I have been retired, 1t shall be the duty
of the state board of equalization to
| include in the tax levied for state
! purposes a direct annual tax for such
amount as shall be necessary and
sufficient, in addition to the moneys
collected under said Chapter 142 and
paid into the said state trunk line
highway bond redemption fund, to
pay the interest annually as it shall
accrue on each and every bond issued
under the provisions of this act and
also to pay and discharge the princi-
pal of such bonds at par value as
such bonds shall respectively fall
due: Provided, that no such direct
annual tax shall be levied for any
year in which sufficient money is
collected under said Chapter 142 and
paid into said bond redemption fund
to pay the interest as it shall accrue
on said bonds for that year and also
to pay and discharge the principal of
all of said bonds falling due during
such year"
If for any reason the revenue from
licenses should be curtailed in one
or more years to such an extent that
all of it would be required to meet
the annual payments of principal and
interest on the bonds, no funds would
be available for the maintenance of
the roads already constructed, a
deplorable condition of
affairs.
There are other serious objections
TO the bill which will be presented in
future issues. Meanwhile the vot-
ers should inform themselves as fully
as possible regarding the arguments
for and against the measure, weigh
them carefully, and be guided in
reaching final conclusion by their
judgment rather than their preju-
dices.

GRAIN GAMBLERS AT WORK
AGAIN

The thirteenth of July was an un-
lucky day for millions of wheat pro-
ducers and for millions more who eat
bread. On that day the boards of
trade, or grain exchanges, resumed
their so-called trading, after the
world had got along without their
non-essential services exceedingly
well during the war. Since that day,
when the gamblers again took con-
troll of the one commodity that is the
basis of the whole worlds food
wheat has slumped as much as AZ to
ga cents a bushel in a short two
weeks, has rebounded II cents in a
single day and has slumped again.
Now only one thing could have
caused those s1umps naturally. That
cause would be a glut on the market.
But there has been no glut. 1t is
and has been impossible for a glut
to develop, because the railroads
could not and can not get the wheat
to market. Those slumps were de-
liberately manipulated to defraud the
wheat grower. The wheat has been
in the growers hands, because the
railroads could not get it to market,
so the gamblers staged the slump
until they could get the wheat into
their own hands. Had the wheat

his banking, which ultimately would
have spelled disaster for some one.
But the new banker was wise. He
built up a sound business. Yet fully
realizing the shortcomings of the
present grain business, our financiers
are greatly concerned as to how to
finance the grain grower to hold his
grain until the railroads can carry it
away, while they never seem to wor-
ry about supplying money for board
of trade operations.
The governments figures show
that this years wheat crop in the
United States is 12,646,O0O bushels
below the five-year average. An ac-
cepted authority says that Europe
will have to import Is million tons
of breadstuffs this year. Argentina
is importing wheat to supply it's own
needs now. Russia is not exporting
wheat because of internal strife and
demoralized transportation In the
face of all that, the grain gamblers
make a bear raid on wheat, try to
defraud the growers of millions OF
dollars. The whole thing is sicken-
ing. The board of trade is an ulcer
on our economic body and should be
eradicated. 1t is harmful and use

been in the hands of few gamblers
who dominate the market those
slumps would not have happened.
From a standpoint of honesty and
economics they were absolutely in
excusable.
That wheat rebounded II cents In
one day was not owing to rumors of
further hostilities in Europe, as was
given out. 1t was entirely because
one group of gamblers believed an
other group of gamblers were push
ing the market down too hard. Rare
ly are any of the rumors on which
the market is made to climb and tum-
and effect nature. None of them can
or do, as a usual thing, result in the
producing or consuming of a single
pound more or less of grain. AS
matter of fact, majority of opera
tors on the boards of trade are ig-
norant of actual conditions. They
merely guess and gamble. A few
large firms do know actual condi-
ton, They have big, expensive or
CARNATIONS to keep them accurately
informed and they are the persons
who steadily, year after year, make
huge fortunes from wheat without
growing or milling single grain of
it. Their only stock in trade is ac-
curate information, not wheat, and
they use that accurate information.
through the board of trade gambling
facilities, to raise or lower the price
of wheat to make money for them
selves. What good can these persons
be to the world, to anyone except
themselves? They are leeches that
tatten on humanity They do not
gamble. They deal in facts. They
load the dice and when the dice with
certainty show up in their |
favor the wheat grower and the man
who eats bread pay them. Why in
the name of justice are they allowed
to exist?
Outside Of these few big operators,
the rest of the board of trade dealers
are gamblers. You can prove that
assertion by asking any number of |
them for facts, figures on supply and |
consumption, and by then comparing

THE CARLYoN Bill

Every voter should make care.
full study of the Carlyon road bill
which will appear on the ballot al
the approaching general election as
Referendum Bill No. /. A bitter
fight is being waged over this meas
ure and many arguments are being
advanced both for and against it. In
the judgment of the writer there are
several objections to the bill which
have not and can not be satisfactor-
lily answered by its champions
The bill provides that there shall
be issued and sold bonds of the state
of Washington for an amount not ex-
ceeding $S0,O0O,OOO.
Section 4 provides that
THE state highway board shall di-
vide the state highways into convent
ent sections for construction pur-
poses, and shall make diligent effort
to have the entire trunk line system
of hard surface highways completed
within six years after the taking eff
ASNt Va tuiS act. ne CONSTRUCTION
work shall, so far as possible, be
commenced in different sections of
the state at approximately the same
time and carried on continuously I'M
til all work is completed.
While this does not make ii obli-
gatory on the state highway board
to complete the system in six years,
1t is safe to assume that tremendous
pressure will be brought to bear to
have the work finished within that
time. 1t would in all probability re-
quire at least year, possibly two
years, to complete the preliminary
arrangements. Could $4,000 OOI
be expended to the best advantage
in road construction during a period
of four or five years? Would not
such vast expenditure in such a
short period, in addition to the nor
NAL road construction by counties
and cities, congest the demand for
labor and materials to such an extent
that the prices of both would be
maintained at too high a level to get
full value for the money spent? Such
a result appears to be almost inev-
table.
Another bad feature is that the bill
creates fixed indebtedness against
the state, with an indefinite and UNI
certain revenue from which to retire
it. The bonds mature at the rate of
$1,5OO,000 principal each year, com
mencing in the year 1922, and are to
be paid from the revenue derived
from auto licenses, which it is esti-
mated will amount to some $1,000
600 year. But this is merely an
estimate. Any legislature could low
er the present license fees or. if there
should come period of hard times
or shortage of gasoline, the num-
Der of licenses issued might be great
ly reduced. These contingencies NAV
not be probably, but they are very
real possibilities, as the trainers of
the bill themselves must have recog-
nized, for Section 10 contains the fol-
lowing provision;
Each year after this act becomes
effective, and until all of said bonds

RURAL TEACHERS PAY

1t is to be hoped that the educational
authorities of the rural districts of this
country are alive to the very strained sit
ration in the profession of teaching.
Teachers are proverbially poor paid.
Naturally in the country and smaller
towns, where money is not so free as in
the cities, it is hard to pay large salaries.
But the time has arrived when the people
who educate our cildren must have better
salaries so that they can live, and this is
true whether in the city or rural COM
munitieS
The movement for more pay is ram
pant in the cities. Many teachers, find
ing that there is more money in business
iobs-even in unskilled muscular labor
are leaving the schools. The result is that
the teaching forces everywhere are short
and those that are left are therefore able
to enforce increases in salaries.
Anothe, effect is that superintendent
in 100000 population cities are drawing
on the teaching forces of cities of 100000
population and less and getting them be-
cause the city salaries are going up. In
turn the 100000 town is drawing on the
10000 to $4,000 populated town. These,
in turn, are taking the teachers away
from the villages and country districts.
If our rural districts increase teachers
salaries reasonably, they still do not have
to raise them to the city figure Many
young man and young woman knows that
the cost of living in our smaller towns
and farming districts is far less than in
the cities are intelligent to realize that a
small but reasonable, salary in the quieter
places is better than fatter figure in the
swifter locations, where you can't save a
penny Also, they know that they get
more out of life.

is spasmodic only; that if beans go down
cent today they will go up again; that
if flour goes down quarter this week,
it's going up again
The cost of living isn't going to some
down; if it moves either way it will be up
ward. Every factor is today operating
for higher prices. The cost of making
clothing is going up; so is the cost Of rails
ing wheat. The cost of making machinery
and all metal products is steadily advarc.
ing; so is the cost of raising meat and
making dairy products.
On top of it all, we now find England
and France sending great quantities OF
gold to this coutry to pay for their first
war loan of five hundred millions. Gold
influxes to the United States were always
followed in few months by large infla-
ton of prices, and we may expect the
same thing to happen in two or three
months from now.
Prices can't come down as long as con-
ditions continue as they are in labor,
business and finance. Anybody can see
that, with his costs for everything he
uses mounting to the sky, with farm Ia
Dor terribly scarce and expensive. the
farmer must get more for his products.

SOME MORE BUNK

In a speech in Congress a few weeks
ago a Vermont man said the farmers of
this country are getting tired of support
ing the cities and that statement shows
more than anything else could show that
the Vermont man is demagogue and
professional politician.
We feel every man in Logan will agree
with us when we say that if it were not
for the farmers the city people would
starve. But we also believe they will
agree as readily that if it were not for
the cities, life on farm would be mighty
barren. There is no conflict between the
two, and the fellow who tries to build up
prejudice between them, like the Ver-
mont man, is not good friend of either.
Tn truth is, the farmer and the city man
are both getting along very WELL Neces-
sarily they are competing with each 9TH
er in the matter of labor. The farmer
complains that he cannot afford to meet
the wages offered by the city man. and
the fellow in the city says he must have
labor, even though it comes from the
farm, and there you are.
There are thousands of farm labore.s
WIN hlloW lncy are geItlHS along DeJIer
at the wages paid on the farm than they
could at the wages paid by the city en-
0loyer. In fact, Z larger and larger nun.
Der of such men are going to be found.
for the city doesn't offer all the advan-
tages many suppose But at any rate, it
is folly to talk about the farmers sup
porting the city man or anybody but him
self. That is exactly what all of us are
dOing-supporting ourselves by exchang-
ing for what we need that which we have
that the other fellow needs.
