COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
WASHINGTON LABOR TROUBLES.

Labor Commissioner f. W. Olson strikes at
the root of the labor problem of this state when
he declares that it is the preponderance of season
able industries, the lack of day-in and layout
year-round industries, that produces the army of
unemployed which confronts this state every win
ter for he points out that the statistics gathered
by his department show that twenty three per
cent of the working force of the state are out of
employment at certain periods In other words,
it is not much the lack Of industries that causes
the trouble, for these twenty three per cent
employed during part Of the year, the intermit-
tent character of the present industries and the
consequent effect on the employment offered.
He points out that what this state needs to do
is to foster staple industries to build up depend
able employment for its laboring people at de-
pendabe wage and to see to it that they can have
work if they want it every day in the year. Now
the slump is during the winter, the hardest time
of the year, while the demand begins to rise in
the spring, reaches it's peak in the summer and
starts to decline again in the fall. Which means,
Of course that this state is too much at the mercy
of fuctuatng enterprises, enterprises which de-
mand every available laborer at certain times dur
ing the year and which either shut down entirely
or greatly curtai their operations at other sea-
sons.
Every one will appreciate, with the situation
placed before them in this way, that the labor
problem in this state will never be solved until
intermittent employment is supplanted by steady
employment, until seasonabe industries become
secondary to staple enterprises and Washington
business is put on dependable basis, far less SUBJ
ject to fuctuation than it is at present Nor should
this be taken as criticism Of our present indus
tries; rather should it give impetus to begin
the development Of our many resources SO far
untouched, for the presentation Of the problem in
this light demonstrates that we have confined our
selves too much to a few allied lines Of business
and have not reached out and undertaken the ex-
ploitation Of others.
What this state needs in its business just as
it needs it on its FARMS is greater diversifcaton,
not the abatement Of its present industries but the
development of new ones. ,@s..s

The greatest revolution our financial system
has undergone in many year took place last Mon
day after months of preparation with the inaugur-
alton of the new federal reserve banks in twelve
cities of this nation and the resultant release of
millions of dollars for the business needs of these
sections Our structure is on basis not only
firmer but more adaptable to our needs; credit is
stronger confidence greater and money easier
with the adoption of the new system. &c. one by
one, the letters that have been binding us are
being loosed.

1t is to laugh when the Republicans crow about
the great victory 'othey won III this county this
fall when for the first time in eight years their
control of the courthouse has been broken bv the
election of three opposing candidates to the most
important offices. Likewise in the state they are
Growing about their control Of the legislature,
when as matter of fact it is no less Democratic
than it was two years ago, the Democratic men,
bershlp IN the senate remaining exactly as it was
IN 1912 and that in the house being larger. Such
crows ought to be spelled with an "a'', for some
things liable to get stuck in them

Charity begins at home" is one of the old
homey sayings that is as true today while hun

WHY GIVE THANKS?

Emblazoned before us more strongly than any
thing else, before us as a nation and each one of
us as individuals, standing forth the greatest
feature of day, the five letters which go to
make up that short word that distinguishes us
from nearly every other civilized nation the
gobe-"peace. OF all the great powers of the
world we alone are at peace, in this time of
hstory's most terrible strife, in these days when
mems dongs are being writ large in the book of
the world. 81,
Why give thanks? For peace, if for nothing
else and for all the meaning that is crowded into
that one great simple word. Thanksgiving Day
comes to us next Thursday the holiday Of graft
tude, as it has come every year since this nation
was born, and it will be most becoming if, while
remembering all our other individual and national
blessings and giving thanks for them we shall lay
the chiefest stress on peace.
There be some who would have plunged us into
war long this-let us give thanks, too, that
they did not have the power!

WHY ROADS ARE BAD.

For the benefit Of those who attempted in the
recent county campaign to make political capital
against the Non Partisan ticket because the latter
declared that roads should be built by contract
and that the day-labor system, while excellent for
building party machine, cost the taxpayer too
much, the following dispatch from Atlanta, Ca,
under date Of November 10, is re-published X:
Defective roads in many regions were blamed
on interference Of politics in highway construc-
ton and maintenance by Richard Henry Dana,
of Cambridge, Mass chairman of the Council Of
the National Civic Service Reform League, in an
address here tonight before the American Roads
Congress.
Mr. Dana declared application of the compe-
titive system to road building would obviate many
cases of poor management, poor methods, use of
wrong materials, and employment of incompetent
labor"
The people Of this county evidently thought
the same way as does Mr.. Dana, for they elected
the Non-Partisan candidates for the offices which
have charge of the roads of this county-the CON-
missioners- and in that way repudiated the ma
chine-building tactics Of the old courthouse
