--7 FEDERAL AID COSTLY
While an appropriation of a couple hundred millions
by Congress for road building over the nation may leo
big to the average citizen a writer points out how sma
such a figure is when judged by the immense land hold-
ings of the government, particularly in the Western
states. In comparison with the amounts that the states
and even the individual taxpayers contribute directly for
road:building purposes it is a mere bagatelle, and in
many instances where such aid is given it is often of
doubtful value. In Washington the government still holds
title to 31.7 of its landed area, and much larger holdings
in the other western states.
Because of requirements and rather arbitrary rules
connected with the securing of federal aid and heavy pre-
liminary costs, it is rather costly to secure federal aid,
and sometimes practically eats up the fifty per cent which
the government will give. Mason County's paving im-
provement was originally started under promise of fed-
eral aid, and its highway changes have taken some $80,-
000 of the county bond funds. The present program is
being carried out by the state with no demand on the
county, but unless Congress makes new appropriations
there will be no federal aid:
Roads, roads, has been the cry ever since the second
settler came to this country, and they have never been
able to keep up with the march of progress. Only when
the main highways are finally paved will our road
troubles be ended, let us hope for at least a decade, and
attention can be turned to--other roads.
STOPS BORING FROM WITHIN
Reports from various parts of the country indicate
that the Nonpartisan league is not dead and not even
sleeping.
A new,manager of the National Non-Partisan league
of Washington has arrived ' in Spokane to take charge o
headquarters and a state league convention is to be held
m that city the latter part of May.
The league is prepai'ing to' fight the,new primary
law relating to party affiliation and the convention meas-
ure passed by the!egislature making it a law hat-a :can-
didate must have been affiliated with a recognized party
or two years: .... ..............................
The league alleges that ,the pprpose of these two
measures is to kill the fai, mer laboi party by keeping it
off the ballot.
This is not the case; it means that theNonpartisan
league or any other political Organization will have to fly
under its oh colors instead of slipping their candidates
into office.under the banner of some other established
uolitical party. This has been a league practice from the
• beginning and is just another method of :'boring from
within" ychch has been employed by radical and near
• radical orgariizations in an effort to disrupt political and
industrial stability.
Every society or organization has its good points,
none are wholly bad, but most of them are either one-
sided or lop-sided. The perfect one, like the perfect in-
dividual: is quite rare, if not impossible.
• " PROSPERITY
. - t • t * ,
One hundred and ten ,mllhOn people, m thin country
have to.-:edt sheltered and clothed. The consumption Of
food is conEtant; there is a limifLto the length of time
clothes can be worn; some new shelters must be built;
necessities and luxuries must be supplied. - '
The hundred and ten million :have not been buying
for the past several months as they should; some because
they cou:ld not, bthers:hecause they:would npt. But this
sort of thing cannot go on indefinitely.
Farm life, in which a third of our. population is en-
gaged, is showing renewed life now with the putting in
of the crops. Those crops are going to be bought and
consumed, and the farmer is going to make a profit.
Business is going to be resumed and those who are
making the concessions demanded and who are doing
everything to boost business along are helping themselves
along to immediate prosperity.
The trouble with most reformers is that they set out
to make over the world first and leave the weeding job
on themselves until last.

STAYING WITH THE SHIP
The lumber and logging industry, the largest em-
ployer of labor in the west, has been struggling against
almost impossible odds of depressed conditions, restricted
construction activity due to high labor and general mate-
rial costs and increased freight rates which cut off a
large part of its business in competitive eastern markets,
in spite of the fact that lumber is down practically to old
prices.
The skys are beginning to clear slowly, however, as
labor sees necessity of receding from wartime demands
and cooperating with industry.
There are indications of a substantial re-adjustment
in railroad operating expenses and regulations with con-
sequent reductions in other costs right down the line.
Labor, industry and transportation must pull to-
gether in order that all may eat.
/
A good stiff immigration law would be a good thing
for Europe as well as America. The trash from the old
countries we do not desire and the decent element of
Europeans ought to stay at home and help clean up their
, own countries, instead of escaping the responsibility by
migratingto America.. ..... ........... : ..... ,_ .o.

engines of war destroyed them in
spots. No mud, no ruts or holes, no,
dscomfort of any kind.
America is a Croesus in wealth
compared with any of these coun-
tries yet our traveled highway are
a perpetual disgrace to our intelli-
gence.
We, spehd billions and billions in
useless governmental, state and per:
sona extravagance) but are not suf-
ficiently far sighted tO place our pub-
lic thorcrghfares in even third-rate
condition.
We have the wealth, the materials
and the labor necessary to make our
roads the best in the world, but ap-
parently we are too parsimonious or
indifferent to interest ourselves in
this necessary worL
If we lay down a few isolated miles,
of concrete or macadam we are satis-
fied, and let it go at that.
We simply can't bring Ourselves to
the point of energetic road construc-
tion.
Rich ir all other ways, we seem to
be destitute of the one essential that
is more Vital to our common good
than any other.
Foreigners comingto this 'country
marvel at our slackness in this re-
spect. They cannot understand how
we can be satisfied with sloshing
around in the mud as we do, They
wonder that we are able to climb out
of the ruts andS'find our way back to
our homes again.
There is no excuse for this condi-
tion, but the fault lies with the citi-
zen as much as with the public offi-
cial. As a rule. officialdom supplies
only what 'citizenry demands.
As spring opens hundreds of thous-
ands of nien should be at work on
the public roads of this country.
they are not. Thei:e' is much
more grumbling, unlimited inactivity
and then forgetfulness in the joys of
the latest sensation.
Such" i' :the reputation we have
earned in 'rOad c°nstructi°n"
