DO AMERICANS DESERVE PUNISHMENT?
While the public has not yet discovered whatl
the many government agencies, under dlrect or-;
ders of the President, are doing to the domestic
economy of the nation under the guise of “dc—g
fense” needs, business and manufacturers every-
where are up against the real thing in the effort,
to provide the raw materials and supplies to car-
ry on business.
What has happened is that every new board
and commission alleged to be working out the
new national economy, and every man With a.
“screwy” idea called to Washington to direct;
these groups, has issued new orders with every
new day commandeering everything of citizeni
need and piling up a great war supply for years‘
ahead, robbing the people of today. l
Instances of enforced scarcity for public.
needs are multiplying and becoming public every
day of foolish quantity buying and repeating the
huge wastes of the World War when surplus sup-
plies were given away when the war ended or left 5 good oysters 0,,

inequity of much of this “priority” stuff they
may begin to investigate.
One of the great shortages just touching c1v-]
ilian life is in paper, which the government 15
buying up by whole mills far beyond emergent
needs and piling it away! for instance there is al-,
ready a shortage of toilet paper yet there is no'
question of capacity to take care of the needs of
the army and navy boys as they did in civil life,
and still have plenty left to keep the civilians
clean. .
If priorities are going to rob all domestic
business of its needs in this rich country with
its resources and production, boundless if not
hampered, the result will be less business and
employment reflected on all in the community,
higher prices due to shortage, less money to
spend and to give for public calls and less incomes
to pay the government toward its huge orgy of
spending. Punishing the people needlessly does
not build morale.
WHAT AUTOMOBILE RESTRICTION MEANS
The arbitrary cutting of automobile produc-v
tion in half or more means more to the life and
morale of the American people than might appear
at first glance, and has far reaching effects on
their prosperity and well-being and the national;
economy. '
To limit production of cars for private use
means cutting of several million jobs, at least un-
til the plants can be geared to war production of
trucks and tanks which takes time, and makes for
unemployment until full production can be reach-4
ed.
Fewer automobiles means higher prices and
less railroad cars, althOugh this is taken up by
increased war shipment, but the real harm comes
When the thousands of dealers have nothing to
Sell, must cut down employment and disrupt their
business, and add needless hardship.
Now that workers in industry, whether war
or private, have largely made homes outside the
cities and towns they can no longer walk to Work
as in earlier years they were forced to, and the
automobile has become a necessity and car sales
meana considerable community business. .
Thus millions of workers as well as private
citizens who need cars and are potential buyers of
new cars, are going to suffer needless hardship
in many ways, the resulting disturbance of hay
tional economy will not only have, its immediate
bad effects but its bad after effects. ,
It goes without saying that all people are
Willing to make their sacrifices when these are
universal and the government enforces its rules
to increase production for the needs of war and
defense, 'to check needless inflation of prices, and
stop the strikes in war industries which offset the ,
urgent speeding of production.

Big Damage Suit
Against Pulp Cal
The Pioneer Oyster Company
lost its $1,780,000 suit against thel
in Mason County (outside of Shelton city mail carrier districts) i Puget
Sound Pulp & Timber CO., I
when Federal Judge John C. Bow-
llanded down on September
29th a decision holding that im-
: proper planting and not chem- ‘
‘lcal waste is responsible for con-
:ditions in the extensive oyster
findings in the case are quoted
‘ below:
1. It must bc concluded from
the testimony of the oystermen
and others and from what the
Itrial judge observed on the beds:
that the plaintiff's oysters, usually
planted 40 to 60 boxes of seed
per acre (and more on some beds),
were except some south end beds
generally planted too thick, and
that throughout the beds gener-
ally are oysters in the original
seed clusters not broken up as:
they should have been, as well
as other oysters drifted together
on level surfaces and .collected in'
pot holes by wind and wave ac-
tion and not scattered in accord-
ance with good cultivation, with
the result that through crowding
and consequent lack of food sup-1
ply the oysters have not been able
to develop and fatten into mar-
ketable condition. That conclus-
ion is strongly indicated by tes-
timony that in more recent years,
in localities other than Padilla
Bay, the growers have been re-
ducing their seed plantings to ap-
proximately 20 to 25 boxes per
acre, with definitely better re-
sults. There are, however, some
notably on the periphery of the
become scattered,.as well as on
some south end beds not
thickly planted.
2. It is preponderantly estab-
lished by the greater weight of
the evidence that the water from
Bellingham Bay does not normally
go into Padilla Bay, but that the
water goes out of and into Bell-
ingham Bay through the passages
to and from Rosario Straits of
Georgia without passmg through
Padilla Bay. Likewise, it is es-
tablished that the waters of Fidal-
go Bay and Anacortes Harbor do
not normally go into Padilla Bay,
but that those waters go out of
and into Fidalgo Bay and Ana.-
cortes Harbor through Guemes
Channel and the northward tidal
currents around Guemes Island.
with some water from the inward
tidal passage through Guemes
Channel going between Hat and
Guemes islands into the north end
of Padilla Bay: that the south
end of Padilla Bay is filled prin—
cipally through Swinomish Slough
which flows northward more of
the time than it does southward:
and that it is only on exceptional
occasions of severe wind that
drift wood and logs are driven'
acrossthe normal tidal currents
into Padilla Bay from Bellingham
Bay and Anacortes Harbor. From
this situation and the testimony
of absence of pulp liquor in Padil-
la Bay, and in the absence
more convincing proof to the
contrary. it is concluded that the{
waste sulphite pulp liquor and fi—
bcr from defendant‘s Bellingham
and Anacortes mills don‘t reach
the waters over plaintiff's oyster
beds in adilla Bay in quantities
sufficient to injure plaintiff’s oys-
ters, although insignificant
amounts of such liquor and fiber
may conceivably on exceptional
occasions of severe wind be driven
across normal currents into Padil-
la Bay, as drift wood and logs
are on such exceptional occasions
so driven.
3. After careful consideration of
all the testimony and exhibits in
the case, the credibility of i the
many Witnesses and the weight
of the testimony of each, all that
the trial judge saw upon the view
by him of the things and condi-
tions connected with the trial. and
the briefs and arguments of coun-
sel. the court is of the opinion,
and finds and decides, that plain-
tiff has failed to sustain its bur-
den of proof. and that there is a
failure of necessary proof on plain-
tiff's part in that plaintiff has
not by a preponderance of the
cvidcncc established either (1)
that plaintiff’s oysters have been
or will be injured by defendant’s
pulp liquor or fiber, or (2) that
there has been or will be preEEmt
in the water over plaintiff’s oys-
ter beds sufficient quantities of
such liquor or fiber to injure plain-
tiff's oysters. Plaintiff, therefore.
is not entitled to recover any re-
lief against defendant:
The foregoing sufficiently dis-
poses of the matter and renders
unnecessary further rulings upon
defendant’s separate affirmative
defenses.
Formal findings. conclusions and
decree may be settled upon notice
or stipulation.
