ARGUMENT FOR

Initiative Measure No.3.

STATE·WIDE PROHIBITION.

FACTS. NOT THEORIES.

The best argument for or againstStale-Wide Prohibition is the experi·ence of a State that has tested it out.The statisUcs and statements of factsherein shown can easily be verified byaddressing Governor Geo. H. Hodges,Topeka, Kansas. and enclosing postage.Kansas has bad prohibition for thirty(30) years anti under it in spite of ag­ricultural disaster, so frequent in ear­lier )'ears as to give Jt the name of"Bleeding Kansas," has become therichest state per capita in the Union.Assessed valuation is $1,750.00 percapita. Assessed valuation of Mis­souri. a license stale adjoining Kan­sas, is I~ss than $300.00 per capita.Kansas has bank deposits of $120.00per capita; 1\Iil:lsouri, $20.00 per capita.Kansas under prohibition spends $1.48per capita for liquor; Missouri underlicense spends $24.00 per capita. Everyman, woman and child in Kansas hasjllst $22.52 more to spend for food,clothing, education and entertainmentthan the Missourian. In Kansas onef:t.rmer in fh·e owns an auto; in Mis­souri, one in one hundred. In Mis­souri common labor receives $8.00 l)erweek In Kansas $14.00 per week.Why? In Missouri there are 4,000 sa­loons into which the people pay EightyMillions Dollal's per year. In Kansasthere are no saloons. Kansas createswealth faster than any state in theUnion. The state ta.x rate is $1.04 on$1,000. In Washington the State tax is$8.06 on $1.000.00. Kansas has 105counties. Eighty-seven have no in·sane; ninety-six have no inebriates;fifty·four bave no feeble minded; fifty­three no prisoners in jails; sixty-fiveno pr!soners In the penitentiary. Kan­sas h:ls practically no paupers and asa consequence the poor farms :0 forty­nine counties have been turned intoeXI>erimt>nlal stations under the con­trol at the State Agricultural Collegeand arp called Prosperity Farms.Kansas dpath rate is seven in one thou·smd. Missouri, seventeen.

The Korth American (Philn.) says,"Something is the matter with Kan­sas," It is round in the clause in herConstitution which reads: "The man­ufacture and sale at Intoxicating liquorshall be torever prohiblted in thisstate, It is thIs ·defiance ot what otherstates have lebralized as a "necessary"evil that has helped to malie her citi­zens the richest per Cnl)lta in the coun­try and the richest ot any agriculturalfolk In the world; that has given her apermanent school tund at $10,000,000and has reduced her Hliteracy to analmost negligible quantity. It Is thisinsistence upon what slaves of customalways have sneered at as "impracti­cal," that has given her a balance ofmore than"'a million and a quarter inher state treasury and no bonded debt,save $370,000 held by the permanentscbool fund; tbis alone that makes pos­sible the statement that 98 per cent. other 400,000 school children never haveseen a saloon. Yes; something's thematter with Kansas. Of what it isthere can be no doubt in the mind ofany unprejudiced observer. And inview at the effect in the Sunflowerstate, there is little wonder that an in­creasing number or persons believe thatthis nation wlll be past the most dan­gerous rocks in its course when thething that Is the matter witb Kansasis the matter with every square mileof territory from Eastport to San 01·ego and from Walla Walla to Key"·est:'

ProhibItion In WashIngton wouldmean increased wealth, low taxes andprosperIty just as It has in Kansas.

STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION COM·MITTEE OF WASHINGTON.

STATE OF WASElIXGTOK--88.Fl.Ied In the office of tbe Secretary ot

State, June 23, 1914.1. M. BOWE.LL. Secret8.rJ of State.

Argument Against Initiative Measure No.3.STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION.

FACTS, NOT THEORY.The· State-wide Prohibition Commit~

tee of Washington, in its official argu­ment in behalf of Initiative MeasureNo.3, gIves what purports to be statis­tics concerning conditions in Prohibi­tion Kansas. These alleged statisticsaTe taken from speeches made by Gov­ernor Hodges and Attorney GeneralDawson of Kansas, leaders and cam·paIgners in the cause of prohibition.

The figures quoted are not takenfrom any recognized authority and donot state the facts.

They will be taken up in this an­swer in the order in which they areset forth in the argument for the bill.

The true value of all wealth, b3tstates per capita, in 1904, the latest re­port available, is found on page 44 ofthe Special Report of the Director ofCensus on Wealth, Debt, and Taxation.Kansas is there credited witb $1,468.Washington had $1,806 at the sametime. In Kansas only $44 per capitawere exempt from taxes, while theWashington exemptions totaled $112per capita. The true value of all prop­erty in Missouri was $1,147 per capitawith per capita exemptions of $49.

The report of the comptroller of thecurrency up to June 4, 1913, the latestfrom the government presses, page 49,shows total bank deposits in Kansasper capita of $100.12 with $4.12 percapita in savings banks. On the sameday Missouri had total deposits percapita of $137.43 with $12.50 in sav­ings; Washington, $129.82 total depos­its and $37.62 savings.

Kansas with l,7::l2,OuO persons, gov­ernment estimate, had 39,881 automo­biles on June 30, or one for each 44.9persons. Washington with 1,362,000persons on the same day had 36,405 au­tomobiles or one for each 3'1.4 persons.

There is no way to tell how muchKansas spends per capita for liquor asthe bootleggers do not l.:eep books, butKansas people do ship in liquor w~ich

15 registered under the law, and thereports tned with the county clerksshow total registered indIvidual ship·ment3 of 18,000,000 quarts of liquor in1913, mostly whiskey.

Insanity in Kansas has more thandoubled durin~ twenty years of Prohi­bition. In 1890 Kansas had 88.4 insanepersons for each one hundred thousandof its population. In 1910 it had in-

creased to 172.2 (See page 76 of lbeStatistical Abstract of the UnitedStates for 1912) and on June 1st, 1914,the number was 202.4. (Report Kan­sas State Board of Control.)

The facts are that in 1913 Kansashad 4,883 inmates in its county jalIs.(Reports of County SheriJI3, 1913.)In June, 1914, Kansas had 892 peniten­tiary inmates and Washbgton 666.Kansas had 385 reformatory inmatesand 'Washington 332. Kansas had 3,·427 insane and 'Washington 2,719.Kansas had 448 juvenile delinquentsand Washington 308. (Figures takenfrom reports of the State Board of Con­trol, Kansas, and State Board of Con­trol, Washington.)

According to a table on page 73 of.the Statistical Abstract of the UnitedStates for 1912 paupers per 100,000 inalms houses on January I, 1910, were:Kansas 43.5, Alabama 34.7, Florida 27.5,Louisiana 11.3, Minnesota 33.1, Idaho29.8, So. Dak. 24.8 and 'Vyoming 13.

Kansas Is not in the registrationarea, hence the death rate is an un­known quantity. The death rate ofMissouri is 13.1 instead of 17 and'Vashington is 8.9, the lowest In theUnion.

Nebraslm, Colorado, 'Washington, Or­egon and California all exceed KansasIn per capita expenditures for educa­tional purposes. Kansas per capita is$25.63; Washington, $49.36; Nebraska,$28.45; Colorado, $33.60; Oregon,$49.29; California, $51.87. (See pages118 and 119 of the Statistical Abstractof the United States for 1912.)

The State-wide Prohibition Commit·tee in its official argument in behalf ofInitiative Bill 1\0. 3 gives only one au­thorit)', Governor Hodges of Kansas.and he is a rabid ProhibitionIst.

In this answer the statistics givenare taken from the latest availableStatistical Reports of the Census Bu­reau of the United States Government,the highest authority in existence, andfrom Offic!al State Records. ThIs stateis big enough to decide its own ques­tion without haYing to go to the Gov­ernor of Kansas for dictation. The cit­izens of the State of Washington nreinvited to address him for such verifi­cation. Governor Hodgps may there­fore be called upon to answer 350,000inquIries, the Voting population of the

J4 A'"gument Against Initiative Measure No. :J

Stale of Washington. He could notpossibly personally answer more than100 inquiries per dar. It is thereforeevident that the answers have been al­ready prepared by tbe Anti-SaloonLeague.

A pampblet used by the Anti-SaloonLeague and circulated throughout theState. is evidence of tbe methods usedb)" Ole opposition. The man labeledthe "Finished Product" was foundafter the entire stale had been scourednn~ ~'as made drunk on liquor boughtand paid for and served to him by theAnti-Saloon League. They got himdrunk and then took his picture.

Initiative Bill Ko. 3 would destrortaxable properly in this state worthmore than $17.000,000; wipe out anannual pay roll of more than $8,000,·000; would destroy revenues and taxesof $2,600.00U; destroy a hop crop soldlast year for $1.320.000 and valued' this~'ear at $1,800,000, an jndustrv emplo~'­

Ing 15,000 people, an annual 'malt andbarler crop of 3,200,000 bushels, $800,­000 worth of which is used locally; de­preciate the value of 216,000 acres ofbarley lands and G,500 acres of hoplands. causing a loss of more than $2,­000,000; would lose to the btate morethan $2,000,000 for 300,000 Larrels ofbeer brewed here and sold in otherstates and countries; would lose to bus­iness $12,OUO,000 now spent annually intrade channels; and' would tbrow' 8­300 lllen out of employment and d~­prlve 33,200 otlier persons dependenton them of their bread and butter.

The loss In values caused by such alaw 'Would reach the stupendous totalof $43,000,000 in a single year.

This is not a fight for or againsttemj,lerance. Temperance and prohibi­tion nre not the same, Temperance isse!f enforced. Prohibition is force ap­pIled uy one set of individuals to oragainst another set. The question atissuE' is not moral, for no attempt ismade by tb Is bIll to prevent the use ofliquor. To the contrary it is encour­aged under f'ection 15, which prOVidesthat every person of legal age may Be­('ure one half gallon of liquor or 12quarts of beer every twenty days.• To the individual the bill says:

• You may bave all the liquor you wantbut you must not spend your money atborne. You may bave a case of beerevery twenty days, but it must not bemade by Washington labor from Wash·

ington grown barley at' hops in a'Vashington brewery."

To the 8,300 men at work in theliquor industry the Prohibitionist BaYS'"You must find employment in othe~lines. Go oul and be barbers, carpen·tel's, plumbers, teamsters, waiters,clerks, hod carriers and brIck layers,"and this in a state whose labor marketis already seriously overcrowded.

Washington bas a local option lawtoday under which communities canel1minate the saloon where such actionis favored by a majority aud this al­ready lias been done. The licensed sa·loons in the cities are under constantpolice supervision and public observa­tion; remove tbem and the traffic inthis state would be driven to secrethaunts as it Js in Kansas and Maine to­day. Prohibitory laws do not removethe appetite for liquor. They merelY('bange the channel through ~-hicb tbesupply Is received.

IniUati\'e Bill No. 3 would destro\'pollee supervision and public observa·tion of the liquor lrame. Initiative BiUNo.3 would place a premium on crime.It would make liars and perjurers ofmen and women as similar legislationhas done in other states.

Between the years 1900 and 1910 thepopulation of Kansas increased only15 pel' cent., while during tbe sameperiod the population of 'Vasbingtonin'creased 120 per cent.

ProhIbitIon's impracticability is nota question for assertion but fact. An~'

of liquor consumed, favor state wideprohibition."

Prohibition is immoral, being basedon false assumptions that man can belegisla:ed into morality. As Rev. P.G. OUn'y said, North American Review,Dec., 1908, "to place the blame on thething abused, and net Oil the abuserIs to avoid the whole question." More.over, whenever the use of alcohol hasbeen prohibited the use or dangerousand deadl}' drugs has increased. Rev."T. A.

You can get drunk on any liquor un­der this bill. Sec. 4, 15. 1G providesthat any adult can buy hait a gallonof spirits or 12 quarts or beer e\"Cry.20days to drink in his home or give toguests.

The Idea of calling such a bill a pro­hibition law Is absurd. It Is full otholes and leaky as an old sieve.

A.r4ument Against Initiative Measure No.3.HONEST FACTS IN OPPOSITION.

The History of prohibition. in stateswhere it bas been tested. is such that,if proper consideration were given thesubject, fel\' persons would vote for in·ltIaUve BlII No.3, whIch should beproperly entitled "An act in favor ofbrewerIes located outside of the state.and against those within the state em·ploylng labor here, livIng here. and pay­ing taxes here."

This bill imposes upon Ute citizen,who uses liquor as a beverage, and DOtto ex('Ps~. a restriction that wtll engen­der disregard for this bill itself, andcisrt>spert for laws in general.

It is unneces'sary and vidons legisla­tion, as the State of ·Washington. basa local option law, under which anycommunity may eliminate the saloon,where such an action is desired b)' amajorit~·. Initiative BllI Xo. 3 woulddestroy local self·government, which isdear to the heart of every Americanand represents the basic prInciples qtour Constitution.

On April 7th of this year PresidentWilson reiterated his declaration madeto Rey. Thomas B. Shannon, of l"'ew­ark. Kel\' Jer3e)', "I am In favor of lo­cal option. and I am a thorough be­lie\'"er in local self·government, and be­lieve that eYery self-go,-erned communi­t~·. which constit.utes a soci~l unit,should have the rIgbt to control thematter ot the regulation or the with­balding of license."

Section 15 of the Anti-Saloon BfIl No.3 pro"ides for the purcbase at moreliquor outside at the state and the shIp­ment of the same Into the state than isat present drank withIn the state. butDO provision Is ma'<ie for the manufac­ture within the ~tate. The Anti-SaloonLeague makes 3mple provisIon for theimporiaUon into the state ot liquor orall kinds but makes it a crime to manu­facture beer ""Itbin the state.

The State of Washington is, geo­graphically, parUcularly adapted to themanufacture of beer. owing to the highquallt~· of bops and barley grown with­in its borders. WashIngton breweriel)manufacture It. quality of beer that Issf'('ond to none In the 'World, and havehuHt up an export business valued atover $:.'.ooo.ono annuall)', and bring thatf:UIn back Inio this totate to be paid outin wages for labor. to circulate and addto the wealth of the state.

Even' chamber of commertc and

commercial club witbin tbis state ismaking an earnest endeavor to induceimmigration and to secure additionalcapital for public enterprises. Theadoption of this law would force overthirty thousand men out of employ·ment, and compel them to leave thestate or to seelt werle along other lines,which are now overcrowded.

The prohibitionists quote Kansas asa model prohibition state, and rely up­on their perverted facts and figures toestabl1sh the alleged beneficial effectso! prohibition. The report of theComptroller of the Currene)'.

I. )1. HOWELL, Secretar;r or State.

Argument Against Initiative ~Ieasure No.7.

The Bureau of Inspection and Su­pervision of Public Offices Is the onlysafeguard between the taxp:lyers andthe official who spends the taxp:lyer'smoney. It is tbe only authoritY em·powered to check receipts and dIs­bursements of public funds and insureproper accounting of the same.

The examlnatlons to April 1, 1914.THealed tbe following: Illegal claims.officers contractlng with themselYes'incounties, cities and towns, school androad districts. $739.745.00; shortages.$603,993.69; Interest on bank depOSItsnot coUected. $5,975.83; total, $1,349,­714.52. or this the bureau collected$289,954.[;7 in cash and returned it totbe public treasury. Cost of audits toApril 1, 1914, $220.219.30. Amount re­covered over cost ot audit, $69.735.27.The uncollected claims are now in the

.bands ot the Attorney General.Many illegal p~actices were un·

covered. Licenses, franchise taxes andmany other revenues were not collect­ed, embezzlements, forgeries and pad·ded payrolls were found and a lack ofsystem everywhere. Where contractorshad been paid Wlel local Improvementbonds they had illegally received inthree years $340,000 of accrued inler­est earned by the l>onds before the con·tractor was entitled to payment. Thispractice has been stopped and suitsare pending for the recovery of theamounts not already collected.

The bureau was organIzed June 10,1909. The ,,-'arrant debt of the schooldistricts at that time was $3,212,856.95.With an average attendance of 142,275pupils, this made a per capita ......arranldebt at $22.58. Through Its etrorts thisdebt has been reduced to $2,039,589.15,with an average attf;ndance of 169,441pupils or a per capita debt of $12.03.

It found over $1,600,000.00 road war·r~nts issued in excess ot legal l1mlta·lions. ProvisIon was made tor the re­tirement ot tWs debt 'and a limit fixed,wLicn the bureau enforces, and roadi:r.debtedness is a thing of the past.Interest saved on these two items aloneamounts to more than $166,000.00 perannum.

There are 56 state departments andinstitutions, 2654 school districts. 39counties, 204 cities and towns, 7'2 town·ships, 2i2 road districts, 4 port dIs­tricts, and numerous drainage and dik·in~ distrIcts, besides several thousandlocal Impro\'ement districts. T:.te lawrequires that townships, ciUes, towns

and school districts shnll be audited"at least once tn every two rears andall other examinations shall be madeat least once .:l year." A full report ofeach examination must be filed withthe accounting officer of the district ex­aLined. the State Auditor and the At·torney General. UnIform syst~ms of ac·counting must be maintained in alloffices of the same class and compara·live statistics must bp compiled a:ldpublished annually.

Under Initiative Measure No. j allthe foregoing duties remain unchangedunder the directIon of thp state audit­or but must be performed n'lth theridiculous force of three clerks.

Argument Against Initiative :M:easure No.7.SUBMiTTED BY TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION OF TACOMA.

Initiative Measure No. 7 wouldabolish the Bureau cf Inspection andSupervision of Publlc Offices.

It doE's net change that part of t~e

law which prescribes the dulles to iJeperformed ..,y tbe Bure2.u. The \\-orkremains the same.

It takes 3 members af the Bureauand 20 state examiners to do the workrequired by the law. The initiativemeasure ·prop'Jses to have thIs workdone br not more than three men whowilt each get a salary of not more than$1800 per ,"CEoI' and travelIng expenses.On its face tbis looks like a saving,.but it 15 in r",ct sllnply a waste offunds.

The law requires taat over 4000taxing distrirts. not counting local im·provement districts, must be examinedeach j"C'al'. How can this be done by 3men. The initiative measure is absurdwhen you. consider it as a practical in­stl'U::1ent.

ncmembet that thcze examInations£ 1 C not a mere checking of accountsfor that part of the law wbicb remainsunchanged provides "On ever)' suchcJ(:aminaUon inquiry shall be made asto tbe finao'Cial condition and resourcesof the t.&xing district; whether theCOllstir1d!on and stat1lt01l1 laws of thestate, the ordinances and orders of thefe.),:"'19 district and the requirementsof thc bureau of inspection and super­"Vision of public offices have been .prop­erly r-omplled with and into the meth­ods nud accuracy of the accounts andreports."

Initiative Measure No, 7 destroysthe wIlDIe law by making it impo6sibleof being enforced.

Do you want to know whether theccnsUtution and str.tutory laws of thest'lte or the ordinances of your cityare being properly compIled with? Thepresent Bureau taw gives you that op­portunity. Yote for Initiative MeasureKo 7 and ~'ou destroy the mean~ ofgetting that information.

The politician "'ants t11e Bureaua'holisbetl_ 'Vby'! Because he OO€sn't'WllDt you to know how .he is obeyingthe constitution or statutory laws o!the state.

When Y(lU hear n.n office holder talk·lug about abolishing the Bureau, l(loltup his record.

The prespnt Bureau law affords the(luly medium through which the tax­payer and voter can secure informa­tion as to the manner in which thepubUc business' is being conducted.

I t Is the only safeguard affordedthe taxpayer.

Argument A~8jDSt Initiative Measure No.8.

The advocates of this measure inferthat there is now no regulation of pri·vate agencies. The agencies are nowworking under strict city ordinances.under direct supervision of labor com­missioners, and each' under $1,UOObond. Licenses can be revoked or sus­pended at any time, and if there areunreliable agencies the fault must liewith the labor commissioners and thecity councils.

There is no greater percentage ofunworthy men in the employmentagency business than in any otherprofession.

The private agency guarantees thoposition, and in caseE:: of failure to sup·ply it, the fee and fare paid to andfrom the place of employment is reoturned. The free agency guaranteesnothing, and wbere thep6 is any mis­take and the applicant does not securethe position, he is out expenses whichhe cannot afford to ~ose.

This act would wipe out a businesswhich has taken years to build up andshould be considered from the stand­point of actual facts rather than by anappeal to prejudice.

What system will perform the workor the private agency? The public freeagency will not. As proof of this wequote from the 13th Annual ReportLabor Statistics, Illinois Free Offices,David Ross, Sec., PP. 7,-S:

"It is supposed that the assumptionof the state and at its expense, the­"'ork of the employment bureaus wouldeliminate the occupation of the privateemployment agent, and that people inneed of employm.ent would prafer topatronize a state office where the serv­ice is free rather than pay fees chargedb:' the private employment agents..... *In fact, there are more private employ­ment agell.cies now than before thestat:e entered the business. .. ... Thestrictly commercial agencies transactfully 90 per cent. ot the entire business.One single agency was the means ofsecuring .. *'.. over one-third morethan the sIx free employment officesconducted by the state. * • .. Thesecomparative figures by no means provethat the effort of the state in thIs di·rection has failed, .. .... but they doserve to direct attention to the essen­tially different methods of meeting therequirements of the labor market; and

the mistaken notions ot those whosupposed that a few offices maintainedby the state, could under any c!rcum­fDtances be capable of handling a situ­ation such as that developed in an in­dustrial center *' * * where each of agreat numb~r of privately conductedoffices are catering to a parLiculal' 1)usi­ness, fortified by years of experienceand special equipment in its line. How­ever,. discouraging ..s it may be to theenthusiastic advocate or governmentfunctions, it is impossible for oneagency, however benevolently disposed",to do the work of a hundred."

Second paragraph, page 2, Illinoisreport:

"The six state offices show therewere 69,827 positions secured, The po­sitions secured during the year were ata cost of 71 cents each to the state."

On the basis of llUnois' expm-ience,the "Washington ta:... payers would haveto par more. than $250,000 to performthe same work now done by the lJrivateagencies. There are approximately100 employment a~cncies in Washing­ton.

For years the larger cities of thestate and benevolent associations haveconducted free employment agencies,yet the private agencies have flourishedand grown with the other industries of"Washington. This is proof positivethat the free agency does not meet tbedemand of the laborers. Industrialhistory shows positive necessity for ameans of bringing employer and em­ployee together.

The unorgall:zed laborers, reprE'sent­iug 70 per eent of the labor world,would lose the only me:lns of findingemployment should this measure be­come a law. The free public agenciesh::,ve become recruiting stations for theLJnicns and for that rea,son measuresof this sort are always urged by so..c:1l1ed labor leacers.SEATTLE EMPLOYMENT AGE~TS

.269.0019.8

In 1910 the governor ot the state ap­pointed a committee to draft a com­pensation act. Which committee wagcomposed of representatives of capitaland labor. In 1911 tbis committee pro­posed a bill containing a Frst Aid pro­vision. In 1913 a similar bilt was pro­posed b)' the representatives of laber,both bills providing that the cost offirst aid should be borne equally by thee:nplorer and the employee.

If the bllls proposed In 1911 and1913. as above stated, were fair andsatistactory to the employee, what Isthe reason for now Imposing the entirE"cost of first aid on the employer, asproposed by Initiative Measure i'o. 9?

The question of first aid is morecomplex than the whole subject cover­el by the WOTl~men'f; CompensationLaw.

This very fact Is appareut whenyou consider that when the Work­men's Compensation Act was passed h3'the Legislature of 1911, the First Aidfeature was omitted because no correctsolution of the dimcultles could beworked out. For the same reason, thebJIl proposed in 1913 failed to pass andalso upon the advice of the Chairmanof the Industrial Insurance Commis­sion, who could not secure suffi.cientdota to enable the Legislature to in­tell1gently act upon the subject.

Another reason no First Aid lawhas been enacted is because a practicalJaw providing for surgical and medicalattendance and hospital service in caseof injuries cannot be drawn that al­lows the injured worl:man to choosehIs own physic,an and compels thestate or employer to pay for the serv­tee, until the state passes a law ful:ioguniform physicians', surgeons' andhospital compensation for servIce ren­dered and bing the l1abU! - of thestate and employer.

Initiative Measure 1\0. 9 providesno limit on the amount of the assess­ment which can be leVied on any In­dustry for First Aid purposes. Thecost of these services ia paid as fol­lows:

15t. $100.00 by the employer in~those plant the Injury occurs;

2nd. Any further funds used to ac­ccmpllsh recovery is taken from thectass In the accident fund to which theemployer belongs. No llmlt is placedupon the sum that can be used.

The employer Is arbitrarlly as­sessed, but has no voice In the dispo·sition of the Cund. This will encouragecollusion and fraud between the un·principled emplo)'ee and the party fur­nishing treatment and supplies. It theemploree carelessly contributes to hisown Jnjur)', he bears no share of theburden, ignoring all "laws of safety"and Individual responsibility.

This provision is so vicious, drasticand confiscatory that J[ passed, has thepossibIlity of placing the industries ofthis state under such a handicap as tolie beyond successful competition with:liher states, or the markets of theworld.

The proposers of tbls measure en­title their bill: "An act to encourageindustrIal safety"-whereas no safetyprovisions are contained In the meas­ure. ThIs attempt to secure popularsupport by using a title which willdraw on the sympathies oC the votersdeserves rebuke at the poBs and deCeato[ the measurt'.

Employees are tully protected underthe present laws by the Factory Insper·Uon Act and by the powers given theCommissioner of Labor, whose duty itis to see that all mms, mines and fac­tories are inspected and to see that allmachinery Is safe-guarded.

Tbis act assumes tbat Industrial ac·c1dents are due entirely to failure onthe part of the employer to provideproper safeguards. It avoids the factthat a large class of accidents are a'b-osolute1y non-preventable even where aUsafeguards required hy the state areproperl3" Installed. Labor Commis­sioner E. W. Olson, in a handbook is­sued March, 1914, says: "A workmanwho is reckless in his movements is asdangerous around a workshop as anunguarded machine!' The statisticsor the Industrial Commission for 1913show as follows:

Fault NumberWorkman's......... 951Fellow servant's 303Employer's 90Foreman's _. . . 12Thbd person's...... 30Risk of Trade 8,543Not ascertainable 2,451

12,380 100,00It will be seen that the workman's

fault and the fellow servant's fault to-

Argument Again.'1t Initiative JlfeaRuTc No.9 33

tal ten per cent. whereas the em­ployer's fault and the foreman's faultcombined total less than 1 per cent.,the greater fault lying with the work­man. There is an inherent risk in allhazardous employment that Is beyondhuman control; otherwise it would notbe hazardous employment.

The experience of over thirty for­eign governments covering an extend­ed period of time, as well as the limit­ed experience of 18 states of the Unl·ted States having compensation laws,justifies the inevitable conclusion thatthere should be some reasonable limiton the cost of First Aid not only as tothe amount involved, but as to thetime in which such aid should COll'tinue, bearing in mind the present con­tinuous payment of compensation inaddition to such First Aid.

Section 4 of the bill vrovldes: "Tht>pecuniary liabll1t}' of the employer orat the Accident Fund for the medical.surgIcal and hospital service herein re·quired shall be limi~ed to such charger.as prevail in the same community forsImilar treatment of injured persons ofa like standurd of livIng when suchtreatment is paid for by the injuredperson."

Just what standard it provides isimpossible to state. Does it mean thatthe common laborer getting $2.00 perday and the sawyer or filer getting$7.00 per day, injured in exactly thesame way, shall receive dIfferent treat·ment?

Every hazardous industry in Wash­ington has proper provisions for caringfor the injured and taking care of thesick with suitable hospitals and aI'­rane-ements for competent doctors andnurses. Other employers have similararrangements where possible. Em­ployees by paying $1.00 per month al·ereceiving medical attention and has·pital care both in case of accident andsickness,

Eighty per cent. of the employeesin Washington now enjoy the protec­tion of varIous hospital and beneficialassociations, Records show that a! the

funds paid into these associationsseventy-five per cent. is spent on ca.seaof sickness and only twenty·five percent. on cases of accident. Should theproposed First Aid bill be enacted. tht>employee will lORe all the benefits nowreceived in case of sic.kne~s to hImself.and in man)· cases to hIs family, exceptby the parment of at least 'i5 cents amonth. The tendency of the presenthospital system is to secure the mostefficient surgical service because it isto the interest of the employer that hIsinjured workmen shall be cured asspeedily as possible, therebY reducingthe ecoDomic less occasioned by theabsence of the workman from his post,It cannot be urged or claimed by anyone that in the St:lte of Washingtonemployers have not as a class felt theIrfull l'esponsibiliUes towards those theyer.lploy and have In the past and aretoday endeavoring ill eVer}' reasonableway to protect them In their work.

TakIng frOID the individual all pel'·sonal resllonsibility does not tend to abetter or higher cItizenship. Much lessIs this the czsc whell tll addition tol1eing relieved fl'om such responsibilityolle Is encouraged to cast a burden onothers.

The First Aid llllestion does notnlrme concern the employer ~nd work·man in the extrrt·hazardous occupa­tions. It Is so far· reaching in its ert'ectthat every person in the state is con­cerned.WEST COAST LUMBER MFGRS.,

Argument Against Initiative Measure No. 10.The prime purposes of Initiative

Measure No. 10, as announced by itsadvocate~. are to make belter men outof the convicts and reformatory boysby emp}oyint; them on the highways,a~d to prevent pOl"k barrel ~ppropria·

hons for road construction. In boththese regards the measure fails miser­ably, as wIll be pointed out in detail.

In this conneclion, section 4 pro­vides for sentencing convicl.ed personsto road construction work, but doesnot provide a way to confine them inthe penitentiary or reformatory SllOUldthe work be abandoned for lack offunds, or other cause. This is but oneof numerous instances in which themeasure fails to specify the detailsessential to carrying out its program.

The proposed measure permits In­termingling of convicts and reforma~

tory inmates. All camps establishedunder this proposed law are "convict"camps. Hence these DIell and boyswhom we hope to reform and makegood citizens of, when delegated toroad work under this measure areimmediately branded "convicts." '

Those states which lead in use ofconvicts on highway constructionwork; such as Colorado, Montana andothers, have found that "honor" men,taken care of in "honor" camps, arethe only efficient com'ict road crews.These men are not housed in "stock­ades" (transient pnsons)., but work inthe open like other men, on theirh~nor, receiving the benefit of openall' work and a reduction of "time"for service rendered. The st3te alreadybas a convict labor law superior to therroposed measure.

Wbile called by its sponsel's "Anti~

pork barrel" the proposed law abso­l~t7l?- does not do away with the pas­~lblhty of legislative trading, becauseIt does not designate the primary andtoecondary highways of the state nponwhich the State Road Fund (createdby the measure if voted in by thepeople) shall be applied. The entireStatp Road System can be redesig~

nated by the legislature; or any partof the present system, which is de­fined by legislative enactment, uponwhich the legislators do not feel theState Road .Fund should be applied,can be aboll~hed. Consequently tbIsproposed law does not, In the slightest,overcome the defects of the presentmethods permJtted by law, which wasthe original intent and the chief argo·

STATE OF WASHINGTON-8'.FU('d In tile office of the Secretary of

Argument Against Initiative Measure No. 13.THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

It would be hard to imagine anylegislation more hostile to the best in­terests of the farmf:r than Ulc propOsedInitiative Measure No. 13 which wouldlimit every laborer in the state to eighthours J)er day cf twentY-fuur hettI'S orfGrty-elght hOGl's :JEr week of sevendays. except th:lt in ~gricultural label'an additional two ~ours per d3'Y maybe allowed for work which is "ullavoid­abI)' and necessari:y Incidental to farmmanagewent," y.. hatever W£.: 013)' be.

The luted e·r tbe measure is clt"clr­ly to restrict field operations to ei~ht

hours !Jcr day fer :.iix days of the weekand we contend that farmlug opera­Cnns cannot be conducted successfullyunder Buch a handicap.

The farmer Is at the mercy of theelements until bis crop is in the ware­house and the dels:,>-, while waiting toran eIght hour per da;y crew to harvesthis crop, ~-ould result in Buch loss tothe farmer from shattering, lodgingand the deteriorating influences of theweather that It would spell ruin fromthe start.

Even now, it 1s orten impossible tosecure sufficient help in the harvestfields so that a scarcity of laborer;; andthe increased COst of the wages andboard for the extra men are two rea­sons that would IJrevent the emplo)-­ment of two shifts of eight hours each.

B)" this measure, the agriculturallaborer is rcslrlcted to au absolutemaximum of ten hours per <lar l:lnd nomatter what wagcs the farmer mayoffer to save threatened disaster to hiscrops or how willing the laborer lllaybe to earn the extra mone,,-, this lawprevents it, since the penally is thesame for allowing a man to work over­time as for forcing him to do so.

Thus will the working man be de­priyed by law of his right to workwhere and when he finds it to bis in­terest to do so.

This provision might necessitate thepresence in the field of a competentWitness, provided with a stop-wat.ch, toprotect the farmer from the cxtorUonor blackmail of a disgruD tied crew.

How can a fanner reed hig crewwben a cook can work but eight hoursper day, six oars in lh~ ",..eek. a~ld

when Sunday comc,. and lilc entirecrew and the cook, ha"I.1S wor;~ed theU1U)filnuJIl fol' the six <.lars or tbe weekand are thereby disqualified from lift­10':; a hand on Sundar, bow are they tobe ted?

Who will feed and water tile livesto~k, milk the cows aud do the thou·sand and one other chores requfreJ cna farm en Sundar?

The prices of most oC our agricul­tural products nre fixed by the law oft;llllPly and demand ill the market~ ofthe world aud in those ruarkets thebulk of our produce must be sold.

When this state increases the costof production or places burdensome fa-.strictions upon agrIcultural operations,tte lo£s must faU upon the tillers ofthe soil because they are unable to addthe increased cost to what the)' hll\·eto sell.

,Yhenever the cost of agriculturalproduction approaches so near the 100.1'·lwt price as to Wipe out the lJresentslender margin of profit, the [armer,representing as he does the gre:ttestnatural asset of tht: state, will beCorced out of business.

The enactment of this measuremeans ruin to agricu}[ural operationsin a state where, in view of the pres­ent high cost of living, it is easy to seethat n blow, aimed at the farmer, willhit the prosperity of our common·wealth in itl:i most vital part.

Argulllent Against Initiative Measure No. 13.THE COMPULSORY EIGHT HOUR DAY.

THIS LAW PROVIDES: "It sball b.unlawful for any p .....rson or corpora­tion to permit any male or femaleemployee in his, her or its emplo}'.to work mor.e than 8 hours duringaDy day of 24 hours, nor more thalJ48 hours during any week of 'idays."This compulsory 8-Hour Day Law

wtll destroy our present manufactur­ing, commercial, domestic and socialsystems.

'Wage earners can anI:;: work8hoursin anyone day of 24 hours and notmore tllan 48 hours in any weelc of ';'dass. Can the employee maintain hispresent standard of living on suchearntn~? Can the employer operatehis plant where no employee is per­mitted to work avel 8 hours in any dayof 24 hours, or over 48 hours in ODeweek of 7 days?

""hat about cooks, night watchmen,teamsters, timekeepers, commissarymen, etc.?

Can YOll, Mr. Traveling Man, maIn·tain yourself and family worklllg 8hours in anyone day of 24 hours andnot more than 48 hours in any week of7 days? Is it practicable? Can you ad­just your services to these conditions?Can your employer pay you a living sal­ary when your efforts are confined to8 hours in anyone day of 24 hours, or48 hours in any one ~'eek of 7 days?

Mr. Wholesaler,~reyour profits suchas to allow you to maintain two travel·ing meD, solicitors, etc. where yeu arenow using one and to enable you to paythem living salaries? ThIs is whatyou will have to do to properly solicitYOUr trade if this measure Is adopted.You are liable even if you permit anemp]o)'ee to work over 8 hours in anyday of 24 hours, or over 48 hours inan)' week at 7 days. Wil11t be possiblefor you to check up his time to geethat there is no infraction of the law?How will you protect yourself?

Mrs. Housewife, can you arrangeyour -domestic affairs so as to permityour help to work only 8 hours jn anyone day ()f 24 hours or 48 hours in anyweek at 7 days? Who will cook, takecare of the house and chlldren on the7th day, or can you hire two girls-;;here you are now using one and paythem a Hving wage?

What "I-'i:l you mothers and fathersdo in case of sickness tn your family.

wben you cannot permit a nurse towork over 8 bours in anyone dar of24 hours nor more than 48 hours inany week of 7 days? Can you takecare of your sick (unskilled in nursingthough you may be) .the other 120hours? Or, can you &.fford three nursesper week of six days and dischargethem on the completion ()f the sixthday's service and hire three more?Read the law and think about it.

The certa~n resultofInitiative Meas·ure No. 13 would_ be that the em·ployee's earning power would by lawbe reduced 20 pert~nt, and his livingexpenses increased in a like ratio.

Let no work,;,,,: Le misled into the be­lief that he w111 receive the same payfor eight hours that he now getsorthatthe industry in ,\,\'hich he Is employedcould live agaInst -the competition of theworld if it tried to maintain his pres·ent rate of par for a shorter day.

Our products must be marketed incompetition with ·.ho~e of other statesand foreign countri.es. We are nowlaboring under a four-fold handicap:viz: High freight r3tcs due to the longhaul to distant markets; oppressivelyhigh taxes; rplatively high wages, andhigh interest rates on money necessaryto carryon enterprise.

Any radical lessening of the totalenergy put into a gIven industry likeagriculture, horticultuT":!, livestock.dairying, f!shi.lg, lumber:ng. mining ormanufacturing must be followed by anequal reduction in the total amountproduced, and an inev'table increase jnthe cost of production.

"With fafr laws and just treatment,'Vashfngton will make great progress inthe development of her vast resources.This law would check her progress.

A fitting title to this measure wouldhave been: "A measu re to red uce theearning power of the people and in­crease their Cost of Living."UXITED METAL TRADES ASSN.
