through the steel vault doors of the
First State bank Of Yacolt, three I'M

HOQUIAM ASSURED
FIRST CLASS HOTEL

The citizens drive Of Hoquiam for
a 100000 hotel is meeting with very
good success. The latest reports
state that over half Of the amount
necessary to finance the structure
has been subscribed by the people of
that city. No doubt the full amount
win be on hand before another week.
The need of a first class hotel has
been felt for some time, 1t being a
necessity in the progress Of the most
westernly city. When once the pro
gressive HoQuiam spirit has been
aroused, it does not take long for
them to get what is needed. Every
one Of It's people puts their shoulders
to the wheel and in a short time their
wish Is realized.
Some Of Hoquiam's most prominent
citizens head the committee, which
work in districts previously decided
upon. IN this way no two committees
cover the same field.

for his children. Civilization means
that IL It means anything at all.
There is a constant cry for efficient
labor, but how can underfed, under
educated, undersupported, unambi-
tious labor be efficient? How can dis
contented labor be efficient?
Decent Wages and Conditions.
II efficiency pays, then it pays to
get efficiency. and the only way to
get efficiency Is to pay labor wage
that win feed its strength, clothe its
body, maintain its health, improve its
intelligence, compose its mind and
sustain its family In reasonable COM
fort.
This cannot be accomplished by
ompulsion," whether applied
through the arbitrary power Of the
employer operating upon necessity Of
the employee or through court injunc-
tions or industrial courts or other
wise.
Efficiency comes from content
ment, and contentment is produced
by decent wages and working condi-
lions and in no other way. The en-
Iightened employer must see that ev-
cry interest of his own Is advantaged

In establishing the living wage the
basis should not be merely enough to

be sufficient to enable the thrifty and
Industrious worker to maintain him

well as a living wage.
Society win be benefited by the

to take up the losses that arise from
periods Of unemployment due to in

Saving gives a stability to the eco

The adequate wage which promotes
