of the University of Washington for
two new buildings on its oampus to

araiii.it heavy o-lds in the state legis
lature, nnd at least a partial victory
has been won.
Pledged to economy, the legisla-
.ture told , university authorities and
alumni that there was no possibility
of getting money at this session for
new buildings. That was at the first
of the session. It has since been
hown that with an attendance at the
beginning of- the second semester of
-the college year. February, there was
an attendance of 4000 students housed
wt poorly that it will be impossible
to increase this attendance in the fall.
Some of the classes are held in an
old frame building used by building
Contractors as a structure for lumber
and tools during1 the construction of
Denny hall years ago.
The committee on education of the
'State senate has Introduced a bill to
"provide for the establishment of the
University of Washington building
fund. This fund will be made up from
the money received from the rental
of the old university tract In the busi
ness district and from tuition fees. The
schedule of fees to be charged students
will be $10 fur matriculation and $10
a semester for each student. It is
estimated that this tuition charge will
' amount to $75,nuo per annum. The
rental received from the Metropolitan
Building company for the use of the
old university tract at present Is $40.

increased to $80,000. The tuition fund
and rental fund will provide the build

ture ascertains that it will not In the
future be called upon for appropria
tions out of the general fund for
buildings, it will agree in this emer
gency to make the $300,000 appropriation.
Following an investigation of 11
members ot the fire department on
cJmrges of breaking the civil service
rules by operating jitney buses on
their off shifts. Fire Chief Stetson
dismissed two m and reduced two
others in rank. Lieutenant W. G. Cham

department, and Frank J. Toyer were
dismissed, and H. S. Haight arid W.

second grade firemen.-
Lieutenant Champion, Toyer. Down

partnership, buying a machine more
ttian a mon'th ago, and operating it on
a residence run during their off shifts.
This Is in direct violation of th.i civil

city employe shall engage in gainful
occupation outside of municipal duties.

chief to discontinue the jitney busi

has been made on this system, as it
raises the department expense. The
firemen feel that if their fellows use
their off shift in private gain, there
will be an organized sentiment cre
ated to revert back to the old single
platoon system.
Seattle organized labor is aroused
because nonunion sailors were sup
plied by the Hotel Liberty, the mu
nicipal unemployed workers' home, to
replace 14 members of the crew of
the steam schooner Columbia, who
. were kidnaped from the ship by union
sailors for failure to hold union cards.
The union sailors went aboard the
Columbia in the harbor early Friday
night when Captain C. K. Allen was
away, and at point of a gun drove 'the
"Qnunion crew from the ship and heUf
them prisoners in the union hall all
night. When Captain Allen returned
. and found his crew missing, he sent
Jitneys to the Hotel Liberty, and at
2 o'clock in the morning 1 4 seamen
were aroused from their beds, and
agreed to sail. The ship sailed to
Mukllteo as soon as the new crew went
aboard.

order issued this week by County
Treasurer Bennett. Bennett has dug
an innocent little paragraph from the
session laws of 1911, that thousands
of citizens have never heard of, mak
ing it a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine or imprisonment, or both, to re
move assessed property from the state,
or hol.l closin-out sales when taxes

the saloonkeepers try to sell out with

risk of invocation of the criminal law
besides having to pay the taxes.

Seaside Plans to
Attract Tourists
Commercial Club at Sesort Town Has
Enthusiastic Meeting- and Takes
Steps to Advertise During- Summer.
Seaside, Or., Feb. 20. -An enthusi
astic mee-ting of the newly organized
Seaside Commercial club was held
Wednesday evening in the council
chambers of the city hall. Although
the building has a seating capacity of
150, many stooJ, in. the back and in the
hallways. .Merchants and business
men of the iity addressed the people
on ways of advertising this beach re
sort. Considerable money has been
placed at the disposal of the organiza
tion, and will be used for advertising
in newspapers, magazines and other
periodicals.
A committee consisting of President
Peyton Randolph, R. P. Stewart, F. H.
I.alghton and R. .1. Thorpe was appoint
ed to devise ways of reaching the tour
ists coming to the Pacific coast this
year, that they may include this city in
their itinerary. Steps were taken to
erect a large sign near the mouth of
the Columbia river, on which will be
written "Visit Seaside." This sign will
be large enough to be seen by all pass
ing steamers entering from California
ports ajad other places.
A commercial club was organized in
1911 and carried on an trxtensive adver
tising campaign, but nothing has been
done since the city was almost de
stroyed by fire in May, 1912.
Business conditions have beeen good
during the past winter, and municipal
improvements have not ceased since
last spring. A large new skating rink
is being constructed at Third and
Broadway, and will be completed the
latter part of next month. As an evi
dence of the growth in population, J.
T. Ilickox, of Portland, is constructing
an apartment house for the use of per
manent and summer residents.

(S.e'i to Thp Journal
Boise, Idaho. Feb. 20. (lovernor
Alexander hits put his economy pro
gram squarely up to the legislature.
The first appropriation bill, aside from
those for the necessary expenses of
the state, was Vetoed by the governor,
and in his veto message h made it
clear that he will not give his sanction
to any measure appropriating money
for any purpose which ne does not
consider absolutely necessary. He de
clared that he received his commission
from the people because of his prom
ises to reduce taxation, tnd that he
proposes to c;irry out that commission
if it is in his power. '
The intimation was plain that if he
in unable to ! to, the responsibility
would be. on the legislature. He told
the members of the legislature that he
believed at least two thirds of the.a
were elected under promise to the peo
ple to reduce state expenditures, and
that in order to fulfill that promise no
appropriation could be made, no mat
ter how worthy the project, that could
be postponed until such time as the
taxpayers of the state could better
bear the burden.
The bill vetoed by the governor
made an appropriation of $10,000 for
the Lewiston livestock show. Gov
ernor Alexander, admitting that the
amount involved was comparatively
small, refused to sanction the bill be
cause he considered the precedent a
dangerous one. He said that similar
appropriations might be asked iur all
the fairs in the state. The purpose of
the veto evidently was to show the
legislature that he would sign no ap
propriation bills other than those con
tained in the regular biennial budgets.
Members Sorely Disappointed.
Members of the legislature who are
seeking appropriations for favorite
projects are iu open rebellion igiinst
the governor, and attempts will be
made to pass a number of appropria
tion bills over the veto of the govern
or. It is understood that members
especially interested in such measures
will unite in an effort to verride the
vetoes.
Governor Alexander today again ex
ercised his veto power, and by so do
ing caused a storm to break in the
legislature. He returned to the housa
the bill authorizing an election in
Boise for the purpose of submitting to
the voters of the city a special char
ter abandoning the commission form
of government. The veto message of
the governor declared that commission
government under the Black law, had
been adopted by the people after the
most bitter campaign in the history of
the city, and that he could not sanc
tion another such campaign when, In
his opinion, there was no demand for
such action, except on the part of dis
gruntled politicians and agitators.
Commission government had been a
success, he said, arid the burden of
taxation had been reduced materially
under It.
An attempt will be made to pass th.s
Boise bill over the veto, but friends of
commission government feel assured
that the movement cannot succeed.
Democrats are counted on to stay with,
the governor on this proposition; and
If they do so, the necessary two thirds
vote cannot be secured.
Publio Utilities Law Attacked.
Opponents of the public utilities
commission won their fight against
the law in the senate. By a substan
tial majority, the bill repealing tha
section giving the commission power
to regulate competition in the issuance
of certificates of public convenience,
and necessity to corporations seeking
admission to new fields. This, ac
cording to friends of the commission,
'pulls the teeth'' of the law. Senator
Rockwell, champion of the commis
sion, declared in the senate that
if this section was repealed, the entire
law might better be removed from the
statute books, as the commission
would be powerless to carry out the
prin-ciples for which it was created.
The house has not yet acted on the
bill, and ftiere is also doubt as to
whether or not the governor will sign
it if it reaches him. A veto of this
bill would mean another bitter fight.
Prohibition Still Hangs Pire.
Prohibition is still the live issue in
the legislature. The prohibition bill,
making the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor unlawful after Jan
uary 1, 191, is now before tl e senate,
on the calendar for discussion in
committee of the whole. The bill

mittee on privileges and election last
Monday. with the recommendation
that it be passed. Two courses of ac
tion were proposed, one to refer it to
the judiciary committee and the other
to refer it to the committee of the
whole. Senator Hart, chairman of the
judiciary committee, objected to hav
ing the bill referred to his committee,
as he said he did not want to appear
in the light of. obstructing prompt ac
tion on the measure. He favored
sending it to the committee of the
whole, and this was done without op
position. Friends of prohibition overlooked a
point, as they realized afterwards, in
not having the bill made a special or
der, and, as a result, it took its regu
lar place on the calendar, with 17
bills ahead of it. It is expected that
the bill will come up early next week,
and there is much speculation as to
what action will he taken. The prohi
bitionists claim to have enough votes
to pass it, but those opposed to prohi
bition by enactment declare that the
result is very much in doubt, with
chances against the passing of the bill.
They declare that they have 15 votes
positively against it; and if this is
true, they will need only two of the
non-committals to kill the measure.
Beform Bill Is Amended.
One of the radical reform measures
introduced in the house was material
ly changed before being recommended
for passage. This bill made the opera
tion of slot machines unlawful, pro
vided that billard rooms must be
closed at 9 o'clock p. m., and prohibited
the playing of cards or other games of
chance for cigars or other considera
tion. The bill was so amended as to
apply only to slot machines, which it
still placed under the ban. In this
form it goes to the senate, and it is
understood to stand a good chance of
being enacted into law.
The legislature has but two more
weeks to run, anly a small proportion
of the bills introduced have been final
ly acted upon. It is evident that there
will be the usual rush of bills in the
closing hours of the session.
