FOOD SPECULATION MUST STOP.

While tlle directors Of the grain exchanges of
Chicago, st. Louis, Minneapolis and other cities
have temporarily halted trading in wheat and
other commodities FASTENED to this action by fear
Of public wrath, what they have done is but tenn
porary in its character and confined only to those
agencies under their jurisdiction and does not
and cannot afford permanent relief from inflated
speculation. That must c0me-and food specula-
ton must of course be ended for at least the
period Of the war-through congressional action
along the lines proposed and advocated by the
national administration as declared by Carl Vroo-
man, assistant secretary of agriculture, in his re-
markable statement published elsewhere in this
issue. Supplementing this it may be necessary for
the several states and cities and towns generally
to meet the situation in their respective localities
through adequate and enforceable legislation.
Wheat speculation, before the restraint was put
on, had aroused the ire of congress, particularly
Of the senator's not few of whom declared the
food gamblers should be strung up to lamp-posts.
Secretary Vrooman, speaking in his official capac
ity, called them allies of the kaiser-unpatriotic
and disloyal-who should be made to feel the
loathing and contempt of every patriotic Amer
lean" The popular opinion and reference to
them has been equally emphatic; almost universal
has been the demand that the government step in
and put them out of business.
This is what the administration has proposed
and, as Mr.. Vrooman says, the legislation should
have been enacted several weeks ago, but our un-
wieldy, slowly-moving legislative mill has hardly
begun work it yet For some days now we
will be treated with highly interesting remarks of
what most Of congressman think about it,
speculation going on all the while in some form or
another, and finally the enactment will come.
What the administration proposes was pub
ished at considerable length in this paper last
week. How the administration arrived at its pro-
posal and what it thinks about food speculation in
general, revealed in Mr.. Vrooman's state
ment If our legislative machinery not
sambersome-if most of our five hundred con-
eressmen didn't have to 'spiel" certain amount
- we might now have the relief we need so
badly.

AWORD TO THE TACOMA TRIBUNE.

1t is time for somebody around the, Tacoma
Tribune Office to wake up and realize what is
going on only thirtyfve miles away, to appreciate
the fact that Olympia is not only and not merely
the state capital but that it is also forging ahead
rapidly and strongly as an industrial center and
has two big shipyards, Of them the finest
wooden shipbuilding plant in the world the vir-
tua assurance Of third and perhaps others, and
turns out tremendous amount of logs and finished
lumber in its camps and mills.
The Tacoma Tribune apparently does not know
that Olympia is on the map industrially-at least
twice during the past week, once in news way
and once in editorial it passed us over entirely
and blithey, though mentioning all the cities
roundabout us. Referring to the protests of
Southwest Washington business interests to the
appointment Of Seattle banker as the lone ship
director of this section, it spoke of the yards at
Tacoma, Aberdeen and Hoquiam but did not men,
ton Olympia, and again, in commenting edito-
rally on the subject it referred to the sawmills
of Tacoma, Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Chehalis and
Centralia, when Olympia has shipyards and saw
mills as large, busy and as active as any in the
cities mentioned.
The Tribune is doing us an injustice and should
hasten to correct it.

TSVFTTs2Sc'I'S'sSsS'r =
From The Washington Standard for
Saturday Morning, May 10, 1867.
Vol. VII. No. %.
New York May Tt is stated that
the exchange of ratification Of the
Russian. treaty will take place in
Washington. After this it iE expected
that military agent will be sent from
|San Francisco to raise the United
States flag over the newly acquired
territory.
Three sailors, names unknown,
were killed at Port Townsend on
Thursday morning by q lawyer by
tho name of Trip, resident of Port
Townsend, and his brother-in-law by
the name of Keys, after they had
been attacked by the sailors in a dis
pute over fees Trip was to receive
for collecting money for them from
Captain Higgins. master Of a vessel
which recently arrived at Port
Gamble.
Spirit of the Canvass-From all
sections of the territory we receive
encouraging news. 1t is now believ-
ed that Clark's majority for delegate
to congress will be 1T least 100 on
the Sound, nearly as much in the
river counties, and 800 or 400 east
of the mountains.
The most amusing joke of the sea-
son is that perpetuated by the Rad
ical county convention last Saturday
in nominating for all tho important
county officers the leading boilers OF
last year.

WAR REVENUES.

There isn't an industry, including the newspa-
pers that will be called upon to pay larger taxes
on account of the war under the terms of the two
billion-dollar revenue bill that is pending in
congress, but what is kicking upon the provisions
of that measure and declaring that it means ruin
that it will drive them out of business that it is
unfair, unjust and discriminatory, and the trus-
tees of our own Chamber Of Commerce adopt SIM
liar tactics. Such talk is in large measure prepos
ferrous. Larger income taxes and larger taxes on
excess profits are necessary measure, just
as necessary as an army to do the fighting, and we
must make up our minds accordingly and prepare
to assume our share Of the burden. We must not
expect the other fellow to do the fighting and pay
the bill, too.

Elsewhere in this issue is published an article

Elsewhere in this issue is published an article
from a Seattle newspaper concerning Theodore
Roosevelts widely heralded army of volun
teers which he is anxious to lead to the trenches
in Europe. From it it appears that large body
Of troops supposed to have been raised in this
state have not been organized nor do the appoint
ed leaders know anything about them. Undoubt-
edly it is safe to assume the same situation exists
in other states and that the boosted army of
hundred and eighty-seven thousand volunteers is
a press-agent stunt. That is the Colonels long
suit-he is the cleverest publicity in the
woodland if he ever got to Europe that's the
way he d fight his battles, just as he did in the
Spanish American warm the newspapers.

SPEEDY LEGISLATION.

When the average American makes up his
mind to do anything. he does it right away and is
impatient at delay And when the representa-
tives of the average American decide upon GER
tain policy, he wants them to act and act
promptly Consequently there has been lot Of
criticism and lot of unpleasant remarks have
been made about congress during the last couple
of weeks because from the average Americans
viewpoint it has been fussing around so long on
war legislation losing and wasting lot OF valu-
able time.
But when you look back at the history of the
legislative assemblies of England and France IN
the days when they entered the world war, you
will find that they were much slower than we
have been. Furthermore, such is the history OF
all democraces-it takes time to bring their IN
dependent forces into coordination, to weld them
into the machine that is needed. True, as the
average American says, We should profit by the
Allies mistakes and doubtless we will in great
measure; but we must remember that legislation
= almost always the result of compromise, that
there are more than five hundred members OF our
Congress, that each one Of them has his owa-yiews
his own axe to grind, his own constituency to rep
resent, and that all these take time.
Speaking for ourselves, it is to us but another
demonstration that our national legislative sys-
TEN, as we'll as our state, is too unwieldy, too
cumbersome, in its own formation compelling
delay no matter how speedily our representatives
might want to act. Perhaps it is for our own
good that it is SO; anyhow we must face and
accept the fact and not get too impatient about
II Eventually congress will enact the legislation
the administration has proposed and the needs Of
the time demand. The intervening discussion
will make ell the issues clear to u.s.

Announce First Aid Schedules.

Classification of all the industries
of Washington has been made and
announced by the medical first aid
board, working under the first aid
act passed by the legislature of 1917.
This is one of the first duties OF the
new board, as May was fixed for the
time of making collections from en-
ployers and employees. The scale
fixes the rate each industry must pay
toward the first aid fund. the en-
ployer and employee each paying half
of the fixed rate. First aid payments
on injuries from this fund will begin
on June 80.
