Just to look AT the other side of it
for a minute read what Julius Krutt-
,chmitt, chairman of the executive
committee of the Southern Pacific rail
road and president of the American
Railway association, said recently in
a discussion of The Railroad as a
Public Servant:
When Congress wastes millions Of
dollars and state legislatures squander
millions more, there is hardly pass
ing comment. The money is easily OBJ
tanned. 1t is raised by taxation; and
when expenditures increase, whether
for good reasons or not. taxes can be
and are equally increased. The rail
roads. equally servants of the public,
cannot raise money with such ease and
facility. They can get it only by rem
dering the services of freight and pas
senger transportation. The national
and state governments can make their
incomes cover their expenditures be-
cause they control both the income and
the expenditures. The railways must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes, because while they have
some control over their expenditures,
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their passenger and freight
rates being fixed by public authorities.
Do you suppose Fred Warren ever
| thought of such a comparison? And
yet it is essentially a true one and
one we are likely to overlook.

We suggest that the farmers of this

We suggest that the farmers of this
county read the following paragraph
from an Eastern financial journal:
Sears, Roebuck net profit this year
should cross 100000, which would
mean 81 per cent. or perhaps slightly
better for the $40,00O,000 common
stock. For the year to December 81,
Sears, Roebuck will show a gross bus.
mess of more than $9O,00O,000.
All of that money goes to Chicago,
every cent of it-nearly a dollar for
every man, woman and child in the
whole United States. If you have
sent any money there--bought any
goods there-not one cent of it has
been spent or will be spent in Thur
ston county. There is an opportunity
for some reflection.

Witness the comment of the press
bulletin of the federal department of
geology under the heading, Carrying
Goals to Newcastle:
Even though crude oil and gasoline
are being largely substituted for coal
as source of power in Seward PENN
sula, Alaska, 16,405 tons of coal were
imported in 1912 In spite of Alaska S
great coal resources, not over 200 tons
were mined in the entire territory in
1912. Alaska is sadly in need of a
statute allowing her to mine her own
coal, under adequate terms.
We may expect Congress to come to
the same startling CD conclusion one
of these days and to herald it as new
idea.

Get the Facts About Egg supply.

christian Science Monitor)
Viewing the matter either from the
side of the cold storage men or from
the side of the consumers, the egg sit
uation presents deplorable economic
aspect. If it be true, as the storage
people allege, that there is a great
shortage, and that this shortage fully
Justifies the advances in price already
made, and will justify the advances
contemplated, then it becomes clearer
than ever that the American people
are negligent of one of the most neces-
sary and most important of their in
dustries. On the other hand, If the
supply is ample, if the shortage is ar
tificial, forced by cornering the supply,
then 1t becomes clearer than ever that
the laws for the prevention of food
monopolization and extortion are in
adequate. Is it not about time that the
facts in relation to the egg supply
were being discovered and made
known by competent and reliable au-
thority? 1t is possible to boycott the
egg trade, to compel reductions in
price. to cripple the industry, but if
there is a legitimate trade reason for
the high prices this should not be
done. Nobody at present seems to be
sure of the facts about the egg supply
The state or the nation should uncover
them.

4 Corner on IictferA.
(Raymond Herald.)

A young lady stenographer in North
Yakima has undertaken to secure a
corner on heifers. and is buying all
she can, and is pasturing them on a
few vacant lots. The young lady has
figured out that the farmers are in
need of cows and will want more as
time passes. There is no doubt but
what the young lady is on the right
track to make some money, as cows
are becoming more expensive each
year, and the only way to supply the
demand is to keep the heifers.

More Woes of an Editor.

(Auburn Globe)
If people will be so out of date as to
have a fence enclose their lawn, why
in thunder can't they keep the front
gate shut? The editor of this great
moral guide received a severe blow on
the forward part of his retundity on a
dark night recently by coming in con-
tact with gate swung open on the
sidewalk, and the thoughts we thunk
scintillated in a way that made up for
lack of illumination on Cedar street
that night.

WHY NOT ARBITRATION BOARDS!

A succession of riots such as have
just occurred in Indiana and Colorado
has no justification in a civilized COM
munity. When a band of strikers can
tie up the traffic of a large city for
days at time and destroy property
in utter defiance of law, there is GER
tainly something wrong with the in
dustrial machinery of that community
But the wrongs can never be satisfac-
torily adjusted by such procedure.
During the trouble in Indiana the
striking street car operators exceeded
the bounds of reason in the destruction
of property. but on the other hand the
street car company undoubtedly acted
unwisely in refusing to recognize the
union. AS usual both sides were to
blame in the matter. The only correct
way to cope with this and similar
situations is by the appointment of
state board of arbitration before whom
both employers and workmen can lay
their grievances for adjustment with
out resort to violence.
