176 HURTS FARMERS,
says Apple Crower

E. G. Kenney, Otis Orchards, Spo-
kane, states: 81 don't know why
welfare should be used against the
farmer but that's what Initiative
176 does. 1t says the state can go
anywhere in the country and buy
up surplus foods-eggs and wheat
and other things we farmers raise
right here in Washington-and
then give them away for relief in
addition to all the welfare money
we're spending already. l think we
should have a little better control
of our assistance program like they
call for in Initiative 178 and not
give away the state and the farm
er's chance to make a fair living
like they do in 49,"

Rates will be lower than otherwise would be the case,
in that substantial savings will be effected as the two

considerably lower than in Seattle.

Way to Deal With Tight-Fisted Husband
Is to Try to Avoid Gettinq One

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My
problem is what to do with a
stingy husband. I am married to
a man who is rich for the COM
munity in which we live, but I do
all my own housework and pinch
every penny. My husband refuses
to make me an allowance and
buys for me himself only the
plainest necessities in the way of
clothes. In all the years that ]
have been married I have never
had a dollar that I could do with
as I pleased. I have never had a
pretty dress or hat or any of the
little luxuries that women crave
do not try to have any women
friends or to go anywhere because
I am so Inundated by not having
the proper clothes and not being
able to pay my part of the ex-
penses. What can you do with
that kind of a man? MRS. S.
Answer: Not much, I am afraid
because a man who loves money

Capt. Strauss, who is attached

against attack, it should have a
force of sufficient size to be a
deterrant."

to be so expensive" Capt. Strauss
declared, "but it's not half as ex-
pensive as the disaster we hope
won't overtake U.S."

not make policy; we are only the
instruments to carry out the pol
ICY" he said. "You civilians elect
or remove the officials that de-
eide how much money should be
spent for national defense"
