PAYROLL TAKES ALREADY HEAVY
l
i'
,- One of the measures passed by the last leg—
gislature would increase the industrial insurance
gawards, including those pending, about fifty per
Ecent, which would increase the payroll taxes for
iindustry in the same proportion; and it is doubt-l
'ful if industry can carry the rapidly increasing
fstate and federal tax burden without a reaction
iwhich would be serious to labor.
i The latest news is that a referendum will be
{filed if some 30,000 signatures can be obtained,
iwhich would defer the increases until after a vote
'in the general election of 1942; and in View of the
fact that under the present law and rates a re-
iserve has been set up to guarantee the payment
gof some thirteen million dollars in awards and
pensions already closed, an idea of the magm-
itude of the payroll taxes may be gained.

Sewing Projects
Geared Up To Aid
Nationil Defense
Sewing projects under the di-
rection of the Work Projects Ad—
ministration, are being geared to
perform additional services that
might be required to speed up na-
tional defense and to meet any
national emergency, according to
Assistant Commissioner Florence
Kerr, Washington, D. C.
There are three sewing pro—
jects in Pierce County, two each
in Grays Harbor and Thurston,
‘and one in Mason.
Millions of yards of material
are utilized by sewing projects
throughout the nation to the ben-
efit of textile industries. Surplus
quantities of wool, sheepskin and
leather
garments.
Textile concerns are drawing
on this vast reservoir of skilled
garment workers in order to in-
crease their forces and produce
new equipment necessary for na-
tional defense.

i SPRUCE FOR PLANE BUILDING
_,_1__._ 1* 1.. .._-_ 1
Two stories of interest in the news of the day
promise to become important to the industrial
development not only for the more emergent war
needs but for the future economic purposes and
the building of new industries in this region.
aged for a common purpose, the building of air~
planes, although a hundred other uses are possi-
ble; one is the use of spruce timber for building
of light training planes, the other the develop-
ment of phenol rosins to make plywood fit for
planes.
:more planes, and the promised shortage of light
[strong metals now used, it is wondered that at-
étention has not been turned back to spruce for
:light planes and blades which proved their value
. gin speeding planes for‘the World War needs.
A
I
, There is still an abundance of spruce timber
gin the Olympics, and plywood is becoming the
great building factor in replacing and conserving
inew and large industry for the future of this im-
imediate region, of which- Shelton is a center.
After the demand for the present war is over
ialmost as many of our people as those now mov-
iing in automobiles will be taking to the air, in the
Etravel, and our young people be demanding light
I planes for pleasure and business, making this a
igreat industry.

! LOST TIME WILL COST LIVES
} Now that this country is getting into full
ispeed on its war preparedness and demanding
{that industry and labor stop all foolishness and
join hands in united effort to produce all and
leverything needed, the people are beginning to
:realize that lost time now means lost lives later
i on.
President Roosevelt is also taking tardy n0-
tice of the fact that Communists are at the bot-
itom of many if not most of the big strikes going
’on over the country, intended to disrupt industry
and delay war work; and nearer home the same
element is coming to the front in the Boeing Air-
plane factory at Seattle.

MOVING TO THE WESTWARD
The Northwest and particularly Puget Sound
18 due for another of the early day booms which
brought the first boost to population and indus-
try and business in this region, a necessary se-
quence to the huge public spending and building
program which attracts and will leave many new-
lcomers here.
This boost will be felt in every city and town
Iand there Will be a new era of expansion in every
direction to take care of the influx of people, as
well as of new industries which have been dor.
mant or held back for a decade awaiting more
propitious times and conditions to bring them
into life. " ‘
’ True, this is more or less frothy and tempor-
ary, unless the boost is taken advantage of along
more permanent lines; there are fields for new
industry, particularly along the lines of mining
land development of light-metals, as well as in
manufacture of new products of science' therein
lies opportunity for future progress.
