In discussing the motion, James

THE L. S. officials based their

Kaiser this morning. They took
their estimate from the 1900-1910
census. which showed that the
state OF Washington made the
largest gain in population. lc-
cording to size, in the country.
But from 1910 to 1917 the state
has hardly gained.
But without noting the loss in
the last few years, they estimated
that the state should have a large
number. The school census shows
that no increase has been made

Citv In Air Over
Raising Salaries

After planning for three weeks
to raise salaries of city employees,
and starting their salary-raise SEES
sion Thursday with a decided
split between the commissioners,
Tacomas city council suddenly
discovered that 1t had no definite
idea whether it would have funds
with which to pay the increased
sums.
After deadlocking over the
manner of raising salaries, the
commissioners decided to post
pone their session until Friday.
In the meantime, clerks will be
set to work estimating the amount
of extra money available for a new
scale of salaries.
Commissioners Petit and Drake
caused the salary raise deadlock.
Petit announced that after the
salary committee, composed OF
Atkins, Gronen and himself, had
agreed upon a definite policy of
increasing salaries, the other two
commissioners hell a secret ses-
sion, framed up salary ordinance
in conflict with what they had
previously agreed, and then asked
him to approve 1t.

During the last two days the
British suddenly began almost
continuous raids in this section

1.-THE American citizen went to

This passive patriotism will
diminish even further as the day

And If with the command to

conviction that he is going to be
used by his country as sacrifice

will come a conflict between heart

DEMANDS
ACTION
ON FOOD

Congress must protect the
American food supply from her
allies.
With this warning from both
President Wilson and Herbert
Hoover, food administrator, lead
ers Of both parties turned to the
food problem again today as the
most pressing difficulty ahead OF
the nation.
England's clamors for more
food are growing louder, while
the prices in this country climb
higher, and the laboring mans de-
mands for governmental action to
reduce the high cost of foodstuffs
becomes more insistent.
President Wilson has told re-
publicans and democrats that am
pie powers must-8e given the food
control department or the allies
will be coming to this country,
bidding for American food and
hosting prices out of sight
Hoover says adequate machin-
cry must be set up at once to see
that American markets are not
raided and prices forced to point
of embarrassment to the American
.epople.
I'VE must" he said, "protect
ourselves from our allies in order
to protect our own people, and at
the same time do all justice by the
allies and all the service for them
that we can"
Both the president and Hoover
insist the power of absolute requi-
sition must be behind the food de-
partment.

STICKS

County Auditor Morris busy
bartenders have put the books
on the counter and are on the Job
again Thursday to deal out the
pink permits.
The express offices of the city
are doing business as usual with
full permission from the prosecut-
Ing attorney to deliver patches OF
booze.
All because Attorney General
Tanner at the 18th hour Wednes-
day made up his mind that the
filing of sufficient names to the
referendum against the bone dry
law suspends the operation of the
law for 30 days, until the names
are officially checked.
Not hearing from the attorney
general. Prosecuting Attorney Re-
mann and Prosecutor Lundin OF
King county both had agreed 10
consider the bone dry law as eff
fective at midnight, regardless OF
the filing of the referendum Pc
titions.
untii July I.
Express companies here had
been advised that 1t would be
against the law to make booze de-
liveries after midnight: the bone
dry squad had made all arrange
ments to pounee upon all booze I'm
the city after the clock struck the
midnight hour, and tho county
auditors office had stacked the
permit books away on the shelf
for future reference.
Then along came the attorney
general late in the afternoon with
his ruling that Officers are justi-
fled In assuming that the bone dry
law has been suspended"
It's still wet today In Pierce
county. The permit system will
continue In force until July 1,
when along will come the Reed
amendment to the 4. S. postal law
to knock the spots out of Ii for
good.
Forty thirsty persons this fore
noon took advantage of the ruling
of the attorney general and took
out permits. They all have hopes
that they can get the slips to the
liquor houses before ruling to
the contrary is made.
| Vets Make Fight.
But while the permit system
seems doomed In any event. the
vets are still breathing. Wednes-
day, II. NJ. Williams, who filed the
referendum petition appeared at
the secretary of states office with
an attorney and demanded that
600 more names should be added.
He said IL the secretary and the
attorney general should rule
against the addition OF these
names, obtained since the petition
was filed, he would carry the case
to the supreme court.
A preliminary count of the sig
natures on the petition showed
3,290 names. The number re-
quired was 22,653. leaving a mar
gin of 537. The secretary OF
states office has begun a check
on the names.

proved to be an attractive feature
of this organization.
Most of those who called we're
anxious to get into the navy for
the practical knowledge and ex-
perience to be acquired on board

Every battleship requires scores
of mechanics, engineers and cleo
tricians. ANY sailor who takes
advantage of his opportunities can
go back into civil life as a skilled
workman.
Those who join the new division
will not escape the draft unless
they enlist before the drawing
