PULSE OF THE
PUBLIC
MUST GET BACK
TO AMERICAN WAY

Editor, The Times: In previous
letters l tried to show that there
is not a sound reason for a con-
tinual conflict between labor and
capital, because the laboring
people, including farmers, are
also the employers customers.
and If business, as a whole,
tries TO cheat their custom
ers out of the means TO pur-
chase the national production Of
goods and services, the business
men in general will suffer be-
cause they thereby destroy their
businesses.
There exists, however, more
grounds for animosity between
one line of business and some
other line because they are in
competition with each other for
the consumers dollar and prof
its. If one line of business can,
by monopolistic price fixing, get
higher profits, il is at the ex-
pense of all other business and
people.
This is also true of one group
of workers and another. They
are also in competition with each
other group for jobs and higher
wages. Today we find in some
lines of business a combination
of union employees, employers,
and the government trying to
fleece the helpless consumers
who must pay the excessive
prices for the goods.
Business, as whole, can ex-
tract only a limited profit on the
total goods and services sold. II
they take more profits than can
be used for business expansion
the profit money will not cir
culate.
This causes unemployment and
a reduction of consumer buying
power In that case prices of
goods should be reduced to the
point where more goods will
sell. The sale of more goods
will create more employment
and more need for business ex-
psnsion. I may be dumb. for I
cannot see how we can expect
business expansion until the con-
sumers' income will reach fur
Their and buy more goods. Can
you really expect the idle capital
10 venture into business when
the old established businesses
can run only at about so per
cent capacity?
We must get back to the
American way of doing things.
Business. as a whole. or labor,
as whole. cannot get more by
less effort. Only more produc-
ton of goods and services will
give US, as q whole. higher liv-
ing standards.

The Columbian was a very un-
usual publication, judged by pres
ent newspaper standards, both in
methods of handling the news and
the character of the advertise
ments. This advertisement by
Weed & Hurd, operating general
provision store at Olympia, shows
something OF the manner in which
the territorial business men ap.
pealed to their customers:
Beef Eaters. Alloy. Bread
Consumers Look This way.

hint in the most respectful
and delicate manner that the
unavoidable force Of circum-
stances has brought ms TO the
following conclusions, to-wit:
l. We have to pay money
for beef.

chase wheat and flour.
s. For the purchase of po-
tatoes and onions and other

dough up and no mistake.

/ A CCIDENTALLY named for the
"A first president of the United
States and the only state to bear
the name of a president, Washing
ton has a colorful historical back
ground which fully justifies the
weeks celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of statehood Even
though some of the incidents have
been mentioned before. the inter-
esting story Of how Washington
became a state ties in with the
weeks celebration and the three
nights Of historical review.
The movement TO organize that
part of the Oregon country
north of the Columbia river as
separate territory had its incep-
ton in 1s4s. Settlers north of the
river were dissatisfied with the
| ddiilAhasAi dilOu vi bnt Nti ioA
government. The majority of the
voters were south of the river.
Politicians and public officials then
were human just as they are to-
day. They knew on which side
their bread was buttered. They
played ball with the crowd that
had the most votes.
II settler in Pierce county, for
instance, had business with a ter
ritorial officer, he might have to
60 to Portland or Oregon City to
find him. He would travel on
horseback to the head of naviga-
ton on the Cowlitz river, paddle
down the stream in a canoe, and
cross the Columbia river by what
ever means there happened to be
available.
Then, arriving at his des-
tination, he might find that
the particular officer with
whom he had business was off
on a hunting trip. Nobody
could tell when he would be
back. The settler from Pierce
county could sit down and
wait indefinitely or he could
return home without transac-
ting his business after wasting
about three weeks time going
and coming. IL was very
provoking to say the least.
1ncipient revolts broke out here
and there but 1t was not until July
4, 1851, that any definite action
was taken. At the 4th of July
celebration at Olympia that year,
John Chapman of Steilacoom, ora
tor of the day, made an impas-
stoned plea for home rule for the
people north of the river. He
talked SO effectively that a COM
mittee was organized TO call a
convention the next November at
Cowlitz Landing, now Toledo, to
take steps to organize a territory.
The Cowlitz Landing convention
prepared a memorial to congress
asking that the northern part of
Oregon be made a separate terri
tory. The petition was sent TO
congress by Gen. Joe Lane. terri
torial delegate from Oregon terri
tory. Months passed and nothing
was heard from the petition.
The next 4th of July, at another
celebration at Olympia, Daniel r.
Bigelow, orator of the day. also
made speech urging the people
to demand their rights. As on the
previous occasion. a committee
was appointed to hold another con-
vention the following November at
Monticello, now Longview. An
other and stronger petition was
prepared and sent to congress.
In the meantime there had been
established at Olympia the first
newspaper north of the Columbia
river-The Columbian, published,
as the mast head announced. at
Olympia, Puget's Sound, Oregon
territory. The first issue. Sept.
