"The 18th Amendment is a part of
the Constitution of the United States
Congress cannot modify it or any other
part of the constitution; Congress can
only submit proposed change to the
people for their decision. The people
have an absolute right to exercise their
ultimate power in deciding any consti-
tutional question whenever such a
question has become of national in
terest. I made a statement more than
two years ago in harmony with this
principle which is reported on page
1896 of the Congressional Record for
May %, 1890.

toxicants for beverage purposes are
well-known, and have not changed

POPULATION MOVEMENT

The United States Department OF
Agriculture estimates that 1,472,O0C
persons left farms for towns and cities
in 1881, and that 100000 persons
moved farmward The gain in number
of persons living on farms was 648OO0
For the year 1880 it was estimated that
1,766,O00 persons moved from cities to
farms and 1,727,000 persons moved from
farms to cities-these two movements
almost balancing each other. There
was a slight decrease in the number
of persons going to farms in 1881, and
a considerable decrease in the num-
Der going to cities.

Political
Observations
BY Jimmie X. Browne

One thing the present presidential
campaign is doing for the voters OF
this state: 1t is debunking much Of
the propaganda which the chain news
paper group in Seattle has been spread
ing for political reasons.
Down here at the state capital where
everything pertaining to state welfare
and state politics finally reaches, the
story is going around that when the
lid is tilted behind the tariff agita-
ton and the reader looks under, he
or she will find advertising contracts
are beginning to show up.
The United States and this state
are today confronted with serious
attempt on the part of importers and
others to displace American made
goods with those of foreign production.
False and misleading propaganda is
being circulated in an effort to dis
credit the tariff and prepare the
groundwork for a general downward
revision.
This is going to hit Washington
state, with it's eggs, butter, fat, hides,
woods, numbers, etc.
Between ninety and ninety-five per
cent of the goods produced in Amer
lea are sold in the United States and
consumed here. The exports or five
per cent are what we hear so much
about, statistics reveal. Foreign COM
petition seeks this market by fair
means or foul. 1t is this market which
must be protected, because the more
imported goods, the less market for
home products. The lesser production
the more unemployed. The less work,
the fewer workers.
Another important angle generally
overlooked but one which students Of
economics are becoming more con-
cerned with is the debased currency
of foreign nations we do business with.
Take right at home. An American
dollar buys $114 worth of goods in
Canada. These can be shipped into
the United States, at profit on the
currency alone or ID per cent, or in
other words can be sold ID per cent
lower on the exchange rate alone.
An American dollar in the Orient
will buy three dollars worth of goods,
profit on the debased currency of
300 per cent or in commodity terms,
the exporter can sell on this side at
price the American producer can
not touch, and still make a profit
ranging from so to 200 per cent.
The poultry raisers of this state
should realize that what they sell one
dozen eggs for the importer can buy
five dozen in China ship them across
the ocean and sell for fifty per cent
lower than the Washington producer
can market them for. This because
of the fact of the debased value of
the silver dollar in the Orient.
Fortunately in this state where tar
if protection is SO vital the old con-
sentative leaders in both parties are
protective tariff followers.
With the filings closed it is inter-
esting to watch the state and legis-
lative campaigns get underway. 1t is

Steady Increase in
Employment Is Shown

Washington While reports from
many sources, including the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, reveal
steady increase in employment in
the United States, 16 nations IN Eu-
rope also reveal conditions so much
improved that observers generally
believe that the depression will
have definitely reached an end by
spring. Employment has increased
anywhere from to per cent since
June in most countries, it is re-
vealed.
In nine other countries of Europe,
including England and Japan, un-
employment figures show an in
crease, however. Nations which
show improved conditions besides
the United States, include Italy,
Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia,
Switzerland, Canada, France, Po-
land, and Finland.
The American Federation of La.
Dor and the federal government both
report increasing employment in
this country. The labor federation
adds the qualification, however, that
while this trend is encouraging to
business recovery there is still a
major relief problem facing the ma
ton during this winter.

mentions his fathers name. / sus-
pect, however, from the way he acted
that he was an only child with maybe
grandmother or two or few maid

one of these boys who didn't willingly

He must have been a good boy, or
the Lord wouldn't have chosen him to
go to Nineveh to try to get the town
cleaned up and the laws enforced and
little order established. / suppose
he was one of these boys who had

had not been trained to do unpleasant
things and he had been used to sleep
ing until some one called him. You
will recall that when the storm was
on, and every one else was tearing
about trying to keep the ship from
going down, they found Jonah sound
asleep waiting for the alarm clock to
go off or for freshman to wake him
up. No; he had never been used to
getting up without being called.
He must have been smart fellow,
though, or it never would have oc-
Cured to anyone to send him to a
place like Ninevah with any hope that

Jonah was smart enough; he was
in a general way good enough, what
he lacked was sense of duty, the
backbone to tackle hard job and
carry it through whether 1t was pleas
ant or not.
