A DANGEROUS MEASURE
One of the most dangerous mea
sures which has been Introduced at
the present session of the legislature
ii the Zednlck bill, which provides
for the appointment of cm* commis
sion to manage the affairs of all the
state educational institutions. It is
dangerous because, at first glance, it
appears to be so plausible that there
Is a possibility of its passage.
Undtr the present system the state
university, the state college and each
of the three normal scjiools is man
aged by a separate board of regent!,
r the members of which are appointed
by the governor subject to confirma
tion by the state senate.
These regents receive no compen
sation for their services except their
actual expense incurred in attend
ing the occasional regular or special
meetings of the boards, and the sat
isfaction derived from the efficient
and faithful discharge of their du
ties. This kind of compensation
does not appeal to any but broad
minded and patriotic men, who do
the work because they love it ana
because they are deeply interested
in the educational development of
the state.
Under the plan proposed in the
Zednick bill all of these boards of
regents are to be abolished and the
management of the several Institu
tions entrusted to one commission,
the members of which are to draw
per diem pay and expenses while dis
charging their duties. As the man
agement of the five institutions
would require considerable time and
many trips of Inspection, it is ob
vious that positions on the commis
sion might be sought, not for the
sake of the honor, but for the sake
of the cash remuneration.
The pay would not be sufficient to
appeal to busy men of affairs, but
would be large enough to arouse the
cupidity of small politicians, the class
of citizens who would not hesitate
to drag partisanship into their ad
ministration and try to.turn the ed
ucational Institutions into political
machines.
Under the present system there Is
a wholesome rivalry between the sev
eral boards of regents in the man
agement and development of each
institution. Under one commission
this rivalry would be destroyed and,
should a majority of the commis
sioners happen to be prejudiced in
favor of any one institution, all the
others would suffer.
There does not appear to bo a
single valid argument In defense of
the bill, it can not be advocated,
either, on the ground of economy or
°'. increased efficiency. The high
class of men now serving as regents
°h the several boards and the suc
cessful development of the institu
tions under their charge afford a
convincing demonstration of the
w isdom of the present system.
DESERVES SUPPORT
The Pullman Cemetery associa
tion, which has recently been organ
ized by the ladies of this city, de
serves the hearty support of the
community. The object of tlie op
ganization is to Improve and beau
tify the cemeteries of the city, a
*ork of love, which has been sad
ly neglected in the past. It is, and
•hould be, a source of comfort to
6,1. who have lost relatives or
Mends, to know that tho last rest
,nE place of their dear ones Is
' °eautiful and well kept. It does not
•Peak, well for the civic pride of
Pulln_an that its burial places are
devoid of shade trees and flowers
and green turf.
The ladies have decided to remedy
this condition and for that purpose
have perfected an organization, with
Mrs. E. w. Downen as president.
They propose to raise funds with
which to beautify and provide for
the proper care of the local "cities
of the dead," and have a right to ask
for and expect the hearty co-opera
tion of all citizens in the good work.
If every one will help just a little
the ladies can carry out their pres
ent plans, which Include the extend
ing of the city water mains to the
Odd Fellows cemetery; the develop
ing of a water supply from springs
for the Frew cemetery; the planting
of trees, shrubs and flowers in both.
With a supply of water available it
will be possible to transform these
dreary and sunburnt plots into green
and shady resting places for the
loved ones who have gone to their
long sleep.
The ladies are asking for but very
little help. Any man can become an
honorary member of the association
by handing the secretary, Mrs.
Archer, the sum of one dollar, and
any woman can become an active
member by paying one dollar as an
initiation fees and one dollar a year
as dues. No better investment could
be found for such a small sum of
money, considering the comfort it
will bring to many sorrowing hearts,
and the permanent improvement it
will mean to the city.
The citizens of Pullman should
show their appreciation of this good
work by offering their support with
out waiting to be asked.
DISCREDITING WHOM?
When Governor Lister was mak
ing his campaign for election he
promised the voters that if they gave
him the opportunity he would give
them an economical administration
and would endeavor to keep down
•the appropriations ami thereby re
duce the taxes. They elected him
and he is making good his pledge.
This week he vetoed the bill increas
ing the public highway levy, now
one-half mill, to one and one-half
mills. In his veto message he said:
"I herewith return house bill No.
389 without my approval. In con
sidering this measure it has ap
peared to me advisable also to take
Into consideration house bill No. 379,
Which has already passed the house,
providing for a levy of two and one
half mills for the permanent high
way fund, expended by the commos
sloners of the various counties.
"A two and one-half mills levy for
this fund would amount to approxi
mately $2,500,000 per annum. A
one and one-half mills levy, under
hill No. 339, the one I now return,
would amount to approximately
11,500,000 per annum, making a
total of $4,000,000 per annum, or
$8,000,000 during a biennial period.
"While personally I am strongly
in favor of the construction of good
roads, I do not feel that present con
ditions justify expenditures so large
at this time.
"I hope it may be possible to fix
levies covering each of the funds so
that it will not be necessary at each
succeeding session either to Increase
or decrease them. Having this In
mind, I would suggest that It ap
pears to me a levy of one mill for
the public highway fund would be an
amount you would be justified in
considering favorably. For the per
manent highway fund I would favor
a levy of one and one-half mills in
stead of two and one-half mills.
"Should the amounts be fix« d m
suggested by me the revenue would
amount to approximately $2,500,000
per annum. in considering this mat
ter it is well to keep in mind tbe fact
that the present levy produced % a
revenue of only $1,500,000 per an
num.
"I realize* the great benefit good
roads are la the development of a
suae, but can not feel there is suf
ficient justification 10 provide at this
time an Increase of $2,600,000 per
annum for this purpose. In taking
th. position I do 1 feel the good
roads movement would be better
served in providing for a reasonable
lease at this time than by mak
ing an excessive levy and possibly in
two or four years, on account of the
high rate of taxation, having the
levies cut off entirely."
A majority of the taxpayers of tin
state will agree that his position is
well taken and that his arguments
are sound. A member of the legis
lature is quoted as having said, in
urging the- house to pass the bill over
the veto, that they wanted to make
Lister the most discredited governor
that the Btate has ever had. The
members of the legislature who as
sent to this program had better look
out, or in two rears they will be dis
credited by their constituents. The
people are back of the governor in
his fight for economy, and will make
it known as soon as they have an
opportunity. The legislators who
are advocating extravagant appropri
ations are- discrediting themselves
instead of discrediting the governor.
W. S. C. REGENTS
TAKE A WISE SUP
During the last month there have
been numerous and vigorous criti
cisms on the administration of Presi
dent Bryan at the State College. They
have been more in the nature of in
nuendoes and intimations, as of who
should say: "1 could tell something
dreadful, if—" than of outright
charges, But the nature of the at
tack has made it more- difficult to
deal with than open assertions would
have been.
The board of regent! at its meet
ing on Wednesday de-alt with the
trouble in the right way. It had pre
viously served notice that it would
hear charge!, but that these must be
made in writing and Investigated in
the open, with representatives of the
press and the public present. At the
meeting it. adhered to this announced
course and refused to let charges be
presented to it privately behind
closed doors. ■
This was the just and wise pro
cedure to follow. The public is in
tolerant Of star chambers. If in -i
case of this kind accusations can not
be made and backed in public, the
necessity for privacy casts discredit
on the sufficiency and justice of the
charges.
Publicity is the proper thing when
officials of a public institution are
under fire. Privacy of investigation
would only work mischief.—Spokane
