Republican platform adopted in Yakima Augtlt 11, 1962, reaffirms its belief in the principles that made Ollr country strong: "Republican philosophy rests on the doctrines that the individual has a God-given dignity and that government exists to serve him." "We believe in the individual's right and capacity to govern him- self, to set his own goals, to make his way to them without the re- straints of dictatorship or patmx- alism. "That the basic function of gov- ernment is to maintain an en- vironment in which the individual can freely develop powers of mind, heart and body with which his Creator endowed him. We believe that government should do for the people only the tllings they cannot do for themselves..." "The positive answer to Com- munism is Americanism, strict ad-: [erence to our constitutional prin- ciples. Communism internally and outside the U.S. has grown to threatening dimensions because no positive battleline has been drawn. tepublicans approve study courses which will educate Americans on the nature of Conununism and hew to effectively recognize and over ('c)me this merlace." It would be encouraging to see sonic local Democrats withdraw themselves from the party and at i least stand as independents until tim extreme liberals are flushed out of tlmir party or'ganization. I shall be watching with interest, Jar I personally stand in strong and firm opposition to the Demo- cratic platform. INSPI, RATION--Pete Brown, 17, wa presented a special award by Representative Roy Ritner at Saturday's ceremonies at Lake Cushman State Park signifying that the 20 boys with whom he worked for six weeks considered him their inspirational leader and most popular fellow-worker.

Thompson, Dickinson Family At Hoodsport By Merle Smith HOODSPORT - POTLATCH A gala time was had at tile fam- ily reunion of the Dickinson tribe Sunday. Fifty-three members ga- ihered at .the Hood Canal Wo- men's Club for a day of talkhlg, eating and renewing the family l)istory. Members came from Spo- kane, Seattle, Vancouver, Vashon, Shelton, Tahuya, and Hoodsport. Mr •. and Mrs. Brook Fink Jr., spent a few clays before and after the reunion with her mother, Mrs. Iuie Dickinson. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Spaulding ore going to be experienced in howing the beauties of our state to relatives of the midwest by the end of this summer. They are ¢,ne of our best boosters, anyhow.

"-- RITHER HAS BAD ABSENTEE RECORD He admits it in his ad of August 9th in the Journal in which he brags that he hs only 6 absents on 19 bills in the 1961 Legislature. He said he was out on Committee assignments. This is a record of more than 30% ABSENTEEISM. Only one.other member had a worse attendance record, Clayton Farrington who was seriously ill. Any worldng man knows what would happen to his job if he were to be so undependable. as AN: A ENT VOTE IS A VOTE AGAINST THE BILL ro understand the significance of these absent votes you must realize 3 things: ' 1. The state Constitution, ARTICLE 2, Section 22, requires 50 votes to pass a Bill through the House and ARTICLE 23, Section 1 re- quires 66 votes to pass a Bill for an Amendment to the Constitution. 2. A bill can be killed by absent votes alone without one single no vote being cast. A lobbyist, when out to kill a Bill is just as pleased to get a Representative to absent himself from the House as he is to get a vote against the Bill just so they can keep the Yes votes below the re- quired number. 3. To become absent on the right roll calls is a common method used by the so called smooth politician who is out to play both ends against the middle. This method is used to kill many Bills on things the people want to improve such as: Industrial Insurance, education, pensions, teach- ers salaries, health, agriculture and amendments for better tax programs, etc. However odd, this method is seldom used against Bills proposed by special interests. Ritner's alibi for his absences, he gave in his ad, was that he was on Committee assignments. This can't be true. House Rule 58, provides that "committees shall not meet while the House is in Session." Perhaps Mr. Ritner should take a look at Rule 56, which states "no member shall absent himself from the service of the house unless he shall have leave from the speaker or be sick and unable to attend." 6 WRONG VOTES AGAINST LABOR ON FINAL PASSAGE -- ONLY 13 RIGHT IN 1961 These are the bills Ritner refused to support: House bili 88 For morq inspection and Safety of all kind of elevators,and escala- tors, manlifts, etc. Hcmse bill 97 Provides Industrial Insurance on job site, inchlding noon hour. Senate bill 285 Providing collection of health and welfare payments, when a com- pany fails to pay the agreed payment. Senate bill 247 Prohibiting Importation of Strike breakers, Senate bill 427 Concerns safety add control of atomic energy by.products common- ly used by industry and hospitals. House bill 111 Increasing pensions for 5000 Industrial injured workmen. 'J?lis ad paid for by tile Maon County Labor Council, P. O.
