SETTLERS OF 80 YEARS AGo--A\D
TOMORROW.

Everybody in WashingtOn-and par
ticularly the western portiOn-is bull
ing the market" in anticipation of the
great tide of immigration that is to
follow the opening of the Panama ca
nal We see great cities where our
towns are located now; we anticipate
thousands of settlers on our lands; we
see visions of fortunes that are to be
made.
Have we given enough thought to
the prices of our lands, to the cost OF
clearing them, to the probable poverty
of the coming immigrants, to the pos
sibility that, coming here in great num-
bers, they might not be able to find
means of living-that the state might
be compelled to care for them?
"Oh," you say, that possibility is
remote" But is it?
Think it over. You know what your
land cost you. What is the man with
$40-the entrance requirement-going
to do? Will he be able to buy much
land, clear it at the rate of 500 or
$125 or $3.50 an acre, plant crops, cul-
tivate them and harvest them?
He may be able to. He may have
more money than that. Let us sin
cerely hope he will have. We will
have to help him If he has not.
The immigrant has done wonders
the Northern European especially--in
the development of Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and the other Mid
die Western states, but he did 1t on
cheap land where the problem of clear
ing was relatively small or where it
was no problem at all, and where
there was a vast market only short
distance from him. That he will do
the same for our country cannot be
deduced from what he has done there,
for here he will confront entirely new
conditions, entirely new circumstances,
a greater first cost and multiplied
clearing expense, and a market prob
lem that is harassing those settlers we
now have.
Fifty years ago today THE WASHING
TON STANDARD, as quoted in another
column, discussed the question that
then had been raised, something SINH
lar to this. Then they were worried
about their immigrants from other
parts Of the country; today we
want them, we seek them, we urge
them to come to US. But the problem
of our immigrants-new peoples from
other lands-is the problem that may
worry us in the next few years. 1t will
demand our serious thought and at
tention.

fruition of their expectations, however
sr, in the likelihood that this company

ng the next year, or that some other
interests, seeing the opportunity and
possibilities afforded such line, will

1t matters not who builds it, so long

What this city and county wants and
needs are transportation advantages
which will enable it to grow and pros
per and these the interurban will
bring.

GER AND AGIN. THE COMMISSION.
We must quit.
The Spokane Democrat has declared
"agin" the commission form of gov
eminent for our state.
1t has limited that our motives in
urging it might be questioned.
1t has suggested that the STANDARD
wants king.
1t has been real cruel to us.
1t patted us nice and kindly on the
back by calling the STANDARD "the
ably edited pioneer weekly" and then
stuck knife into us just when we
began to feel real puffed up and this
vale of tears" had taken on more
beauteous aspect.
1t is to weep.
We thought we had been discussing
a principle, advocating a reform which
anybody who knows anything at all
about a legislature realizes is demand
ed, urging plan whereby the people
can get more direct action, whereby
those who seek their exploitation can
not hide behind numbers and pull the
wires through the speaker and a
couple of members of the rules COM
mittee, as they did at the last session.
That principle is incompetency, in
efficiency and buncombe about the wis
dom of our fathers against directness,
fixed responsibility, efficiency and the
teachings of bitter experience.
Business has discarded the wisdom
of our fathers for the wisdom the
present day needs demand. Why
should not we in our governments?
The STA:'DARp thinks we should; the
Spokane Democrat does not. This is
what it says
The ably edited pioneer weekly, the
