In the primary election there are four candidates running on each ticket. You may cast your three votes for any three of the eight. Mason County has, on occasion, had two of the three' district representatives, back when Savage and George N. Adams were in the legislature at the same time. The primary election will determine who the next county sheril[ is, because the two candidates for the of- lice  incumbent W. A. Potter and his one-time deputy Sam Clrk  both are running as Democrats. One of the confusing peculiarities of the coming elec- tions lies in the non-partisan offices. In the case of two Supreme Court positions the issue will be settled in the pri- mary, where only two candidates are seeking eagh position. On the other hand, in the non-partisan county school superintendent situation, where again only two candidates incumbent Bill Goodpaster and challenger Paul Gillie -- are filed, the race will not be settled until the general election. Their names will not even appear on the primary election ballot. Don't ask us why, TAKE A SKEPTICAL ATTITUDE Door.to-door sales sharks are a nuisance at any time and a menace some times.. Lately there seems to have been a plague of them in and around Shelton. The very least a housewife (or the man of the house- hold, if he answers the door) should do if she bothers to listen to them at all is take a highly skeptical attitude at the sales pitch if the party is a stranger. We were pleased to learn of one Shelton housewife who took the skeptical attitude and ]ound out that Nl, e set of books a salesman wanted to contract her to buy would cost over a hundred dollars more than a sim- ilar set being sold, by a local resident. This particular housewife was incensed by the devious and deceitful method the salesman used to lead up to his ultimate goal, the contract signing. The whole procedure wasted about an hour of her time, she told the Journal, and it made her pretty mad. We wish all householders in our community would do like this housewife did, only sooner, and send these door-to- door sales sharks packing. They'll come around selling books, magazines, home re- pairs (these are the guys who can hurt you the worst finan- cially), photographs, appliances, and a thousand other things. Wisest policy always  deal only with someone you know, someone whose reputation for honest dealing has been estab- lished. This is usually someone who lives right here in your own community. AN EXOELLENT PROGRAM One of the fine programs inaugurated in this state is the State Parks Department youth work corps. Initial example of its potential was seen at Lake Cush- man State Park, where a sort of "graduation" ceremony was held August 18. Twenty boys between 16 anal 19 years, selected from several hundred applicants on the basis of character and general good record, spent six weeks living in tents in the rugged south Olympic Mountain area while build- ing trails, roads, small bridges, campsites and other facili- ties for the new state park which the public will enjoy in years to come. Evidence of their exceIlmL work was easily seen by those atte,nding the ceremony, at which numerous state officials participated. Their time was not entirely spent m physical labor. In addition to normal recreation respites for swimming, fish- ing, hiking, etc., the boys were given instruction in such worthwhile and interesting subjects as fire prevention and fire-fighting techniques, game and fish management meth- ods, wilderness survival techniques, safety precautions, first aid, usc of tools, search and mountain rescue methods, for- estry and conservation, etc. That boys of good character were chosen for this work is attested in foreman Bill Legg's declaration that not a sin- gle fight developed among them, and that's quite a testimon- ial for 20 boys of the vigorous teens thrown together for six weeks, few having known one another before-hand. The Cushman State Park work project was the largest of four in this inaugural year of the youth corps. It would seem to have a bright future, judging from the accomplish- at Lake Cushman.

Alexander, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from the Third District. Alexander said that the Rep. Julia Butler Hansen, Democrat, who he hopes to oppose in the general election, has a perfect ADA (Americans for Democratic Action) right voting record. What the lumber industry needs is either the imposilion of quo- tas or higher tarrifs to aid it in ,is fight for markets with Can- tdian lumber. Mrs. Hansen, de- ,,pile this need for higher tar- rifs, voted recently to give the president power to cut tarrifs by 50 percent, Alexander said. FACT FINDING groups into the lumber situation were told by lumbermen what was needed• A1- cxander said, and so recommend- ed to the president. What did the president do---he asked the Can- edians to impose a voluntary quo- ta and when they would not, ne pouted. Candidates for the state iegis- latnre all expressed concern with the i, igh rate of state spending and growing government by bur- eaus, which make up their own budget requests which serve to perpetuate and enlarge tllem- aelves. Each of the fore' placed then,- selves in tle conservative ranks and proud to be there. The state Democratic platform came in for some caustic com- ments for its far left leanings from the candidates. ALEXANDER suggested that Herb Legg, State Democrat chair- man. read the "Comrmmist Mani- festo" so he would know where the platform of the SLate Demo- crats would lead him. C. Nolan Mason, Republican candidate for re-election for Coun- ty Auditor. introduced the can- LETTERS SPE('TIIE OF 2rid liAI,F TAXES ON IIOOD CANAL To The Editor: "With t.h coming ,f Labor Da3 the final accounting for the tom'. ist season is at hand. The appar- ition of the second payment ot taxes is casting its ominous sha. dew immediately ahead. The "Governnlent" as a collecting and assessing agency ires never earned a penny ilence is hardly aware oi the sensation this time of year occasion. Spending is so much easier than earning, and tl, is the government does ill lavish fashion. Much publicity has been given io the stymied and lessening traf- fic in the lurnber industry with the competition of Canadian in- dustry forcing the mills in our vicinity to close. Little mention has been forth coming, howeveI concerning the much totted tour- ist traffic in the Evergreen state, and the bankruptcy it faces. Cer- tainly the World's Fair has done some peculiar things to the econ- omy of the entire state. In no place has the mark been overshot to a greater extent than the much looked for tourist travel. Since 1914 I have seen the rise and fall of the tourist business on Hood Canal, but at no time in its his- troy has there been so little as the dribble of business this sea- son will show. Not a "newcomer" or a novice in the Mason County woods, I have long held a tiny strip" of territory on the edge of Hood Canal. It has become a most costly spot on which to park my tepee and each ),eat" its tax value lessens my chance to hang on. To assist in collecting enough to appease the assessor I have constructed a few tiny cabins that are quietly diG- integrating and falling apart. I have found no income from this source, and like others on Hood CaJnal, caught in the resort bus- tndss, I am confronted with the second half payment of taxes in the immediate future. Several years ago Mr. Rosellini engaged the services of a very ex- pensive consultant to advise those of us who were struggling with the "economy" how to make a "go of it", Mr. Dwayne Kreager : issued bulletins of information and mailed out questionaires. He even supplied a four-cent stamp and a request for only two minutes t'me to reply to the questionaire. I took two hours of tinm-- and r, dded another stamp to the one he supplied and did my best to supply him with the requested in- formation. Concluding, I suggest- ed that in his search for "dis- tressed al'etuu" of the state he migi, t look to the Went of Olym- pia only as far as Mason County to find plenty of "distrcossed peo- ple" in the famous tourist area of the stat:e of Washington. It might be interesting to have an audit made of the amount of money spent by the "fly-by-night" tourist trade as it tears down the highway to the next free parking area provided by the state with- out cost as a state park. rt would be really interesting to know just what amount of money Is spent by this trade. The resort owner, with his "vacancy" sign lmnging limp for successive weeks is not i unaware of the fact that the ex- I cessive taxes he is compelled to= pay is spent on the adjoining tract i to' provide free aceommodations l to those who miglat have con- i sidered use of his facilities, i Where do we get the nmney to i pay the next half of. our taxes? Of course, we can be forced to close and sell, this the wise ones have already done.
