Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, January 13.-With the G.
w. A. program In full swing for light
and heavy manual labor on municipal
projects, forest and State highway and
trail building, street car track repairs
and other work requiring Drawn, the
State Welfare Commission Is now turn
ing toward the white collar" brigade
Of men and women.
This week saw more than 1000
placed on pay rolls provided by Fed
eral civic works funds. Included in
this number were more than 600 school
teachers, as well as enumerstors OF
census. engineers, draftsmen, clerks and
stenographers: Jobs ranging all the
way from technical surveys Of sanitary
projects for large cities down to beauty
parlor workers are being supplied.
In this city more than 100 "rat
catchers" went to work for the health
department, paid by G. w. A. funds, In
q general roundup and determination
OF rats. The work Of the pied Pipers"
will move from Seattle to about 30
other cities, surveyed by the United
States Health Survey to determine the
prevalence Of diseases which may be
spread by rats.
Health Programs.
The fact that G. w. A. funds are
being made available to put trained
workers OF the forgotten man" type
back into usual occupations has opened
the way for the health authorities as
well as planning commissions to carry
health which have been discussed for
years but never brought to actually
because Of inability to obtain necessary
FUNDS. In the past, technical help has
been too costly. Now 1t Is anxious to
be at work almost under any condi-
tions, and money Is being made avail
able by the Federal Government.
The natural result has been to lift
the spirit Of depression among the
more highly trained unemployed, who
have been having q hard struggle to
make both ends meet for the past two
years.
This recovery of spirits is causing a
reaction felt in all lines Of industry,
aNnougn not as yet reflected by any
great percentage Of industrial pay roll
increase. but has created q more opti-
m1stic feeling for future Conditions.
The recent floods, leaving a trait of
destruction and suffering, have at the
same time opened the way for the use
OF many thousands Of workers on really
necessary construction work. Thou
sands used in the past on beautifyine
and clearing the shoulders and richts
OF way on highways are now being
shifted as rapidly as possible into the
stricken regions to aid In removing
nood debris and restoring lines OF com.
munlcations washed away.
Timber Improving.
The State Highway Department esti-
mates that the damage suffered bv
State highways alone viii REQUIRE
$1,000. 900, while in many of the strick-
en- districts, where the property loss
runs into millions Of dollars, dikes must
be repaired, bridges restored and farms
cleaned up. calling for many more mil
lions. 'A'''-
Washington's basic industry, timber
Is slowly showing signs Of betterment'
with a steady week by week increase
In the number Of employed, more orders
and better markets. When the timber
industry is healthy business generally
responds rapidly.

bers to administer the act. A railroad
retirement fund is to be set in the
United States Treasury as a special
fund. It will be made up of contri-
buttons from the carriers and their
employees. These funds are to be in
vested in obligations Of the United
States.
The cost of administering the act is
estimated at $4,000 year. There
are now l,2l5,0 900 employees subject to
the provisions of the act. An en-
ploye at the age of IS years, or who
has completed 30 years service. is
entitled to an annuity on retirement
The amount of the annuity will be
based upon the length OF service, and
the sum of the amounts determined by
multiplying the number of years Of
service, not exceeding 80. by the fol-
lowing percentage of the monthly
compensation:
From S29 to sI2O Monthly.
Two per cent of the first $50, -
per cent of the next 500, and l per
cent of his compensation in excess Of
$3.50 No compensation in excess Of
$500 a month shall be computed for
this purpose. The annuities on a
monthly basis where the average
monthly compensation has been $50,
after 30 years or more of service, will
be S29 at age 60, S34.80 at age 81, and
SAB so a. age IS and over. Where the
average monthly compensation is $500
and over at 80 years of service or
more. the annuities will be $50. $96
and S120 month. The annuities for
intermediate average monthly COM
pensation will vary depending on the
amount Of the compensation.
1t has been roughly estimated that
the annual contribution required by
this act will amount to about $780,
100000 for the next four years-s60,- =
100000 from the carriers and $780,
100000 from the employees. As the
President has said the contributions
will increase in later years.
The Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage
bill permits farmers to go into bank
ruptcy and make an agreement with
their creditors, or upon failure to be
able to do this, the act permits the
farmer to remain on his farm for a
period of five years upon paying a
rental fixed by the court and gives
him first preference to redeem his
farm upon paying the appraised
value.
Some of the Western legislators
even though they voted for this bill
regard it as more or less of a gold
brick" so far as the farmers are
concerned. They do not see how it
will be possible for the farmers to
make lump sum payment to save
their farms at the end of the five
year period
