WARNS OF WORLDS ENVY.
Immense Wealth Of United States
Will Arouse Greed Of Other Nations

Warning that the immense wealth
being accumulated by the United
States and the necessity of maintain
ing neutrality and enforcing interna-
tional law will arouse the greed and
wrath of the other world powers was
sounded by John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of the currency, address
ing the convention of the Southern
Commercial Congress at Norfolk, Va,
the fore part of this week.
Mr.. Williams declared that the
American people must be awakened
to the fact that this country will be
called upon to play the dual role of
Samson and the Good Samaritan, pre-
pared to defend itself against all
corners, as we'll as to help the stricken
nations toward recovery.

THREE PLANS TO AID
CLEARING OF LAND
LOWER TAXATION, IMPROVE.
MENT DISTRICTS AND STATE
RURAL CREDIT.

Three measures designed to solve
Washington's problem of making use
OF the waste lands in the timbered
regions will be recommended to the
legislature by the third logged-off
land conference at the university.
First is an Improvement district
plan, a modification of the present
law, under which districts may be
organized for the purpose of buying
land-clearing equipment and blasting
powder. The districts also are en-
powered to take over logged-off land
at low valuation and to sell it back
to the farmers after the stumps have
been cleared on terms of small annual
payments and low rate of interest.
Second a proposed constitutional
amendment gives the equalization
board authority to classify property
for purposes of taxation. Under this
method logged-off lands in the pro-
cess of clearing could be exempted
from taxation.
Rural Credits System.
Third. rural credits system
authorizes the state land board to
pledge the credit of the state to the
extent of per cent of it's last assessed
valuation for the sale of bonds from
which funds are obtained to loan to
farmers for terms of 10 to SO " years.
The rate of interest will be per cent,
or l per cent more than the interest
on the states bonds. The amount of
the loans must not exceed so per cent
of the value Of the land and cannot be
less than 5000 or more than $1,000.
The loans are made for the following
purposes:
To pay for lands purchased.
To pay for live stock, seeds, fertil-
izer, clearing, dixie, draining, irriga-
ton and erecting buildings or any en-
terprise designed to increase the value
of the home.
Aoi IhO ootiotoNtAoh Va AAOl l606CO
incurred for any of these purposes.
This system of land credits applies
as we'll to Eastern Washington as to
Western Washington.
The legislature is asked to provide
the legal means by which trust funds,
either private or public, may be in
vested in these bonds.
To Loan School Funds.
Under the proposed plan the per-
manent school funds may be loaned
to private persons for farm improve
ments. The legislature will prescribe
the terms under which the loans may
be made.
The state is authorized to acquire,
by condemnation under the right of
eminent domain, lands in suitable
tracts which it may sell to actual set
tiers. This provision is designed to
break up great tracts of privately
owned land and to dispose of 1t to
settlers.
Reforestation will probably hold
equal place with the support Of the
county unit plan for land clearing
with the efforts of the conference to
induce legislative action. 1t is said
that a considerable amount Of non
agricultural land is continually re-
verting to the counties for the non
payment of taxes. The conference
plans that such lands should be added
to the state-owned forest areas
wherever possible. Forest experts
have pointed out to the state that the
state would thus become the owner of
extensive forests which would even
tually supply vast amounts Of lumber
and conserve the woodworking in
dustry of the Northwest.

ers OF this state facts, not accuse

now a candidate for reelection. / an,
not certain but what would have
passed the matter by were it not that
the judge has recently sought to use
the power of his Office to whip the
lawyers OF the state into signing for
him a declaration of confidence and
integrity and assuring the voters that
he should be reelected. These state.
ments were prepared under the direc.
ton of Judge Mccoy, We're presented
to the different members of the bar

Mccoy wished them signed. OF course
this carried ore than a covert
threat to those who did not join i In
such petition. ] have had the honor,

cases in the different courts in this
state as any lawyer now in the state,
and it is with a full realization of the
responsibilities assume that | make
these statements. Believing, how
ever, that the people of this state
should know the truth, / will state
the facts. and nothing but the facts.
that when they, the voters, receive,
at the polls. the separate ballot on
which the names Of the candidates for

do not show such a state Of dishon-
esty on the part of Judge Mccoy as
to render him unfit to serve further
on the the supreme bench. by their
votes retain him in his present posi-
ton, otherwise reject him.
