KILL THE OVERNOR HART’S CODE should G senate. joker after another. FIGHT CODE CODE! be killed by the Conceived in secrecy, it now develops one Heralded as a copy of the Lowden administrative plan in Illinois, it now becomes clear that this was false adver- tisement. The Lowden plan consolidated offices, but did not assume to grant new powers to any officers or to any boards. It -did not take away the dual control of labor boards. It did not evade the constitution by raising the salaries of offi- cials whose salaries the people, by their votes, did not want raised. It did not give the governor the absolute power of appointment and salary fixing that the Hart code does. It did not give a fisheries board the power to make laws. It did not give the governor the power to remove any mem- ber of the faculty of the state university. It did not create such a ridiculous public service commission as is proposed by the Hart code—namely, the appointment of one com- missioner by the governor and the other two commission- ers by the first commissioner. * * &® HERE IS NO INDICATION in the governor’s code of any real economy. Changing the names of offices will not do it. Raising the salaries of present officials will not do it. The code will do one thing—it will create a political ma- chine for the governor such as has not been known in any state in the union. If the governor is anxious for’économies, he can produce them without the code. The legislature thousands by abolishing the state printer’ can save tens of s graft. The gov- ernor can, under the present system, carry out the pretty picture painted by his man Friday, McArdle, and have one state institution raise enough potatoes and_ other foods to supply all the state institutions. Every other economy suggested by the governor and Mc- Ardle CAN be carried out without the new code. The senate should kill the measure. Governor Hart is not a big enough man to be trusted with so much power— and McArdle is too dangerous a man. The secrecy that gave it birth, the “railroading” methods that have since been adopted, the emergency clause that is attached to it, all are significant. They Se ae perfect system, of course. But it is far others. do not look right. OR MORE THAN 30 years we have been conducting our state affairs under the present system. It is not a better than many Now comes this code, which revolutionizes the whole thing, and it is demanded on behalf of the governor that it be passed forthwith and declared an emergency so that there may be no referendum to the people. Why the emergency? Why such false and fraudulent representations? Above all, let the senate keep this in taxes represent only 7 per cent of the total. mind: The state At least that is true in King county. All the economies that might pos- sibly be accomplished by the code will be relatively small compared to the entire tax. The governor has offered nothing to reduce the other 93 per cent of our taxes. Shall we then, for an infinitesimal amount at the best, sell our birthrights, and turn over to one man such powers as have never before been enjoyed by any governor? ‘ Gentlemen of the senate, consider the SAFE LOOTED: 2 Yor Saar N NOW| The an unlocked safe | neighborhood,” argued Attorney T.| ee the apartment of |, page, defending Sam, who was Be rp “ Meented oni urged with att to wield ja knife on Mr ‘ompton Lumber Co., | ntered and | ©! of Justice 1" , Sam county jail) n from the 16 cash box was jim 1e next six months valued at $200 prot S. “PRISKED” s worth a sim > ‘Th stat demeral”” BY POLICEMAN | Ye college students aro still mirth fully regarding the adventures of two of their professors the other § light | J, W.

With bared heads the crowd on both sides of the avenue stood mo onless and sad as the three flower laden hearses passed, and as the care riages followed carrying the weep slain men.
