Honest Criticism
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
am not a resident of your
city, but In spite of that fact I
should like a few lines Of your
space to call attention to two or
three things that Tacoma does
and doesn't do for the soldiers at
Camp Lewis.
First-Altho at Camp and in
Seattle tobacco prices have gone
to normal again, in Tacoma shops
the war prices" obtain. ! spoke
to a Tacoma clerk about it.
Take 1t or leave It," he said.
Remember, Tacoma folks, your
business is better than 1t has been
In years. Don't sterilize the
golden egg. =
Second-Tacoma is a mighty
dry town. All you can find to
drink is sold in soft drink par
Tors. Drinking fountains are
cheap and the soldiers would ap-
preciate a few. Remember with
10000 men on your streets sew
eral times week some of them
are bound to become thirsty.
And Third-The long line that
waits in front of the bus station
Wednesdays and Saturdays is q
disgrace to your city. l am not
familiar with your local condi-
tions, but l do know many cities
that would find some way to get
these men to and from camp. They
must stand in line for hours some
times to find buses to carry them
back after few hours in your
city
And remember the military
regulations are strict when II
comes to overstayed leaves OF
absence. Poor bus service has
gotetn many man at Camp
Lewis into serious trouble.
Yours in the hope that this
letter may bring few of your
citizens to the army post bus sta
ton some Wednesday or Saturday
to see the line that l speak about.

the store and pointed out the
place where they lived.
His father was working at the
army post. They had rented the
farm three months ago and his
father had expected to earn
enough money to stay home two
or three months next summer.
l dropped in to see a man who
has two farms rented. ! was talk
ing to him last June and he was
doing fine and making a lot OF
money. Then the place had an
up-to-date look, but now there Is
nobody home.
He has gone logging, and tne
neighbors told me that he was
keeping an eye on the place.
you see, he had no tools to
work with and only one pony, and
had to hire a woman to cook for
him and q boy to help him. There
was also the rent. / fear he will
give 1t up. and we will lose q

A letter in your paper said
that now Ii the time to start max

same mistake that we did last

Since / read that letter l have
been out to the farm and 1t looks

for this Is there were four men
at the planting and only two at
the harvest. When l asked about
the neighbors, they told me that
most Of them were working at the
logging camps.

Who Wasted
All This Food?

Much adverse comment was
caused Thursday by q large farm
truck, owned by some out-of-town
Japanese, which called at the
back doors of the downtown res
taurants and collected large guam
titles of food, said to be for the
pigs.
In The truck was a large guam
tity of freshly peeled potatoas
which were In perfect condi-
ton for eating. Also there were
large cans of bread ends, which
could also have been utilized for
humans in preference to the pigs

ON TRIAL, HE
FAINTS AWAY

George C. Colvin, on trial as a
lazy husband" tainted away in
the witness stand in Judge Chap
mans court Thursday morning,
Immediately after he had taken
the stand in his own defense.
His attorney had asked him Just
three questions when he suddenly
dropped back in his chair in a
dead faint, his arms dropping to
his side.
Jurors came to his assistance
and he was carried to the jury
room, where he later regained con-
sciousness. Court was adjourn
ed until 2 p. m. Thursday.
Colvin Is about 35 years old and
has been employed at the Dupont
Powder Co. plant. He is charged
with failing to provide for his
wife. According to Deputy Prose-
cutor Selden, his wife left him for
the east following a quarrel, and
when she returned to Tacoma he
refused to take her back.

that Sec. McAdoO had already

not $97 or sos or $50 or some
thing like that.
And when this government bor-
rows 500 II should pay back 800
and not let these marplOts of Wall
Street say that 1t Is going to pay
back whatever they may designate
for their own Interior purposes to
be the value of the bonds, The
value Of a 800 Liberty loan bond
of the United States is 500, no
matter what these men may say.
And they should not be permit
ted to continue as they are doing
to make these Liberty loan bonds
football for their own gambling
Notwithstanding the patriotic
and self-sacrificing men and wom-
en- of this country, many, many
millions of whom lily could af-
ford to buy these bonds, and vast
numbers of whom have to pay for
them on the installment plan.
1t will be answered in reference
to this criticism that anybody
who wants to keep these bonds
until maturity will get full face
value for them. But, as pointed
out in the editorials, that is not
the question.
The government of the United
States in published documents and
thru the lips of Treasurer McAdoo
on various occasions, ETC., etc.,
proclaimed that all these Liberty
bonds would be as good as $40
pieces, etc., etc. The fact of the
matter is that they are not, right
how, as good as $40 pieces.
If they can be deprecated down
to 81 cents, what on earth is go
ing to stop their being deprecated
down to 80 cents or IS cents or
even lower still What ia going
to stop there gamblers depreciat-
ing them down to so cents, and
then, when people, thru need, are
forced to sell, grabbing them in
and making immense profits out
of them, as they did in their
shameful methods during the
Civil war?
What, unless the congress of
the United States stops it? We
are conserving the food of the
nation; and trying to conserve the
health and morals of our soldiers.
Why, in the name of God, don't
we conserve the money of our
people which was thrown out In
the most generous and self-sacri-
ficing manner, under the promise
of the United States that a Liberty
bond would be just as good as a
$40 piece, ETC., etc.?
! am not able to say exactly
how this can be done-how this
menace can be averted, and this
outrage stopped-but / believe a
government as powerful as ours,
that has accomplished so many
wonderful things in the recent
past, could certainly furnish
brains and courage sufficient to
map out and enforce a drastic
system which would put an end
to this infamy.
If you see any weakness in this
stand, and have the time and in
clination, / would like to hear
from you what, II any, objections
there may be to such stand. For,
II wrong, / should like to get set
fright.

EDITOR THE TINES:

EDIIOH THE TIMES:
Enclosed find editorials from
The Bee of Nov. 20 and 28.
1 think this thing of permitting
the gold gamblers to fleece the
poor people who put their faith
not only in the credit but in the
honor of this nation is something
the congress of the United States
should stop, and stop forever.
A nation should certainly be as
honest as a private citizen. II a
man loaned me 800, l should ex-
pect to pay him back 800. and
