Some of those on the train never
reached the game at all, and others
who did get to their seats in the
stadium were unable to see what
took place, I'm sure. Drinking at
the stadium was rampant and my
escort was continually bothered by
the man at his left who insisted on
showing an evil-smelling bottle Of
liquor in front of him at frequent
intervals. His generosity declined
several times, the man on the left
at last turned to us with this anus
ing query: Don't you like foot
ball?"
AS. for the football game, it was
spectacle which could not be COM
pared to anything unless it be a
Spanish bullfight. Hired athletics
from Chicago, playing for the Uni
versity, battered away at hired ath-
letes from California, playing for
Washington State College, much like
two wild buffalo with their thick
heads together intent on goring
out the bowls of the other animal.
The University won, so I thought,
because its players were more ex-
pert at sinking shoulders into their
opponents midsection.
The trip home was worse than
that to the coast, if such condi-
ton could be achieved. Young wo-
men, apparently fatigued to the
point where decency ceases to be
important, sprawled in the arms of
young men or dozed on the cushions
obvious to all exposure. Other cou-
pies, whose supply of liquor had not
been exhausted, carried on in a
fashion that led one to believe their
actions were limited only by the
type of furniture the train afforded.
Beer was sold in the coaches.
empty bottles rolled about the floor
mingled their odor with that of dis
carded cigar and cigarette butts.
Ribald and lewd stories were told
in mixed groups and gambling was
carried on by other passengers who
had not saturated their bodies with
more strong drink than nature
could absorb At one point saw
boy in his teens stretched on the
floor in the vestibule connecting
two coaches, "out cold" Those who
wandered up and down the train
stepped over him or on him.
All I ask is this: What is the
American home and American
schools coming to when things OF
this sort are accepted as humorous?
What is the moral effect on our
sons and daughters? Can anything
be done about it, or Is this the sort
of conditions the American people
want?
Very truly yours,

At this writing President Roose-
welt is on his way to the inter-Amer-
lean peace conference at Buenos
Aires, where he will make speech
the first day and then return. He
was preceded south by an impos-
ing American delegation, headed by
Secretary of State Hull-implac-
able fighter for better commercial
and diplomatic relations between
countries.
There has been considerable dis
cussion concerning the value or
the futility of the conference. Some
point out, with truth, that there is
no danger of a war arising in North
or South America, that Europe and
the East are the danger spots.
However, it is the Presidents be-
which is shared by many
that if the nations Of the Western
Hemisphere show Europe that q
round-table discussion Of issues can
lead to amicable settlements and
agreements, some progress toward
world peace will be made. And 1t Is
likewise believed that if the Pres
ident takes a fortnight and ag-
gressive stand for peace and throws
his vast prestige against armed con-
flict heads of powers which are
now close to war may think again
before giving the command to open
hostilities.
The Presidents trip to Buenos
Aires is thus in the nature Of a
gesture In world which was never
nearer to armed chaos. AS q matter
Of fact, in recent months there have
been more occurrences contributory
to war than there were in 1912 and
1913.
Everyone hopes that gesture will
be productive of good. In the mean
time, it seems that every seasoned
news commentator and every old
time correspondent, is certain that
war in Europe and Asia is inevitable
-one of the leading correspondents
recently stated, on departing for
Europe, that he was going to cover
the next war.
The Italo-G German recognition of
the Spanish rebels has further
widened the cleavage between these
powers and France and Russia. The
great force existing today in both
Europe and Asia Is the force of
hatred.

WASHINGTON SHOULD LEAD
NOT FOLLOW

No state in the Union has more
to offer the tourist than Washing
ton, and at a time more tourists
want to travel.
The summer time is the natural
time to travel and our state is at its
best during the summer months,
offering the ocean, sound, noun
tains, lakes, streams and forests, to-
gether with splendid highways
which make all of these resources
readily available.
Tourists coming to this state are
amazed at what we have to offer,
but it is unfortunately true that
the vast majority of tourists know
nothing of what this state has to
offer them because our state has
Jagged behind the procession OF pro-
gressive states which have inaug-
urated constructive programs OF
state advertising.
Washington ought not to lose
no time in launching such pro-
gram. The next legislature should
authorize this work, not as an ex-
pense but simply as a business IN
vestment that would greatly in
crease gasoline tax revenues and
place many millions of dollars in
circulation in other channels OF
trade. Increased gas tax revenue
alone would pay for such q cam
paign many times over, to say moth
ing Of the increased business which
the state would enjoy.
This industry is one which must
be developed through advertising
and this work can best be done by
the state itself. This state has not
hesitated to invest money In the
development of other industries, and
we think there should be no hesita-
ton in launching program that
would dvelop that which could cas-
lily prove our Number One indus
try.

Dear Editor:
Last week I was invited to 60 by
special train with q group Of friends
from Eastern Washington to q foot
ball game at Seattle. To put 1t
mildly, the things I saw and heard
on that trip were revolving and q
cause for real concern to every In
telligent citizen.

portions and drunkenness was COM

and conducting themselves in q

Not even in the boom days was
there such a surge of extra divi-
dends, wage increases and employe
bonuses as this season. Corporate
industry is pouring out money to its
stockholders and workers in unprec-
edented amounts.
A list of extra dividends and bon
uses declared would take many
pages to detail, but here are some
outstanding items: Steel has an
nounced a 10 percent advance in
wages, which will up payrolls $7O,-
100000 in 1897. General Motors will
pay it's workers Christmas bonus
of $4,000, 900, in addition to other
benefits. Chrysler has voted an ex-
ira dividend of $3.50 per share. The
Eastman Kodak declared 75-cent
extra, and Jewel Tea Company 81.
Standard Oil of New jersey will pay
a $4,5OO,0O0 bonus to workers and
Sears, Roebuck one of $1,500,000.
Upshot of this is that dividends of
various big industries will be as
large as in pre-depression days
while wages, in some cases, will be
higher. Stee1's new wage rate Is
the highest in its history, General
Motors is 10 percent above the 1929
average. Business Week says that
next year industry's labor costs will
possibly be the highest in all U. s.
industrial history.
What caused this amazing
change? Obvious answers is better
times and there is no question but
what industry in general has pulled
out of depression, has entered q
period of recovery.
But that isn't the entire answer to
why business is figuratively break
ing its neck in an effort to get as
many dollars as possible into the
hands of stockholders and workers
before 1887 dawns. Big and potent
influence is the new tax bill on UNI
distributed corporation profits, pass
ed by the last Congress.
Ills C6A JILL 4CV4C0 VcACo Va III
precedented severity on such pro-
fits taxes ranging up to q percent.
But when the profits are distributed
in either wages, bonuses or divi-
dends, the tax is avoided. And that
is the major reason why business Is
following its present lavish generous
course. According to the New York
Journal of Commerce, distributions
to stockholders ordered for the last
three months Of this year directly
traceable to the tax law, total at
least $500, 000, 444.
Economists are highly dubious, OF
the ultimate result Of the law, fear
it will prevent industry from build
ing up SURPRISES that are essential II
future depressions are to be surviv-
ed. In the meantime, however, the
tax is helping cause veritable div
ident and wage boom.
