Up In Spokane

SPOKANE - Governor Martin
said here today he would not fill
the two vacancies on the state
game commission until after the
bills passed by the legislature have
been taken care of.
The governor said he came here
for a short visit to get away from
the Legislative fog before re-
turning to Olympia to sign or veto
the rs bills on his desk. No
measure will be disposed of by the
pocket veto route, he said. All
bills not signed by next Tuesday
will be automat ically vetoed.
A special session of the legis-
lature within the next two years
is a remote possibility unless we
run into another recession and
business goes into tailspin,'
Martin said. 3tfhio
He said he was certain the state
could operate within the limits OF
the revenue bill passed at this
session.

the CUNTS were off few pounds.
but at the end of q month they
had not only regained the lost
weight. but added few pounds.
First important result of the
operations was remarkable lack

ANOTHER INDUSTRY DIES

One by one through the years the in
West have languished and died. Only
Dame Nature seemed to take pity on this
stricken city. She continued to keep the
surrounding water alive with fishes of
many varieties and regularly sprinkled the
bay bottoms with spOnges. While citizens
employed in other occupations from time
to time found themselves without employ
nlent, our eEHaen enjoyed fairly even
measure Of prosperity.
Now Dame Nature has joined hands
with the evil fate that has logged our in
dustrial and economic life. A strange
blight has spread aerossS the ocean bot
toms. With mysterious force and with
deadly swiftness this strange malady has
killed SO per cent of the yellow, wife, glove
and grass sponges and between 70 and 80
per cent of the sheepswool, the highest
grade of sponge taken in Monroe waters.
For all commercial purposes the sponge
beds in this area are ruined 1t may be
years before the sponging industry can be
revived
What about the 200 Key West sponge
fishermen and their families, numbering in
all approximately 200 persons? 1t does
not take large amount of imagination to
answer that question. The 200 spongers
are out of work. Many businesses that
depended, in some measure upon the sponge
industry have been seriously affected. The
spongers and their families are facing
starvation, according to a survey made by
the Monroe County Fishermen's AssOcia-
ton. A few of these unfortunate men may
find work in other lines. A few may have
sufficient money to keep them going until
the blight disappears and sponges begin
again to multiply healthy growths. A few
may be able to live with relatives. But to
the majority destruction of the sponge beds
means the end of every hope.
Realizing this situation, the Monroe
County Fishermen's Association has ap-
pealed to u. S. Senators Claude Pepper
and c. O. Andrews and Congressman Pat
Cannon for federal aid for the spongers
and their families. 1t is suggested that
perhaps the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
might sponsor project for the propaga-
ton of sponges and employ the Key West
spongers in the work.
This seems to be a reasonable and
sound suggestion. The sponge industry is
important in the nations economic life:
Sponges have many industrial uses for
which no satisfactory substitutes have been
developed 1t would appear that such
project would serve two purposes-give
work to a body of men who need and de-
serve it and provide American industry
with a vital product that will have to be i'm
ported until native sponges again appear
in commercial quantities.

NEUTRALITY LAW FOOLISH

The neutrality laws of the United
States should be amended. The present
mandatory embargo, in the case of war in
volving nations, is absurd. It makes for a
theoretical neutrality that inevitably works
to the advantage of one contender or the
other a.. tsIAy1Et%
In the Spanish war the embargo was
applied, with. disastrous results to the
cause of the Spanish government. In the
clash between China and Japan it has not
been applied because, officially, there is
no war.
In the event of war between Ger
many and Italy, on one side, and Great
Britain and France, on the other, it would
prevent the democracies from securing
materials that might be necessary to their
successful defense
1t looks like the best thing to do
would be to provide for "cash-and-carry"
provision for all materials sold, with
power to place an embargo on sales to any
aggressor nation that violates a treaty
with the United States.
