herself. A businessman deciding
to go into the clothing business,
for illustration, would certainly
be foolish to choose Tacoma un-
TIL he had found out how much
clothing in his line was purchas-
ed, how many competitors he
would have, how aggressive his
competitors were in advertising
selling, what 1t would cost for
merchandise, rent, taxes, clerk
hire, lights, etc., etc., so he could
forecast his probable profits. And
neither can Tacoma hope to go
into business Of exploiting her
self until she has taken an in
ventory and know all these facts
about herself.
In our next article we shall
take up some matters even more
specific yet than these we have

Raps Value of Tourist

This means that 10000 per-
sons are directly affected by any,
thing that helps or mars the local
trading, and that nearly 1000
business houses are also likewise
affected.
Then assuming there was no
trading coming into the city from
the outside local or retail
trading - it would mean that
the total volume of sales averag-
ed a business house would be
only about $4,000 a year. And

reckoned by shippers in casting
up their dividend earnings.
Now let us turn to another
item. Some claim that Tacoma
must become a great city on ac-
count of her agricultural lands
surrounding, even though that
same claim is being made for
nearly 5000 other cities.
This claim calls forth the fact
that the people of Tacoma con-
sumo some $4,000 worth of or
chard, farm and dairy products
every day or about $1,S00,000
yearly. Then applying the same
rule it would mean that the cit
les of Washington, Oregon and
British Columbia consume about
$13,000,000 of said products
yearly, and all Of which is set
forth as one of the reasons why
the farms will be developed and
hence develop the cities as a re-
suit of farm settlement, farming
being much more profitable.

Now what Information was
there in that? 1t meant that we
had to get right out and find out
all these things for ourselves. In

helpless as in other cities. They
had no information compiled at
all, and our distinguished repre-
sentative Of that European gov

Asks, How About the
Housing Situation?

But the next factor to consider
is the cost of living and the
housing of that population that
is to come and make 1t a greater
city.
What has Tacoma to say for
herself on these questions? Has
she ample housings for such a
population? Has she an organ
lied plan for building of homes
and renting or selling them to
the strangers who are to help
supply the profit money in trade?
If she has what are the terms
and the reasonableness of pur-
chase price? She has an abund-
ance of lumber - and she boasts
of 1t - but what are the COM
parative costs of home construc-
ton and their selling or renting
prices?
A few years ago, we met a gen.
tleman who was sent here from
Europe and commissioned by his
government to look into this
question as it affected all sections
of this country. That government
had decided to colonize 100000
families in some most advisable
section and support that connolly
from government funds until 1t
was self-supporting.
We visited the Old South, the
New South, the Southwest, the
Northwest, and the Midwest as
well as the East. And strange to
saw there was not a community
we visited that could give us any
really concrete information ex-
cept to tell us that land could be
purchased at so and so per acre,
and that the cost of living com
pared favorably with other sec
TONS" And we may add that
this was the identical story told
