COATING STRUCTURAL STEEL,

A new process Of coating structural steel or any
other exposed metal with zinc is being introduced
to those who are interested in such matters, and
1t is attracting considerable attention because OF
the ease and thoroughness with which the opera

put In place. Powdered zinc, compressed air and.
heat are the three elements which are used in the
process, and the zinc is driven through a gas
burner by the air, where 1t is instantly reduced
TO a liquid state, and as II strikes any surface cap
able Of sustaining the force 1t adheres and cools

FIFTY YEARS OF BARBA-
ROUS BANKING.

The old system was rank panic
breeder. When the prospect was
brightest and the hum of industry
would literally be heard through
out the land, two links in the chain
would suddenly snap, tearing to
shreds the whole business fabric
and carrying dismay to every COM
munity on the continent.
The first notable financial
achievement of the Wilson admin
istration was to revolutionize this
wretched currency system, the un-
happy victims of which are with
out number and the losses beyond
human approximation. They af-
fected not alone the financial insti-
tutions Immediately involved, but
the merchants whose credits were
suspended; the industries whose
shops we're closed the railroads
whose cars we're made idle; the
farmers whose crops rotted in the
fields; the labOrer who was de-
prived of his wage. No business
enterprise, If any individual, ever
entirely escaped. - From speech
of Hon. Carter Glass of Virginia,
at the Jefferson Day celebration In
Washington, April 10. 1916.

IS P.-L. EDITOR L|AR2
GROSSLY MISTAKES COST OF THE
INITIATIVE AND REFEREN-
DUN ELECTIONS.
BY Fred w. Lewis, in Agricultural
Grange News.

We are wondering what can be the
matter with the editor of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, whether he is in
sane, an idiot or merely plain, low
down, disreputable liar. We hesitate
to think that the editor of great
daily paper like the Pr. would de-
liberately tell such lie as appeared
in that paper in its issue of Septem-
Der 25th, when he made the state
ment that the initiative and referen-
dunn has cost the state a half million
dollars, and then goes on to compare
that great expenditure with that of
the legislature, when the real facts of
the case are that the 1913 legislature,
which passed the enabling act for the
initiative and referendum measures,
appropriated three hundred thousand
dollars ($3OO,OOO) to pay the ex-
penses for the biennial period, but of
this amount only forty-nine thousand
nine hundred and ninety-four dollars
and seventy-six cents ($49,994.76)
was spent and the rest of the appro-
priation was turned back into the
treasury, and the 1915 legislature
appropriated fifty thousand dollars
($5O,000). and up to September IL
there had been used of this amount
only thirty thousand six hundred and
sixty dollars and thirty-nine cents
($3O,66O.39), which all told is far
less than the half million dollars that
the P.-I. says was spent, so we are
inclined to be lenient with him and
think he is not accountable for what
he says.
1t is we'll known by the readers Of
,, Washington that the P.-I. and other
,, leading papers of the state are con-
/ trolled by interests that would gladly
dispense with the initiative and refer
endum. the recall, the primary cleo
ton, the prohibition law, the Grange,
the Federation of Labor, the Farm
ers' Union, and in fact all organiza-
lions that tend to enlighten the people
and cause them to become dissatis-
fed with their present condition of
next to slavery and SO endeavor to
get more Just and equable laws, but
this statement Is gums oO Aoi oVyOAN
the truth that we fear it will act as
boomerang and work to their detri-
ment. We have nothing to fear,
though, from such statements, for the
farmer and the working man are too
we'll conversant with the facts to let
anything like the above statement,
coming from such "a paper, influence
them to vote other than in their own
interest. We suppose that there are
a few who would believe such state
ments, but they are few and will have
no great influence when 1t comes to
voting.
It is a shame, though, that Wash
ington should have to endure such
tell such a lie as the above in one case
where can we depend upon what it
saws on other matters as being the
truth? May the time hasten when
we can have papers that are allowed
to be truthful. fearless and independ-
ent, able and willing to stand for the
fright and Justice!

w. ]. Ramsey of Firth suggests the
use of heavy roller on the roads
where they are freshly graded to firm
the dirt before 1t becomes dried.
He says 1t helps to keep the dust
packed. He mentions an example OF
securing a good roller for a little
money. 1t was down at Abilene.
Kansas, and somebody had abandon
ed traction engine without having
destroyed the big steel cosing of the
boiler. The county supervisors got
a blacksmith to put shaft thru it
and then fill 1t with cement, and put
in tongue, and they had an eight
thousand pound roller for $35. 1t
was better for some things than a
steam roller, and Mr. Ramsey sug-
gests that the county commissioners
be looking for old engine boilers.

readers of the The Republican an
