ENGLEHART, NORTH YAKIMA As the Legislature of Washington has not been in session since my election as President, I have no statutory changes to refer to or analyze, as directed by our By-Laws. While I am spared this duty, I deem it proper that I should refer to some of the numerous laws proposed by initiative petitions now filed with our Secretary of State, some of which will surely go onto our ballots to be voted on in November. It is possible that some of the proposed measures may fail, if submitted, but is problematical at this time. The proposed so-called Prohibition Law can hardly be classed with other proposed initiative measures, as it involves a big public social question or policy, which many of our people believe to be the great living moral issue, and who believe that the enactment of this law will greatly benefit all classes in our state; by others it is claimed that its enactment means the commencement of the curtailment of our citizens' personal liberties. There are honest differences of opinion on this question and the people of our state have the right to decide this problem for themselves, as one of our great questions of policy. Most, if not all, of the other proposed measures, involve legal, business and like problems that in a greater or lesser degree will interest every lawyer and client in our state. The so-called "Seven Sisters" initiative measures, referring to several different subjects, directly apply to the larger part of the property and personal affairs of our people. Some of these bills contain provisions that will not be injurious to our state; some of the bills are mischievous and would work great injury to our people, institutions and industries if they become laws. For instance, two of these proposed measures intend to add very much to the present duties of our public service commission, which now has a gigantic task and duty before it. It must make a valuation for the first time of the properties of the railroads, power companies, telegraph, telephone, water and other like public service corporations in the state. This is a Herculean task for any man or body of men, and to be of any value, in fact, for it not to be a positive injury, the work must be given the most careful attention. It means the inviting into or keeping out of this state in the future large amounts of capital. As millions of dollars are already invested here in this class of property by people living in our state and other states in the Union and abroad, and many more millions will probably be invested here in this class of property in the future, if investors are treated fairly, and as this state needs the investment of many millions in this class of property in the not distant future, it is important to all of us that the work of this commission be not interfered with but be assisted and |
