WHO PAYS AND WHY?

Many kinds of vehicles, from ol-
cycles to ifteen-ton freight carry
ing trucks use our streets and high
ways.
All of Them
Paw something towards street
and road construction maintenance.
But
Street cars are the only ones that
nav the full cost of building and
keeping in repair the r~ight-of-way
they use
Plus
Part of the cost of the right-of-
way used by the others;
And
Every cent expended by street
railways for this purpose is paid by
the men and women who ride on
street cars.
So Far
Public Service has constructed
and the car riders have paid for
enough pavement to construct a
thirty. foot roadway 189 miles long.
That is
One of the Reasons
Why street carfares are not low
er than they are. The situation is
worth thinking about.

LABOR LEGAL
BUREAU EXPANDS
By ART SHIELDS
Federated Press Staff Correspondent

SEATTLE.-Rapid growth of the
business of the legal bureau Of the
Seattle Central Labor council is lead
ing towards the formation of a state
wide organization of this kind in the
interest of the workers and farmers
of Washington, declares Atty. George
F. Vanderveer, head of the bureau.
Affiliated departments will be set up
in Tacoma, Bellingham, Aberdeen and
other industrial cities to handle the
business pouring into the Seattle Of
fee.
The Seattle bureau, organized two
years ago, is unique in American farm
and labor movements. While other
legal bureaus function only for their
parent organizations, the Seattle Of
flee works for all the craft and indie
pendent unions, handles the legal in
terests of the Washington State
Grange, with its so branches and its
cooperative enterprises, and looks af-
ter the personal affairs Of thousands
of wOrkingmen.
The bureau has accomplished far
greater results than show on the
books, asserts Vanderveer. Employers
fear to violate contracts because they
know the bureau is ready to deal with
them without delay. Police fear to
make arrests during a strike because
the bureau is organized to take up the
cudgels for workingmen whose liber-
ties are interfered with, at moments
notice. During the seamen's strike of
1921, when wholesale arrests were
made on Both coasts, Seattle was the
only port where not a single sailor
spent night in Jail, though the
strike was very effective here.
Championing the legal rights OF
organizations is only part of the
bureaus activity. It also gives pro-
lection to individuals and has taken
numerous law cases for individual un-
ionists and working farmers. If q
fiiver runs foul of a speed cop; if q
painless" dentist extracts too much
gold from workingnan; if a union
mans estate is to be settled, the SER
vices Of the bureau are enlisted on {
cost basis, which in practice amounts

LISTEN BOY SCOUTS!

The local Troop Committee for the
Boy Scouts of. Plentywood, met last
Tuesday evening and completed ar
engagements for a fine four day Scout
Camp outing the last week of August.
Though the camp this year will be
short it will be a good one with every
one of the four days packed full of
the sort of stuff that you boys like.
In general the plan is this: The lead
ers and every eligible Scout will leave
Plentywood for Brush Lake /early
Tuesday morning, August % where
camp will be set up and the program
of the day started The first two and
last days, the Scouts will have to
themselves together with their leaders
The third day, Thursday, the 80, will
be visitors day, when we expect every
business man in town, who can pOss-
IDLY get off, to fill their cars with the
younger boys under scout age, and
bring them down for the day, as
guests of the Boy Scouts, who will
furnish the entertainment and good
time program for all. We. hope to
make this day one never to be forgot
ten by either Scouts, younger boys, OF
the men. Begin now to plan for this
week and special day-August %, 20
80 and 81. This arrangement leaves
next week open for ChautaUqua, the
two following weeks for our Commun-
ity Church Vacation School, then the
last week of August for a fine Scout
Camp before school begins.
