HIGH TAXATION
A great many people are inconsistent in their atti-
tude of condemnation of the high tax rate. In many
cases it will be found that those who are complaining the
loudest are allied with some gl'oup or organization who
are constantly bringing pressure to bear to secure added
governmental activities or certain class benefit. This
same situation endures in state governments and includes
even the smallest ax levying unit. People do not seem to
understand that such demands and expectations only
serve to bring about added appropriations for new gov-
ernmental activities and functions.
There is a limit to governmental activities; govern-
ment shold not be hampered in-a niggardly manner, but
it should not be allowed to run outside its field and waste
public funds in the effort to satisfy •class demands.
The gover2ment is ours; it will in a great, measure
reflect public attitude and mood. If the public mood is
one of economy, thrift and common sense, government is
bound to reflect it. Our government will be just what we
want it to be. Just now it is reflecting a past national
mood of waste, extravagance and recklessness. Today
the public mood is for thrift and the government is going
to react to that mood if the public demands it.--Industrial
Review.
We all seem a little sluggish these days and won't
"steam up" until we get the summer vacation out of our
systems.
CARING FOR DEPOSITORS
It will be good news to its depositors as well as the
public generally that arrangements have been perfected
to reorganize the Seattle Scan dinavian-Amexican Bank
and work out its obligations through conserving its own
securities, aided by sufficient cash to cover:)ts smaller and
iniinediate claims. This is to be done by the associated
state guaranty ba!k,bu without disturbinge guaran-
ty!fund. The rep,S:of depositors will extend over a
year but they wil!::mothing. The :: uther ;banks/ have

Shklton kindly and winks at the min-
or, infractions, but there is such a thing as imposing on
good nature, as well as increasing the hazard of life.
FUTURE LIES IN FARMING
The large attendance at the recent demonstration of
power farming utilities indicates a healthy interest by
the farmers and public generally in the advance of agrl-
cutur in this section. One of the speakers referred to
the fact that at present the farming interests are paying
only six per cent of the total taxes levied in Mason Coun-
ty, and hat there is grea.t need of developing the areas
o good land in the county to provide for its future.when
timber and lumbering will no longer furnish the support
o£ the community. This county will compare favorably
with any,other ,Western Washington county, it even has
advantages over others, and only needs a revived interest
towards its good lands and the working out of some plan
of: co-operative clearing under odernmethods to attract
new farmers and-encourage old farmers.
Where the "war profits" we used to hear about?
Uncle Sam will want to know about them later on.
EXPENSIVE GOVERNMENT
When government costs so much that its tax rate
strangles business and threatens confiscation, then it has
passed its legitimate bounds. The tendency of govern,
ment is to go up in costs, at all'times regardless of the
ervice it is rendering, whether it isputting more gov-
ernment into business or more business into government.
,New machinery for investigation and execution .seems
.alWays to be necessary. When the government extends
atself too far it is the duty of citizens*to check it. That is
,what has to be done today. Goverqment must be made
economical. It must be checked in its extravagance be-
fore business is throttled entirely. Destructive taxes
must be lifted from legitimate businesS. That is the job
that must be attended to and the public must give legis-
lairs and adninistrative bodies no rest until steps are
taken to accomplish this.
Over in Chehalis the other day a Miss Getsman mar,
tied Mr. Quick.and the Bee-Nugget used the conventional
head "Get, smaQuick" without being facetious. But at
this distaice we:can safely crack a smile.

The demand in Japan for Washington lumber may
help out the logging situation somewhat but is not of par-
tl'ular advantage to labor'm the mills. That market calls
for what has become known as eJap souares," large
squared timbera hieh are hber :worked l'to lumber ln
the mills of that .country. The practice is encouraged by
tltefact that tanf£is baed: 6n the Stick rather than the

It does not appear that any of the
wet towns of the state have ary,
thing on Shelton, where the traffic in
contraband "moonshine" has become
flagrant enough Vo disgust people
who still have some respect for law.
To the laymen who is not charged
with the enforcement of the laws
or drawing a salary it appears
strange that a better showing has
not been made in the arrest and con:
viction of those engaged in "boot-
legging," at least to the exteut of
securing fines to cover the extra cost
of hunting the offenders.
]f .gem,ral sentiment is weak in
this regard it will be com;idered
something of a relecHon on the
communitv, but it shou ,1 be realized
that the 'majority of the people do
respect the laws and will stand be-
hind those who are char,_'ed with the
enforcement. If the illicit traffic is
carried on too flagrantly it ought to
be easy to at ]east put it out of
sight.
A 0oor start has so far been made
in this county, in some cases a jury
has given offenders the benefit of
every doubt and oermitted them to
escape, while in the few conwctions
the T)enalty has been so small as to
be farcical, and looked at as a li-
cense to continue. If a 'ood stiff
jail sentence as well as a fine ample
to cover all the cost the taxpayers
have footed to watch the "bootleg-
gers" was meted out, the enforce-
ment of the federal and state pro-
hibition laws would no longer be a
huge joke.
If something tangible in the way
of a clean-up is not soon made the
Jot;rnal is inclined to think that an
organization of local citizens will be
formed to demand improvement and,
incidentally, to take a hand in the
cleaning up.
