TWO GOOD ARGUMENTS

WHEN the state legislature
meets in Olympia in January
it will have an item on its calen-
dar which while of especial import
ance to one district is of interest
to all automobile owners of the
state. Legislators of southeastern
Washington have prepared a res
olution by which they hope to gain
an appropriation large enough to
terminate negotiations for the
purchase of the Pasco-Kennewick
toll bridge.
Washington has few toll bridges
left at this time and their elimi-
nation has been looked upon by
the public as one of the ways to
bring neighbors closer together and
attract tourist travel. The COM
ing legislature must keep q sharp
eye on its budgets, but the toll
bridge proposition is entitled to
thorough hearing even in short
busy days.-Spokane Chronicle.

LEND A HELPING HAND

It is surprising how many art
icles of clothing, abandoned but
still useful, can be found in the
average home. If clean and not too
greatly worn, the garments may
be repaired, remodeled and put in
to shape for excellent service,
Nearly every closet or storage
room in the homes of residents in
good circumstances has various
articles of wearing apparel dis
carded and in the way.
Why not sort, out the better
things and give them to the poor
serving, instead of having them
and needy about town who are de-
hang in disuse, to collect dust and
possibly moths?
In that way helping hand is
will be happier and more comfort

this amount. The several states
will put more than this amount in
to hard surface roads and other
public improvements. Not to be
outdone. public utility corporations
will make investments calling fol
almost a billion. And labor has
agreed to do its part. 1t will avoid
strikes, give full value received
and make every effort to work
hand in hand with capital. This
promises much for the success Of
the cooperative effort to relieve
the present unemployment and to
restore prosperity and mainten-
ance of living conditions. Labor's
cooperation is whole-hearted.
Thus with capital and labor unit
ed in the undertaking, there is as
surance that amounts to almost a
certainty that industry and bus
mess during 1881 will advance and
the people prosper.

WELCOME

WE CANNOT refrain from add
ing our word of greeting to
the two Kennewick boys who have
within the past two weeks enter
ed upon business careers in the
home town. Warde Johnson and
Burns Brown, both of whom have
spent almost their entire lives in
the community are now numbered
among Kennewick's businessmen.
We hope both will prosper and
grow with the town and become
the substantial citizens their fa-
theirs have been before them. With
their entry into the business life
of the town, the place has entered
into a new phase of its existence.
Their enterprises are an evidence
of the permanency of the commun-
ity and an indication that the flu
ture holds forth a possibility as
promising as that in other sec
tons.

ial message as to what he was
trying to do with the country, and
I used it in the Saturday Evening
Post just as he gave it to me. He
is the fellow that while the Ambas-
sador and I and our Commercial
Attache was in his office talking
to him why he reached down in his
office drawer and dragged out
some of the best wine that was
supposed to be Oh Lord knows how
old, he said it was. It was one of
the best official touches of hospi-
tally I run onto while over there.
He looked like he was doing a
pretty good job with the country.
But, no, they must get rid of him,
and they have never looked like
anything since.
Now this King I also met and he
seemed mighty able, and a good
fellow. But Boy when they turn
against you, all you have ever done
don't mean thing. You can say
what you please about "Dictators"
but when he is q good man it's the
best form of government there is.
It's just like a business that's run
by one good man, the whole trou-
BILE with it is, you never know what
will happen when the Dictator" is
dead or thrown out. Any one of
our big men could take this coun.
try and run it fine, if he just did
MT have to mess with any political
machine, or lot Of red tape.
Now you take Mussolini. Lots
of 'em knock him, and say that 3
terrible form Of government. But
you wait till he passes out and see
what happens to that country. Still
he told me on that same trip that
he was getting his system so we'll
organized that it would carry on
after his death. But / doubt that,
for there is no mon or whole mess
Of men that could carry on with
all that he is doing. Now he abso-
lutely is doing what he thinks is
best for his country, and he has
never even by his severist critics,
been accused Of doing anything for
gain for himself. In fact he is a
poor man. You know those fellows
they got an awful lot of pride and
they want to go down as a big man
and he is really big help to that
country. Course every Country
thinks they need different kind
Of government. We think we must
have Democracy and get it too,
right in the neck sometimes.
Now they say France is just get

Still after the war everybody that

On the other hand. those In touch

There are persons within the national
organization who are inclined to be
quite open-minded on the question.
They believe policies should be flexible
enough to cover unforeseen emergencies

few years ago, they point out, the Red
Cross would have considered drought

Some of the conservative members
Of the Central Committee are said TO
be exhibiting decidedly liberal trends
Of late.
There are certain formidable draw
backs to any stretching Of policy TO
cover unemployment aid by the Red
Cross. Foremost of these is the fact
that the very nature Of the present
economic disaster Is such that the
American plan of relief, as diStin-
guished from the European govern
mental plan, Immediately runs into
difhculties.
II the Red Cross were to take over
economic relief vast sum would have
