WALLA WALLA ALARM
SYSTEM INSPECTED
That he might know mnre about an
elect rle fire alarm jystem before
recommending to the council the ac
ceptance of one of the bids made last
week. Chairman Joe Ell of the fire
committee of the council spent yes
terday in Walla Walla, and, with
Chief Metz of that city In the role of
Instructor and demonstrator, learned
how the system works In actual prac
tice. After the firemen at the cen
tral station had been warned not to
get excited If alarms came In, Messrs.
Ell and Metz turned in several alarms
and the former was able to see the
great advantages of the modern way
of getting the fire fighting batalllon in
action.
Mr. EU states that the Walla Walla
chief was more than kind in explain
ing every detail of the apparatus, ev
en to demonstrating to him the speed
of tho departmental fire engine. As
a result of his visit, the chairman of
tho fire committee is enthusiastic
over the box alarm system and will la
bor to his utmost to win tho other
councllmen to his convictions.

Portland, Feb. 19. The constitutionality of the Oregon initiative
and referendum law which is virtually, decided as constitutional by the
United States supremo court today was first raised in Oregon when
the state attempted to collect $10,450 tax from the Pacific States Tele
phone company, on its gross earnings under the authority of an initi
ative law passed in 190G. The Telephone company combined with
Frank Klernan in an injunction case ngainst tho city of Portland and
opposed the law on the grounds the Initiative law is unconstitutional
and asserting the Oregon system violates the guarantee of a republican
form of government; is a revolutionary blending of three departments
of government; confuses statutory with constitutional legislation and
makes both people and legislature lawmakers. The state contended
the case to be a political, not a legal question. The supreme court by
Implication upholds this contention. '

preme bench.
A Mow to Wage Earners.
Des Moines, la,. Feb. 19. That
the nomination by President Taft of
Mahlon Pitney to a supreme court
judgeship is a blow to labor because
of Pitney's attitude toward picketing,
was the declaration today of Presi
dent Urick of the Iowa Labor Federa
tion. He cites the decision by Pitney in
which Pitney says:
"Any pers.m working for a salary
if a servant in the eyes of the law.
N'ow with' the relation of master and
servant being shown to exist, the law-
is clear, that no person has the right
to entice another's servant away.
. "The right of the master to have his
servant continue in his employ with
out molestation or enticement away
by a third person, is a property right
and is recognized by the law."

Fire that was quickly extinguished
broke out In the cleaning room of the
Pendleton Cleaning and Dyeing works
on East Alta street shortly after 10
o'clock this morning and damaged
a number of pieces of clothing which
belonged to patrons of the shop. How
ever, none of these patrons will suf
fer any loss from the fire, as Dick
Sullivan, the proprietor, announces
that he will stand the full loss.
The fire was caused by tho gasoline
used on some of the cleaned gar
ments becoming ignited from the
stove in the room. The flames spread
rapidly through the room but tho
prompt work of the employes in clos
ing the doors kept them confined to
the single room until the fire de
partment arrived when they were
quickly subdued.
Damage to the equipment of the
shop was small and fu'.Iy covered by
insurance.

tlent Taft As Impossible.
New York, Feb. 19. Governor
Hiram Johnson of California, who
staunchly supported Senator La Fol
lette for the republican presidential
nomination when other leaders had
deserted, has been apparently releas
ed from his u'.legiance to the Wiscon
sin senator.
Today he issued a formal state
ment declaring for Colonel Roosevelt
as the leader in the fight to beat
President Taft.
While Governor Johnson won't talk
it is strongly rumored that he is slat
ed to run as vice president on the
progressive ticket.
In his statement he eulogized Col
onel Roosevelt highly, saying he is tho
greatest modern teacher of the peo
ple, and that California is pledged
to progressive policies and that the
progressives are more determined to
carry out certain defined policies
than to elect any particular man.
He charged that the machine has
attempted to override the people by
renominating President Taft, who he
Bald is. not wanted.
After praising Senator La Follette,
Governor Johnson endorses Col.
Roosevelt, saying:
"Four years ago Colonel Roosevelt
turned over to his successor the re
publican party at the high tide of its
success, when it was entrenched in
the confidence of all.
"Today, with its record of the past
three years, the republican party Is
at ebb, with confidence sadly shak
en. "With but rare exception it is only
where progressivism has been victor
ious that state governments are yet
republican and to conti.nue with' a
leader whose three years of power
wrought such disaster would mean
only political suicide.
"Clear cut, therefore. Is the situa
tion. Shall the people rule? Shall
Roosevelt, their choice, be nominat-
: ed or shall republicans court defeat
by the nomination of one whoso trust
eeship has krecked the party?
"We of the wesf are for Colonet
Roosevelt and the progressive rolicles
he represents."
