CHIEF FORESTER
THANKS BOY SCOUTS

Col. w. B. Greeley, forester of
the u. S. forest service, has written
an open letter to the Boy Scouts of
the United States in appreciation or
their splendid cooperation in For
est Protection week on May 22-2S.
The Scouts of Oregon and Washing
ton, local forest officers say, have
given fine cooperation in the North
west in the campaign against forest
fires. The foresters letter is adj
dressed to scout executives, scout
masters and Boy Scouts of America,
and reads:
Il am compelled to take this
means of making acknowledgment
to the thousands of you whose fine
cooperation in the furtherance of
Forest Protection week played so
important part in the nationwide
observance of this movement. AL
though it is not physically possible
to answer with a personal petter
all the communications regarding
this matter which the forest service
has received, my appreciation of
what you have done as individuals
is none the less keen.
This is not the first time that
the Boy Scouts of America have
been called upon to render service
for the government, and your efforts
in this public spirited movement to
preserve our forests from needless
destruction have been in keeping
with other noteworthy achievements
of your admirable organization. 1t
is a pleasure to feel that the Boy
Scouts stand as a unit for fire pre-
vention and reforestation. But it
is also more than a pleasure--it is
an assurance of an invaluable aid
in a work of the utmost public i'm
portance
Forest fires are terrible menace
to the prosperity of our nation, and
to our very homes. Your whole

evil is, therefore, needed not only
during the brief period of Forest
Protection week, but throughout the
year. When you are in the forests
on a hike or picnic this summer, re-
member that a good woodsman is
always careful to put out his fire
and to see that his match is dead
before throwing it away
You are taught to be careful with
fire, but how many of our citizens
have not yet learned this lesson?
Eighty per cent of the forest fires
in the United States are caused by
human agencies, and are, therefore,
preventable. Carry the word to ali
you can influence-'SAVE THE

HIGH COST OF GOVERNMENT

Chairman Good of the house ap-
preparations committee finds that the
average cost of government to every
person in the United States last year
was $61.SS. This is about $500 per
family.
Some families pay more, in the
form of income tax or otherwise.
Some pay less. The chances are that
the head of family who reads this
comment is paying rather more than
less, because he is likely to be above
the national average in income and
consuming power. Nobody wholly
escapes. The tax must be paid, and
such part of it as is not handed
over, in the form of higher prices
for commodities and services which
themselves are subject to direct fed
eral taxes.
How does this compare with past
governmental expenses? Chairman
Good reports that when Thomas JEFF
ferson was president, the cost was
$1.52 per capita. BY 1880 it had
risen to sos, and people had begun
TO complain of heavy taxation In
1882 it was $3.50, and in 1916, it
had grown to $10.11 AS for war
years, the average cost per capita
during the Civil war was S25 and
during the world war $115.07.
All sorts of instructive compari-
sons can be made, and conclusions
drawn, from these figures. For in
stance, if this last war cost us near
ly five times as much apiece per year
as the great Civil war did, it is not
impossible that the next war-ii
there is one-will cost us proper
tionately as much more-say $500
apiece per year, or $500 per family
On. seeing that we have come out OF
this war with a steady governmental
cost of six times as much as we had
when we went in, the new level OF
governmental expenses at the close
Of the next war may be something
like $3.50 year per capita, OF
$500 a year per family.-Tacoma

sage In the portion of that mem
orable message devoted to outlining
the motives which had impelled this
country to enter the war, the presi-
dent said in part:
The challenge is to all man
kind. Our object now, as
then, is to vindicata the principles of
peace and justice in the life of the
world as against selfish and auto
cratic power and to set up among the
really free self-governed peoples of
the world such a concert of purpose
and of action as will henceforth in
sure the observance of those prin-
ciples. The world must be
made safe for democracy,
We have no selfish ends to serve.
We are but one of the
champions of the rights of mankind,
etc, etc"
This statement of the motives of
the United States appealed to Colonel
Harvey as being so accurate and we'll
expressed that he dashed off the fol-
lowing telegram of congratulations
"a great message of patriotism,
evidencing masterful leadership
based upon mutual faith of the presi-
dent in his country and of the coun-
try in its president. I was confident
as one could be, but even so I was
not prepared for so splendid a reali-
zation. For the nation it is glorious.
for patriots inspiring, for the presi-
dent noble"
Ambassador Harveys complete
lapse of memory has caused thou
sands of his countrymen to feel like
sending him telegram of denuncia-
ton of his London speech, ending
with the following paraphrase of his
message to President Wilson:
For the nation it is disgusting,
for patriots humiliating, for the am
bassador ignoble."

HARVEY'S SHORT MEMORY

Colonel George Harvey, our pres
ent ambassador to England, is one
OF those numerous men possessing
brilliant minds, but very short mem
cries. AT the Pilgrim Society dinner
held in London a few days ago he
made an address in which he assert
ed that until recently the impression
had been prevalent that the United
States entered the recent war ito
rescue humanity from all kinds of
menacing evils Not a few remain
convinced that We sent our young
soldiers across to save this kingdom.
France and Italy.
That is not the fact. We sent
them solely to save the United States
of America, and most reluctantly and
laggardly at that.
I'VE were not too proud to fight,
whatever that may mean. We were
afraid not TO fight That is the real
truth of the matter So we came
along toward the end and helped you
and your allies shorten the war.
That is all we did and that is all we
claim to have done"
OF course this modest claim APP
pealed to his English auditors and
won loud and prolonged applause
and, by the way, Colonel Harvey is
very fond of applause. Apparently
in his desire to say something orig
inal and popular. our brilliant am
bassador forgot all about telegram
which he sent to President Wilson
on April 3. 1917. the day after the
delivery OF the presidents war mes

RETAIL MERCHANTS
TO MEET IN COLFAX
w. j. Hindley and Carl Bush VIII
Speak June 20 at County Meet
ing-J. n. Emerson Toast
master

Retail merchants of Whitman
county and their employees will
gather at banquet at Colfax Wed.
nesday evening, June 20, at csc
o'clock. Arrangements for the ban
quet are being made by the retail
merchants of Colfax and the pro-
gram of educational addresses is be-
ing furnished by the educational de,
partment of the Washington State
Retailers association and Matt John
son of Colfax, county chairman for
Whitman county.
DR.. w. j. Hindley, former mayor
of Spokane and noted chautauqua
lecturer, now director of education
for the Washington State Retailers
association, is arranging the educa-
tional features of the program and
will give his address, The New Bus
ines Outlook" Another speaker
will be Carl Bush, formerly lecturer
in the business extension division of
the University of Washington, re-
Gently superintendent of the Rhodes
Department Store of Seattle and
now executive secretary of the State
Retailers association J n. Emer-
son of Pullman will act at toast
master.
DIR. Hindley, who is director of
education for the State Retailers
association, combines practical bus
mess knowledge with an unusual
gift of oratory which makes him well
come before any public gathering,
particularly before a gathering of
business men," says Mr.. Johnson in
speaking of the treat in store for
those who attend the banquet THE
program Wednesday night has been
arranged as a part of the statewide
program of the association in which
it is planned to conduct merchants
institutes all over the state.
THE aims of the association are
chiefly educational. First, to edu-
cate the retail merchants of the
state to thorough knowledge of the
most efficient business methods and
second to give to the general public
such information about the distri-
buting system of this country as will
enable them to cooperate with us
in giving them the kind of business
service which will be most helpful
to all concerned. The retail mer-
chant, because he is the last link
in the chain Of merchandising dis
tributiOn and for that reason the
person who comes in contact with
the public, has too frequently been
blamed for price conditions over
which he had little or no control,
but we find that as soon as the pub
lie in general understands more
thoroughly the functions of the re-
tail merchant most of the prejudice
and fault-finding disappears
'Mr. Bush is we'll known in the
state, having spent two years con-
Quoting classes in business methods
for the University of Washington in
different parts of the state"
