Bank of Pullman
The Reason is Simple, but Sufficient
We accept your money in whatever Bums you wish, keep
it Bale and sound, subject to your order, for as long or as short
a period as you desire; and hand ii to y<>ti again ON DEMAND
in whatever Bums you request. That is the least mystifying
way we know of to explain the workings of your checking
account.
Money deposited here is always get-at-able; much more so
than if you tied it up in long time investments. Even your 4
per cent, interest bearing Savings Account and Time Certifi
cates of Deposit arc returnable to you on DEMAND and with
the interest added if the sum has been on deposit for six months
or longer.
Then another strong reason: Winn your available funds
are exhausted before your crop is ready to harvest, and you
are in need of temporary assistance, you know that your needs
will have courteous and favorable consideration by our officers
and directors.
Having established a connection here, through the medium
of a checking account; having left your surplus funds with us
during the time when you had no active employment for them,
gives you a perfect right to expect us to render you assistance
when it will be of most use to you. These rights are respected
here. Your needs are well provided for here, and your every
interest is carefully sefe-guarded.
By a full appreciation of the rights of our customers and
by a policy of helpful and courteous co-operation we are build
ing the growing business of

DIRECT LEGISLATION AND <
THE RECALL SYSTEM
] i
I
Of all the reform movements be
fore the country today, direct leg- "
islation is the most important, be
h
cause it is the master key with
which the people can unlock the .
doors to all other need) reforms.
It is not a substitute for. but a
safeguard to the present represen
tative system of government.
Through the referendum the peo- [
ple retain the power of vetoing
measures passed by then* repre
sentatives against their wishes.
Through the initiative they re- ,
i
serve the right to cure the enact
ment of laws, in case their repre
sentatives pro- recreant to the
trust imposed in them. There is
but one possible argument against
direct legislation and that is that
the people are not capable of gov
erning themselves, but the men
« ho advance it must of necessity
go further ami contend that our
government is a failure.
The direct primary system en
ables the people lo select their
candidates, instead of leaving that
important power in the hand* of
the political bosses. Direct leg
islation enables the people to
force their law makers to do their
will and the recall enables them
to discharge incompetent and un
worthy officials without resorting
to the uncertain and expensivel
formality of impeachment pro
ceedings. Bach of the systems sup
plements the other and together
they assure the people of truly
representative government.
One of the most persistent argu
ments against the direct primary
system is that it tends to break

down party lines, but few students
of the history of the nation w>"ll
deny the wisdom of Washington's
warning against political parti
sanship in his masterly farewell
address to his countrymen. The
men who are in politics for what
there is in it, opposed the adopt
ion of the Australian ballot sys
tem, because it curtailed their
power, the same class of men op
posed the direct primary system
for the same reason, and they are
today opposing direct legislation
and the recall system because
they recognize that these reforms
will put them entirely out of bus
iness.
No farmer would be willing to
delegate the power of selecting a
man to run ins ranch to sum,' pol
itician, neither would he be wil
ling to surrender the right of di
recting how the business should
be conducted, nor the power to
discharge his manager should he
prove incompetent or unreliable'
Then why should he not demand
exactly the same rights when em
ploying men to conduct public af
fairs.
Direct primaries give him the
power of selecting public offi
cials, direct legislation gives him
the power to super- and direct
their work, and the recall gives
him the' power to discharge them
if they do not prove satisfactory.
Ought not the people to possess
these powers .
A STRONG ARRAINGEMENT
Ex-Governor Hahley of Indiana
is th author of 111. following
strong argument of the liquor
traffic:
Personally, 1 have seen so much
of the evils of the liquor traffic
in the last lour years, so much of
its economic waste, so much of its
physical ruin, so much of its men
ial blight, so much of its tears and
heartache, that 1 have come to re
gard the business as one that must
be held and controlled by strung
and effective laws.
i bear no malice toward those
engaged in the business, but 1
hale the traffic.
1 hate its every phase.
i hate- it for its tolerance.
i. hate it for its arrogance.
I hate it for its hypocrisy.
1 hate it for its commercialism.
1 bate ii for its cant and craft
and false pretense.
1 hate it for its greed and av
arice.
I hate it for its sordid love of
gain at any price.
1 hate it for its domination in
politics.
1 hate it for its corrupting in
fluence in civic affairs.
.1 hate it for ils Incessant effort
to debauch the suffrage of the
country; for the cowards it makes
of public men.
I hate it for its niter disregard
of the law.
1 hate it for its ruthless tramp
ling of the solemn compacts of
state constitutions.
I hate it for the load it straps
to labor's back, for the palsied
hands it gives to toil, for its
wounds to genius, for the trage
dies of its might-have-beens
1 hale it for the human wrecks
it has caused..
I hate it for the alms-houses j
it peoples, for the prisons it fills,
for the insanity it begets, for its
countless graves in potter's fields.
1 hate it for the crimes it has
committed.
1 hate it for the homes it has de
stroyed.
I hate it for the hearts it has
broken.
I hate it for Hie malice it has
painted in the hearts of men, for
its poison, its bitterness, for the
dead fruit, with which it star 1,
their souls.
I hale it for the grief it causes
womanhood, the scalding tears,
tin; hopes deferred, the strangled
aspirations, its burdens of want
and care.
1 hate it for its heartless cruelty
to the aged, the infirm and the
helpless, for the shadow it throws
upon the lives of children, for
its monstrous injustice to blame
less little ones.
1 hale it as virtue hates vice,
as truth hates error, as righteous
ness hates sin, as justice hates
wrong, as liberty hates tyranny,
as freedom hates oppression".
1 hale it as Abraham Lincoln
hated slavery,
And as he sometimes saw in
prophetic vision the end of slavery
and the coming of the time when
the sun should shine and the rain
should fall upon no slave in all the
republic, so I sometimes seem to
see the end of this unholy traffic,
the coming of the time hen, if it
does not wholly cease to be. it
shall find no safe habitation any
where beneath "Old dory's stain
less stars.''
