WHY THE LUMBER SLUMP?

The manufacturer has been point
ing out for some time that while
members of building trades have
been advancing wages to $1O0 and
S125 an hour, almost none of this
class. or the labor class generally
are building any houses
While wages in the building
trades have been advancing 200 to
800 per cent over pre-war times.
uctdal building labor cost has gone
up 400 per cent and ii requires
twice as long to build a house.
II takes twice as many carpenter
hours on a job as It did five years
ago. Brick layers lay less than
half the number of brick they laid
five years ago Plasterers. painters,
paper hangers do less than half the
work they did five years ago.
These conditions are not healthy.
They cannot hut inflict disaster up-
on those who foster them short
sighted is the man who believes
that he can produce wealth by
idlins. The war created a tremend-
Gus void in materials and commodi-
ties Of all kinds and prices are high
| by reason of this scarcity
Prices can only become lower
when the worlds store houses has
again reached it's normal level
Cost OF dwellings will depreciate to
n marked extent and rentals will
be lower when the men who build
homes will do n fully days work
unerudglngly with pride ia the qaul-
ity and quantity Of their output.
The unusual demands of artisans
mechanics and labor in all trades
has checked the demand for build
ing material and is severely hurt
ing the lumber industry.

COMMON SENSE

James II. Wilkerson. chairman of
the state public utilities commission
of Illinois. following the commits
sion's announcement allowing an in
crease in telephone and street car
rates says
The operation of a public utility
present the same questions as the
conduct of any other business The
cost OF production determines the
price which must be paid by the
consumer.
"lf these public service agencies
are to function at all. they must be
permitted to obtain the revenue
increases necessary in the case of
the local, utilities are substantially
the same as those which have been
found necessary and which must
be allowed to the railroads. The
Industrial organization of this ma
ton is a unit. and general economic
conditions must be recognized.
when the railroads, the tele-
graph, the telephone, the street
car, and the lighting and heating
companies cease TO function and are
unable TO keep up with the demand
of growing community, We have
gone back a hundred years"

DESTRUCTIVE EXPERIMENTS
THIS is liable TO prove a bad year
for trust busters and ouslaughts on
industries.
The world Ia having considerable
experience with the application of
radical ideas in Central and Eastern
Europe.
They have been fairly successful
In Russia and Austria in bursting
the trusts. putting the banks out of
business. wrecking the ordinary me-
chanism of trade and distribution,
and taking industries away from the
owners.
There were undisputed evils in
the operations of all these depart
ments of life. But the old system
did have this obvious advantage. 1t

Now that II has been destroyed.
together with its incidental evils.
we find multitudes of people on the
verge OF starvation. cities almost de-
populated, and civilization threat
ened with breakdown.
The lesson is that modern life is
built on a pretty complicated and
delicate scheme that has been de-
veloped over a long course of years
We expect to adjust and perfect the
machine as rapidly as we know how,
but we won't plan to scrap it and
throw ii out of the window.

AMERICANS A BANKING PEO-
PIE

Early in life children learn hab-
its of industry or they will acquire
habits of idleness
One person out OF five in the
United States has acquired the
banking habit.
War loan campaigns in the United
States familiarized people with the
functions of banking. and they not
only absorbed billions Of Liberty
bonds and Victory notes. but culti-
waited the habit of doing business
with banks That they have in
creased their deposits therein is a
development Of high significance.
II Is encouraging that bank de-
posits should increase during per
Tod OF high prices aud eXtravagant
spending.

Candidate Cox is quoted as saying
that he has not as yet met any
Democrat with whom he was not in
accord. No doubt. And that's the
weakness OF his position. He tells
that doughty old irreconcilable, Sen

stand on the League of Nations,

thereof by guarding it against all

tenets in our practical life; let Us
welcome to our shores any alien, be

who is convinced that this is the best
country on the face Of the earth, that
our ideals are worthy of any personal
sacrifice tina. may be required to sus-
tain them, for such a man is good
American, even now. And, will add
also, that any man to whom these
ideals do not appeal, who comes here
to enjoy our opportunities, yet refuses
to share our burdens or shirks our
common hardships, let that man be
taken to the nearest ocean, have eX-

and lat his subsequent experieno,

is good.
In connection with the foregoing, LET
me utter word of warning. At var,
iOus times we find remarks thrown out
that we should draw a closer union
with some foreign nation. A few
months ago Senator Beveridge has
assured US that there is subtle pro.
paganda under way to effect com
mon cause with an overseas prnci
pality, whose ideals vary from ours
as night does from day. As if in con
firmation of this warning we read tht
report that some mental blatherskit,
had the supernal audacity to tell Us
that Washington and his pioneers OF

Even this idea is not beyond practical

committee investigated the product
and we're dissatisfied with the result
they found. The gentleman Of ques-
tionable reputation was called before
them for investigation.

But We fail to find any rabbit meat

"Ah, well it is not pure rabbit sau-
sage, nor do advertise it as SUCH"
well, what other meat do you
use!"
Horse meat"
But what is the proportion?"
Why, fifty-fifty, one horse, one

From which We may learn that the
greatest prudence is emphatically re-
to fair sounding agreement.
Let Europe discord its pagan ideals
expouse to the lofty principles We
maintain and fight for, and no one
should be more willing to join hands
with them in the establishing of a
world peace, based upon justice and
Christian ethics. But as long as they
refuse to do this, so long there can be
no possible union, for we have nc
apologies to make for our standards
much less shall we surrender oul

COMMENTS BY RUFUS WOODS

Efficiency is rare bird, said
Rufus Woods, editor of the Wen
atchee World, on his visit to the col
lege. Il can not overestimate the
value of a college education for any
type of work. continued Mr.. Woods,
but if the students do not learn
thoroughness and real efficiency,
they have missed one of the most inn
portant things in life"
During his short stay on the cam
pus Mr. Woods addressed the classes
in journalism on the several phases
of the work with which he has come
in contact in Ills many years as edi-
tor on eminently successful papers.
He emphasized the Importance of a
complete knowledge of ones work
and an enthusiasm for it. IF you
don't just love the work you are in,
you had better get out, was his
forceful statement
In speaking of the place of the
State College among the institutions
of the state, he said, During the
past Is years there has been an over
supply of doctors, lawyers, and other
professional men l am glad to see
that the State College is making a
special effort along the lines of pro-
ductive activity. When a manufac-
turer has an over-supply of goods,
he shuts down on production. l
would be glad to see the state pay
more attention in the way of ample
funds to efficient work such >as car
ried on by the State College.
Il am especially pleased with the
constructive nature of the courses in
journalism which are taking up mat
ters relative to the general improve
ment of conditions throughout the
state" Mr.. Woods drew upon his
fund of experience when he con-
tinued, Great progress has been
made in the past few years in mat
ters relating to the technical side of
farming, but there is still a large
percentage of the people who have
not yet taken advantage of the adj
yances made in general farm know
ledge. If the courses in journalism
and the extension department sue
coed in hammering in this knowledge
to the people of the state, they will
have served most valuable pur-
pose.
