A Settlers Side
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
The day is fast approaching for
the bond election, and | have not
seen any opinion expressed in de-
Ifense of the actual settlers on the
land.
Now we have lived right here On
| this homestead near Lakeview Tor
20 years next April.
We have seen soldiers by the
thousand all over our ranch, and
in all these years we have not run
up against but four vulgar men;
have had several sham battles
fought on our place, have sold a
good many dollars worth of pro-
duce off our ranch, eggs, butter.
fruit, pies, cakes, milk, chickens.
and have always got full value, and
what damage was done to fences
ETC., got them adjusted satisfac-
tory, and | don't deny but what
the army post will be of great
benefit to the state of Washing
ton, and if not located here will go
somewhere else, but the main point
| want to call your kind attention
to is the little word condemn
that they threaten us settlers with,
that we got to take any old sum
by a bunch of men that have never
spent one day on a ranch in all
their life or they will condemn and
throw us out of our homes like a
lot of paupers where we have
spent the best part of our lives and
once a year walk up and pay our
taxes the same as you people in
Tacoma.
l understand ON good authority
that some of your prominent Taco
ma men have been hawking
around that our land out here is
not worth over SO per acre and the
railroad company will let them
have large tract at IS.
All true enough, they can well
afford to donate 1t back to the
government.
1t cost them nothing in the first
place; but the Dupont Powder Co.
bought several hundred acres the
same kind of land that cost them
just $40 an acre on an average
and lots of the land was wild.
/ l think when country gets to
that point they have to employ 2
lawyer to help actual settlers of
their private property to give tc
the United States government Its
pretty near as bad state of af.
fairs as the European war.
This land can be purchased at Q
reasonable price no doubt, and
don't think there is any cause fol
trying to bluff the ranchers out
here, for there will be big fight

"Vote Railroaded >
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
AS a native OF this great state
and one who first saw the light
of day on the land embraced
within the proposed army post, |
beg 10 be permitted to say IA few
words.
How IL is possible for any OPP
position to appear against this
measure from any source having
the interests of Pierce county at
heart, and thereby their own
pocket books, is more than / can
understand.
What can be the object OF a
few misguided leaders in rail.
reading an opposition vote
through the central labor council
when 1t is quite generally known
ny .he union men as well as
others that this vote was taken
at a late hour when most of the
delegates had left Tor the even
ing?
At that, 1t was possible to pass
this vote only by the assistance OF
the vote of the chair.
Earlier in the evening this
same attempt was made and after
a spirited debate was defeated, a
large mjority being opposed to
any action being taken either for
or against the post.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-01-05

Surely these few ringleaders
do not think that they can
through these high handed meth
DDS influence the the intelligent
laboring vote.
My connections with organized
labor dating over a number of
years leads me to believe that
such actions will not receive en-
dorsement when the true facts in
the case are known.
AS to the moral issues, my con-
tentions are that there are none
others than exist in any city of
equal population.
! spent four years in San Fran
cisco and an equal number in Ca
NADIA, the latter place during the
first months of the great war and
this gave me considerable oppor-
tunity to observe the soldiers.
When first the soldiers appear
ed on the streets they proved a
great attraction, but as time went
on and they were continually be-
fore the people this novelty soon
wore off, and so it will prove here
as the khaki of today is not the
fascinating blue of yesterday.
From time to time the troops in
Canada were shifted from one
place to another and sometimes
temporarily taken away, and be-
lieve me whenever this was done
considerable opposition was met
with from the merchants of the
towns effected as the absence OF
the troops soon was felt in the
days sales.
Finally, | can but add that
should this bond issue fail, the de-
moralizing effect in this county
will be even greater than the
stimulating effect If it is passed
as in the building trades alone,
hundreds of thousf of dollars
of projected new lings are
now held up awaiting the outcome
of this issue and it certainly be-
hooves the members of the build
ing trades unions particularly to
get busy in support of this mea-
sure. Yours truly,

Mayor of Tacoma.


Ample opportunity has been
given all citizens to consider the
army post bonds and all ques-
tions and doubts have resolved
into Just about four Objections:
The soldiers will vote the
state wet.
The soldiers will be mem
ace TO our girls.
The soldiers will take our
Jobs when discharged.
Taxes will be raised.
Every one of these objections
is a false alarm. The soldiers
VIII not vote at all, and IL they
did and all voted wet they could
not turn this state, which today
is dry by 100000 majority.
The soldier will be no more of
q menace to. our girls than the
10000 men already in Tacoma.
IL our girls are not safe now, GER
tainly the remedy is not to ban
ish forever all men and make Ia
coma an Adasless Eden.
Neither will the discharged sol
der take our workingman's job.
Free transportation back to the
place of enlistment is given all

Praises Soldiers
EDITOR THE TINES:

In the humble opinion or the
writer, the average soldier and
sailor is just as moral as the aver
age citizen.
The writer has met men, and
some more men; but he has met
no finer type of manhood any
where than many of those with
whom he associated during his
four years of service. You must
live with these men to appreciate
them. How loyal they are in
coming to the help of the comrade
in trouble. One incident among
many where the clothes of a
young man who was drown were
auctioned off to raise money Tor
his widowed mother-socke SIS
and $3.50, white hats 81 and So
four and five times as much, yes,
ten times as much as the article
was worth.
Now let me give the soldiers
and sailors a,Sdeserving compli-
ment. They have a more profound
respect for a religious meeting
than the average young man who
goes to church solely that he may
accompany some sirl home.
To those who believe that our
girls are in danger If the army
post comes to Tacoma, let me say
word. 1t is only the immoral
girl and woman who is both dan
gerous and in danger. Vice is
afraid of virtue and If the girl
volunteers to keep her place she
viii be allowed to keep 1t.
Knowing that the establishment
oftan army post is necessary, and
that 1t will be established some
where, the question is then why
not in Tacoma?'
Those who are opposed to its
coming to Tacoma find only one
ground for their opposition, name
ly, the immoralityof thesol BIO
lysthe immortality of the soldiers.
There is, my dear reader, alto
gether too much unjust criticism
pointed at our American soldier
boys in this particular. Why
should the men who have taken
THE government oath to protect
the Interest of the country they
and we love be misrepresented be-
fore the public, and their char
acters maligned?
iMosesty is in danger because it
thyows itself a victim to the un-
mercy of the fiend-dangerous
because 1t throws temptation in
the way of the otherwise we'll
meaning youth.
We want the army post in Taco
ma and II the mothers watch the
gifls and the girls watch them
selves all will be we'll.

Bearing upon the wall of the
pacifists that universal compulsory
military service here would make
us war-like, it is of interest to note
what F.. Won Bernhard says in that
connection with reference to the
Germans in his book on Germany
and the Next War" at page II.
In complaining that the Ger
mans had become a peace low
ing-an almost too peace loving
-nation,' and seeking to give the
reasons for that sad state of af-
fairs Bernhard said:
Universal military service, too,
contributes to the love of peace,
for war in these days does not
merely affect, as formerly, def
mite limited circles, but the whole
nation suffers alike. All families
and all classes have to pay the
same toll of human lives"

MAYOR MAKES
A final Plea

sary by reason of the presence o.
this large army of good custo
mers.
The fact Is these objections
are purely imaginary.
And the best evidence of IL
Is found In the testimony of
those who already live near
army posts. Every city In
the land near an army post
Is strong for IL, and will fight
to a finish to prevent its re-
movaI.
Experience has shown they
are "a great benefit. An army
post Is a guaranty against
hard times, for the soldiers
job always lasts and his pay
is always sure.
On the other hand, benefits
from the army post could be emu,
merated all day. There is nc
limit. 1t will make more work
for all, there will be more money
in circulation, more prosperity fol
everybody.
1t will bring new business here
stimulate old business. 1t will
cause building boom, labor
boom, a business boom and every
citizen in Tacoma and Pierce
county ought to take off his coat
Saturday morning and work al
day for a unanimous vote for the
army post bonds.
1t is the greatest opportunit!
Tacoma ever had. She will neve
get another to compare with it.

Of America has prevailed, and while
there Is not the same gorgeous dis
play as in the past, evening clothes
are worn, and rarely beautiful ones
at that. The President of the United

simply dressed, but she seemed i'm
mensely interested in hustle dresses
on the stage and the costumes scat
tered everywhere over the house.
Picturesque, indeed, are the COM
