ONE of the problems recurring
each year is the housing of peo-
pie who come here during fruit
packing season. 1t would hardly
pay to put up additional rooming
houses to accommodate this tenn
porary population, but those we
have are not sufficient for the
emergency. Would it not be a
good idea for our fruit companies
to buy and erect tents to be rented
during the season and then stood
away in the packing houses the
balance of the year. There are
enough hotels and restaurants to
feed these people. but not to
shelter them. The plan suggested
would not be expensive and
would solve the difficulty. The
rents would soon pay for the
tents.

SOME republican papers take
up Mr.. Kern's criticism of the use
of arbitrary power by Speaker
Cannon in the house of represen-
tatives and attempt to justify it
by asserting that it is necessary
to prevent democrats from OBJ
structing legislation! 1t does pre-
vent minority from making any
resistance to the acts of the ma
jority, and therein lies the evil of
1t. Where a majority is controlled
by a select few and that few act
ing contrary to the interests of
the people no good comes from
gagging the minority. as it can
not even be heard in opposition.
Under the rules as interpreted by
Speaker Cannon, the minority
members might as we'll be at
home so far as their ability to
serve their constituents is con-
cerned. They are robbed of the
power to serve anybody. Justif-
cation of such system IS not
good campaign talk.

Ir is well to remember that Mr..
Bryan is an outspoken advocate
of the direct primary system and
that the democratic national plat
form declares tor it. And in that
connection remember that while
Mr.. Taft, in his me too" style,
says he is personally in favor of
it, the convention which nomi-
mated him sat down emphatically
upon the proposition to incorpor-
ate declaration for it in the re-
publican platform. The leaders
of the republican party are op-
posed to It and the party will be
managed by these leaders SO far
as legislation goes.

PEOPLE will not be deceived by
the evident effort of Mr.. Taft to
follow as closely as possible the
utterances of Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan is standing on a platform
which expresses his real views,
while Mr.. Taft finds it necessary
to go counter to the emphatic
action of the convention which
nominated him. His me too"
policy is childish. He knows as
everybody else knows, that the
leaders of his party who dictated
the platform on which he stands.
will in case of his election. die
tate his action and the legislation
enacted by his party, just as they
have been doing all along.

Orchard fruit land about two years ago
and says he yet sees nc cause to regret
his investment, was here the first OF
this week and with him was J. D. Day,
also Of Seattle, largely interested in
lumber and single mills in the coast
country. He is a most pleasant and
agreeable gentleman to meet and talked
very encouragingly of the fruit industry
in eastern Washington. He said he
thought so favorably OF it that he
might even invest in twenty acre
tract, by way Of a nest egg, provided
he could find what he wanted and the
price was right. Together with Mr..
Felt he went to Wenatchee last Mon
day to look over the orchards of that
far famed region. We would be pleased
to have Mr.. Day locate somewhere in
