Tacoma, Wash, May %, 1910.
To the Honorable Mayor and
Councilmen of Tacoma, Taco
ma, Washington:
Gentlemen-On behalf of sew
Ieral thousand members of or
ganized labor in Tacoma, you are
asked to raise the salaries of the
lefty employees, and not reduce
them, as proposed. The salaries
NOW paid are not high enough.
considering the high cost of liv-
ling, nor are they as high as are
Ipaid by other progressive cities.
The bricklayers and plasterers
|are paid in this city from $3.50 to
5000 per month, carpenters re-
ceive over 500 per month, and
|foremen of building construction
and foremen carpenters receive
from $3.50 to $500 per month.
From this you will see your city
employees are not paid as much as
the mechanics are paid by private
parties in this city.
II you want good men in the
city employ, you have got to pay
good salaries. If you get good
man and don't pay him a reason
able price for his work, you need
not expect him to do his best. You
cannot buy select lumber for the
price of culls, nor diamonds for
the price of paste.
Pay good salaries and you will
get competent men. Furthermore,
you will have the earnest support
of the thinking taxpayers and
workingmen of the city. There
ARE plenty of ways of saving
without cutting down the pay of
the people on whom you depend
to make your administration a
success.
Hoping you will see this in the
light we do, and assuring you
that you win have our hearty sup

the wife trust him after he has

A.-You certainly cannot trust
the man, and there is not much
reason for you to hope he WILL do
better. You are wasting effort
on him that should go to your
children. Leave him and build a
home for the children. He won't
kill himself.

Why does Great Britain buy its oat.
 meal of us2

Certainly it seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to speak of export ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Scotch Oats to Great Britain and Europe.
 The reason is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with regularity that. has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade.
 How well he has succeeded would be seen at a glance at the export re- ports on Quaker Scotch Oats. This brand is without a rival; is packed in regular packages, and in dramatically sealed tins for hot climates. 51

EXCELLENT TRADE IN
 WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES, AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
 FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe- cially in the Western Provinces of Canada, there is a buoyancy in every line of business that is fully war ranted by every condition. The crops of the past year were what was ex- pected, and the prices for grain of all kinds, put the farmers in a class by themselves. Many of them are inde- pendent and many others have got well started on the road. The latest reports are that seeding is well under way in almost every district, and the prospects are that vastly larger area than that under crop last year will be seeded early this spring. In the Lethbridge district, in Southern Al berta, steam and gasoline outfits. hun dreds of them, are breaking up the prairie at a tremendous pace, but they work night and day. As soon as it becomes dark, gangs are changed, head light attached, and on, on through the night until the first streak of dawn, these giant monsters with their seven or eight gangs of breaking blows, keep up the work. Then the more modest farmer is put ting in the longest hours possible with his teams of horses or oxen. And what will the Country be like in Au- gust, when these fields have become yellowed with the literally golden grain. There will be one vast ex- panse of wheat field. And there Will be market for it, because it is the best grain grown, and the demand will be everywhere. As previously in- timated business throughout Western Canada is sound and good. The grain production of 1909 has been the great factor in establishing the reputation of Western Canada, and it is worth talking about. It surpassed all previ- ous records, both in regard to quality and quantity, and such an achieve ment was by no means easy. The limit has not been reached, and a large average increase may be ex- pected during the next ten years. There will be odd seasons when a falling-off will occur, and it is the fall ing-off that causes alarms and panics in the commercial world. The plains have done their duty so far in the output of grain and it would be req sonable to make occasional allowances for slowing-up. The faster the rate of increase is now, the sharper will be the check when the production dimin- ishes. But there are some unreason- able people who wonder why the growth of one year is not continued during the next, and at an even faster rate. These same unreasonable peo- pie are the ones who see flaws in the situation as soon as an indication is given that the startling advances have not been maintained.

Money and expense are not essential to artistic homes and attractive rooms. One dollar and fifty cents worth of material will completely transform a crude, inar- tistic room into graceful, dainty apart ment.
 Really it is good taste and skill that makes the home homelike. That dainty touch is worth twice as much as money.
 Wall paper is expensive-it costs money to buy 1t, to hang it and again to re- move 1t. With the use of the alabastined wall there is only the slight cost of the material-any one can brush 1t on-and 1t Is not necessary to wash 1t of the wall when fresh coat is required.
 It is very easy to mix, very simple to apply, but the results are simply beauti- ful. 4 whole house can be done at just a little more than the cost of single room when ordinary materials are used.
 And this is true, that now that we have so much better materials for use in the decoration of our homes, that wall paper, common kalsomine and paint are now as much out of date as the old time white wash, tallow candles and rough hewn floors. Mere money is no longer an es- sential in good housefurnishing in artistic home making.
 The new materials and labor-saving ma chimes are most welcome to us all-and every thoughtful woman. every woman who cares for her home, Is quick to utilize them

J. $. AT PEACE WITH
 WORLD TRADE
TROUBLESOME TARIFF CLOUD WITH CANADA IS ADJUSTED
 AT WASHINGTON.
ALL NATIONS ON EQUAL F00T|NG
Northern Neighbors Are on Same Footing as Others-Minimum
 Was General Rate.

Washington, D. C.-The word of the president giving to Canada the minimum tariff rates under the Payne bill put the United States on a basis of trade peace with the world.
 The commercial concessions that have been made to this country have not been all that it was hoped they would be, but they have been suffi- cient in number to remove some of the appearance of sharp discrimina- tion and to enable the administration to announce that all nations shall be admitted to trade with us on equal terms.
 By the terms of the Payne-Aldrich bill, March 31 was set as the day on which the president must declare the maximum rates in effect against any country which had made discrimina- tions against us in tariff rates. One by one the different countries of the world admitted the United States to the list of favored nations, or made concession which it believed would insure the eonceding country the right to ship its goods to American ports with the certainty that the min mum customs would apply Canada held out until the last Finally she made concessions, and today trade peace with the world is a fact
 Under the provisions of the Payne Aldrich tariff bill certain existing special trade arrangements with France, Germany, Portugal, Italy and one or two other countries were ab- rogated. Every nation was given the general tariff rates fixed by the bill, and our trade with the rest of the world from that time has been con- ducted on that basis. The maximum rate Of the Payne bill is one reached by the addition of 25 per cent to the minimum. In other words the max imum rate is club to bring other countries to terms.

THINK DR. COOK IN GOTHAM
He Is Living in Remote Section of City.

New York City.-The latest re. port about Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the vanishing polar explorer, has it that he is in New York city, and has been here for several days.
 Friends of the explorer are quoted as saying that he spent last Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Elmer Dudley, Mrs. Cooks sister, on East Eighteenth street. Mrs. Cook and the Cook children are said to have heen with him. Later in the day it is said that the family departed for remote section of the city, their destination being unknown only to immediate relatives.
 The Dudleys decline either to con firm or deny the report.
