Letters from the People

Editor Courier-Reporter: .~s>
There should be something done to
check the reckless driving by irrespon-
sible autoists.
There is scarcely one who may read
this who cannot call to mind some in
cident which threatened damage to
property and life.
Of course, at times, accidents seem
unavoidable, and there are some men
who, after being responsible for one
have the uprightness to at least offer
to make good the loss sustained. Also
there are the other kind.
For instance, on Thanksgiving Day
a well known Kennewick man was
coming home. In the Ford with him
were his wife and two boys; also
another, an elderly man likewise well
known and highly respected.
Behind them came one of these
speed-fiends in a heavy, high powered
roadster.
In attempting to flash by, the road
ster struck the Ford amidships, over
turning it, threw out the woman and
boys, pinning the two men on the
ground. "a
Z The driver of the roadster stopped
and helped to release them. Then be-
ing told that the older of the two men
needed the assistance of a doctor, took
him to where he lives alone on Mob
Hill and left him. rs.
Among other repairs the Ford re-,
quired were a new radiator, new
top and new wind shield. The driv-
er and his wife were badly shaken and
bruised. Their passenger suffered a
broken collar bone which because of
his age knits very slowly.
Now the driver of that roadster
should attempt to make good the dam
age which he has caused. Possibly
he intends to do so, and is just waiting
to find out what it will amount to.
But to date, if / am informed correctly,

MRS. VIM. SAXTON PAINTS
EDITH CAVELL MOUNTAIN
Former Kennewick Woman Wins Re-
cOgnition with Picture of
Canadian Peak

The Manitoba Free Press, of Winni-
peg, in recent issue, showed a re-
production of new picture from the
brush of Mrs. William Saxton, former
ly of this city. Of the picture the
Free Press says:
The glamor of that serene white
mountain-peak, Mount Edith Cavell,
standing amid it's sentinel evergreens
in Jasper park, has inspired promi-
nent Winnipeg artist, Mrs. Alice A.
Saxton, to paint picture which holds
the actual mirrow up to nature. The
large oil painting, which stands on an
easel in Mrs. Saxton's studio, shows
this peak, whose name shall perpetu-
ate the highest womanly heroism, as
seen on an August afternoon. Clouds
caress the summit with their soft,
wool-gray. There is suggestion of
depth and distance beyond the clear
thinning of the lower slopes. The
slanted strata of the snow and rock
is very realistic. Out from the foot
of the mountain rushes little tumb-
ling stream, the cascades almost SEEM
ing to move and bubble as they ap-
proach between bouldered and tall
swarthy pines. The whole has the
vestal and monumental quality of an
ancient temple in a splendid wilder
ness.
II made up my mind to paint that
wonderful mountain peak" said Mrs.
Saxton,. during a recent interview,
when came back from the west a
year ago; and this year / went out
purposely to paint it. There are, of
course, other higher peaks - Mount
Edith C avell is 1000 feet in height
but none of them have more beau
tiful light than that which rests on this
mountain both morning and evening.
The sketch of the mountain was made
in August. In idealizing the picture
from the preliminary sketch, few
changes have been made, which show
the mountain better without taking
away any of the truth to nature. In
every photograph that has been made,
for instance, the pines hide the peauty
and majesty of the peak with it's how
ering clouds. This has been corrected
in the painting.
81 have worked on this picture with
very great enthusiasm. Even before
commenced work, the mere planning
to do it filled me with delight; and
when i actually found myself face to
face with Mount Edith Cavell and its
majestic scenery I had the sensation
IF being in the midst of an ideal 10
,ality for an artist. Everything gave
pleasure to the eye."
1t is the artists intention to place
he picture of Mount Edith Cavell
Upon exhibition in a Portage avenue
window in the near future. Several
photographs which have been made of |
he painting show the wonderful fidel-
ty of the picture to nature-the pho
ographs giving the impression of hav-
ng been taken with the mountain it |
'elf, instead of the pictured likeness,
before the camera.

DRAFTING NEW REVENUE LAW

Hearings on new revenue bill have begun in
Washington.
According to reports, it is planned that the
bill shall take up to 80 per cent of all war
profits Senators who have the framing of the
measure in hand take the view that 20 per cent
war profit is sufficient to go into the pockets Of
the manufacturers.
These are days in which things are done on
an enormous scale. The national House of Re-
representatives. passed the army appropriation
BILL on May 3, carrying more than $12, 600, OOO,-
900 after but three days debate. Government
expenses, including loans to the allies, ran about
$1,5OO,OOOOO0 during May, and set a new high
record for any belligerent nation.
The editorial writer of the Chicago Tribune
says
'Next year living expenses will be higher.
Taxes will be much greater. The income tax,
which now touches hundreds Of thousands of
families, will probably be doubled. There will
be new and enormous bond issues. New calls
for funds will be made. y
How shall the individual American meet his
share of these mounting demands on his un-
elastic pocket-book?
There is only one way. Each of us must
save every possible cent. Summer is coming,
with it's opportunities for easy and pleasant va
cation spending We must cut every unneces-
sary cent out Of vacation expenses. We

SEEKING TO PREVENT PAPER MILLS
FROM CLOSING

Fuel priority for newspaper print mills was
reported as under consideration in Washington,
on May %, by the priorities committee OF the
war industries board.
This was brought about as a result Of COM
plants from newspaper print manufacturers
that coal has been diverted from their mills to
war industries, creating an actual paper short
age which threatens to drive hundreds OF news
papers out of existence unless remedied.
peculiar situation has come to light. A
few months ago, newspapers were placed on the
preferred fuel list, but the mills which manu-
facture the paper upon which the publications
are printed were left off, thus forcing them to
take their chances along with other industries
considered as nonessential to war work
At the present time, the rapid increase in the
price Of paper is causing general alarm, and it
is hoped to work out plan by which paper
mills will be put into preferred class by them
selves.
According to estimates, it takes one ton of
coal to manufacture one ton of print paper.

Justice Day, who rendered the opinion said
cover interstate transportation or it's incidents
the regulatory power Of congress is ample, but
the production Of articles, intended for inter-
state commerce, is matter Of local regulation.
eff it were otherwise all manufacture in
tended for interstate shipment would be brought
under federal control to the practical exclusion
of the authority Of the states, result certainly
not contemplated by the trainers OF the con-
stitution when they vested in congress the au-
thority to regulate commerce among the states.
''That there should be limitations upon the
right to employ children in mines and factories
IN the interest OF their own and the public
welfare all will admit.
''That such employmentis generally deemedto
require regulation is shown by the fact that the
brief Of counsel states that every state in the
union has law upon the subject, limiting the
right to thus employ children
"The power Of the states to regulate their
purely internal affairs by such laws as seem
wise to the local authorities is inherent and has
never been surrendered to the general govern
ment.
"The act, in twofold sense, is repugnant to
the constitution. 1t not only transcends the
authority delegated to congress over commerce
but also eXertS a power as to purely local
matter to which the federal authority does not
extend. If congress can thus regulate matters
intrusted to local authority by prohibition OF
the movement Of commodities in interstate COM
merce all freedom Of commerce will be at an
end and the power Of the states over local mat
ters may be eliminated and thus our system Of
government be practically destroyed -

clared congress was clearly within its consti-
tutional power in enacting the child labor law.

Where we have been wasteful we must be

U-BOATs RAID AMERICAN COAST
Observation-Disclosures

The announcement was telegraphed into every
part Of the country, on June 3, that the long
threatened German U-boat offensive against the
American Atlantic seaboard had started, and
the fact seems established that it is being car
ried out by at least two submarines OF giant
construction, and more heavily armed than any
under-sea raiders encountered before.
At present writing, it is conceded TACT tnat
at least twelve coastwise vessels have been sunk
off the highlands Of New Jersey. Included IN
the list is the New York and Porto Rlcan Lime
steamer Carolina, with 21S passengers aboard,
all of which were landed at Lewes, Delaware,
on June 4, with the exception OF ten NO trans
Atlantic ship has been attacked, at last accounts
Whether the two submarines, so far encount-
cred. are the vanguard Of feet intended to
blockage the American coast, or whether this
is merely a raid, remains to be SEEN
