GRANGE CONVENTION

State Senator Peter Iverson, editor
owner of the kitsap County Herald,
has this to say Of the State Grange
Convention at Aberdeen;
THE Editor last week attended
the annual session of the State
Grange held at Aberdeen, as a dele
gate from the Breidablik Grange. 1t
was session Of great interest to the
whole state. The agricultural pro
ducers all over the state is one of
the primary factors for the we'll
being of our lives and it was a
source of qualification to see the
spirit Of fair dealing and high aim
of the Oranges as whole 1t IS
only within the last few years that
the farmers of our country have per
lected their organization to its full
est extent. 1t now has become one
Of the strong powers which can no
longer be ignored This can easily
be seen by the hostility that special
interests show towards the Grange
organization.
There is no better and safer citi-
zenship than that which composes
the Grange. There are no more loyal
tural producers Of our country. They
are progressive, but safe and sane.
The Aberdeen convention showed it..
1t has been reported that the So
called radicals won out. The fact is,
that there were d few reactionaries
present who would no doubt have
liked to put predatory wealth in the
saddle and let it ride the masses, but
they were few. In fact, the reac-
tICnaries present were so few that it
cannot be said that the other faction
won out. 1t was One-sided, as the
Grange is practically unanimously
progressive and stands for the bet
termenl Of all.
The special interests element has
apparently endeavored to use its
branding iron "ulAmericansm" on
the Grange; but it has fallen pal
pably short Of accomplishing any
thing in this effort Citizens are be-
ginning to realize more and more
that psychological, as we'll as ma
terial, weapons are often used to
coerce and entrap people and that
the word "Americanism," which is a
fine word in all it stands for, should
not be used as a hypocritical cloak
while political shackles are being
fastened on an unsusupicious or help
less victim.
Our state constitution says that
frequent recurrence to fundamental
principles is necessary to preserve
free institutions. This was shown in
the Oranges actions at Aberdeen.

pie. But you cannot at once educate
and stifle opinion. There is hope in
the free air, there is tonic in conf
dence in ultimate success Of what you
strongly believe to be true, but the
polcy Of denying free exp cssion of
political opinions Is u-..u to the re-
public, for that expression is its
vital force.
The practice of putting large dis
cretionary powers at the disposal Of
officers needs a curb. The patriot in
peace demands government upon es-
tablshed principles and he should al
ways be ready to contest officialism
and bureaucracy, with its readiness
to suppress individual freedom by
capriclous administrative action and
to install in departments of a sup
posed free government what is moth
ing short Of reign Of terror"

Bro. p. b. Tyler
Is ReinStated

Last Thursday night John T. Pew
ters, chairman of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Carmen received a telegram
from Gen. Master Mechanic W. M.
Kelly of the Great Northern an
nouncing the reinstatement of Percy
B. Tyler who was discharged on Sun
day, the 9Th of June, because he has
been trying for Is months to get a
clean, sanitary place for the men to
eat and work in, has been reinstated
with the railway company. About an
hour later Brother Tyler was in
formed of the action of the com
pany officials at St. Paul, by a
phone call from L. Gaul, superintend
ent of the Delta shops.
Friday morning about 40 tele-
phone calls urged Percy B. Tyler to
come down to the shops. When he
went down the men rushed to him,
carried him around for about Is
minutes on their shoulders, shouting,
yelling, hurrahing, throwing their
caps in the air and taking a 15-min-
ute vacation to celebrate his rein
statement.
Mr.. Tyler, in speaking of it later,
said, you know it makes a man
feel good to have the men show they
are with you, but it really embar-
raised me when they carried me
around on their shoulders. 1t was
certainly a grand spectacle to see
the JOY and enthusiasm of the men.
| am glad that the telegram came
from the General Office as it would
have been impossible to keep the men
on the job very much longer if
hadn't been reinstated l did my
best to hold them on the job until
we heard definitely from St. Paul as
| did not want to see this division
tied up"

NAGUENESS

The vagueness Of the Republican
platform leaves plenty of scope for
ITS faborable Interpretation in strong
and honest hands. We have much
faith in the American conscience, and
if we appeal to it we must come
into court with clean hands"
This is from the London Times
comment on the Chicago Republican
platform. If the platform had been
written by honest hands there would
have been no vagueness in it, and the
hands that wrote that document did
not do so from the dictates of a
clear conscience. The musty crusts
the platform hands to labor and the
farmers will not be accepted by in
teihgent voters hungry for square
deal.

eral dollars on each ton of steel
sold to the car or locomotive manu-
facturer, who, in turn, makes an
other excess profit on the finished
product In some other commodi-
| ties this is repeated several times
before the finished article is sold to
the railroads.
"a survey of the profits made by
seven of the largest manufacturers
of railroad cars, locomotives and
other equipment indicates the extent
of this secondary profiteering. The
American Car and Foundry Com
pany, the dominant factor in car
building, increased its net income
from an average of $2,700,000 for
the pre-war period 1912-1914, to over
$S,000,000 for the years 1916-1919
The two great locomotive manufac-
tories more than doubled their prof
its during the war period compared
with the pre-war. The entire group
of seven companies, practically con-
trolling railroad equipment of all
kinds, made aggregate profits dur
ing the three years 1912-1914 of
SAT, 237 ,l81. During the period 1917
1919 their combined net profits, after
paying Federal taxes and other
charges, were $117,808,571.
Another and very good reason
why the estimate is low is that
prices of coal and steel products
have advanced greatly within the
past few months. This will result
in increased profits to the producers
and manufacturers. Coal, for ex-
ample, is selling for at least $100
more per ton at the mines than it
was in March, Authoritative infor-
nation has reached me of railroad
contracts for coal made recently at
prices as much as $500 per ton over
the former figure. Even S1.00 a ton
increase is exorbitant. 1t has been
conclusively shown that the recent
wage increase to miners adds less
than 40 cents to the cost of pro-
ducing ton of coal. If the SELL
ing price is advanced $1.00, it means
90 cents additional profit to the coal
operator.
with no material increase in
wages the steel mills are advancing
the prices of their products. Steel
rails, which during 1919 sold for
$4,000 a ton, in January, 1920,
jumped to $51.0O and to $4,000 in
March. The price of steel billets
during 1919 ranged from $500 to
$4,000 per ton. In January, this
year, they went to $48.00, in Febru-
airy to $52.25 and in March to $4,000.
Steel plates rose from 1855 per hun
dred pounds in December, 1919, to
$3.50 in March, 1920. This can mean
only one thing. The steel barons
are going to make enormously
greater profits this year than ever
before, stupendous as those profits
have been for the past four years"

Apologies for
Criticising Cop

CFrom the Herald of the l4thl
Cooperation of the Everett police
in protecting the ticket sales for Sat
urday evenings benefit at the Prln-
cess theater for the Draper Home for
children at Des Moines, resulted in a
bit of unpleasantness that has been
happily cleared up.
Saturday the police took into GUS
today man who was selling tickets
for the entertainment. He was taken
to police headquarters and the special
ticket committee from the Central
Labor Council communicated with.
They asserted that they know of no
such man selling tickets for the
Draper benefit. Later the man was
released when suitable representation
had been made. II. M. Draper, SUI
perintendent of the home offered
criticism of the police action.
This morning Safety Commissioner
Turner received letter in eXplana-
ton from Superintendent Draper. In
part it reads:
Last Thursday a gentleman met
me at the theater and said that he
was a member of the Labor Council

{. E. HUGHES TALKS
FOR FREE SPEECH

Charles Evans Hughes in an ad
dress to the graduates of Wellesley
College, at Wellesley, Mass, last
Monday, said in part;
There is hope in the free air
there is tonic in confidence in uti-
mate success in what you strongly
believe to be true, but the policy
of denying free expression of poll
teal opinions is death to the re-
pubic, for that expression is its
vital force"
UNLESS we have in peacetime that
dominant sentiment which prompts a
continuous and self-sacrificing devo-
ton to public ends, the sacrifices of
patriotism in war will have been in
vain. Our national ideals are not
bound up in anything short Of estab-
fishing and maintaining constitu-
tioal government as the sure basis
of liberty.
1T Is a spurious patriotism that is
linked to the triumph of any creed
or class, or becomes the vehicle of
bigotry. The common good, rooted
in the essential institutions Of justice
and individual liberty-that is the
national ideal
eve have talked so much of free
institutions that we are apt to think
that they will take care of them
selves. Our recent and current ex-
periences should disabuse US of this
notion, We have too many evidences
of readiness to take advantage of
opportunity to establish autocratic
administration. The tendency to
crave and assert arbitrary power, to
use power ruthlessly, is more ap-
parent with US than devotion to the
cause of liberty"

TEXAS CATTLEMEN FACE
SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN
MONEY mSTR|NGENCY IS
MANIFESTED BY BANKS

Fort Worth, Texas. Aug. lick.
US cattiemen are facing a very
serious situation which has its bearing
on the country's beef supply, due. to
their inability to get loans, according
to A. c. Williams, assistant secretary
or the Cattle Raisers' association or
Texas. He said that the money strin-
sency was bringing about the deple.
ton Of existing herds and preventing
The building up Of new ones.
More good pasture is going to
waste in the cattle country than 70,
many years Mr.. Williams said.
Range conditions in Texas and else
where have been ideal for the past
year, and prices, though unsatisfactory
have not In general meant actual loss
TO the stockman. The relatively low
prices prevailing have been in goodly
measure a result of the inability TO
obtain credits.
The present financial situation,
however, following on the heels or
severe drouths In both the southwest
and northwest, Is bringing about q
reduction of the cattle population
which must in the end mean mounting
beef prices and nationwide economic
loss.
ON a recent trip through wess
Texas and New Mexico / had oc.
casion TO observe that many pastures
were %unstocked or thinly stocked, and
inquiry developed the fact that owners
were anxious TO stock and had plenty
OF security but could not obtain loans.
Many cattlemen whose ranches
were stocked were being compelled to
llquidate and thousands of cattle
which should normally be used for
breeding or at least for development
into finished beef were being sold
for slaughter,
The sheep raising interests of the
San Angelo country are even more
seriously threatened than the cattle
interests. This Is due in part to the
financial ~stringency and is having
its bearing on the cattle situation.
The principal factor in the sheen
mems problem, however, appears to
be the virtual withdrawal Of the wool
buyers from the market. The wool
crop this year in the San Angelo
territory is estimated at between s.
coo. 900 and 5000. 900 pounds, an in
crease c. about 1900, 900 pounds over
former years.
Comparatively little of that has
been marketed because the buyers,
having comfortable stocks on hand,
are not offering anything like a fair
price. The growers are endeavoring
TO hold, and have several million
pounds stored at San Angelo and
neighboring points"
