Much thought is being directed
to the new saocial security program
and employment insurance. There
Is no doubt that it fills q very real
need in our scheme Of living. It Is
q substitute for the old fashioned,
but still eminently worthy, plan OF
saving q part Of every dollar one
earns for old age. The difficulty with
most such schemes that are being
offered is that they remove COM
pletely any necessity to practice the
wholesome, disciplining. character
building practice Of personal thrift.
Take from any person the necessity
Of thrift and personal self denial
and you have robbed him on one OF
lies most important teachings. We
can cover this up with all. sorts Of
wise and eloquent talk about the
fuller life and all such catch phrases
but the fact still remains that the
fullest life Is the life that has learn
ed how to manage its affairs, has
learned industry, efficiency, hon.
esty, self control, self denial and
thrift. For such there is no sub
stitute.

Town boosters, chambers of COM
merce, commercial clubs and similar
groups have always had their eyes
and ears open to secure new indus
tries for their communities. This
Is commendable, Of course, but we
have always felt that it is much
better, from every standpoint, to see
that local industries are encouraged
and helped in every way possible to
expand. Far better is It to have q
small, sure, well known local outfit
grow and expand from a small be-
ginning to a large enterprise than to
start with a large enterprise and
then for some reason or other have
It fold up and go out Of business,
leaving the community with only
strangled hopes and in many cases
some extremely dead horses to pay
for. We think the city council was
smart In making a concession to the
local custom cannery for a site for
its establishment. Better to give a
piece Of property away to an organ
tzation that will use it than to sell
1t at q good figure to a Spectator.

In story printed last week con

In q story printed last week con-
corning the candidacy Of L. E. john
son as state representative, we seem
to have given some unmeant Of
Tense. We should, perhaps, have
qualified the statement made re-
garding the type Of men who largely
composed the membership Of the
last legislature. The presence of
saner men, largely from this side Of
the mountains, certainly saved the
state from being burdened with q
whole program of unAmerican laws
and regulations. This county must
continue to be careful in the selec-
ton Of citizens whom we send to
the state house to make the laws
under which we are to operate.
A poll by the American Institute
Of Public Opinion, a non-partisan
fact finding organization, showed
that voters favor retaining Vivilian
Conservation Camps. SO percent fav-
orable to II percent against. A sur
prising feature of this vote was that
n percent voted in favor Of in
Guiding military training II tho
CCC camps and % voted against it.
The number Of passengers carried
on trains Is third greater than
last year. Several things are re-
sponsible for the increase, better
times, lower rates, new streamline
trains. To this might be added the
fact Of the mounting toll Of auto
mobile accidents. Death and acct
dent from railroads have became
almost negligible.
It Is well to remember that the
youngster coming In to sell a paper
or to solicit the running Of an err
rand is just as much in earnest as
the salesman who comes in to sell q
big bill of goods and just as anxious
to make the sale.
Strange how some folks think
that in order to know life they have
to mess up their lives with q lot
Of experiences that they regret when
they reach the age Of sanity and
reason.

It has been stated that the ma
chimes have created an uneconomic
condition for the reason that they
have thrown many out Of employ
ment. We are inclined to believe
that the fault lies with man in that
he hasn't shown the ingenuity to
meet the situation. It is just as
possible to keep an economic level
with the machines as it was without
them. The whole solution lies In
wise management and meeting a
known situation in the manner that
everyone who gives the matter
thought, knows it must be met, in
one or two ways. First, the pur-
chasing power Of consumers must
be raised. Second, the available
hours of work must be divided up
among those who are ready and
willing to do the work. II purchas-
ing power is increased more manu-
featured products can be purchased
and more men employed. II the
available labor is prorated among
all who need employment, three
fourths of the people who are en-
ployed will not be called upon to
support the one fourth Of the peo-
pie who are idle, and, because all
are earning will add to the purch-
asing power. There is no plan or So
luton that will succeed that does
not include the employment OF all
enployable men. This may be done
by expanding markets, increasing
potential purchasing power, or the
shortening of hours of labor that
all may have just share OF the
work hours of labor. Our problem
is not solved until employment Is
accomplished in one of the above
ways.

Everyone has plans as to what he
would do If he had million dol
lars to spend. Here is a chance
to test their merit. A wealthy man
has offered, through the Atlantic
Monthly, $1,000 for the best plan
on how to bequest most wisely ST.
100000. It sounds easy but when a
man who is smart enough to amass
q million is in doubt how to be-
queath it, it is not as easy as it ap-
pears.

YOUR BILLION DOLLAR
PAY ROLL

PAY ROLL
Whether you happen to be an en-
ployer or an employe, you're now on
the disbursing end of one Of the
longest pay rolls in history.
It carries hundreds Of thousands
of names. It has expanded more
than 40 percent during the past
three years. Steadily it continues to
expand-year by year, month by
month.
In June of 1888 for example, its
beneficiaries totalled over 5000.
BY June of 1884. the count had
swollen to 661, 900. BY 1895 they ex-
ceeded 717,0O0. On last June 80. the
exact count was 1924, 259.
And on that date their pay checks
added up to $129, 487,167 for the
month which is at the rate OF
more than billion and half dol
lars per annum.
Who are these pay-rollers who
collect such huge sums out OF the
taxes, direct or hidden, contributed
by every American worker and con-
sumner?
A recent report Of the United
States Civil Service Commission Of
fers the answer.
They are the civilian employees on
the swiftly expanding Executive pay
roll of the federal government. The
list doesn't cover the army or navy,
the legislative or the judicial
branches Of government. And, Of
course, it doesn't include the hordes
of jobholders in state and local
employ.
Most of this army Of Executive
Department pay-rollers is conferred
in Washington-in new and costly
offices also built or rented at your
expense.
What are we getting for all this
expenditure-with its certain, tho
indirect, effect in boosting the cost
of living? Principally q large bill
to be paid by our own and future
generations, and a lot more bureau
cratic interference with our work
and our lives than we either want
or need.
A reasonable number Of public
servants is q prime necessity Of
government. An unreasonable num-
Der means only useless activity and
waste. And for both you pay the
bill -.
At the rate of a billion and half
dollars q yearl

A great many voters are not
aware of the fact that in this dis
trict they are entitled to vote for
two representatives. This district
comprises four counties, Franklin,
Benton, Klickitat and Skamania.
The district gets two legislators and
one state senator. So every voter
will have the duty Of voting for two
LEGISLATORS. Democrats are at a dis
advantage, however, for they only
have one candidate and there are
two vacancies. Fred Kemp OF Pros
ser, who has already served a term
at Olympia, has filed for the job
again. The republicans have three
candidates for the two jobs. L. E..
johnson, of Kennewick, and Jay
Pierce and Bessie Ratliff, both OF
Stevenson, are the candidates for
the two law making Jobs.

It is an art to live. Not merely to
exist as animals exist, and as clod-
dish minds exist, but to really live.
to dip deep into life and drink from
its flowing brim deeply. It is an art
that all too few acquire, and failing
to do so, live q cramped existence,
circumscribed by q petty round Of
monotonous tasks that bring no
inspiration in their doing, no sat-
isfaction in their accomplishment.
A full, rich life is not thing Of
chance or accident. It comes only
as reuult of deliberate planning
and study and effort. We plan care
fully for many Of the petty and in
consequential things we do, but how
few plan their lives? Not that each
day should be laid out for years
ahead, but the general direction
should be laid out. What sort Of q
home is one to have? Is it to be
merely a stopping place between mad
rushes here and there? Is 1t going
to be a few non descript articles
thrown together to clutter up so
much house space, or is 1t going
to be q home with character, q
home that expresses the individual,
that reveals in its sturdy, genuine,
sound wholesomeness, the character
of its builders. Homes do that to
an astonishing degree. As with the
home so with all the things Of life
If there Is intelligence back Of 1t
to build a plan, the life can be real
a warm, living, beautiful, orderly
thing, that speaks eloquently to all
who come within its influence. In
the building Of such homes and
such lives lies the true art Of liv-
ing.

two thirds of the rural population Is
