What About Cement?

waht about the cement plant? This subject has been given a rest of some weeks, the while, sup pose board of governors of the Water Users citation looking into the matter The county highway commission. meanwhile is ready to proceed. It has gone ahead with work and has done about all it can in the way of getting ready to build good roads. But it has no cement The commission has also given out that it will have at $54o barrel the lowest price which any member of the Portland Cement association, commonly called the cement trust, has yet hinted The commission that price is prohibtive At that price but small part of the program voted for last spring could be carried out. This that the building of per msnent good roads in this county will be indefinitely delayed snd we think that the voters would rather suffer the delay than have million dollars frittered away in freight charges and half million more converted into cement trust profits
 We believe the trust by this time is pretty well convinced that no cement at s34O barrel any where that will into the good roads program But is still interested in preventing the local manufacture of cement It cannot if it would reduce the price of cement for road making without reducing it for all purposes. It would, therefore, rather should have good roads than lose the profits that would accrue from the sale of ment in this market for years to come
 The trust is determined that we shall have local cement we nave heard the arguments or US repre- sentatives We have heard these arguments repeated by men whose interests seemingly local; whose interests should be with the valley and with them selves as opposed the interests of the trust But they have evidently became consciously or sciously the tools of the trust whose ways above ground direct, but underneath, gopher like
 know that the people who voted that s4,O00o00 bond issue want to make that money go as far as possible in building the best roads possible the built only of concrete. They. therefore unless it is manufactured at home. If they, that s those who are members of the Water Users association given opportunity to vote on that proposition they will vote to take the local cement plant, only that there may be cheap for the roads but that there may be cheap cement their many for houses for silos for head gates for ditch lining for other of which they deprived by a prohibitive price.
 do not know how the board of governors of the association feel about it. whether the governors intend to allow the members of the association the privilege of voting this vital proposition through the Water Users council has recommended that the be given this privilege
 We understand that the governors are still con- ducting investigation which in of MT Duryeas report seems superfluous. But at any rate trust that it will soon be concluded so that if the boards decision should be adverse some other might taken for acquiring the local plant. The beginning af the road building has already been long delayed.

Cause and Effect

Has Mr. Harding, governor of the federal board placed the cart before the horse in his statement that imitation the effect the cause of advancing wages and prices He has perhaps. been rnisled by an unusual an easily explained pheno- rnenon-tha is that there was an increase of wages and also of prices before there was imitation. But when imitation began though both had their origin in war conditions there no other relation between them.
 The nations sudden and urgent need of labor, and the withdrawal of many able bodied from fields e industry naturally caused advance of wages So here were two causes for this advance There were two causes for an advance of prices the governments sudden and urgent need of production and commodities and the higher cost of commodities resulting ony in part the higher wages paid for their production Initiation would have been necessary if there had been no advance in wages and if the production had at that time so increased that there had been no advance in prices. The government had to have these commodities Private individuals had have more money to speed up production; so had 10 have imitation. What occurred after imitation is what points out the relation that thereafter established between imitation hand and higher wages and prices on the other.
 When the need of the country for money has been filled there has always been an advance in price and usually a slighter advance in wages When the currency deflated there has always been

The situation has illustrated in this In order perform unusual task takes stimuant: that is imitation It been the expert ence of those who have had much 10 do with stimu- lsnts that there follows compensatory depression.

 After Mary had come back from the depths of the sea and had received the congratulations of the admiring crew of the tug, we moved slowly along the coast at my request. Far away I could see the fishermen's cottages. In one of them Hamilton Certeis was concealed; I was convinced that there was the mysterious hospital where he was recovering from hurts received in the auto crash

meals-and then eating the results
of their labors. While the meals
were not served in home economic
style, they were eaten with a relish
as the party had been enjoying the
open air and all the comforts Cd of
camp life.
Much interest was aroused by the
finding of large numbers of red gar
nets and anyone wishing to see some
of these stones in the rough should
see any one of the members of the

The party returned to Pullman

FROSH-SOPH GLEE WON
BY SENIOR CLASS
Original Songs, Mass Singing and
Stunt Give '19eIs First Place;
Frosh Close Second

Because they originated five songs
and put them over the fOotligLts with
plenty Of spirited mass singing, and
because they offered an original
stunt typifying their four years OF
college life, the members of the
class of 10 won the FrOsh-Soph Glee
on Frid2y evening, May %. Stand
ing close second were the freshmen
and following in the judges IA
vor, came sophomores ana Juniors.
The senior class, in seeing them
selves as others might, harked back
to the days of greenness, presenting
a group of stick candy infants intent
on books end flirting alternately.
Then followed a sophomore picnic
with all the prerequisite require
ments including checked hats, tough
looking sweaters, Wieners and a yell
low moon CD shining through the
tree in the background Superior
juniors in white and black next
winked through their monocles and
tWirled their canes to the JOY of the
audience, and lastly appeared the
familiar black cap and gown of the
seniors themselves.
In presenting a faculty meeting,
just after q junior sneak the fresh
men class cleverly and figuratively
brought down the house, especially
in so far as Dean Beach's nod and
Dean Whites laugh were concerned.
The youth of President Holland and
Vice President Waller somewhat
marred the effect of their weighty
opinions, and had 10 Williams
crossed his feet as he pulled down
his senior sweater, the effect would
have been still more telling.
TIL sophomore offering of any fra
ternity or sorority house just after
dance was true to life TO say the
least. especially in regard to the an
nouncement of another college en-
gagment" in two separate and more
ing of the serenaders in for little
impromptue affair indoors was per-
hans the most novel and highly or
ieinal way of getting the entire class
onto the stage for SONGS and yells'
but in original imitativeneas Mr.. Sid
new Allison is deserving Of special
mention.
The junior class appearing first
as a bunch of "swells" off on sneak
gave some clever songs and good
wells, and certainly would have won
a higher place in the final score had
their stunt been more in evidence.

The University of Idaho claims
that Parker should have been dis

the baton in the last lap of the relay
race. The rule governing this is.
Within 25-yard zone each run.
ner must pass the baton to his team

ally passed, not thrown or dropped
by contestant and picked up by the

The above rule says nothing what
ever in regard to him carrying it

Idaho admits that the spirit of the
rule has not been broken, but claims
that the man must carry he baton all
the way with him.
Varnell, the judge Of the last
takeoff, has turned the matter over
to the amateur athletic council and
