THE MASON .... COUNTYJOURNAL GRNT ANGLE &amp; SONS, ,PUblishers ' . ) Mtmmber of WashingtO StateIle em and Washington Newspaper Associations IDntered aS second-lasB matter fat the postoffice at Shelton. Washington " Published VerY Friday morning. Subscription: Domestic $2 per year. Foreign, $2.50 tn advance (All papers dtmcontinued one month after delinquency) --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.

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.
