THIS REPORT SHOWS
FACTS THAT INTEREST

\ careful study of the annual re-
port OF the olympia Light & Power
Company to its stockholders shows a
number of interesting facts. This re-
port is not only of interest TO those
who are financially interested in the
company, but to others as we'll.
The report is an infalliable ba-
rometer of Olympia's steady growth,
as may be learned from a comparison
of figures given out by the company
When the news reached this city
that the shipyards were to be closed
and that no more ships were to be
built. there were many who thought
that it spelled the doom of Olympia.
but it has proven that the shipbuild-
ing industry was only the nucleus
from which the real growth of the
city was to come - acting as a slim
luent and awakening the citizens to
degree of ambition whereby they
would take advantage of the splendid
opportunities awaiting them here.
The Light & Power Company report
shows that in 1919 the street railway
and bus line carried 4O.482 more pas
sengers in 1919 than were transport
ed in 1918.
On January l, 1919, the men en-
ployed at the shipyard numbered
about one-half as many as were en-
ployed in 1918. And in addition to
this. during the year of 1918, Camp
Lewis was full of embryo soldiers in
training for overseas service. Each
weekend saw Olympia full of home
boys in khaki. as we'll as almost num-
berless of Others who came here to
enjoy the splendid hospitality of the
city. On Saturday nights the street
cars were crowded with soldiers and
their friends going to the Red Cross
dances at Tumwater club. Also the
mid-week dances brought many from
the camp. On Saturday night the
cars were loaded and usually ran on
q 15-minute schedule until / O'Clock
Sunday morning. Those were con-
sidered banner days for the street
cars.
But, in 1919, the passenger traffic
surpassed 1918 by more than 10000
people. During the past year the
mileage travelled was less by 9,213
miles. The difference in miles trav-
eled is attributed to the traffic being
greater and more equalized. The abb
sence of Camp Lewis soldiers denim
ishing Saturday night Tumwater runs
to less cars and shorter hours.
These 4O,482 additional passengers
are home folks and not shipyard en-
ployes and Camp Lewis soldiers.
Not only with the street railway,
but with the various lines of trade
is it found that business is greater
now than it was in 1918.
This is especially true in the realty
business. Members of the various
real estate firms say that the demand
for residences and small truck tracts
grow greater all the time, and that
1t is next to impossible to supply the
demand for rented property.
There is one thing in connection
with recent growth of Olympia which
is very gratifying to those who are
seeking home. and that is, that the
realty prices here have not advanced
but very little over that asked few
years ago.

the acreage was cultivated. But it is
useless to boast of what we are able
to do unless we do 1t.
How it can be done has been dem
onstrated in those section of the
South where the people have conserved
space and have applied scientific
methods OF cultivation both to cotton
and food crops.
The South win never dethrone cot
ton. Cotton is king for all time. II
the day ever comes when we seek to
put him in an obscure place, then the
South will lose more than she will
gain. But, while We recognize the
value of cotton, particularly in the
cotton belts where 50 long the staple
has reigned supreme, let US not over
look the fact that the world needs
food as well as raiment and that unless
the South, with its vast uncultivated
areas. does its part in supplying this
need. the people will not only fail in
business judgment but will be unfaith-
full in their duty to themselves and to
the rest OF the world.

Should Use the Second
Choice Votes Privilege.


The second choice vote privilege
should be used by all voters. There
are some who believe they gain some
advantage for their candidate by sin
gle shotting." as it is called. Nothing
to it. The second choice vote is log
ical, proper and right. It tends to
bring out majority vote. If every
voter used his second choice vote
there would be a majority choice every
time. 1t is only when Is to 30 per
cent of the electorate do not use it
that the reproach of minority choice"
can be raised and then only in cases
where there is big field of candi-
dates such as there happens to be this
time in Hillsborough county in the
county judges race.
The second choice vote merely gives
you in one primary what you
formerly got in two and gives it to you
without any of the rancors, scandals,
expenses and political complications Of
the second primary.
Lack of understanding of its uses
causes the prejudice against it and
that is rapidly disappearing, The
Times believes. Use your second
choice vote. 1t is not only a right, but
a privilege you should not throw away.

Graves advertisement seems to- have
made Smithwick more votes than ii
has cost him. The farmers are well
enough posted to know that the most
features OF the Esch bill,
which Mr.. Graves takes Mr.. Smith
wick to task for voting against, would
in terms, il not in words make the
Walton County Swine Growers Asso-
citation a band Of law breakers. The
farmers might have been fooled once,
but too many of them take papers now.
We predict that Watson will now give
a close race for third place.
