TARIFFS. LEGISLATIVE PROBLEM

Washington. June Is The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
its president. Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr, today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington headquar.
ters:
A member of the T. S. Tariff Com
mission advocates a law which will
authorize the president to levy by
proclamation additional duties on
goods which are being Systematically
dumped into the United States. or to
prohibit their importation in case he
has reason to believe that the result
will be to injure. destroy or prevent
the establishment of an American in

will see the danger or repetition of

tunities for that sort of thing is hard

The proper policy for America Is
to regard importations of articles that

producers should be fixed by law and
not be subject to the varying dis
cretion of a president, especially one
who believes in the removal of all

subject wholly from the standpoint

of constitutional law it is doubtful
whether any pretext could be devised
that would sustain even technically a
delegation of power to the president

The Business Boom

A few months ago sentiment as to
the business outlook was greatly div
ided. Many authorities took most de-
pressed view. They saw widespread
Unemployment, soldiers lying around
idle. the whole country torn up by
labor troubles, and general unrest and
perhaps revolutionary movements
1t is marvellous how business is re-
adjusting itself after the strain of
devastating war Little is heard about
unemployment. The principal ques-
ton so far is as to where the labor
is going to come from to harvest the
crops.
The big burst of confidence is evid-
enced in pronounced stock market
advance. Evidently a lot of people
are willing to back up their hopes with
their money. Leading financters agree
that the outlook is promising for un-
usual prosperity So business men
who. are hesitating on account of their
doubts and fears. as so frequently hap
pens, are probably missing opportun-
tiles that others Of more hopeful tenn
permanent will gather in.

HUNTER WHO Boosted OF
PR0WESS IS ARRESTED
Tom Gidtlings Pays $75 Fine for
Having Venison-Nabbed by
Warden King.

Tom Giddings, of Plumb Station
formerly of Rainier, isn't going
around boasting any more how he
put it over on the game wardens-
Warden King nabbed him last Fri
day after he had searched his house
and found chunk of venison, and
after a session before Police Judge
Walter Crosby. Giddings, pleading
guilty. was fined SIS and costs.
"Giddings has long boosted that
he was one of the 'non-gettables'
Warden King said in telling of the
arrest. HE has been considered one
of the worst offenders in the county
and had been arrested only once be-
fore"
King had been laying for" Gid
dings for some time, he said. Fri
day he got a search warrant and
went to his home. where he found
the chunk OF venison. Giddings
finally admitted he had killed the
deer last Sunday near Rainier and
agreed to plead guilty to the charge
of having venison in his possession
illegally.

KEEP AIR PRESSURE

MOTORISTS LOSE MILEAC

just as big robust man takes his
good health as a matter of course

SO little attention to them.
Everything has its limit of endur.
ance-cord tires along with other
things-and while motorist NAV
misuse his tires and yet obtain a fair
ly satisfactory service from them. he
obviously is not getting their full
quota of inbuilt mileage. And in
these days when, in the interest of
economy and conservation every tire
should be made to run out it's last
possible mile, the motorist who is
wasting portion of the life of his
tires is not doing his full duty.
According to G. E. Drummer, man

company's service department. fully
40 per cent of the new cord tires that
have been sold by that company's
service stations in the last few
months. to replace worn out cords.

Radiator shutters which open and

the motor, depending upon the tenn
perature, are an exclusive feature of
the Columbia Six, according to H. H
Heard, manager of the Columbia Sales
company of Tacoma, who has been
spending the week with the local
Columbia gency, the Marcott Motor
company.
These shutters enable the motor
to operate at the most efficient tenn
perature, winter or summer" Heard
says. They insure perfect carbure-
ton, utmost motor efficiency and gas.
oline economy, and do away with the
multitude of motor troubles due to
variations in weather and tempera-
ture.
This is but one of the many adj

performance; because of the parts

"You will like the Columbia Six

almost invariably the untimely de
mise OF the tire could be traced to
the lack of proper cir pressure.
Because of the larger air capacity
IN our cord tires and their greater
feAlbility and more durable construc-
ton. we have advocated initiation
pressure for cord tires 10 per cent
lower than for fabric tires" says Mr..
Drummer, but motorists, encouraged
by the good service received have
been revising our imitation schedules
downward and becoming careless
about proper imitation. A recent in
vestigation which we made showed
that many cord tire users were car
.rying only about half the recon-
mended air pressure. And yet the
great majority of these motorists
were obtaining what to them was
very satisfactory service
I'm these days, when every cubic
foot of shipping space on our ocean
liners is almost priceless, every pound
of rubber should be made to do it's
full duty and every tire should be
made to deliver it's full measure of
miles. Our cord tires have 10 pc:
cent larger air capacity than the
same size in fabric tires, so the fac
tor of safety in air pressure for cord
tires we place at 10 per cent When
ever a motorist runs his tires at a
less pressure than our recommends
ton he pays for his greater ease of
riding with a portion of the life of
his tire.
THE use of cord tires is increas-
ing rapidly and will continue to do
so. because of their easy riding quail
tiles and the increased mileage they
deliver. But sufficient attention must
be paid to the maintenance of proper
air pressures if they are to be per-
mitted to run out their full life The
layers of rubber between the plies of
cords are heavy-so heavy that the
tres will hold up under a tremen-
dous amount of punishment-but
they have a limit, and whenever that
limit is reached the motorist pays
for his experience with mileage that
is Topped off his tires"

HUNTING OF UPLAND
BIRDS IS CHANGED
ACTIONS OF COUNTY GAME COM
MISSIONS OVERRULED BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Sweeping changes are made in the
upland bird seasons of the state of
Washington as the result of two opin-
ions of Attorney General L. L.
Thompson to State Game Warden L.
Fl. Darwin, September 8. The effect
of these opinions is to nullify the ac-
ton of many of the county game COM
missions in the state attempting
changes in their upland bird seasons
BY upland birds is meant the various
kinds of pheasants, partridge, prairie
chicken, grouse, sage hen, wild tur-
key, quail, etc.
The game law provides that the
county game commissions, with the
consent of the state game warden,
may shorten. close or open" the up
land bird seasons in their respective
counties. 1t has been the generally
accepted belief that this gave the
county game commissions the right
to make any alterations in their up
land bird seasons they thought nee
essay in order to preserve and pro.
tect the game.
August p, in an opinion to the
state game warden, the attorney gen.
eral held that this expression only
meant that county game commissions
could close or shorten the open sea-
sons established by statute. and there.
after could open or close the seasons
so shortened.
Upon receipt of this opinion State
Game Warden Darwin Immediately
submitted to the attorney general
! list of all the changes made by the
county game commissions in the up
land bird seasons, as he was con-
vinced that under the attorney gen.
erals opinion many of these changes
were illegal The attorney general
was requested and in compliance
with this request has indicated which
changes are legal and which are lille
gal, the changes being given below.
The question of deciding which
changes are legal and which are lille
gal involved a construction of the up
land bird section of the game code.
which is section % of the compiled
code. This is very long section
and has received numerous amend
ments at the hands of the legislature
The attorney generals opinion holds
that many of the provisions in the
section are entirely superfiuous and
are contradictory of the first or the
enacting clause of the section which
makes 1t unlawful to kill any of the
upland birds of the state save as
thereafter in the section provided.
OF chief interest to sportsmen is
the fact that during the present year
in Eastern Washington the only coun-
ties in which Chinese pheasants may
be killed are Benton, Yakima and
Stevens and from October LIST to Oc-
tober 18th, both dates inclusive.
An application Of the attorney gen.
erals opinion to the existing statute
law and to those changes which have
been made by the county game COM
missions which the attorney general
holds are legal, leaves the following
lawful open seasons on upland birds
in Western Washington counties:

Gle certain agricultural products was
given to the department, and the indi-
cations are that, with the return of

act will result in the better storing of
farm products, the sterilization of mar

more easily negotiable warehouse re-
ceipts.

power and with adequate funds to
meet the requirements Of the federal

"The federal reserve act, which has
benefited every citizen through it's in
1luence on banking throughout the
Union, included provisions especially
designed to assist the farming popu-
lation. 1t authorized national banks
to lend money on farm mortgages, and
recognized the peculiar needs Of the
farmer by giving his paper a maturity
period of six months.
"This was followed by the federal
farm loan act, which created Il bank
ing system reaching Intimately into

terms suited to the farm owners
needs. This system began operations
under the troubled conditions Of the
world war, and it's activities were i'm
peded by the vast changes incident to
the entry of this country into the con-
flict. But, in spite Of these difficulties,
it has made remarkable Roadway, and
there is little doubt that after the re-
turn of peace. its development will be
rapid and will more than fill the ex.
pectations of the people,"
