MORE POTATOES, LESS BREAD
Advice of U S. Officials in Present
Wheat and Bread Crisis
BIZ Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 27.-'' If wheat re.
mains at its present high figure or con
tinues to rise in price and if there is a
corresponding increase in the price Of
bread scientists i'll the Department of
Agriculture suggest that the ordinary
household will find it advantageous to
eat more potatoes and less bread" says
q statement issued to-day at the de-
partment.
"W With potatoes at sixty cents a
bushel, ten cents worth-or ten
pounds-wll give the consumer little
more actual nourishment than two one
pound loaves of bread at five cents
each If prices change sufficiently to
make it desirable from financial point
of view, there is no scientific reason
why potatoes should not be substituted
to a great extent for bread

The Tax Problem

X Like the poor, the taxation problem
is always with us. When the unhappy
newspaper scrivener finds news
dull, and editorial topics scarce,
he can always fall back on
the subject Of taxation. And he
can always: and from any old point Of
view. show you the inequalities Of
whatever system has so far been de-
vised by the wit Of man.
This section of the universe has
been no exception to the rule just
noted On the contrary, 1t has been
shining example of how the wise
may, If INSCRIPTIONS, shift his bur-
den of government onto the shoulders
Of the unwise or scrupulous. Almost
from the organization Of this county,
large railroad and timber interests con-
trolled the taxing bodies, spending
hundreds in elections to save thou
sends later on in their just proportion
of taxes.
A few years ago, after many years
Of effort, a change was effected; q
new deal was inaugurated, and for
the first time in the history Of the
county the professional tax dodger
was not in control.
The change, made less than three
years ago, was in way revolution
airy, and like all such movements
which operate as the swinging Of the
pendulum, may have swung too far
in some instances and worked injury
to some innocent parties, yet on the
whole no one can doubt the beneficial
results to the county, as an entirety.
That the writer had something to
do with this revolt, is to him an occa-
sion for pride. At meeting Mon
day night, he witnessed the fullfilment
Of his predictions and hopes. He found
the interests heretofore beneficiaries
Of the old regime. planning for econ
omy in public expenditures. a matter
that It had always been impossible
to interest them in until their valua-
lions were placed on par with other
property.
Verify. the world do move. And the
end is not yet. Those very interests
are going to become the best advo-
Gates Of good, clean and economical
government we have. IL 1t any won
der, therefore. that feel proud Of the
humble part l was permitted to play
In bringing about this most desirable
result?

1t IL and should be source of graf
ification that the election last week
resulted in such an Overwhelming vote
in favor Of the bond issue with which
to build the new water system, that
the expression should have showed SO
conclusively the desire Of the people.
At this election, many refrained
from voting and large number voted
against 1t through lack Of information
concerning the plan. The change,
made at the instance Of an eminent
engineer, from the Wynooche to the
Wishkah river, was made such short
time before the election as to leave
many in doubt, yet the vote showed
conclusively that the people had con-
fidence in the officials OF the city who
had given the subject deep attention.
+ Now that the bonds are voted, it
remains for the city authorities to de-
liver the goods. In other words. they
are expected to see that the taxpayer
gets decent run for his money in the
construction Of this plant. This is
a matter. however, that is in the
hands Of the citizens. 1t is up to
them to select the men who will build
the plant. Good citizenship did not
lend much encouragement Saturday,
when only so per cent Of the registered
vote was cast, and experience gives
me confidence to say that II in the
construction of the water system any
thing goes wrong, among the most
vociferous kickers will be found those
who had not voted last Saturday.

ual observer. The railway company
has . large unmovable Investment,
made at the urgent request Of Aber-
deem and Cosmopolis; It is required
to build and maintain good portion
Of the streets upon which are its tracks
besides large sum in taxes, and it
must run upon certain streets only on
. certain schedule, as we'll as being
financially responsible for any damage
to life or limb by or through its
operations.
How, I can hear my Quizzical jitney
friend on the council ask, could this
be remedied? In answer, | reply. by
the adoption Of the only fair rule in
life, that Of a square deal. l would
not give the street car company an
iota Of advantage over any competitor,
nor would give the jitney an ounce
of overweight in the scale Of Justice.
Playing the game Of life-or business
"a square deal works no hardships
upon anyone, unless he be seeking a
crooked advantage.
At that, 1t should not be difficult
matter to place the jitnsy and the
street car company on an equal basis,
SO far as the public is concerned, and
along that line, respectfully beg to
suggest:
First-That all jitney owners give
a surety bond sufficient to cover all
possible damages to passengers;
Second-That they be obliged to
have certain streets to operate on, and
that the license tax be made to equal
the proportion OF the streets the rail-
way company has to build and main
tain;
Third-That the license shall speci-
~ what streets the jitney shall oper-
ate upon, and publish the time Of
starting and arrival at points. Of de-
parture. being held responsible for
any damages that may accrue for fail
ure to preserve such schedule without
reasonable excuse.
/ l can hear my jitney owning friends
yell about this, as an interference with
their inalienable right to life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness, but sug-
gest that they retain their clothes
while they put themselves in the po-
sition Of the numerous holders of
stock in the concern that has done
more than any other single influence
to develop the cities Of Grays Harbor.
After such reflection they will either
change their minds or remain objects
of pity for their warped mental state.
