All through the agricultural mid
die west the water level in the soil
is getting lower and lower. Wells
and springs that never before failed
are going dry. The condition is brot
about by the fact that man has
Strengthened streams, drained ponds,
cut off the timber ana plowed up
the sod. To correct 1t man is going
to have to restore the timber, put
more of the country back to grass
and build large ponds and lakes.
There is no chance for subsoil mois-
ture when it is drained off too rap
idly to allow it to penetrate the
soil. Man cannot change natures
plan without reaping the result
some place along the line.

One of the faults with the federal
aid program is that many worthy
and worthwhile people in every
community do not receive aid. They
will exhaust every possible resource
before they ask for help from the
government or county. On the other
hand many less deserving and less
worthwhile rush is without hest
fancy and unashamed asked the full
limit of assistance, and clamor for
more.

Something OF a precedent was set
this week when the commissioners
appointed Mrs. Hughes to fill the
unexpired term to which her hus-
band had been elected. No other
woman has held the position as
county commissioner in this state,
so far us we have been able to
learn. We have no doubt but that
the action of the board will work
out satisfactorily. Inasmuch as
plans for the years work have al
ready been worked out and on rec
ord, and the board is willing to fol-
low them out, the job should not
prove too difficult for her. We think
the move was good one from every
angle.

There is a fortune for some one
who discovers a use for old auto
mobile tires. The item made from
them should be thing of general
use and the conversion cost should
be small. With these two condi-
lions met every junk yard in the
country holds a gold mine for the
enterprising individual who makes
the discovery. Here Is q chance for
q young man to build q fortune. Be-
lieve it or not some one is going to
make that discovery one of these
days. It will be so simple every
one will wonder why it wasn't dis
covered before.

The Hull trade agreements have
been extended for another three
years. They will probably be made
one of the major issues of the COM
ing campaign. The trade agree
ments are vital issue, far reach
ing in their Importance, and should
not be made football of politics.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that In
the heat of the campaign neither
side will depart from the full truth
and the exact facts of the issue in
volved. To misrepresent such an is
sue for the sake of political gain is
demagogery of the basest type.

The Indians, before the coming
OF the white man, never heard Of
Social Security, unemployment in
surance. old age pensions, and old
age assistance, but the Indians have
a way Of taking care of their needy
without all this confusing detail,
without welfare organizations and
poor houses. Each family took care
OF its own needy. There was no in
tensive and expensive organization,
no confusing records, no overhead.
The Jones family took care Of the
Jones and the Smith of the Smiths.

A reader of this paper received
a letter from relative in western
Kansas. Out in that section, ac-
cording to the letter, the wind blows
every day. Some days it blows so
hard that it is impossible to work
in the field. One ingenious farmer
rugged up wind gauge that the
boys know when to 60 out into the
field to work and when to stay IN
the house. He hung a long chain
on the cave Of the barn. When the
wind blows the heavy log chain
straight out it is sign that it is
too windy to work.

There is a lot of clamor that taxes
be reduced, but if a man elected to
office proceeds to reduce expenses
by abolishing jobs and reducing
salaries he Is condemned more bit
terly than tax waster is ever con-
demned. The public wants taxes
reduced, but at the same time it
wants salaries increased and more
persons given political jobs.

REAL COOPERATION


40-hour weeks, hiring halls, such
the product of our complex labo
situation as it exists in most indus
trial and shipping centers. Contras
these with a labor situation that 70,
can now actually find in our owl
community, and almost any othe
similar community. Here is how j
works:
John Jones needs new COW Shel
built on his farm. His neighbor i
Henry Smith, who is also his bro
ther-in-law. Close by lives Pet,
Miller, who is Johns Wife's cousin
Also near by lives Oscar Warren
who is just good neighbor. Henr.
hears about the prospective COW
shed and casually mentions it tt
Pete, who in turn, during one o.
their chats, tells Oscar. John die
Pete good turn when Pete's little
boy was injured in an accident or
the farm, so the next time Pete sees
John he comments on the prospect
OF John having his much needed
cow-shed. Johns comment is that
he has the material bought, but un-
d IA LAC SoAA SC14 oO1lAC AlO1C 1dA4 HOUd-
toes, he can't hire the carpenters to
do the building, so will try to do
it himself as he can spare time from
his regular farm work.
Things happen rapidly and one
evening Pete calls John on the
phone and asks if he can help him
work on his cow-shed, as he Is
caught up on his work, and can con-
veniently spare the time. "Sure,"
says John, "but can't pay you for
the work for some time" 81 don't
expect pay" said Pete, II just don't
like this having nothing to do"
That is an exaggeration! Next morn
ing Pete, Oscar and Henry show up
at Johns farm with their hammers,
saws and squares, and in a few days
there is a new cow-shed, and a very
happy farmer, one John Jones by
name. l-.- ..-- .-. "
When does Pete get his pay? In
money, never. But before the winter
is over Pete has his well that start
ed to cave in properly curbed;
Henry has new hay derrick built;
Oscar has his new shed built for
housing his new tractor and its at
tachments. No money has changed
hands, no disputes have arisen over
how many hours they should work,
no estimate was made of the money
value Of any of the services per-
formed. What actually happened,
John tried to repay, with little ex-
ira work thrown in, what Pete had
done for him; Pete did the same
for the other three; Henry the same
and likewise Oscar.
What did these men get for their
work? New structures, it is true, but
the thing that will stick with each
of them is the satisfaction Of con-
tributing to the well-being Of their
nearest neighbors and closest
friends, with whom their destiny
will necessarily be closely linked.
The next time you see your neigh
Dor trying to do q job that would
be lghtened many fold with your
assistance, offer to help him. When
it Is finished, don't try to estimate
its value to him or yourself in man
made calculations of dollars and
cents. Just sit back in your favor
tie chair and glow. You have Just
done the greatest job life can Of
fer you, and you have in your hand
clutched small piece that most
yet valueless commodity
SATISFACTION.

INITIATIVE 1879

Before the open season on initia-
tives ends in this state next July 5
/ considerable number of goofy pro-
posalS is sure to be filed with the
secretary of state, the crackpot quo
tient in Washington being what in
is.
Care, therefore, should be exer-
ciSed before endorsing petitions and
serious thought should be given to
proposals placed on ballots before
you approve or reject them.
If you will study Initiative 139
you will see that its purpose is to
permit residents to have more au-
thority in the formation and oper-
alton of public utility districts,
which is entirely proper.
One of the criticisms of the meth
cd Of PUD organization heard most
frequently is that the three COM
miSSiOners are vested with too much
power. The commissioners may be
as honest as Abraham Lincoln, but
don't know the difference between a.
kiloWatt hour and a circuit breaker.
They also may have little knowledge
of property values, of the intricate
workings OF the bond market.
Voters Approval Required
If No. 139 becomes law, the ap-
proval of voters in any public util-
ity district organized in Washington
state shall be required for the auth
orization of any bonds or securities
or other financial obligations to be
issued for the purpose of financing
the acquisition of property for use
in supplying public utility service.
Too, voters approval is required for
the authorization of the proposed
plan or system for acquiring and
using property. Ia
If the Commissioners of any pub
lie utility district think it advisable
to acquire property for supplying
service, and financial obligations
must be incurred, then the commits
sioners must submit to voters at q
general or special election reso-
luton specifying exactly what the
whole scheme means. Voters then
may decide for themselves whether
they want to reject or approve the
resolution. : /. ".
Majority Will Rule
A resolution will become effective
only after it shall have been ap-
proved by the qualified voters Of
he district by majority vote or by
such greater percentage vote as may
De required by the constitution.
Section of Initiative 139 makes
t clear that the act shall in no
way interfere with any work already
lone by a PUD. Don't forget that.
Even the ardent proponents of
public utility districts wholeheart-
dly recommend the approval of In
tiative 100.
The measures Incorporation in the |
avs of the state of Washington will |
trengthen defective spot in the |
resent provisions for PUD organi-
alton, will lessen opportunities for
riticism. Approval of the proposal
nil diminish possibilities of costly
lunders.
If residents of the state of WASH
1gton want to form public utility
istricts, they should be entitled to
he right to express opinions as to
ow their own money should be
pent. Initiative 139 will help give
ne management of public affairs
ack to the people where, contrary
} a tenent now popular in the
district Of Columbia, it belongs.
