rain HATS NORTHWEST FOREST FIRES!
Why Two States
of Washington?
EDITORIAL

The State of Western Washington and
the State Of Eastern Washington may
not exist on the maps-but they exist in
fact. For several months each year they
are cut off from each other The tower
ing Cascades form a barrier not only
geographical, but commercial and social.
Breaking down of that barrier is the
biggest and most profitable job these two
states can undertake in the next few
years. To accomplish it there are plans
for building two or three dirt trails thru
the mountain passes, impossible in
winter, dirty, dusty and dangerous in
summer.
WHAT this state needs is NOT three or four
w fair-weather trails across it from east to
west, but ONE BROAD, PAVED, ALL-YEAR
highway across the mountains.
King county legislators met in Seattle this
week and talked of plans for two or three roads,
maintained by the state. They talked of taking
over the Stevens Pass road They talked of in
creasing gasoline taxes so per cent
They talked of everything but the most i'm
portant job this state has to perform-the build
ing of permanent all-weather, all-year road
for fast motor traffic, concrete highway 80 or
40 feet wide up hill and down dale, across the
state.
INSTEAD of one up-and-coming consolidated state
we have in Washington practically two states
east side and west side The sides out of touch
with each other several months each year, when
present transmountain roads are snow-blocked
What's the use of having half dozen fairly good"
roads the mountains if they're to be closed in
winter? Why scatter all the road money over these
expensive-to-manta highways?
Why not put the money into one real honest-to-
Hannah highway that can be kept open the year
round; that will shorten the distance and the time
between Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma; that will make
ONE state of this commonwealth instead of two?
THOUSANDS of tourists roll westward every year.
Some of them come over Snoqualme. Some of
them are struggling over Stevens Pass, which is
NOT good road, yet
And whole host of them route themselves down
the Columbia river highway instead, fearing the
Cascade passage.
Tell the tourists in Spokane: There's a 4O.foot
paved highway the mountains to Seattle and
Tacoma"-and which road they'll take
THE STAR does not know WHERE this road
should be built HOW it should be built That
is problem for engineers-and they will solve it
quickly if they handed the job
Transportation still is civilization 1t is the royal
road to progress
Two three, four haf-year roads, enormously
expensive to maintain, comparatively slow to drive
don't represent progress; they represent waste
and nefficency.
ONE CONCRETE strip, linking east
~ side and west side, inviting tour
lists, cutting down travel time in all
weathers and seasons, is about as pro-
gressive and economical project as
this state-or these two states of East
ern and Western Washington-ca en-
gage in.
Let's get those plans ready this win
ter and get busy next spring.
