Which naturally brings up the
matter of the appointment of
Louis Freeland Post as assistant
secretary of the (up-to-yet) de-
monetized department of labor.
When Woodrow Wilson awoke
on the morning of March and
discovered that no appropriation
had been made for the upkeep of
the department of labor he
thought instantly of Louis F..
Post.
He had thought of Louis F.
Post before - when he was en-
gagged in the great task of Sc
lecting cabinet. But, so far as
he knew, every one of those jobs
had a salary attached. And that
put Post out of the running. For
the only way that Post can work
happily and with the greatest
efficiency is to be deprived of the
chance to cash in personally.
Post is printer by trade, a
lawyer by profession and a gal
liant fighter in the battle for hui
man rights by instinct and train
ing. He is a native of New Jer-
sey and is GA years old. Printer,
editor, lawyer, lecturer, pub
licist, he has worked ever and
always for the common good.

TACOMA INFORMATION
LEAGUE.
TACOMA WORLD PORT

Through freight across this
country will be on in earnest
at Tacoma within another ~
months. The question the
great transportation lines are
always studying is how to re-
duce the cost of handling
through freight. Curves and
grades are being eliminated,
both banks of the Columbia are
now in use to obtain a water
grade route to deep water and
the ocean at Tacoma. Many
millions are being spent to con-
meet the watergrade of the CO.
lumbia river gap with salt
Sound over the Point Defiance
cutoff. The expenditure of mil
lions of dollars to change the
present route over the noun
tains TO a watergrade route via
the Columbia into Tacoma is to
reduce the cost of handling
freight The railroads have
chosen Tacoma because 1T
costs less"
Tacoma is the key to the
overland transportation prob
lem on the Pacific coast. No
matter what frantic efforts are
made elsewhere for this BUSH
ness, the port of least cost will
get the business.
Human ingenuity has not yet
succeeded in preventing a river
from depositing its silt at it's
mouth, and as long as the tide
GIBBS and flows, and there are
gales on the ocean, Il will be
impossible for any seagoing
vessel of present day average
draft to do business over the
Columbia river bar.
With no time nor opportunity
to study large engineering
problems, which Western rail-
road builders have studied for
years, these are the conclus-
ions at which we must arrive
in view of the present activity
of the railroads at Tacoma.
TT costs less" to handle the
commerce of the Pacific at Ia
coma than through any other
port on the Pacific coast.
