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 " ?

It ig unfor- tunate, more te'ests to kep auto goes snorting through the than fifty miles an hour flat w in violation of town and state to be told to "cut it out." 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. " AP .... J SQUARES" 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 usual board measurement, Now the exlmiment of ship-, lo with0uts rm t?be :,' • • " P.,K .g. :.,.  e g i ,almatn all. ltatll labor in  count.: ,: ./,, %.!?,,.,, ,,, ..... . ../ 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.
