MOVE
TREATED IN REPORT
Considered as Means of Temporary
Relief by State College Com
mittee on Unemployment

The "Back-to-the-Land" move
nent was considered as means OF
temporary relief in the report OF
the State College of Washington
committee on unemployment 20
the state legislature. The back-to-
the-Iand report embodied many OF
the recommendations drawn up at
the annual conference of the agri-
cultural extension service In JAN
uary. The report says in part:
"We shall discuss the vocational
rehabilitation of the unemployed
only in so far as it is a part OF the
back-to-the-land movement. We
consider a general back-to-the-land
movement at this time unwise.
Farm products have declined in
price far more than have the pro-
ducts of industry, or industrial
wages, or other personal services,
or the price of products which the
farmers must buy. This unfair re-
lationship will be made worse by a
general back-to-the-land movement
which can result only in further in
creasing the supplies of farm pro-
ducts, which in many cases are al
ready so low in price that growers
are unable to secure from them the
costs of harvesting and moving
them to market. A general back
to-the-land movement cannot re-
suit otherwise than in lowering the
already relatively low standards OF
living of the agricultural popula-
ton. Under the circumstances, We
consider that general back-to-
the-land movement should not be
encouraged, and certainly should
not be promoted with public funds.
Furthermore any large scale back
to-the-land movement in this state
would be likely to result in failure
and tragedy to the participants.

EXPLOSION OF KRAKATOA
BELIEVED TO BE RECORD

The greatest explosion which
the world has ever known took
place in 1883 when the volcano,
Krakatoa, located in the Sunda
strait between Java and Sumatra,
blew up. Eat that time q huge
crater stood there, with a rim Of
islands 1900 feet above the sea-"
writes Charles Baker, jr., in Boys
Life, the monthly magazine Of the
Soy Scouts of America. ''The whole
cluster Of islands were blown into
bits, leaving hole in the sea 1000
feet deep; $500 vertical feet Of
rock was thrown aside.
These explosions were caused
by steam from sea water in the
throat Of the new crater meeting
the first Of the molten Laval con-
tinues Mr.. Baker. "After the first
explosion, water probably chilled
the lava to crust, enclosing enor-
nous quantities Of steam within.
This finally burst through the
chilled crust in the most violent
explosion, hurting vast mass into
the air. The sound Of the explo-
sion was heard 5000 miles away.
Never before or since have sound
waves carried so far on earth.

have no outlet. Because of this the
hue and cry for bond issues has
stopped. In the long run the prop
erty owners will benefit.
For several years the agitation
has been going on throughout the
United States to increase costs OF
government, to bond everything
and to let property owners and
"big business" pay.
This was propaganda from Mos
cow-there never has been any
question but the communistic
groups long ago decided that their
cause was lost in a government
such as that of the United States,
unless they could, through confis-
cation of taxation, drive industry
and business to the wall, then take
it over for greater development Of
municipal operations.
A study of proposed legisla-
ton here during the last decade,
shows that the municipal owner
ship groups have sponsored bill
after bill designed to permit pub
lie departments to go into bus
mess.
Port districts have asked for
broad powers to engage generally
in all types Of enterprises rang
ing from mercantile establish
ments ranging from mercantile es-
Establishments to the operation Of
ferry and boat lines.
There have been bills designed
to place municipalities in general
power business.
The district power bill is the di-
rect result of this propaganda, the
act carrying provisions relative to
taxation if ever enacted in any Sec
ton of the state will result in con-
fiscation of every bit of property
included in it boundaries.

iscate truck and cargo, under re-
cent opinion of the attorney gen.
eral.
This is in conformity with the
new state law designed to halt gas
tax evasions and bootlegging of
gasoline.
The attorney generals office has
advised Director of Licenses Har-
ry C. Huse, that the law should be
most stringently enforced.
Some idea of just what the eco
nomic depression means is to be
found in the report of the state
treasurer, Otto A. Case, for April.
Automobile license fee collec-
tions fere approximately 100000
behind those of 1882. Collections
to April 80, totaled $1,616,200 as
compared with $1,867 900 for
1882 for the same period and ST.
199,70O for 1881.
These funds are the only source
of revenue the state has for high
way maintenance and construction
and under the new set-up in the
state for taking care of all state
and county highways excepting
small bypass roads and lanes.
It will behove every person in the
state who has checking account
in any bank of the commonwealth
during recent years and has not
been keeping that account active,
to start doing so.
w. H. Pemberton, supervisor Of
inheritance taxes, is now checking
up on the banks under an old state
law, which provides that when
such funds remain idle or accounts
are held inactive over six years
they shall be considered abandon
ed and be escheated to the state.
Pemberton is out to get these
funds. He charges that banks for
years have violated this escheat
law holding such idle or abandon
ed funds.
On May % the state supreme
court will hand down its decision
on the legality of the SIC, 000, 900
bond issue enacted by the last ses-
sion of the legislatude to finance
unemployment relief, paying in

fund by setting aside $750,0O0

bond will be used by the state re-

DELAY Means Despair
Relief Bill Must Pass Now

Six thousand District families destitute and in despair
raise their hands in prayer today the United States Senate
They beseech the immediate enactment of the urgent def
ciency bill carrying the appropriation Of $6250OO for the
relief of distress among the unemployed Of the National
Capital
As to the merits of the appropriation there dispute
AS to its necessity there is doubt
In the face of suffering there is unanimity Of demand
that the money be made available.
There is no doubt that Congress will appropriate the
money In this instance all members of the legislature have
shown sympathy willingness to do their part in voting
the relief fund.
But there great danger that the necessary action will
come too late.
Already the emergency relief organization has greatly cur
tailed its expenditures has had to stop the distribution
of work cards has relief funds to $S70 per family
Of four.
This week the affairs of the organization acute It
has less than $1,000 meet the necessities of its wards
BY scrimpng and scrapng the organization will be able
to give the necessitous something on Saturday.
After that there is nothing but despair.
That unless Congress concludes action upon the relief
bill at once
The deficiency bill carrying the relief item will come
before the Senate either today tomorrow in all likelihood
Should the Senate adopt the slightest amendment to
any provision of the bill the will have to back
to the House.
day or two of delay between the House the Senate
over amendment will be enough break the weak
chain of relief which is keeping than $4,000 men,
women and children alive
Humbly and trungy the needy upon Congress that
Il consider the dire results which may follow the slightest
delay in completing the enactment of the bill.
Ordinarily few days makes little difference in the situa
tion which bill is designed handle But every hour in
this instance means suffering to thousands
Those thousands suffering greatly already
They living little and accepting gratefully the
meagre allowance granted them.
The Congress be deaf the pleas which they make
for uninterrupted continuance of that little.

in this country.
As advocated by the Hearst newspapers General GasSord
urges the establishment of camps for these wanderers where
they be fed sheltered and made at least partially self
supporting He believes that they could raise much Of the
food that they would require and engage in other activities
which would be useful to them and would help to deray
the cost of the undertaking.
California has tried the experiment successfully with 30
camps of this type in operation last winter Other States
and communities doing the TO handle the problem
nationwide SCALE however the cooperation Of the Fed
eral Government is necessary.
This should be granted at this session Of Congress
possible failing that early in the special session which
presumably will be called by Presidentelect Roosevelt

have thousands of young criminals its hands, led into
those practices by sheer hunger and want when they could
