schaft system, the most successful
farm mortgage method ever put in
operation"
The personal credit bill, s. B. 1856,
provides a cooperative banking sys-
tenn. 1t follows closely the German
method where the managers in small
towns and villages are school teach
ers, or clergymen, who make loans
from three months to ten years. In
terest rates are fixed at from 31g
to per cent. However, the pro-
posed Washington law is not con-
fined to small towns and villages.
The scheme comprehends a mutual
pledge system to take care of the
small home property owner, who or
dinarily would be refused credit at
a bank. The associations are formed
much like associations provided for
in the rural credits acts with a CEN
trail bank in each community. guar

CAR SHORTAGE HOLDS
BACK LUMBER GRADE
ORDERS PLENTIFUL, BUT MILLS
UNABLE TO MAKE
SHIPMENTS.

Conditions in the lumber industry
Of the West Coast have not changed
materially for several weeks. The
car shortage has been tightening as
Eastern weather conditions retarded
West-bound car movement. The un-
shipped balance of transcontinental
rail orders now in the hands of the
mills affiliated with the West Coast
Lumbermen's association amounts to
1920 carloads. which is practically
10000 carloads in excess of that
usually carried by these mills.
Production. which has been at
very low ebb since the first of the
year, is again assuming formidable
proportions in an effort on the part
of mill owners to replenish badly
broken stocks.
Naturally, with such long car
shortage and the volume of orders SO
heavy over a given period Of months.
there has been an accumulation of
stocks 1T the mills, but this .,:cumu-
lation is virtually covered by exist
ing ord. rs and tho amount of unsold
stocks IN the haros of West Coast
mills today is definitely known to be
less than normal.
Orders continue in good volume as
regards transcontinental and local
markets. The California market,
which annually absorbs approximate
ly 1,2OO,OOO.00O feet of Oregon and
Washington lumber, has been buying
In spurts since the first Of the year
and now seems to be steadying down
to a fair spring demand.
The export market is limited only
in the matter of delivery. Advices
from Australia, China and the west
coast of South America are unani.
nous in the matter of heavy demand
but Notwithstanding the increased
Pacific tonnage due to shipbuildine
activities of the past year. the prob
lem of delivery prevents any exces
sive booking Of export orders.

have experienced difficulty in recog-
nizing covert acts" after they had
been committed. These acts have
been perpetrated and passed practic-
ally without notice on many occar
sions in the history of nations, while
demonstrations not intended a
overt acts" have been wrongly inter-
preted and wars have resulted.
The people of the United States
have. however, five covert acts In
the history Of their own country to
glide them.
They are:
The marching Of British army ON
Concord in 1775.
British depredations on commerce.
iimpressment Of American seamen
and firing on the U. 8. frigate Chesa-
peake In 1912.
Invasion of United States territory
and storming Of Fort Brown. Texas.
by General Arista in 1886.
Firing on the steamer Star Of the
"O0S SuN rVAs oumPtCT " OOuAc0>
crates IN 1861.
Destruction Of the battleship
Maine in Havana harbor in 1898.
It must, therefore. be clear that
the sinking of American ships and
the consequent loss Of American life.
as the result of the submarine war
Germany is waging against the allied
powers, would constitute an covert
act" as that term is interpreted By
American history.
Claims for Damages.
From the commercial standpoint It
is interesting to keep in mind that 90
long as the legal status Of the United
States is that Of a neutral. valid
claim for damages may be made by
owners and shippers at the end Of
! the war, for all vessels destroyed in
violation of the accepted canons OF
international law. 1t is doubtless
true that the caution displayed by
the administration in the present
crisis has been due in a small degree
at least to the desire to preserve for
American shipowners and business
men a complete and unassailable
claim for damages for all losses sus-
tanned. War between Germany and
the United States would deprive
Americans Of all claims for damages
sustained after the commencement Of
that war;.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1917-03-02

states that of the 100000 motor
cars of all kinds in service in the
United States today over one-half of
the mileage of the 100000 cars is
used for business purposes. Literal
ly, this means that of the 100000
automobiles running in this country
today one-half, or 100000, are
used for business purposes. This
leaves only one and a half million in
use for pleasure or social transporta-
ton purposes.
In considering the 100000 auto
mobiles in use today. which may legit-
imately be classed as pleasure cars"
an important fact should be borne in
mind, namely: the so-called pleasure
car of today has a distinct economic
use, it being only reasonable to de-
duce that the time and money spent
in motoring for pleasure or social in
tercourse almost invariably takes the
place of some other form of expendi-
ture of less actual economic value.
Motoring is a pleasure that makes for
broader vision. saner and more help
full diversions, and more sympathet-
ic social life. A nation without its
sane pleasures is hopeless. There
fore, it is far from logical to consider
the so-called pleasure car of today as
an added luxury.
OverproductiOn Point Far on.
If production increases at the av-
erage rate maintained for the past
five years-which is unlikely, due to
greater manufacturing problems and
to inability of the selling and distrib-
utive branches to keep pace with
greatly augmented manufacturing
volume-the point of saturation will
not be reached for five, six or even
seven years. And some of the lead
ers in the industry predict that it will
be matter of 10 or II years.
All signs point to a continued de-
velopment for several years to come
for just how long it is difficult to
say. but as in many other new fields,
limitations and curtailment of expan-
sion. arbitrarily predicted, are merely
evidence of shortened vision or un-
familiarity with all Of the facts.
1t is true that materials and labor
are more expensive and increasingly
hard to secure. This condition is not
serious, nor is 1t likely to be. The
makers of medium and high-priced
cars overcome the difficulty by an
advance in their selling prices. The
manufacturers of low-priced cars
build in much greater quantities. are
protected by contracts until the end
of the automobile year, July, 1917,
and are able to absorb additional ex-
pense by spreading 1t out over great
number of units and by increasing
their manufacturing efficiency.

Elliott Road Petition Denied.

The county commissioners this
week accepted the recommendation
of County Engineer Frank Weir and
denied the petition of Joe Goetz and
others for a new road in the Plum
Station district, to be known as the
Elliott road. The county engineer
reported there was not sufficient de-
mand or traffic for the road to war
rant the expense Of its construction.

AUTO FUTURE IS
ON FIRM GROUND
ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS SHOWS
OVER.PRODUCTION NOT
LIKELY SOON.

So much has been written relative
to the development of the motor car
industry and so many prophecies
have been ventured without proper
consideration of vital and controlling
factors, that a clear and simple analy-
sis of the subject may serve to dissi-
pate much of the unfounded con-
lecture.
The automobile market is divided
into two broad fields. First the rural
class. which includes all persons en-
gagged in farming and others in va
rious businesses who live in towns Of
less than 500 population; second. the
urban class. which comprises all peo-
pie in any but farming pursuits. who
live in towns Of 500 or more popula-
ton.
In the rural or farming market.
there are 100000 families. One
million of these now own motor cars
and one and one-half millions are
poor, illiterate. or negroes, who for
the purpose Of this study may be ex-
cluded from the prospective buying
class. There remain, then. 100000
farm families who are possible auto
mobile buyers.
100000 Possible Buyers.
In the urban class. covered by H.
900 towns and cities Of more than
500 population. there are about s.
100000 home owners. Of which num-
Der only 100000 now own cars.
Accordingly. there remain 100000
prospective buyers in this class, or
total actual unsold market. in both
rural and urban classes. of 100000
possible automobile buyers.
The accepted average life of an au-
tomobile is about five years in the
hands of the original owners: and as
the man who once owns car will not
thereafter be without one, we must
include the recorder market, which in
the calendar year of 1917 will be
about 100000. this being 20 per cent
Of the 100000 now in use.
For the year 1917, therefore. the
automobile business will face a mar
ket of about 100000 possible buy
ers. Not more than 100000 cars
will be built in the coming year.
leaving a possible excess market of
100000 buyers at the beginning Of
1918.
These figures are decidedly con-
sentative because they take no con-
sideration of % any export outlet.
