TRAITOROUS WORDS.


While it may be Comprehensive that
blind hatred should persuade men OF
Great Britain and France to the I'M
reasonable opinion that President Will
sons note appealing for discussion
Of terms of peace is an attempt to help
Germany escape the penalty Of her mis-
deeds, it is not short of traitorous for
an American citizen to pronounce such
views.
We had not thought that one so ex-
IRENE and bitter in his political ami
mostly as Representative Augustus P.
Gardner, of Massachusetts, could sur
prise us, but he has, indeed, achieved
that distinction. We are amazed that
any American citizen could be so
risloyal and so utterly insincere as to
accuse the president of his country
with collision with Germany.
Mr.. Gardner, forgetting his Ameri-
canism and remembering only his pol
i:ical partisanship. took occasion, at a
dinner of the New England society, in
Cincinnati last Wednesday evening, to
say:
81 hope to God that no act of this
nation. born out of autocracy, will
help to throttle the democracy of civ
ilization." He continued: "One of the
fixed beliefs of New England is thai
men and nations must pay the penalty
of their crimes. Otherwise wickedness
would run riot In the world. Presi.
dent Wilson is helping Germany to es-
cape the penalty of her wickedness
The world will not be good place tC
live in if he succeeds. Every friend Of
Prussia and Prussianism rejoices al
this action. Every friend of the Allies
is seething with suppressed indigna
ton. President Wilson is doing pre-
cisely what Napoleon III. did in the
dark days of our civil war, after Nc
Clellan's disastrouse campaign. Every
friend of the union stoutly denouncet
Napoleon. Every friend of clavery re
joiced."
1t Is needless to offer comment Oh
argument upon such a needless ant
outrageous statement Representative
Gardner is doing his treacherous bes
to misrepresent his own country In tht
eyes of foreigners and to play upo,
alien sympathies and foreign partia1it,
at home. That he will not succeed W,
feel assured because of our faith II
the observation-disclosures and good sens,
of our own people, but that such ut
terances should be given forth from {
man prominent in the political life o
the nation is nothing short of a dis
grace. He knows as well as any ont
and every one else knows that tn,
presidents appeal for discussion o
peace terms is no more in Germany
favor than it is in favor of France o.
England, but his hope evidently is t
fan resentment and bitterness among
those of his followers and constitu
ents whose sympathies are so strongl!
with the Allies that the rights and in
terests of their own country and o
civilization itself are secondary, if no
entirely obliterated-Sav Press.

HEATING PLANT REVIVED
Eastern Concern Seeks Franchise to
Complete FOshay Enterprise.

The Foshay project to erect a CEN
trail steam-heating plant here and an
additional electric power plant came
to life again this week when the
American District Steam Heating
company asked the local council to
grant it a 50year franchise.
When the Foshay enterprises
"blew up" the big Eastern concern
from which Foshay had purchased
his material took over the partially
completed system Foshay had in
stalled, and it now proposes to turn
a dead loss into an active concern.
The proposal is looked upon favor
ably by city officials and will be con-
sidered at special council meeting
next Tuesday evening.

PROPOSE PURIFYING PLANT
Council to Investigate Advisability of
improvement to Local WaterwOrks

The city council with the assist
ance of City Engineer j. B. Weddell
and the engineers of other cities will
conduct an investiga ton into the ad-
visibility of constructing a purifica-
tion plant at the city water works,
following a recommendation made by
Mayor Mottman.
Plans for the installation of new
mains from the springs and wells
from which the city's water supply
is drawn, to the pumping plant, were
considered by the council this week,
when City Engineer Weddell report
ed that the cost of new pipe lines
would practically equal the cost of
a publication works. This resulted
in the council deciding to seek ex'
pert advice as to the best way OF
handling the situation.

CONFERENCE
ON tANO PROBLEMS
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
TO ASSIST DEVELOPMENT OF
IO3GED.OFF TRACTS.

Constitutional amendments will be
proposed as necessary aids in the de-
velopment of the logged-off lands OF
the state at the third logged-off land
conference of legislators, timber men
and others to be held at the Univer-
sity of Washington today.
A study of these measures has been
made by a committee consisting OF
Austin e. Griffiths, J. H. yesterday,
Judge Frederick Bausman and DR..
vanderveer Custis, and the report OF
this committee indorses the consti-
tutional amendment proposed by the
state tax commission, which provides
for the classification Of property for
purposes of taxation.
II the people of the state should
adopt such a plan, It would be pos
sible to exempt from taxation logged
off land during the period Of develop
ment, it is urged. In effect, this
would act, it is said, as bonus on
the part of the state for encouraging
the development Of waste land. Sim
liar action has been taken by a num-
ber of the older states, especially OF
exempting factory sites for limited
number Of years for the encourage
ment of industries in those states.
Propose State Aid.
Another plan suggested is the use
of the states credit for agricultural
development. This is expressly for
bidden by the constitution. The re-
suit is that Washington alone OF all
the states in the Northwest refuses to
aid in the financing Of land clearing
and farming.
British Columbia. Idaho, North and
South Dakota and Oregon lend money
to farmers on long time loans at a
low rate of interest. Oregon at the
recent election adopted an Initiative
law which provides for the use OF the
states credit in making a $2,oo0,ooo
loan for the purpose Of reloaning the
money to farmers.
DR.. Henry X. Benson, director OF
the university bureau Of Industrial
research, points out that British
Columbia has $15,000,000 available
for farm loans: Oregon has invested
more than $6,000.0 900 in farm mort
cages and at the recent election has
authorized the use Of the states
credit for borrowing $2.o00.000 to
reloan to farmers; Idaho has loaned
its funds to farmers for 26 years
without the loss Of dollar and now
has nearly 100000 outstanding in
farm loans.
Settlers Go Elsewhere.
II is held by many that this state
