Many people who are now
paying rent might just as well
be the owners of fine piece of
property if they had just had
the nerve to say Il will" and
then gone ahead to get it.
Spokane realty dealers have
made it very easy to get home,
and have thus added thousands
of good, substantial families to
this city. These dealers are
willing to invest large sums of
money in property and improv-
ing the same, and even In build
ing houses, which they sell on
easy payments and get their
money back a bit at a time.
One such firm is advertising
an interesting proposition in

EAST RESPONSIBLE
FOR TIGHT MONEY

Eastern influences are respon-
sible for the money tightness that
has recently been felt here. East
ern concerns with Spokane connec-
tons that have been loaning a lot
of money here on first mortgage
security have ordered a checking
up in their loans until money con-
ditions in the east improve. This
has thrown on to the local banks
the burden of furnishing the cash
for building operations under way.
many of which jobs had already
arranged for mortgages to care for
their needs.
Many attribute this sudden tight
ening of the money market to a
desire on the part of Wall street
to get even with the nation at large
for forcing hostile railway legisla-
ton in congress. The conditions
OF Spokane banks and general bust
ness here was never better in its
history.

was plainly told the applicants that
they were not wanted for clerking,
as the ad implied, but for immoral
purposes, and that If they did not
want the job on that basis there
was no use going to work. Both
applicants rejected the offer with
scorn, but were afraid to mention
the incident until they saw SIM
liar experience of another girl re-
lated in The Press.
This form of vice is permitted by
the police. The police keep a close
tab on the foreign element in the
lower end of the city and know
what is going on. Chinese, Japan
csc, Greeks, Austrians, Italians and
foreigners of this class that are
not familiar with American laws or
the English language, stand in awe
of the police. What liberties they
receive are welcomed as If given
by imperial mandate, as the police
are looked upon as the beginning
and the end of authority in the
city.
These foreigners are willing to
pay for liberties if the police will
tell the Chinese they can smoke
hop" they smoke, or if gambling
may go, they will gamble. So If
a police officer is so accommodate
ing as to procure a girl for i'm
moral purposes for an Italian shop
keeper, other men in the same line
may feel assured that they are
equally safe in taking liberties Of
this character.

SAYS WORKING GIRLS HOMES
HELP TO KEEP DOWN WAGES

NEW YORK, July 9.-In reply to
the Countess Carlisle's statement
that America produces thousands Of
working girls annually because the
girls are tired of the drudgery in
their homes and long to see the
world, Mrs. Eva Valesh, general
women's organizer of the American
Federation of Labor, today took a
fling at "philanthropic hotels" and
so-called settlement homes. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Valesh, such insti-
tutions, instead of assisting the
working girls, actually help niggard-
ly employers to keep down wages,
doing the working girls vastly more
