man of the Investigating committee,
says that the work of the committee la
still Incomplete, as not sufficient time
was had to Investigate the sales of
lands In the eastern part of the state.
He believes that the whole subject
should be threshed out and that new
and rigid laws should be enacted for
the protection of state lands and for
the prevention of Irregularities In the
management of the department.
Elgbt-lloar Law Attacked.
One subject of legislation that Is be
coming of state-wide Interest Is the pro
posed eight-hour labor law for women.
It lis been sanctioned by the State Fed
eration of Labor and ta In reality an or
ganised labor measure. It Is receiving
strong support from various women's or
ganisations In the state and from
church sj and religious organisations.
Mrsi Mir Arkriht Hutton. of Spokane,
one of the leaders for women's rights in
Washington, has been In Olympla tmo
weeks In Interest of the measure.
Opposed to the bill sre cantverymen.
hoteimen. laundrymen and department
store proprietors Representatives of theae
Interests are In Olympla In an endeavor
to defeat the measure.
Oriental Influx Feared.
At a meeting of the House and Senate
committees on labor, the question was
discussed Thursday night before more
than WO persons who were directly In
terested In the subject. Employers held
that an eight-hour law for women would
result In seriously affecting many In
dia He In the state. It was Intimated
that If the bill were passed. It would be
necessary to employ Oriental labor more
generally and that wages would be re
duced proportionately. Supporters of the
Mil said such a law would relieve the
condition which female employes are
row compelled to face and that It was
lime to eop the slave-driving system In
Washington. ,
There la a strong be!i?f that the
measure will be defeated in the House.
Lien Bill Interests Many.
Contractors, msterlsl men. architects
snd homebulldera In Washington swarmed
to Oli'mpla last week to take tip the
question 'of legislation" on property liens
with the lawmakers. Each Interest seems
to be divided on the subject and as a
result some want tlte present law kept
Intact, others want It amemled and others
want It repealed and a enibetitute passed.
The material men have a measure In
the House while the architects and home
builders have a bill In the Senate knows
as the arta and craft bill. The con
tractors want the old law to stand.
Tho subject has been diecussed Jointly
with the Judiciary committees of the
House and Senate.. The Senate bill ap
pear to be popular and It Is not Improb
able that it will be passed In an amended
form.

MAYORALTY
DRAWS
FIGHT
TO CLOSE
Seattle Contest Marked by
Much Oratory Women
Are Factor.
GILL'S HUMOR SCORES
Mayor Cses Stj!e of Speech That
Appeals to Voters Dilllng Hot
on Trail -Women Are Taking
Active Fart in Campaign.
ciriTTt.p Waah.. Jan. JS. (Special.)
With women voting and with the
largest registration In the niaiory
Seattle, the election for the recall of
Mayor Gill this week passed from the
... of nawsDSDer publicity into that
of campaign oratory. The oratory was
begun at Ballard on Monday oy
He went Tuesday to Rainier Beach,
then to Green Lake. Georgetown and
West Seattle; his dates have been made
for the brief Interval between the pres
ent and February 7 so that the bulk
of his effort will be devoted to the peo
ple of the outlying districts.
At least one down town rally will be
held a day or two before the vote is
taken. George W. Dilllng. candidate
of the Public Welfare League, began
his csmpslgn Tuesday, and In eP""
with the adroit management which has
distinguished that organisation from
the first Dilllng has kept steadily after
his opponent. He spoke t Ballard
Tuesday evening, then at Rainier Beach
and so on in that way cdmpelllng Gill
to take the initiative so that Dilllng
mlght follow the present Mayor and
answer whatever arguments he mignt
have advanced.
Gill Strengthens Weak Points.
Anyone familiar with the political
history of Seattle will have observed
from the foregoing that the battle Is
being waged In precisely those districts
where GUI was weakest at the elec
tion last March. The ground so far
covered Includes portions of the Thir
teenth. Twelfth. Eleventh and Four
teenth Wards. In the order named
exactly those portions of the city where
A. V. Bouillon beat Gill at the munici
pal primaries last year and where
William Hickman Moore. Democratic
nominee, beat him at the election, only
to lose through the heavy down town
vote. ....
Gill hopes to gsln the outskirts.
Dilllng hopes to retain them for the
league, and even to come to the cen
ter of town with strength largely In
creased. Gill does most of his own
talking. So far. aside from chairmen at
the meetings, the only assistsnce lie
has had has come from John K. Dore.
a young lawyer who last November
successfully conducted a speaking tour
In the Interest of Sheriff Hodge. Dill
lng Is ably seconded by men like John
C Hlgglns. George H. Wslker. George
F. Cotterlll snd Ole Hanson: and there
Is no doubt that before the end of next
week the list will grow to somewhat
formidable proportions. Dilllng. It would
appear, has the advsntage of organi
sation, and the aupport that has come
to him. but on othe other band Gill is
amply equipped to take care of him
self. Gill Is Humorous.
He has a fund of humor all his own:
a plaint, strslghtforward manner that
takes mightily with the masses; a
tongue which he does not scruple to use
with biting and merciless sarcasm, and
a humble diction that Is always blunt
and abrupt, and oftentimes offensive to
persons who happen to be thin-skinned.
His 10-year sen-Ice In the Council has
given him a command of facts and fig
ures thst makes him a dsngerous an
tagonist; and his readiness In debate
is such that the man who dares to meet
him must be sure of his ground unless
he courts defeat. "He ts a fine rough
neck orator." exclaimed an admirer
at Green Lake the other night. He was
correct.
There Is tremendoils Interest In the
contest. Every chair has been taken
at the Gill meetings, and standing room
has been hard to find most of the time.
Crowds have thronged ante-rooms and
stairways, and have overflowed Into
the street. Dilllng has been accorded
much the same kind of reception; and
everywhere the speeches have been
accepted as If the voters desire to
weigh and consider, and to judge Im
partially between the two men. It Is
here that there comes Into view that
unknown and untried element, the vote
of women. Women are going to the
meetings, and are showing an eageress
to listen and a determination to hear
both sides. Dilllng thinks he Is sure
of the women vote because of the fight
made by the league showing conditions
In the- city to be deplorable with res
pect to the undeslroble portion of so
ciety: and Gill, on the other hand, be
lleces he will get the vote because of
the nature of the campaign waged
against him. He thinks the other side
has gone too far and that Instead of the
women being prejudiced agalnat him
they will go to the other extreme on
the ground that he has not been fairly
treated.
Emma Devoo Quiet.
"I will take a chance with you la
dies." ho said in a speech at Moun
tain View a few nights ago. But Gill
may find himself outclassed' by the
maneuvers of the league. That organ
ization made a shrewd move in having
actively enlisted Mrs. Homer M. Hill.
Mrs. Tom Murphine. Mrs- E. P. Flck and
others, and in having first established
women's headquarters in the Seattle
HoteL The Gill forces have attempted
to counteract this play by securing the
adherence of Leonla Wlnsor Brown,
and by establishing women's headquar
ters at the Rainier Grand Hotel. Mrs.
Emma Smith Devoe. who has always
been a fsctor In every step looking to
ward suffrsge. has not yet come strong
ly to the front In the present contest.
Admittedly the small registration of
women is a disappointment to the Bill
ing organisation. The registration of
men last November was approximately
48.000, and the argument Is made, with
reason, that there are fully as many
women qualified to vote as men. But
the registration has uniformly ' shown
only about one-third as many women
voters. There are fully 15.000 working
girls in Seattle, while the total regis
tration of women is somewhere In ex
cess of 20.000.
A striking feature of the battle so
far has been the extreme care taken
by both candidates to define their po
sition with respect to the church ele
ment. This is a "purity" campaign,
but both GUI snd Dilllng want it dis
tinctly understood that they are not
bigots and thst they do not favor blue
laws.- Neither of them would under
take strictly to enforce the Sunday
laws. They would not forbid music in
the parks on that day. nor ball games,
nor moving picture shows. They stand
for law and order, but they want the
people to realise that they mean by

INDIANS FOR LIQUOR BAN
Prospect of "Wide Open" Reserva
tion Stirs Opposition.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Jan. 28.
Indignant at the news of a bill Intro
duced by State Senator Allen - of
this city, removing me ban from
the sale of liquor to Indians, provided
they are holders of real estate, L. V.
McWhorter, a white man who had been
adopted into the tribe and has the In
dians' Interests at heart, has sent a let
ter to Senator Allen asking that he
withdraw Senate bill No. -56. -
Since every man, woman and 'child on
the reservation Is the owner of an allot
ment, the bill would provide for a wide
open reservation. The church element
played ah Important part In Senator
Allen's election and there Is general
surprise that he should be the Intro
ducer of such a bill, even "by request."
Mr. McWhorter, In his telegram calls
attention to the fact that the Indians
recently petitioned Secretary Balllnger
for the removal of all saloons from the
reservation. They would be decent, he
says. If the white man would allow
them to be so. When a saloon license
for the town of Parker was up some
months ago a large delegation of In
dians attended the hearing and made
known their wish that liquor be not
sold In their neighborhood.

INCOME TOO SMALL
Idaho Legislature Puzzles Oyer
Appropriations.
COUNTIES DEMAND MUCH
With Large Requests for Money
From All Sections of State for
Needed Improvements Prob
lem Grows Hard.
BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 27. (Special.) The
llth Legislature Is face to face to tho
problem of taxation and revenue. Like
a wall It loomst threatening: to curb ap
propriations and unless a happy solution
is reached many meritoue legislative
measures that have and -will pass both
houses, -will be cut oft after they reach
the administration desk of Governor
Hawley.
Governor Hawley has already sounded
the warning and Republican party lead
ens apprehended It at the same time,
or before. Bills introduced during the
present session are calling for more than
the limit of appropriation or bonded in
debtedness of the state. There is a limit
and it was reached ten days after the
Legislature was in session. .
Appropriations Badly Needed.
Probably the most serious part of the
situation ia that many of the appropria
tion measures are badly needed In their
respective localities in tills etate. Bonner
County wants an appropriation for a
state road, and the highway is needed.
Boise County also wants a state road
as does Fremont and Bear Lake coun
ties. Nez Perce. Canyon, Klmore, Lin
coln.' Twin Falls, Cassia. Custer. Fre
mont and other counties want state
bridges and they need them. But every
ono of the measures call for stats appro
priations until today the total amount ot
bridge apporpriations alone asked for is
tJOO.000. Other appropriation bills are
staggering In their figures until the sum
total reaches several millions. Ada
County alone ass for Jl.000,000 to com
plete the capital building. Of coiirea this
is generally considered as an appropria
tion for the benefit of the state at large.
Already 41.000.000 stands invested in an
as yet uncomplete building. To leave the
edifice uncomplete Is not considered good
business judgement and yet to complete
it will cause a drain on the State Treas
ury that will block many other appropria
tions needed a great deal more.
Solution Is Difficult.
There aro men who make up the per
sonnel of the present session like Senators
Page, Shawhan, Gooding, St. Clair, Mac
beth, Pugmire, Speaker Storey, Repre
sentatives Sanborn, - Farnim and Jones
who believe that there must be some so
lution by which the appropriation wall
can be circumvented. Some of them
think that by Judiciously curbing the
demands for Improvement appropriations
of the state Institutions, money can be
paved so that bridge and state road bond
ing measures can be taken care of. The
educational Institutions of the state alone
or the University of Idaho, the stale
normals at Lewlston and Albion and tlie
Academy of Idaho at Pocatello are ask
ing for a total appropriation of $1,144.67$
Just $850,733 more than the biennial ap
propriations for the four institutions by
the tenth Legislature. Every graduate
from these four schools has cost ' the
State of Idaho the sum of $3000. Today
it Is costing this state $S0O annually for
every student In the Albion State Normal,
almost a sum sufficient to send the
students to some Eastern college to re
ceive their education. It is the solution
of the handling of these Institutions espe
cially that the solons of the present ses
sion are burning midnight oil to solve.
SALOONS TO BE REFORMED
Pasco Mayor Would Stop Liquor
Sale at Midnight.
PASCO. Wash., Jan. 28. (Special.)
Mayor Gray plans at the next meeting
of the .Council to have an ordinance
passed regulating saloons. According
to his' Idea, tho saloons should bo com
pelled to close at midnight, instead of
being permitted to stay open all night
as at present. Another reform in run
ning soloons is tlie proposed action of
having them remove all chairs from the
barrooms, the claim having been made
that some saloonmen at the present
time have as many as DO or more chairs
in their places of business.
