: 66° THE people of this state expect some real, constructive work by this legislature. That means hard, constructive effort from every member of house. People are also looking to this legislature for a reduction of the tax burden.” These blunt, plain truths were delivered to the representa- tives Monday by Mark Reed, speaker. Similar counsel was given state senators by Lieut. Gov. Coyle. These leaders are right, dead right. The people! do expect constructive, progressive legislation. They do expect economies in government, and they do expect tax reform. The legislature will be judged, not on the flowery advance promises of its leaders, but on what it DOES. its nt ~ tare AAR RAARARAAAAAAAARAARARARAARARAL AS AARARRAARARRAAR ARRAN ARR ARR AD nnnnannthnnm ee two h to One ring win ing WEATHER i Wede The paper with a 15,000 daily circulation lead over its nearest competitor «orl The Seattle Sta Mr. 1090 un by Mati, #8 ree slay, rain lored At the Postofficn at Keatiie under the Act of Congress Maro 8, Per Toor ~ SEATTLE, WASH,, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1923.
