Editor Tho star: In Thursdays

agitafors are educators. who delve
dseper than the surface Of things
upon which to base their agitation.
Personally. the writer has abso-
1utely no prejudices against any
church---Catholic or Protestant-but
The question remains. Are these

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION
Is SCORED

Editor The Star. The injustice Of
our primary election IL a matter that
wish to call TO your attention. also
that Of your readers.
Our past primary election was
naught else but the convention Of the
republican and democratic parties,
the expense Of which is thrown on
the state. A direct election would
eliminate this expense. Yet a part of
the same was made direct thru an
underhanded method that I do not
think meets with the approval Of the
general public. That is the declara-
ton that the first nine on the judi
ctary ticket are elected, instead Of
the FIRST Is being nominated. In my
own precinct, to my knowledge. a
voter duly registered and qualified,
desired neither the democratic or the
republican ballot. was told he must
choose one. or he could not vote. He
did not vote! II In a hard matter to
nay how many precincts in King
county this same thing has happened
nor how often.
The farm-labor party and the 80
oalist and any other lawful faction
should have voice TO say who their
next superior court judges are going
70 be.
Ninety per cent Of them did not
vote at this primary nor did they I'M
derstand that any one was TO be
elected. This does not present itself
10 me as being Of fair nature or
lawful, and for the present nine to
close their eyes TO this truth should
be enough TO disqualify them from
the honorable position which they
seek.
! trust you WIN print this in your
column. that we may get the general
opinion Of the public on the same.

LUMBER PRICES ADVANCE
MORE THAN 200 PER CENT
Has Resulted In Curtailment of
Home Building Rathern Than
Any Other Construction.

A shortage in housing accommo-
dations is nationwide and even is
worldwide with the accompanying
evils of high rents and Over-crOwd-
ing. In normal times 80 per cent of
all buildings constructed in a year
in the United States are dwellings.
Last year the per cent of dwellings
was only Is. AbnormaIly high luIn-
Der prices, together with high wag.
es and high costs of all materials
have been holding back greatly
needed building campaign. 1t of
ten has been difficult to obtain
certain materials without annoying
and costly delays. 1t costs from
$50 to 279 per cent more to build
today in many parts of the United
States, according to recent data by
the United States Forest Service
quoted largely in this article, than
it did four years ago
Curtailment of building and re-
pairs on the farms of the country
is reported by County Agricultural
Agents. This is due to high costs
the Middle Western states are said
to be carrying full stocks.
The lumber manufacturing indus
try is still more or less disorganized
since the war, due to shifting of la
Dor and the keen demand for it in
other and pleasanter occupations
The timber men will not work as
hard as formerly, producing less
lumber per day and the boss does
not dare to complain for fear of a
general walkout of the crew. Short
age of rolling stock interfered with
free movement to the East of north
western lumber.
The prices of food, clothing. and
all other commodities averaged last
year, in cost between 2 and "a times
as much as in 1913 So lumber pr'c
es may be expected naturally to be
more than double the pre-war ba
sis. Yet it apepars that lumber
prices during spring of 1920 were
considerably higher than costs just
flied. Lumber selling at $4,000 in
1919 jumped to $500 in March. 1920
an unwaTanted increase to con-
siderable extent, and one which hurt
the business. This rise was due
however, to bidding by the buyers
rather than by arbitrary price-sell-
ing by the dealers.
Tt seems reasonable to conclude
that lumber prices will settle some
what but never back to old pre-war
lcvels.-W. ]. Morrill,. State Forest
