In spite of the persistent effort
at soaking the so-called rich for the
benefit Of the poor, the rich are a
lot poorer and the poor are no bet
ter off than they ever were Can ii
be the plan is wrong. and that in
stead of soaking the rich they ought
to be encouraged to expand and buy
bigger mills and factories? Isn't il
possible that when the time comes
that the rich are stripped down to
a small income that the incomes OF
all other people will be correspond
ingly smaller? Isn't it possible that
if the workers are to prosper in this
country the management and the
owners are going to have to prosper
in a larger measure? Hasn't it al
ways been so Isn't it possible that
men with the genius Of organiza-
ton and the capacity for big things
and the assuming Of large reSpon-
sibilities when they No rewarded
adequately for it? The man who
can build a great industry that en-
ploys 10000 persons is worth more
salary than any man in the plant
or any hundred men in the plant,
for he Is the force that makes the
whole thing possible. He is Great
ing jobs for 10000 of his fellows,
and the man who has the capacity
for this is deserving Of large re-
turns for it's exercise.

We had personal experience re-
Gently which we think illustrates
well a point. We were passing thru
a town and stopped citizen of the
place to inquire of him some infor-
nation relative to the community.
He said he didn't know and turned
and walked away. At the next town
we made a similar inquiry Of man
IN the street. He too said he did not
know, but knew where he could find

Time was when merchandise could
be sold by storekeeper. AL he had
to do was to put in q stock Of the
kind of merchandise he thought his
customers would come in and ask
for. His selling appeal was limited
to the number of people who vol
UNFAIRLY come to his store and asked
for certain items. There has come
today in place Of the storekeeper
the merchant or merchandiser. The
merchant puts in stock OF new
and up-to-date merchandise and
then instead Of waiting for people
to come into the store and ask for
it he advertises and tells them what
he has. He describes it In such q
way that he creates in the mind OF
the reader a desire for the new
things he has to sell. In many In
stances If he has properly advertised
his new merchandise he has his
customers sold on it before they
reach his store. because he has
shown them through his advertising
its good qualities, its desirability,
and how it would be to their advan-
tage to own it. Unlike the store
keeper his customers are not limited
to the few who may come into his
store. They are made up Of all
those who read his advertising
whether they live one mile or ten
miles from his store. Advertising,
coupled with neutrality-suspicious.
merchandising methods, and good
upJto-date stock, bought right and
priced right, is the only formula for
success in the merchandising field
today, and there are thousands OF
instances all over this country where
this plan IS succeeding and build
ing trade volume for merchants who
use it.

out, and that if we would wait few
minutes he would let us know. He
disappeared around the corner and
was gone several minutes. When ne
returned he had the information we
desired. 1t may seem like little
thing but to a stranger in a town
it is not a little thing It is a splen-
did guesture of good will and hospi-
tally. Though we contacted no otner
individual In the town we left with
a most kindly feeling for the town.
It seemed to us that it was more
friendly and hospitable town than
the first one at which we had stop
ped. We often speak of 1t and re-
member it as such. The other town
we remember as unfriendly and m-
hospitable. The point we wish to
make is that when strangers visit
out town and seek information, their
information, their opinion, their ap-
praisal of the town is formed by how
Hospitality they are treated. II we
tell them we don't know and turn
away they are not going to leave
with a very good impression OF the
town. If we take a friendly interest
and endeavor to secure for them the
information they seek they are go
ing away with the feeling that this
is a good town, a friendly town, q
hospitable town. It creates good Will
for the town far and wide, at no
cost at all.

A town is known as a beautiful
town or an unlovely town from the
manner in which the homes and
business houses are kept up. Max
ing town beautiful is not thing
that is accomplished by an edict.
A town is made beautiful by the in
dividual efforts of the home owner
and the business men. If each bus
mess man looks after his own prem
ises, keeps it up-to-date and at
tractively painted the town will
have an attractive business section.
If each home owner looks to his
premises, keeps the house in repair
and the Town moved, plants trees
and shrubs and cares for them, the
town is going to become known far
and wide as a beautiful town. A town
to be beautiful town does not have
to be a town of modern, costly res
licences and great business blocks. A
street of the smallest residences well
painted, in good repair, and sur
rounded by well kept lawns, appeals
at once to every passer by. It con-
veys a comfortable sense Of thrift
and well being and atmosphere Of
beauty. Not every town can be
thriving metropolis, but every town
can be beautiful. It is up to the in
dividual property owners Of the
town. I i.

EASY LIVING

The incident of the convicts in
a penitentiary going on a sit-down
strike unless they were promised
they might continue to buy silk un-
derwear, was serious. It was also
funny and sort of silly. They also
asked for bedtime bite" along
with the underwear! The idea
sounds like it might be joke but
it brought forth tear gas and ma
chine guns to point the error of
their ways and a new warden was
appointed to let the prisoners know
that after all penitentiary is not a
boudoir. Folks in Kennewick who
can't afford silk underwear feel that
a state institution should not favor
criminals with luxuries the citizen
himself cannot buy.

No one likes to hear man knock
or run down his town or the people
in it. Whenever we hear such q
person our fist impulse is to move
out of range of his voice. Without
exception the mental response is If
you don't like this town and the
person our first Impulse IS to move
out Of it?" It is q mighty poor town
that does not have something IN It
of which its citizens can speak well.
# it doesn't then the citizens OF the
town have the plain job cut out for
them of changing things and I'M
proving conditions until there Is
something that every one can praise
and of which they can speak well.

Outlook now is that little or moth

change the 1910 law-congress is
watching the calendar, is sick OF
Washington, and is eager to get
home to the vital work of political

much more of it, though the pos
sibility of additional widespread

likely.

Broiling Fish

Broiled fish is difficult to remove
from broiler without breaking. A
piece of parchment paper cut just
the shape Of fish, may be creased
and placed under each slice. The
fish will broil all the way through
without turning. Remove parchment
upon serving.

Be an optimist. Look on the
bright side of things. Believe that
there are better things ahead and
that next year will be better than
this year. Such philosophy will
not only help the individual who
possesses it but it will help every
one with whom he comes in con-
tact. Down in his heart every per-
son likes and seeks the person who
builds him up and fills him with a
more hopeful attitude. He feels
better for having met and visited
with him. After such a visit his owl,
burdens seem less heavy and less
discouraging.

PENSION MAN DOWNEY E NOW TAKING ON ALL FOES;
 HISWAY0F CAMPAIGNING
Ky PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March g. 1t would take high odds to get bet that any one of the evolutionary pension plans would get through this session but no buster band of opera tors can be found on Capitol Hill than the pension advocates in Con gress.
 Take Senator Sheridan Downey of California, as an instance He was buster than brush salesman the other day about the floor of the Senate. One minute he was on one side of the chamber talking to Sen- ator Bankhead Almost any one knows that Bankhead couldn't be sold on Downey's old-age pension scheme. but the Californian never gives up. Bankhead ultimately re- tired, with good natured laugh, to the cloak room.
 Within five minutes DoWney was chatting with youngish Sena- tor Clark of Idaho. Clark survived a Townsend attack in Idaho last year to unseat Senator Pope, New Deal CT, who moved from his $10.000 Sen- ate place to Sl2,000 post on the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 Downey is a closeup talker. He edges his chair over and sort of half whispers. even when there is no special need for it. It isn't that he is a secretive sort. He is just a mildish man in outward conduct, on the order of Senator Sheppard of Texas who fought for 20 years to put across prohibition and has been fighting in his quiet way ever since repeal to have prohibition re- stored.

U. s. FUNDS NEEDED

WASHINGTON. March 8.--Secre- tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes be- lieves it is high time that Govern- ment funds be spent for forest fire protection in Alaska.
 The Secretary voiced this opinion in hearings before the House Appro- priations Committee in a discussion of Alaska needs and is disclosed in a published report.
 Secretary Ickes said: There is 8 growing resentment among citizens in Alaska against the Department of Interior for not protecting the timber on the public domains from fires. Often villages are threatened by the blazes.
 "The Budget Bureau has declined to approve expenditures for this work"
 Asks for Funds
 The Secretary of Interior hinted that he will be pleased if the Ap- propriations Committee took the matter into it's own hands and ask Congress to provide funds either for this year or some future date.
 The House Appropriations Con- mittee also disclosed that Secretary Ickes has given orders to eject the lazy and discontented colonists at Matanuska.
 Ship Elm Out
 This was revealed when the In- terior Secretary, replying to ques- tion by Representative Johnson, said that during his recent visit to the Matanuska Colony he found some people there who were dis inclined to work. When the matter came to me, I told them the Colony Supervisors would lose no time in shipping them out"
 Representative Johnson said: T observed that some of them thought they were going up there for a lark and Santa Clause would take care of them"
 Secretary Ickes said, "Yes." ad- ding that generally the colony ex- pertinent was entirely successful. He further said the Matanuska project should lead the way for further development of Alaska.
 "The Matanuska Colony has showed the Territory is capable of further agricultural development in certain valleys" said Secretary Ickes.

CHANGES PLAN A LITTLE

Downey's arguments now are very much the same he used out in Cali fornia to whip Senator McAdoo. (Theres another who lost $1000O a year job, only to get something better as head of the reorganized Dollar steamship lines)
 Downey's original theme song was '$30 Every Thursday He has modified it somewhat now to $l00 a month for people over 60 years, just half what the Town sendites offer. But he has attach ments to his plan. He would pay, say, $50 month to people over 50 years.
 His whole idea is to discourage so much saving, which he calls the bane of the country. He says the population saves something near 15 percent of. it's earnings year in and year out. Such savings can't be spent for productive enterprises in times of surplus and cause a low demand for goods. His idea is that old people assured of a retirement fun d wouldn't save for old age, thus elim- mating some savings, anyway.
 Further, he says paying $30 to 50-year-olds would discourage them from saving so much for old age, so some more savings would be disposed of.

 Ruling Protest

Bitter hostility between Senators Norman R. Walker and Victor c. Rivers flared on the Senate floor late yesterday afternoon when the Fairbanks solon was roundly de- nounced by the President.
 This, the tensest situation of the session, arose during reconsidera- ton of the Senate vote on the fish trap memorial
 When Rivers objected to a ruling of the chair, Walker left the rostrum to deliver an excoriating reprimand to the Fairbanks Senator, who took the verbal tongue flashing with ap- parent calm.
 After eight weeks on the Senate Judiciary Committee" President Walker cried, "the senior Senator from the Fourth Division thinks he is qualified to be a justice on the United States Supreme Court. He alone of us never makes mistake I am humble enough to admit I have made mistake"
 Out of Order
