some of the largest and most impos-
ing houses and the finest residence
lots are surrounded by the heaviest

"* the best paid artisans In
cities do not receive as great a wage
for the year as the average farmer. =
If this be true the joke is on the
best paid artisan. At Chicago the
milk commission refused to allow
farmers 80 cents an hour wages for
producing milk. in various cities
| newspapers and other agencies have
| fought the demands of milk produc-
ers that they be allowed to pay them
selves a managerial salary The
wages of city plumber would seem
like riches to the average farmer.
Another intellectual pearl, thrown
out in the same newspaper, is the
| assertion that the average farmer
does not work eight hours day the
year round.
In some sections of the country
this is true. These are the same To-
calities, however, in which a custom
er is nuisance because he disturbs
the merchants nap. 1t is also true
OF certain one-crop areas, but for the
great misunderstanding neral-farm-
ing area it is not true.
Possibly it may surprise our city
editorial gossips to learn that even
in the winter time there are always
duties on the farm, and the farmer
arises at what they would consider
al impossibly early hour. Daylight
saving is nothing new to the farmer
He has saved all he could of it at
both ends of the day, so much SO
that he has been dubbed by the joke
sters, with considerable truth, the
original eight-hour man, working
eight hours before noon and eight
hours after.
No doubt it will pain these city
historians of farm life to learn that
50 far no plan has been devised
whereby the farmer can lie in bed in
/ the morning and touch electric but
tons which will feed the hogs, sheep,
cattle, horses and chickens; milk the
COWS, including the heifer with a
sore teat, run q vacuum cleaner over
the stock; haul the feed; deliver the
milk; fix fences, chop wood and do
the thousand end one other chores OF
a general farm. Instead oil this ideal
arrangement with which they would
divide the farmers day into eight
hours for work, eight hours for SLEEP
and eight for play, he finds it neces-
sary to answer the early summons oil
the rooster and spend at work the
eight hours which they would give
him for the daily romp with the
young things of the farm.-Thc

Pullman needs more efficient
fire fighting system and needs it bad
ly. At the fire on College hill Tues
day morning lack of adequate equip
ment, lax organization and small
town system resulted in disorganiza-
ton, delay and inefficiency that was
deplorable. Necessary tools had been
mislaid and valuable time was lost
in locating them. Not enough hose
was available to reach both sides OF
the structure and protect nearby
residences. The taxpayers are per-
fectly willing to spend little money
to remedy this condition and the city
council should lose no time in TAX
ing steps to make fire fighting easier
and surer Enough money would be
saved in few years in decreased in
surance rates, or, perhaps, in single
fire loss. to purchase a chemical en-
CINE and adequate apparatus. With
this equipment and the Inauguration
of modern system, the organiza-
ton and maintenance of an efficient
fire department would be a simple
matter, end would cost but little.

PULLMAN MUST
HOUSE NEWCOMERS

Pullman is confronted with a seri-
Gus situation which must be solved,
and soon, if the city and the college
are to continue to expand and to
develop as during the past 20 years.
Places of residence must be provided
for the many families who are at
tracted to Pullman by the exception
a. educational advantages offered by
the State College and the public
schools. At present the situation
is a deplorable one. Many families
are now seeking places of residence
and but few are available. Some
who would make this city their home,
will go to other places. to be lost
forever to this community. The city
will suffer and the college will SUIT
fer. The growth of both depends,
to a great extent, upon the ability
of the city to take care of the scores
of families of newcomers who each
year choose Pullman as their home.
This week a mother from Central
Washington came to Pullman with
her son, who desires to enter the
State College, and her daughter, VINO
would enroll in the high school.
After day of househunting she was
ON the verge of desperation and stat
&c that unless she could find a resi-
dence soon she would go to Moscow
to make her home. This is probably
but one of several such situations
and it is up to the progressive cit.
liens of Pullman to take immediate
steps to alleviate the condition.
The immediate construction OF
several large apartment houses has
been suggested, and the plan is a
meritorious one, but must be backed
by the citizens who are in a finan-
cial position to make this solution
possible. These men, it appears, are
not fully awake to the situation which
confronts the city, and are content
To sit idly by and let the long grow
Ing city and college lie dormant
while they argue that the investment
would not be a profitable one to
them, in dollars and cents.

1t is passing strange that the
liquor champions have not charged
the high cost of living to prohibition,
because there would be some logic
in the contention. The fact that
millions of dollars formerly squan-

now spent for food and clothing has
naturally increased the demand for
the latter commodities, and in
creased demand means higher prices.

DECEPTIVE STATEMENTS

A Gossip is one who bears tales
Usually these tales are based on ru-
NOR or half fact and in the popular
mind the telling of them is assoeiat-
ed with sunbonnets, long noses and
high-pitched voices. But great
many gossips are masculine and this
editorial refers to particularly per-
nicious and harmful sort of male
trouble maker.
We are thinking of those editor
ial writers on city newspapers who
persist in calling the farmers of the
country profiteers, and who make
other vicious and ignorant charges
which are widening a dangerous
class-hatred breach lAll the real
evidence that anyone has adduced
proves that farmers are not profit
GERS. Very few of them had suffi-
cient income to demand an income
tax return. Such ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
surveys and cost-accounting figures
as are available show that the aver
age farmer does not earn interest ON
MS investment and establish conclu-
sively that he is able to make wages
only by selling off the fertility
reserve in his soil and compelling
his family to labor without compen-
sation.
Because tho farmer gets most of
the packers dollar, it does not prove
that he makes a large profit off his
cattle. Who gets the most of the
consumers dollar? There is the
trail to the skunks den. Nor was
the price of wheat fixed up. 1t was
fixed down, and everyone who pos
esses any accurate knowledge on the
subject knows it.
The real profiteers, as proven by
the income-tax returns. do business
Just around the corner from the
sanctum where the snappy newspa-
per economists write their drivel re-
garding farms and farmers. But
these editorial Samsons, casting
about for subjects to fill their col
umns every day. possessing a mighty
show of courage of any convictions
they can hear of or think of for space
filters, and brave enough not TO let
their Ignorance of farming deter
them from solving the economic
problems of the back country, clutch
at the rumors about farmers making
lot of money, and parade them be-
fore their readers with show OF
strong words and ornate phrases.
Their work has the high sound of
truth, because of their cleverness
put 1t is plain bunk Never do they
refer back to the dark days of crop
failure and ruinously low prices ia

orool dealt out by these factless
lightning calculators Is this phrase
