Why do sixteen million people in
America live in houses unfit for hu--
man beings? Why are so many of
our school children undernourished?
Why are our mining towns and
slums of great cities such wretched
places? These are the questions
which give a tremendous interest
to Stuart Chase's discussion of the
Challenge of Waste just published in
pamphlet form by the League of In
dustrial Democracy, 70 Fifth Ave
nue., New York City. MIR. Chase,
who is consulting accountant of the
Labor Bureau, Inc, and was for
merly senior accountant Of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, begins with
the arresting fact that "the United
States during the war was able to
support five million of it's most Wig
orus workers in productive idleness,
supply them with unlimited NUM-
tions of war, transport great num-
bers of them overseas in American
bottoms, and still maintain the pop
ulation at probably the highest aver
age standard of well-being ever en-
ioyed." We did that in war times
because we had the beginning of
some sort of co-ordinated industry.
We do not do it in peace times be-
cause of our enormous wastes.
Mans wants can be simply CLASH
fled. Food, shelter and clothing are
the most elementary. After that
comes the need of communication,
religion of some sort, art, recreation
and play, health, love and comrade-
ship, knowledge. 1t is the business
of production to satisfy these needs.
Actually, modern scientific studies
show that if the national income of
the United States were divided even
ly after allowing a percentage for
necessary saving, it would barely
meet the minimum budget of health
and decency compiled by the United
States Department of Labor. Every
body knows that the national in
come is divided most unevenly. 1t
is even more significant that if it

VOTE FOR HEALTH

For the first time in the history
of the state, question affecting
the health of the community will
be submitted to the vote of the
people at the election to be held in
November. The decision of the
voters as to the approval or rejec-
ton of the legislative act known
as Referendum Measure No. 10 will
settle question of broad policy.
So important are the issues involv-
ed that it would not be overstating
the situation to say that they over
shadow every other question to be
submitted at that time. There is
no controversy over the fact that
health has a direct effect on the
prosperity, the productivity and the
happiness of the commonwealth.
The Public Health League of
Washington rallied an imposing
number of voters to the movement
last year to demand a referendum
on Senate Bill 1870 which was pass
ed by the 1921 Legislature. The
referendum petitions were signed
by approximately 10000 residents
of Washington, a number more than
sufficient to delay the operation of
the bill ana place Ihe question Oh
its passage or defeat on the ballot.
The bill will come before the voters
as Referendum Measure 10.
1t is the contention of the pub
lie health forces that Referendum
Measure 10 menaces the health OF
the school children and of the com
munity because of the provision
| that certain children may be eX'
empted from physical examination
/ by the health authorities in the
! schools. 1t is averred that tbs
! granting of this dangerous priv
iege removes the safeguards
against the spread of contagious
diseases and breaks down ordinar!
health regulations.
The state requires the parent t,
send his children to school. For APP
proximately one-fourth the time be

safeguarded. Every reasonable pre-
caution is taken to insure the
child's safety from violence and
from disease.
The advocates of Referendum
Measure 10, without concern for the
safety and health of the children
of others, desire that their own
children shall be exempted from
physical examination. They are
asking for a special privilege, which
the health authorities believe to be
against the best interests of all
The pupils in the public schools
are required to sit in crowded class
rooms and to associate and come
into contact with children who may
have catching diseases. In order
to lessen the incidence of such con-
tagious diseases as smallpox, lntan-
tile paralysis, scarlet fever, whoop-
ing cough, diphtheria or measles,
it is necessary from time to time to
have an inspection by the school
nurse or school physician. II one
group of children IS exempted from
examination, there is grave danger
to all with the resulting distress
and suffering and the loss of lives.
One of the ways by which the
germs of disease are disseminated
is through carriers" Diphtheria
or typhoid carriers" do not have
the diseases in the acute form and
are not themselves sick, yet they
are capable of injecting others by
contact and close association. Only
physical examination can disclose
this condition and without it no
physician or nurse can "believe in
good faith" that these children are
a source of danger
The health authorities do not at
tempt to impose any particular
kind of treatment; their powers are
limited to exclusion as means OF

REFERENDUM II
STATE OF WASHINGTON
BOOSTING BUREAU FORMED

Steps for the organization of a
bureau to expedite the industrial
growth of the state of Washing
ton were taken on October 14th at
a mass meeting of citizens that
filled the Wilkes theatre at Seattle.
The meeting was called by Mrs.
Kathryn Miracle, councilwoman, in
cooperation with Mayor Edwin j.
Brown. other city officials, business
men and manufacturers.
"The spirit of the people of our
state needs warming" said Mrs,
Miracle, 1--WE must learn to extend
the handshake to young enter
prises. advertise potentialities of
the Northwest, and give complete
cooperation with organizations
working throughout the state to
that end. All detrimental influ-
ences or Special interest measures
which will in any manner stagnate
development of publicly owned
utilities in the cities or towns must
be stamped out" At this point a
resolution was voted on and unanl-
mously adopted as follows:
"Bt it resolved, in mass meeting
assembled, that we call upon the
people of the state of Washington
to defeat once more Referendum
No. IL, known as the Certificate of
Necessity Bill" at our next election
on November 7, 1922.
"Bt it further resolved, that we
demand for the city of Seattle and
all other municipalities of this
state the utmost freedom in the es-
tablishing and development of cleo
trio power as one of the potent
means for prosperity for this great
commonwealth"

MUCH HUMAN ENERGY WASTED

Support of Education

were evenly divided there would not
be enough.
What we have is not we'll spent.
Much of mans labor produces not
wealth but "illth." Industry under
the profit motive have encouraged
three great types of waste: % The
waste of money spent on things
harmful rather than helpful, or at
best on things that fall in the cate
CORY of luXuries. Mr.. Chase esti-
mates the total labor cost concerned
with all this "illth" at from II to
IA million workers out of an aggre-
gate working population of AZ mil
lions. (2) The waste of idleness.
The idle rich, the unemployed, the
incapacitated workers, strikers and
locked out workers-the total ranges
between 10 and 20 per cent of the
working population-do no useful
labor. (3) The waste in technical
processes-failure to utilize existing
machinery, the destruction of goods
and the like. Thus, there are three
times as many lumber mills in the
country as are needed. There are
one-third too many soft coal mines,
etc. Food stuffs are destroyed when
pCoPIC eiiC SCSll VIII UGCduSS lIISS
cannot be profitably marketed.
Now, if all this waste of human
energy could be directed toward the
satisfying of real human needs, pow
erty would be abolished and a ma
terial basis would be given for the
support of education, the search for
beauty and truth. Is our desire for
these things great enough to enable
us to organize in peace time our
life on the basis of the common
good, as men began to organize in
war time for purposes of mutual
destruction? With this tremendous
! and searching challenge, Mr.. Chase
closes his intensely interesting
pamphlet.

plication to the League for Indus
trial Democracy for ten cents a

superstitions she had brought from the
