Club also favored the retention Of the county
agent: II happens that those who are protesting
that they will not get "a fair deal were oppo-
ncnts of that system. That such a feeling should
arise is perhaps natural but at the time most
rrgrcttabe, Yet firmly believe it is absolutely
unWarrantcd.
Men can differ this thing and that without
nccessarilv-or uSually--sptting their lives and
work asunder for all time thereafter. If they do
adopt that course if they stand back and refuse
to join in an admittedly good project for other
reason, they hinder not only their own benefit but
that of their fellows, their county and their
munity. There would seem to be every reason for
them to forget it and to pitch in and make the
project 60 And that is just exactly what the
broadminded man would do.

A joint resolution, introduced in

appointment of committee to ascer-
tain the number of acres owned by
the state in Olympia, and to report il
speedy purchase of more land is not
advisable, or if the present holdings
should not be sold and a new site

Bookstore in New Home.

The stock and fixtures of the Book
store were moved the latter part of
this week from the building adjoin-
ing the Kneeland hotel, which it has
occupied for years, across the street
to the location formerly occupied by
the Olympia National bank. The
first floor of the building, which is
owned by the Schmidt estate, has
been entirely remodeled and a new
front has been put in, affording two
fine display windows, shaded by a
marquise. The new home of the
Bookstore was especially arranged
for it and gives it excellent opportu-
mites to display it's varied stock.

I'D RATHER BE SQUARE.

I'd like to be rich, and wonder who wouldn't,
And yet If it cost me what some people pay
I'd like to be rich and find that couldn't
There's much worth while that is lost by the
To sacrifice friends and ideals to surrender
My heatr and my conscience my soul and my mind
And sell all my dreams for doar-marked splendor
Would leave too poor for the riches find.
I'd like to be rich; there is pleasure in money
It's good stuff to have and it's good stuff to spend;
1t helps you to pay for your milk and your honey,
And gives you chance to be nice to friend.
I'd like to be rich, but I'd never be willing
To pay such price some men do for gold
The cost is too high and the pace is too killing,
And too many things must be bartered and sold

FORGET IT.

When a man starts out with the idea that he
will not get fair shake" it s mighty seldom
that he is disappointed.
The reason, of course, is obvious. He does not
give the persons with whom he is to be associated
a chance to do anything else; the "chip on his
shoulder is also always on his mind influencing
his views of his associates and of everything they
do and say. He cannot help it j he starts out
wrong in the first place and one thing magniies
another.
There are some farmers in this county who feel
that way about the Dairy Association and the
Potato Club organizations which they admit have
possibilities of accomplishing world of good for
those farmers who take hold of them and make
something out of Them but in the same breath
they tell us, "Why, we couldn't join we
wouldn't get fair deal-they wouldn't treat us
right-they'd snub u.s. They are starting out,
in other words, with the wrong idea fixed in their
minds, and because human nature is human nature
and is at it is, it would be most difficult thing
to remove that notion.
This feeling, they say, is the outcome of the
recent controversy over the farm agent PROPOSE

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
A HALF MILLION IN TAXES.

How great is the sum total of all the taxes we
residents of Thurston county pay is told in an
article published elsewhere in this issue, listing
the amounts in the different funds as certified to
the county treasurer for collection. Aside from
the general proposition of the total amount so
titled, there is a striking commentary for the in
vestigator in the further information that only
about seventy-fve per cent of the taxes are paid;
in other words that taxes on twenty five per cent
of the property in the county are permitted to 60
delinquent each year Much of this is redeemed,
of course, either by the original owner the tax
title purchaser, but that alters but little the
mentary.
half million in taxes-do you realize what
that meansg The largest single amount goes
directly to the various county funds hundred
and seventy-fve thousand, but we spend nearly
hundred and fifteen thousand dollars on the
schools in the various districts of the county,
little more than hundred and five thousand goes
to the state, while we raise ffty-three thousand
dollars more in the six road districts of the county
for the road work there, in addition to the general
road and bridge tax included in the county tax
And then some sixty-eight thousand dollars
raised by the citizens of Olympia for their munic-
ipal government.
Such an article as this gives us means of learn
ing swhere the money goes" in general way;
the detailed comparison of the amounts spent in
the various school districts, expenditures which
are controlled almost entirely by the residents of
those districts affords us an opportunity to learn
where practically twenty-five per cent of the
money we pay in taxes is spent. This twenty-five
per cent, bear in mind, is the item we can most
directly control, more easily in the less pop
ulous districts of the county than in the city, for
there we are in closer touch with school afairs
or at least should be. We know if the money is
being well spent, should be sufficiently interest
ed to know; we know whether the expenditures
can be reduced; we know whether we are willing
and able to pay more In these districts then, the
influence which we individually can exert will
have the greatest effect on our taxes. We can
make them higher or lower, according to whether
we increase or decrease the expenditures of our
school districts.
It would be mighty good idea for you to take
that article and study the information it contains
closely. More than likely it will give you views
Is to your taxes, as to the many different things
for which you pay taxes, that you did not have
before Particular attention might well be given
to your school district-is it one of those in which
the levy is low or one in which it is high?

The Monroe Doctrine has been vitalized by Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing into
the new -Americanism, meaning actual CO.
operation in friendly and business way among
the various nations of the American continents,
for the greater benefit of all. In the past, the
nations of Central and South America have been
skeptical about the United States, it's attitude,
intentions and designs That skeptcism, which
some commentators have said approached almost
to distrust, is now gone. Wilson and Lansing ban
ished it.

NOW FOR THE CHORUS: PROSPERITY

There is one most assuring feature of this
present day talk of prosperity, reflected, for
example in the comments of banks of this Coast
and of all parts of the United States noted else
where in this ISSUE and that is that there ism
discordant note anywhere. Rather is it grand
chorus of prosperity, and the comments of the
banks are referred to here the opinions of the
most conservative branch Of our business world
the opinions of the men who handle the money.
No one can call this a manufactured sentiment,
with the inference that the factory producing it
is political in nature. This is the real thing. The
writer's of these comments ''know whereof they
speak," their institutions the clearing houses
for the business sentiment, not only Of their COM
munities but of their districts and their states.
They know when business is good" and when it
is not and the present. in their view, is not only
a great improvement over the past, but the future
holds forth brighter prospects. One may
confidently 60 forward, then, feeling that the tide
has not only turned but is beginning to surge
strongly toward "better times"

Those breweries, warehouses and saloons which
were unable to dispose of their liquor stocks,
banned by the prohibition law, before January IL
of this year, had absolutely no one to blame but
themselves and are entitled to no sympathy or

this state adopted the ''dry' laws if thirteen
months were not sufficient warning for these
people, thirteen years would not have been, either.

The Kitsap County Fair went "into the hole" a
little more than $40O. This is just a sample Of
what other county fairs underwent this fall, and
it's all the more reason why Thurston county
people should feel tickled over the fact that their
first fair not only "broke even" but has $3.50 in
assets.
