Olympla,- "Wash... Dee. 18- the
passing of resolutions urging the
presentation of bill - to the next
legislature is the chief outdoor and
indoor sport of the capital city and
her sister communities. Sportsmen,
labor leader, road enthusiasts, re
formers, public utility companies,
reclamation boosters alien land law
protagonists, and educational admin
istrators 'are some of the ' interests
who are planning to lay siege to the
state's solons.
The sportsmen's convention, just ad
journed, has mapped out a legislative
program headed by the proposed crea
tion of the office of earns 'commissioner.
The repeal of the criminal syndicalism
- measure is the chief aim of the labor
forces, who regard the present law as a
vicious violation of the constitutional
"guarantee of freedom of thought, speech,
and press, and as. designed purposely
for the subjugation of labor.
MARKET BILL BACI&tD
Farmers and workingmen alike are In
terested in directing marketing bills as
a -solution for the high cost of living
and prevention of waste, in the distribu
tion of foodstuffs.
' Through the Washington State Federa
tion of Farm- bureaus and -the State
grange the farmers are preparing; .bills
expressly legalising cooperative market
ing and buying associations. The re
, maskable success of the Washington
Haygrowers' association and the United
jDelry .. associations of Washington In
their mutual contract has etirred ulti
mate producers in other lines to emulate
their methods, j
Despite the statement of James C
Allen, state highway commissioner, that
the present road building program win
keep the highway commission occupied
for the next two years, supporters of
many road project throughout the stsAe
are planning substitutes for portions of
the defeated Carlyon bill. The closing
of the gap in the Olympla highway in
Western Clallam county has the most
energetio support up to date on account
of its great scenic value and consequent
attraction to tourists,
The Automobile club of Western
Washington wishes to compel county
commissioners to do their duty as de
fined by law in properly marking high
ways. The establishment of a custodial school
in Western Washington Is the chief aim
of the women's legislative council, and
this body will establish an office In
Olympla during the session to carry out
this and. other features of its program,
including a thorough investigation of the
administration of the three hospitals for
the insane.
BECLAMATIQX IS FJ10P0SED
Public utility companies throughout
the state, especially street railway con
cerns, are seeking legislative relief from
their financial difficulties. The contin
ual Increases in tariffs, reluctantly
granted by the public service commis
sion, are not solving the problem.
The state reclamation board hag an
ambitious program, mapped out by r.
M. Chandler, chief engineer, which calls
for the irrigation of many projects In
Western Washington. The recent con
ference held in Seattle regarding logged
off lands prepared recommendations for
land clearing by state action.
JAPANESE AHE OPPOSED
The enormous Increase in the number
of Japanese holding leaseholds on farm
lands, and, in the cities, on hotels, has
caused an .initiative petition to be filed 1
for a law to prevent aliens from holding
land or leasing hotels. From present in
dications this initiative will receive suf
ficient signatures to bring it before the
next legislature.
Provision for the opening of the new
state normal school at Centralia next
fall is the chief item on the educational'
program, while the report of the public
school code commission is already divid-.
Ing the educational forces into warring
camps.' The proposition to make the
state superintendent of schools appoint
ive on a professional basis by a newly
constituted state' board of education la
meeting political opposition, and the
same is- true of the proposed county
school board reform of the same nature.
Kubli Is Very Short on Ways
Adams on Deck With Means
State Representative K. K. Kubli
is doubtless a moat efficient chair
man of the ways and means com
mittee when acting iq that capacity
in the state's legislative halls at Sa
lem, City Treasurer" Adams concedes,
but he insists that the state's w, a!
m. a. does not properly function
when Put to the test on local and
altogether personal affairs.
Treasurer Adams offers the cleaner's
bill -lor removing sundry grease spots
from hla pet business eult, numerous
mild bumps and abrasions on his care
fully manicured digits and the sugges
tion of a slight limp In his right nether
extremity in support of his allegations.
Last Wednesday morning, on his way
to the city hall. Treasurer Adams found
Chairman of Ways and Means Commit
tee Kubli serenely seated in his automo
bile in the center of the Hawthorne
bridge, calmly oblivious to the din of
auto horns, sirens and multitudinous
other ear-splitting contrivances, and
with no marked evidence of any inten
tion to vacate the bridge or even make
room for the procession Impatiently urg
ing the stalled autoiat to get off the
bridge or to go to one - side, or where
ever it is impatient autoisla tell one to
go in a boiler-shop whisper.
The member of the ways and means
committee was stalled in the middle of
the bridge with neither ways nor means
to either proceed or recede. His ma
chine refused to go. It offered no argu
ment, no explanation, no apology it
simply refused to go.
"Would Mr, Adams assist him to trun.
die the offending auto off ' the bridge T
Mr. Adams would, and did. but the city
treasurer has taken a solemn vow that
the next time, Representative Kubil
electa himBelf the target for the wrath
of innumerable hurried autoista he can
go to Salem for his ways and means or
to the place suggested by numerous au
toista in the rear of the Kubli machine

day morning, j
Middle West Also
Has Crime Wave, Is
Report of Deputy
A wave of crime Is sweeping the Mid
dle Western states the same as the
Pacific coast, according to Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal T. F. Mitchum or
Kansas City, who brought James Hag
gerty to Portland on a federal court
warrant. r-
We are bothered mainly by young
men, under 21 years of age," he said,
"and few of our bad criminals are over
so." . . .
Mitchum said daylight robberies are
prevalent, and that the police seem
powerless to cope with the criminals
because many are new at the business
and no records are available.
Conditions in Kansas City art espe
cially bad, he said, as the city Is a rail
road terminal. All the burglars change
cars there whether traveling east or
west, Mitchum said, and generally com"
nuta few robberies before leaving the
city.
Haggerty. who is charged with using
the mails to defraud, was arraigned be
fore Federal Judge Bean Tuesday after
noon, but did not enter his plea. The
court appointed D. A. Green to represent
him at the trial. Haggerty is held. In
the .county jail in default of $500a bonds.
He is alleged to have falsely advertised
the merits of an oil burner, which he
desired to sell on the market.
$35,000 Raised for
Kennewick-Pasco
Bridge Over River
Presoott, Waslu, Dec 18. Committees
in charge of the campaign to raise $50,
000 here toward the cost of construct
ing the proposed Kennewlck - Pasco
bridge across the Columbia river have
been most successful In their efforts,
and as a result more than fSS.OOQ has
been subscribed. The committee feels
elated over Its success, considering eco
nomics conditions in this section, where
the major portion of the wheat crop
is still in the warehouses. -
Most of this money was .raised at a
mass meeting, although there had been
some canvassing prior to the gathering.
Reports received from ' . other places
where similar campaigns are being con
ducted are also . most encouraging.
Paaco and Kennewlck are subscribing
large amounts. Nothing of late has
been done in Walla Walla since the
raising of $600Q this summer. , how
ever, and the matter Is to be taken up
there soon,
