ONE WAY TO REMEDY
THE WHEAT SHORTAGE

According to the Billings, Mon
tana, Gazette of April y, there are
30,000.000 acres of first class wheat
lands in the State. The census of
1910 shows the improved acreage of
farm lands in Montana to be but
3,640,309. So according to the Ga
zette's figures there must be more
than 2G000,000 acres of first-class
wheat lands lying idle. This is an
important item, considering that the
country is threatened with a wheat
shortage.
Something ought to be done to
force this land into use. The easiest
way would be to levy heavy tax
on land values. The owners of these
lands would then find it to their in
terest either to grow wheat thereon,
in order that they might get the
money to pay the taxes, or let others
do so.
A suggestion to this effect, not
only for these Montana lands, but all
other unused valuable lands, has
been made by Herbert Quick, of the
Federal Farm Loan Board. His rec
ommendation is one that should be
followed. 1t is sound economically
and every other way. If congress-
men and State legislators would nav
some attention to the advice of men
like Hebert Quick, the nation would
be in better shape.-American Eco
nomic League.

RAPID GROWTH OF
LABOR UNIONS II, THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Organization of labor in the Pa
cific Northwest never saw a more
rapid growth than at present, reports
Secretary Charles Perry Taylor, of
the State Federation of Labor Since
the convention held in Everett last
January, Secretary Taylor has or
gained seventeen local unions in
Western Washington, with a total
charter membership exceeding 1000
in number
These organizations, new branches
of International Unions and of the
American Federation of Labor, are
located in Puget Sound, Aberdeen
and Columbia river cities and towns,
including several lines of industry,
public and private employment. The
navy yard laborers at Bremerton,
ship carpenters and ship yard labor
ers at Olympia and Aberdeen, auto
repair machinists and women en-
ployes of large public utility cor
poration are included in the list of
unions formed, as we'll as the city
firemen of Tacoma.
Mr.. Taylor's latest work has been
the successful conduct of Labor
Forward Movement on Grays Harbor
which resulted in 100 per cent affil-
iation in the central bodies Of sew
eral new unions and more splendid
spirit of unity and harmony than has
existed for years. At Camas, Wash,
on the Columbia river, Secretary
Taylor is completing two organiza-
tionS numbering over 700 men in two
large unions of the employees of a
large paper mill. These may be fol-
lowed by other organizations of la
Dor there also.
at is an i'll wind that blows no.
body good" says the Secretary. la
Dor is scarce and the cost of living
rising. The workers are organizing
now, at last seeing that they must
do so in simple self protection"

ly rehabilitate the very wealthy in
the estimation of the public; and it
will also make the citizens of small
err means, who go to the front, feel
that they are being Loyalty supported
by the nations more fortunate
classes.
Speaking of such men, Mr.. Scripps
said;
"These men, to large extent at
least, suffer extremely from what
they feel is the unjust judgment of
the great mass of people.
Nov, all of a sudden, there is
presented to them an opportunity
the Nations great need for great
sums of money-to show their pa

"When man by the practice of

investing money profitably, it is very
difficult for him, and really very
painful for him to pour out his
money in so-called Philanthropy; be-
cause their own experience and OBJ
servation have proved to them that
the means of philanthropy are gen
orally very wasteful; that it takes
from fifty to seventy-five cents out
of every dollar so invested to pay
the middlemen and the overhead
charges; so that only from twenty
five to fifty cents of the dollar spent
ever becomes a real investment. To
such men it is a godsend to have the
government come along and take
away as an Income Tax and an In
heritance Tax their burdensome sur
plusses.' u
That this view is shared by bust
ness men throughout the country is
evidenced by the telegram quoted be-
low, which is one of many similar
expressions received from similar
sources:

 EDGAR BLACKWELL
Mrs. Blackwell Leaves After Bolt, Returning to Find
 House in Flames.

 Mrs. Blackwell was at the garage, preparing to drive uptown for MT. Blackwell when the bolt struck. She was a bit dazed, as was also the baby, by the shock, but paid little attention to it, and came 10 town. MT. and Mrs. Blackwell were on their way home when the fire whistle sounded, neighbors having noticed the fire and turned in the alarm.
 MT. Blackwell said the fire had evi- dently caught in the attic, which $ large, and had gained great headway before it was discovered, this being due principally to the fact that none of the members of the family were at home. The fire department made very quick run to the scene, despite the interference on the part of pri- vate automobiles wrich caused some delay in Main street to the passage of the apparatus and especially to Chief Breiner's car.
 MT. Blackwell state.l that he be- lieved his loss is covered by insu- rance. The department was com- pelled to use great quantity c1 water to extinguish the fire and tho contents of the entire house, 2 roomy, two-story structure, were badly damaged by water as result
