Rate of Interest on Savings.

I'm any compulsory saving plan it is
but just that the government should
guarantee a reasonable rate of interest
TO its employees. Four per cent is the rate
now paid TO the government on deposits
of enlisted men of the army and navy
and it is the rate paid by many savings
banks. The plan recommended by the
commission contenplates the investment
OF the savings of employees in the highest
class of securities. and that the United
States shall contribute such amount, IL
any, as may he needed TO insure the en-
ployes receiving 4 per cent per annum.
Il am convinced that the application of
the plan should he limited for the present
to the classified civil service in the execu-
tive departments and offices at Washing
ton. where the loss from approximation
is the greatest. While any plan is in its
experimental stage it should be kept with
in narrow limits. If successful in opera
ton in Washington ii can be extended as
the needs of the service require.

Our unterrifed and exceedingly

Applicants for Naturalization Papers are
Finding it More Difficult to Qualify
Scramble for Lieut. Gov

Applicants for naturalization papers
are finding it little more difficult to
qualify in King county, since Judges
Hanford and Frater have undertaken
to inquire more pointedly into their
qualifications and beliefs. For some
time past, it has been customary to &C
cept almost any candidate who did
not say, in so many words that he was
"agin the government" But with
the increasing European immigration,
of the radical type, specific questions
are being asked as to the government
al beliefs of the candidates. This is
particularly important in view of the
wild-eyed demonstrations of the Indus
trial Workers of the World and similar
irresponsible movements. 1t is real
lied that many undesirables have been
naturalized in the past because OF lax
examinations. 1t is pointed out that
if more Judges exercised the care that
the Seattle iurists mentioned, are TAX

not grow SO rapidly, as an examination

Treatment of Winter-kiIIed Trees

During the past winter reports have
been received by the Horticultural
Experiment Station of a great many
young orchards that have been more or
less injured by winter killing of the
Young trees. This has not been due
in each case to excessive cold, but
more frequently to the trees being per
mitted to grow rapidly until checked
by frost. The wood was not properly
matured and ripened before the trees
went into winter quarters. In some
cases the temperature in the winter
has fuctuated rapidly from several de-
grees below freezing, and this condl-
ton, working in combination with the
fall weather, has produced the winter
killing.
The winter killing of young trees is
usually indicated by dark colored
splotches on the bark and sap wood.
1t is most common near the tips oil
the young shoots, but in many cases it
is found in irregular splotches over the
entire tree top and trunk.
Trees that have been severely win
ter killed should be severely pruned,
cutting away as much as possible OF the
injured wood and leaving only fresh,
clean wood. Improve the process oil

Tariff Not Dead

Amid all the turmoil of politics, and
in fact furnishing fuel for the conha-
grafton, the committee working on the
tariff bills are hard at work, and the
two houses of Congress are from time
to time listening to speeches on the
subject.
On the republican side the deter
mination to protect American indus
tries is as strong as ever. Representa-
tive Needham, OF California, one of the
oldest members of the Ways and
Means Committee, with which all tar
if measures originate, is strong sup
porter of the protective theory. He
declares that nearly all of the indus
tries in his state have been developed
with the aid of a protective tariff.
With the high cost of labor, which is
scarce at best, and the expense of ir-
rigation-necessary in many cases
he declares that it would not be
possible to grow many of the things
which are now staples in Califor-
MIA and Arizona. Especially is this
true of oranges and lemons; and yet
the people dealing in these fruits say
that the large production in California
and Florida has resulted in bringing
the prices down to level which makes
it as easy for the poor to enjoy the
delicious fruits as to buy apples. This
being the belief of Congressman Need
ham, it may be imagined that he wa:
dazed when he received a letter re-
Gently from an importing firm in Chi.
cago, urging the removal of all dutie:
on fruits from Mexico, or other coun'
tries. Mr.. Needham replied that he
was utterly opposed to such policy
and that he preferred giving to oul
own people the preference in the
markets of the United States" Free
traders, like Harrison, of New York,
for instance, say that such arguments
do not appeal to them

AS the time for the completion of
the Panama Canal draws nearer at
hand, there are evidences of a revival
of interest in shipbuilding on the
Pacific coast. At the several ship
yards, preparations are being made to
care for the increased business that is
sure to follow. The United States
Whaling Company is having fleet of
three steel whalers built by the Seattle
Construction and Dry Dock Company.
The first was recently launched and
work is going forward on the others.
The Canadian North Pacific Fisheries
Company is also having two steel whal-
ers built by the same firm. The whal-
ing industry is particularly profitable,
when modern methods are used, such
as these new ships permit. The opera
tons are mostly in Alaskan waters.

At the open river rally, recently
held at Pasco, to arouse interest in the
project to improve the Columbia river
for navigation to the international
boundary, an effort was made by N.
w. Durham Of Spokane, to give the
idea that Seattle and the Puget Sound
country is selishly opposed to such
development. S. ]. Wettrick, Seat
tie trafic:expert, happened to be pres
ent and challenged Mr.. Durham's re-
marks. He made it clear to the dele
gates that the coast cities do not wish
to deny the interior water navigation.
He said that what benefits the North
west benefits Seattle and every other
coast community. Hence. it would be
a foolish policy to discourage the open
river project. Mr.. Durham is can
didate for the republican congressional
nomination from eastern Washington.
