Plan Arbitration Law
As Aid to State Courts

A proposed state arbitration law
will be drafted and presented to the
coming session of the legislature for
enactment, it was decide dat state
wide meeting in Seattle recently, held
under the auspices of the Washington
State Chamber of Commerce.
E. L. Skeel and P. G. Davis, Seat
tie; George S. Long, Tacoma; Louis
Meunch, Olympia, were selected as
members of committee to draft a
bill and report back to a later meet
ing. Three other members will be
named later.
The proposed law will lessen the
work of the courts, now crowded with
cases involving business disputes,
will give litigants speedier adiudica,
ton and reduce their costs, speakers
said.
D. o. Lively, manager Of the state
chamber, who called the meeting
cited the present New Jersey law as
model law for this state. Charles
E. Shepard, Seattle lawyer, however
declared that the bill drafted by the
uniform law commission, recommend
ed for universal adoption by states
had distinct merits which should be
considered.
The proposed uniform law, the re
Gently enacted federal arbitration act
and the New Jersey statute will all be
considered by the committee in draft

state to push the work as rapidly as
possible.
Left to nature, the pass would not
be free from snow in ordinary years
before the middle of June and In some
years snow lies deep, near the summit
well along in July. Last year the
state cleared the pass of snow and
opened it for travel on April 10, max

so deep then as it has been this year,
however and warm weather came
earlier.

In his first public address delivered
after his appointment as Secretary OF

expressed the opinion that in the
efficiency of production of farm crops
and their marketing lay the true road
to prosperity for the American

ton between the business man OF
the farm and the business man Of the
city. have never seen anything
gained by trying to band one class
against another.
"The farmers must get quality into
the markets to reduce costs. The con
sumer cannot be expected to pay
much more than he is now paying
for his beefsteaks, his bread, his
staples.
But you don't need to ask him to
pay more. The thing to aim for is a
shorter distance between the con
sumer and the producer. There must
be neutrality-suspicious. between one
producer and another, and between
producer and the ultimate market.
ut is our one remedy to help every.
one to understand the few simple car
dinal principles, and the government
task is to get those principles to the
people.
II want the farmers to have reli
able information fresh when it is
needed, and not after the emergency
is past. This is the opportunity for
our newspapers to be of universal
service. The farmer must know how
when and what to plant. Wheat pro
duction is a prerequisite to orderly
marketing.
"And by balanced production l do
not mean a big reduction of wheat
one year, or big reduction Of corn
or Of alfalfa. mean little shift
from one crop to another. We must
inject business into agriculture, and
there is only one way to retain our
high farm values-that is, through
efficiency in agriculture"
