CULTURE

Girls of the Home Relations
class have been studying the lives of
famous painters, artists, sculptors,
and their works They find 1t very
interesting and great help in Wild
ening their knowledge of the finer
arts of culture.
Painters studied were Da Vinci,
Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Ra-
phael. The pictures the class liked
best were 1.-THE Madonna 'The
Last Supper" Immaculate Concep-
ton" "The Assumption of the Ma
donna. The sculptors were those
of the Renaissance period, and a
few American works.

Election is over Everyone is sur
prised at the result. Though most
of us were aware that the Repub-
licans offered no definite program
to correct the apparent evils OF the
New Deal, most of us supposed that
the opposition of Townsend, of Al
Smith, of Gerald Smith, of Hearst,
of MacFa dden, of Curtis, of Father
CoughIin, to say nothing of that of
hundreds of other illustrious lead
ers, would cause such detection in
the ranks of Rooseveltians as would
make the contest extremely close.
Yet the tide is overwhelming Roo
sevelt is at present the most popular
man since Washington. Regardless
of plumbers of his co-workers, the
people of the United States believe
in our president. So be it, and the
best of luck to the administration!
ALI of us know that as long as we
have land and minerals and timber
we're going to geet along somehow
regardless of what the government
does or does not do.

A great shipping strike ties up the
fortunes, not only of the ship own
ers and the jobbers who shipped
the goods on the ships, but also OF
millions of people who never saw a
ship. Such is the case now. A few
days ago the authorities stepped IN
and ur1loaded perishable goods from
the tied-up ships. But there are
no authorities to step in to save the
frofits of the orchardist the wheat
grower, the stock farmer and ranch
er, the traders dependent on the
earnings of these agriculturiSts, or
the jobbers dependent on the trad
ers, or the banks dependent on the
.jobbers, or the businesses dependent
on the banks, or-but what's the
use of going further? The moral is
clear. Strikes mean stagl1ation, and

Elsewhere in this issue we have
stated that James Miller, Of the
Valley Market, returned from his
hunting trip to the Pend Orellle
section, Wednesday, burt we learn,
as we go to press, that he has not
vet arrived. He is evidently deter
mined to get his deer, and no one
can blame him for that!

We have heard that Mr.. Walker,
of the Pend Oreille hunting party,
got his deer shortly after the season
opened. We have no doubt but, ii
deer are gettable, local hunters will
all come home with the venison.
Rural folks are steady nerved and
naturally good shots and good hunt

ELECTRIC RATES

1t is remarkable how an insignificant
matter may be magnified in our minds by
ballyhoo and demagoguery. A case in point
is seen in the agitation concerning electric
rates, which has been carried OH by certain
radical politicians in recent years.
In spite of the fact that electric rates
have been steadily lowered ever since the
inception of the power industry, due to
improved methods of generation and
greater consumption, the clamor against
the industry has grown in intensity.
Yet the average bill for household
electricity is less per day than the price of
one package of cigarettes, and in most
cases is less than the tax alone OH a gallon
of gasoline.
And speaking of taxes, the average
family's tax bill is about $3.50 year, while
its electric bill is only $3372. If the family
tax bill could be reduced only 10 per cent
the saving would pay the entire electric
bill and leave about SIS for other purposes.
The politicians who agitate so wildly
against electric rates are in most cases the
very ones who are responsible for piling up
the ever increasing tax burden.
And it might also be borne i'll mind
that out Of every dollar the consumer pays
for electricity the company which serves
him must pay from II TO Is cents in taxes
of various kinds. But the radical politician
never mentions that.

A NAVY NECESSARY

There are people in the United States
who are worried about the huge appro-
priation planned for the Navy this year
They look upon warships as an unneces-
sary expense, not warranted by govern
ment at peace.
Aside from the fact that navy cannot
be constructed after war begins, these
critics should remember that the present
building program will only accomplish
what was strongly demanded for many
years "a Navy second to nome
Support for naval funds usually cen
ters around the coasts Of the United States,
with opposition strongest in the interior of
our country, where the people seldom see
a sailor and see a ship only after long
Journey. While this attitude is easily UNI
derstOod, it is somewhat difficult to recon-
ellie it with the fact that here is practically
no opposition to funds for the Army which
secures about as much money each year as
the Navy.
We have hopes that some day it will
be unnecessary for the United States or
any other government to spend huge sums
for military purposes. AT the same time, in
the present condition of world affairs, it
would be practical suicide for the United
States to permit its Navy to be out of date.
