CAN'T ASK DEPOSITS
Commission Orders Telephone Com
panies to Stop Practise.

Orders issued by the public service
commission last week, following a
Joint investigation of telephone prac-
tises in connection with the Oregon
railroad commission, provide that
hereafter telephone companies shall
have no right to require advance cash
deposits from subscribers. Locally,
a deposit of IS is required from all
new subscribers before telephone
is installed.
The order was served upon the 100
telephone companies doing business
in this state, the companies being re-
quired to make appearance at hear
ing in Seattle October 20, to show
any reason why the order should not
be put into immediate effect, and also
why they should not be required to
refund Immediately the deposits, to-
falling hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, now on hand.
AS q substitute for the advance
cash deposit the commission proposes
to allow the companies to collect for
service one month in advance, the
practise at present, and also to allow
the disconnection of service after 10
days to delinquent subscribers.

OUESTIri.S FUR A
farmer To Answer
He Can't Dodge Them. As They
vitality Affect His Welfare
and Earnings.

A farmer, writing to a friend about
initiative measure No. IS, the COM
pusory eight-hour law, said:
do you fully understand what is
meant by the provision except that
in agricultural labor an additional two
hours per day may be allowed for
work that is unavoidably and ncces-
sarily incidental to farm manage
ment?'
IF the trainers of the law intended
that ten hours a day should be the
ordinary limit of work on the farm
would they not have said so in plain
language?
How are we going to determine
what work is 'unavoidably and neces-
sarily incidental to farm manage
ment"
IF we guess wrong we will be sub
ject to fine of from ten to one hun
dred dollars for each offense, and the
court always has the last guess.
DO you dare take the chance?
What does incidental mean any
how?
THE New International Dictionary
says it means happening without de-
sign or as a chance feature of some
thing else; casual; accidental; hence,
not Of prime concern; subordinate;
collateral. Liable to happen as a
chance feature or incident.
THAT doesn't help much. 1t does
show, however. that the only safe
thing for us to do would be to work
our help but eight hours in every
twenty-four and but forty-eight hours
in every week of seven days, and not
one minute longer
Can we manage our farms on an
eight-hour day and get the work done
as cheaply as at present?
IF not are we doing so well that
we can afford to double our labor cost
on week days and, in harvest time,
hire an extra two crews on Sunday?
1--WE can avoid this unjust burden
by voting no on initiative measure No.

A GRAVE MISTAKE
Another Theory That Falls In the Face
OF Hard Facts.

An eight-hour day can have but one
result, SO far as labor is concerned in
the logging and numbering industry
In this state, and that is a reduction
both in wages and in the number Of
men employed.
The condition of the lumber market
has been such. for a long time. that
any material increase In the cost Of
production must of necessity result in
curtailment Of output and the dis
continuance Of operations on the part
OF many lcggers and manufacturers Of
lumber.
Since the European war began, a
new and serious factor has arisen that
materially affects the market for
Western lumber. All of the southern
lumber manufacturers who have, here
tofore. exported their output, find
their European markets closed by the
war, and they are now seeking an
outlet for their product in the Middle
West in competition with the Pacific
Coast lumbermen. This competition
Is particularly severe in view of the
fact that the prevailing hours of labor
in the Southern logging camps and
mills are from IL to IL hours per day,
while the wages are considerably low
er than the wages paid in this and
other Western states.
This alone makes it utterly impos.
sible for the loggers and lumbermen
to continue production in the face of
such competition. and an eight-hour
day in Washington would inevitably
have the effect of reducing both the
demand for, and the wages paid to
labor in these industries.
