THE STATE COLLEGE OF
WASHINGTON
From time to time assertions have
teen made thai the State Coll. of
Washington has broadened its cur
riculum go as to include courses of
study not contemplated In the law
i) which it was founded am Infring
ing on the work' of the State Uni
versity, it has also been asserted
mat the institution was intended lo
be solely an agricultural college.
Ihese assertions have; been accepted
as correct by some people riot famil
iar with the real facts and for that
reason should be refuted. The best
way to do this is to quote from the
laws providing for the founding of
the college and the provisions gov
erning the distribution of the Hatch
and .Uorrill funds, which isions
have been accepted and ran led by
lite State of Washington.
The college -.v.. found* d by an act
Of the legislature approved March.
'■' IJ9O, under the name of "The
Agricultural College,.- Experiment
Station and School ol Science of the
State of Washington.'' his name
■M changed by act of the state leg
■Jttttre in 1905 to ••The state Col
lege of Washington."
The scope and curriculum of the
wltution was defined by the legis
lature as follows:
"The course of instruction of said
5° U9 *c shall embrace the English
7 glla^' Literature, Mathematics,
™»wphy, Civil and Mechanical En
tering, Chemistry, Animal and
vegetable Anatomy and Physiology,
veterinary Art, Entomology, Geol
°S. Political Economy, Rural and
"behold Economy, Horticulture,
gU Philosophy, History, Median
s' and such other courses of in
action as shall be prescribed by
J« ( board of regents. One of the ob
«« of said college shall be to train
J*, 8 '•i' physical science, and
w»eby further the application of
g Principles of physical science to
gytrlal pursuits, to collect in
. "nation as to schemes of technical
auction adopted in other parts of
J United States, and in foreign
ggrtes; and to hold farmers' insti
■ « at such times and place* and
/ such regulations as the Board
Regents may determine.
ride T|' c BOard of Regents shall pro
coll mat all instruction given In the
cx c;'c Sha"' to the utmost practical
juT,' beco»veyed bj means of prac
ikill W °lk '" the laboratory, and
telle ProVide in connection with said
(vih- the following laboratories:
Asm! cal Moratory or more, one

Witali laboratory or more, and
Saidn V furnish and e<3uiP the same.
Board of Regents shall establish
ePartna-n, of saiu allege to be
Eg at6d "'" department of elo
lfc e ar. science and in connection
folio?! h provide instruction in the
u'loWl ii i- i •
iitti Mll, ic'cts: Elementary
tri.° einatkb' including elementary
sono,"<try, elementary mechanics,
elementary and mechanical drawing,
and land surveying. Said Boai of
Regents shall establish a department
of said college to be designated the
Department of Agriculture, arid in
connect ion therewith provide in
struction in the following subjects:
First, Physics, with special applica
tion of its principles to agriculture;
second, chemistry, with special ap
plication of its principles to agricul
ture; third, morphology and physiol
ogy of Hie lower forms of animal
life, with special reference to insect
pests; fifth, morphology and physiol
ogy of the higher forms or' animal
liie. and in particular of the horse,
cow, sheep, and swine; sixth, agri
culture, with special reference to the
breeding and feeding of live stock,
anil Hi.- best mode of cultivation of
farm produce; seventh, mining and
metallurgy. And ii shall appoint
demonstrators In each of these sub
jects to superintend the equipment
i" laboratory and to give practical
ruction in the same. Said Board
of Regents shall establish an agri
cultural experimnet station in con
nect ion with ihe department of agri
culture of aid college appoint Its
officers, and prescribe such regula
tions for its management as it may
deem expedient. Said Board of Re
gents may establish other depart
ments of said college, and provide
courses of Instruction therein, when
those are. iii their client, re
quired for the bettor carrying out of
the object of the college."
The college receives $."iO,OOO per
annum from the national govern.
under the terms of he Morrill act.
which requires teaching of "such
branches of learning as are related
to agriculture, the mechanic arts, In
order to promote the liberal and
practical education of the industrial
classes in the several pursuits ami
professions of life" and provides
further that other scientific and
classical subjects shall not he ex
cluded and that military science and
tactics shall be included in the cur
riculum or the institutions partici
pating in the fund.
Tin- college receives $15,000 per
annum from the national govern
ment under the terms of the Hatch
act for the maintenance of an agri
cultural experiment station "to pro
mote scientific investigation and ex
periment respecting the principles
and application of agricultural sci
ence."
! be national government also do
nated a land gran! of 90,000 acres
to the agricultural college, and a
grant of 100.000 acres to the school
of science.
A study of the above laws shows
that it was never Intended to limit
the scope of the State College of
Washington to the work of an agri
cultural college. A broad curricu- ,
lum was prescribed in the founding
act and the board of regents was spe- \
cifically empowered to establish
other departments, and provide
courses of Instruction therein, which j
I m their judgment might bo required
j tor the better carrying out of tho
object of the college. The Morrill
act contemplates the tea- lung of sub
jects to promote the liberal as well as
the practical education of the Indus
trial classes.
A comparison or the courses
taught at the college with the courses
prescribed In the above laws, win
show that the regents have been very
conservative in the use of the power
granted them "to establish other de
paitnients and provide courses of in
struction therein." They have add
ed a course in Latin, but ii knowledge
of this language is almost essential
to students studying pharmacy, bot
any and other sciences. They have
added a course in modern languages,
hut a knowledge of one or more lan
guages is a part c.i a liberal educa
tion and very useful ie a student of
scientific subjects. They have added
courses In music, oral expression and
fine arts, but. these courses aro prac
tically self-sustaining and their pop
ularity, despite the special tuition
fees, is conclusive proof that they
are required for the better carrying
'" of tin- object of i lie college.
What is thai object? It is to pro
vide the people of Eastern Washing
ton with an Institution where their
children can receive a practical and
liberal education. The members of
the legislature win- passed the
founding bill, realized that the geog
raphy of this state would forever pre
elude a huge majority of the young
men ami women of Eastern Wash
ington from going t () the West Side
to complete their education and
\ic-e versa, and so the) wisely pro
vided for two great educational insti
tutions, one to be located in Western
and one in Eastern Washington, it.
was aimed to have special attention
given at the eastern institution to
the teaching of agriculture an.l the
mechanic arts, but it was never the
Intention to deny to students spe
cializing in these subjects, the op
portunity to supplement them with
other courses requisite to a liberal
education, Because a young man In
tends to be a fanner is no reason
that he should be denied Ihe oppor
tunity a study a modern language.
Because a young woman is to be
come a farmer's wife is no reason
that sin.- should be denied the oppor
tunity to study music.
ii lias also been charge d In.it the
State College in. i Infringed on he
work of the State University. If any
Infringing ha been done it has been
done by the University in establish
ing a school of mines a department
of mechanic i engineering, a depart
ment ... forestry, etc-.
The splendid work which the
State College of Washington has
done and is doing, the high place
which it lias won in ihe confidence
of ihe people of he .stale, the affec
tion-and pi Ide witli which it is re
garded by its graduates and student
body, are conclusive proofs ol the
wisdom of the policy which has been
followed e.i the regents who have
governed it and of the remarkable
efficiency and administrative ability
of President Bryan. The people ol
Eastern Washington, regardless of
party lines, will be quick to resent
any attempt to curtail the work or
impair the usefulness of their col
lege, no matter from what source
the attempt emanates. The college
is fully meetin t the purpose for
which it was founded and its regents
and president have not exceeded by
one jot or tittle the authority con
ferred upon them by law,

IMtOPOSEI) PROHIBITION LAW
Now that the petitions for the
initiation of a state «Ide prohibi
tion law have been checked by the
secretary of state and found more
than sufficient to insure its submis
sion to a vote of the people at the
election next ember, it is Im
portant to carefully stud} the; text
of the proposed measure. Some of
its opponents are criticising It on
the ground that it is too stringent,
while others attack it on the ground
that it is not stringent enough. The
supporters of the measure had bet
ter allow these critics to answer each
other's laments, without taking a
hand in the discussion. The bill is
stringent enough to bring about the
desired result and not too stringent
to lose the vote of any one who real
ly believes that the liquor traffic- is
a social and economic evil.
.1. T. Burcbman, a Spokane at
torney, who has made a careful
study of the measure, has submitted
the following digest of its provisions
to the Spokane Chronicle:
•'While I do not know who drew
up this measure, it Is apparent that
it has not been done by amateurs.
Its provisions have been written evi
dently only after careful comparison
with prohibitory laws in other states
and with a thorough knowledge of
the methods of violation that have
been developed in other communi
ties. As to the measure's constitu
tionality, I am Inclined to believe
that, under the general broad policy
of the courts toward construction of
the police powers of the government,
the more Important provisions of
the measure will be held valid.
••Section t 0 f the act gives the
courts a key to the attitude of the
trainers of the law, which would, of
course, be Indorsed by the people it*
the measure passes. It declares that
the law is passed to meet the re
quirements of health, welfare^ mor
als and police. lhe second section
makes its operation cover all vari
eties of intoxicating liquor, and the
third defines terms used later.
"Section 1 contains the prohibit
ory elan forbidding the manufac
ture and sale, or the having ii pos
session of liquors beyond a specific
amount, though allowing i* to bo"
given to guests.
'Five makes In- iii.,. whole
liquor is sold In violation of the act
• ' public nuisance, fore tho owner
to give Lionel bond upon the first
conviction, which is lo be forfeited
upon the second conviction. The 'a
■ 'liar abatement procedure is indi
cated here in case any person desires
tc prosecute.
"Six forbids the solicitation of or
ders 1"- liquors and the advertising
of liquors, This would unquestion
ably apply io periodicals published
in the state
"Seven deal - with the procedure'
by which a druggist lan -.-11 liquor,
upon prescription of a doctor, With
complete and full regulations gen
rrnin the process. The druggist
must have a prescription for each
salo keep it on file and mark it eon
celfcd' after a caie is *n.ec: >. lie. for
felts the right to sell lieiuor for two
years after one conviction of violat
ing any of the regulations.
"The next section deals with the
physician, who Is foi hidden to Issue
the. prescription unless he considers
iho person ill enough to quire it.
and who forfeits his license to issue
such prescriptions upon a I unci vio
la! ion of the provisions.
"Section 9 makes lie internal
revenue stamp issued by the federal
government, to any person handling
liquor itself prinia-iaeie evidence of
violation of the law when it is in
possession of any one except a d rug
gist.
'.'Section 10 forhlds clubs and as
sociations from having on their
premises liquor to be given aw ay or
old to members, and II provides
that a search warrant can be issued
to provide for Hie search of suspeee
•-.I premises. The possession of the
liquor in unlawful quantity is de
clared to in* proof of violation.
"Section 12 i>rovi.ic\; for a l.eur
in- and .-:c"'..'.oa \'.\ for means by
which a person can not refuse to
testify .11 an pVoeeei'iiifc under the
law on th-j ground lha'. lie will mc

not be used '.a convict him of crime.
It Ives to the prosecuting offhial.i,
l-y this in aimer ilm light to give <jti
Immunity hath to necessary wit
nesses.
"Under the theory of the law that
interested people should be given the
right to see to its enforcement, any
citizen is given power to employ an
associate counsel, «ho can work
with the prosecuting attorney. The
prosecutor then can not dismiss an
action against the wish of such asso
ciate counsel until a hearing lias
been held in court, and an order Is
sued by the judge. Along the same
line, the law in another section
gives the attorney general the duty
to see to the enforcement provisions
in case the local officials prove lax.
"The much-discussed permit feat
ure of the law is outlined in sec
tions 15 and 6. The person wish
ing to buy liquor Is allowed to apply
to the county auditor once in each
20 days, and by paying 26 cents,
swearing to an affidavit that he has
never been convicted of any viola
tion of the law, naming the place
and person from whom the liquor is
to be secured, can secure a permit to
bring into the state 12 quarts of beer
or a half-gallon of other Intoxicants,
This permit must be printed on
red paper and must be attached to
Ihe shipment «hen it con <•>, and
then he defaced so that It can not be
used again. The matter here is
made a pergonal one, and no one but
the consumer of the liquor can cure
the permit. That Is, a servant or a
... can not be sent to secure the
permit, unless tho law is violated.
"Section 17 arranges for permits
for druggists and provides that they
must keep a record of the amount
they purchase as well as the amount
they ell No. IS bids the trans
portation of liquor by common car
riers without the necessary permit.
No. 19 forbids the issuance if a per
mit to any person convicted of vio
lating the liquor law.
"No. 20 forces shippers to mark
all packages containing Intoxicants
with large letters describing what
they contain. No. 21 makes it a
violation of the law to make a false
statement to doctor, druggist or
auditor to obtain liquor.
"No. 22 makes it unlawful to have
more than the half gallon or. 12
quarts of beer In possession, and No.
23 makes such possession prima*
facio evidence tH violation of the
law. I
"No. 27 gives the power to any
citizen to fib- complaints of violation
of the law. No. 2S relate.", to the
disposition ol liquor after the law
goes Into offset, allowing 10 da>u.
• No. 29 makes It a violation for
any person outside of a common car
rier to bring In any liquor in excess
of the amount named.
"Sections *! i and A 2on tain the
schedule of penalties, to apply to nil
violations of the act not covered Iv
the sections, for the first convic-
lon, the fine is from 15 to $250,
or a jail sentence of from 10 da) to
three months. 1 '„.- second convic
tion makes a jail sentence of fioni
30 days lo six months mandatory
upon the judge and a fine of from
$50 to $500. I'll-- third conviction
makes mandator) a jail sentence
running from three months to one
year, and a line of from $2;">0 to
$500."
it is plain from 11l above synopsis
that, if adopted, the proposed law
will make it as difficult to secure
intoxicating liquor in this state as it
Is now easy, and will remove he
temptation from young people to
form be drinking habit, which
under the present system, is pressed
upon them, by the licensing of sa
loons, The proposed law will no I
prevent, confirmed drinkers from se
curing a moderate supply of liquor
.'eel to that extent recognizes the per
sonal liberty argument.
It is useless to wast time in argu
ing over li" details of tin- bill. No
prohibition law could be framed
which would be satisfactory to the
opponents of prohibition. The real
work of the campaign is to secure re
cruits to the Iheorj Unit the liquor
traffic: is a social and economic evil
and that any legislation which will
tend to diminish the consumption of
intoxicants and prevent young peo
pie from forming the drink Ing habit,
is desirable,
lb • proposed law will accomplish
this result.
