LUMBER STILL LEADS
Elsewhere will be found figures taken from the
assessment rolls of Mason County which accurately show
what proportion of the taxes is paid by the various in-
terests of the county, and it will be somewhat surprising
to note that the timber and logging interests still pay
much the larger part of the taxes, although lumbering
has been the main industry of the county for more than
fifty years. Another surprise comes from the poor show-
ing made og the agricultural interests of the county for
so long a period of settlement.
The explanation lies in the fact that in earlier years
the settlers found the logging camps the source of the
easiest living and for that reason agricultural develop-
ment and marketing facilities have never received their
,share of attention. That the soil is productive and the
crops grow as well h@e as in any other section of Puget
'Sound is easily proven by the results obtained by those
who make the farms their sole source of living. That the
farming interests represent less than one-tenth of the
county's valuation is a condition that should encourage
more farm development.
Now that the harvest season is at hand the producers
'are due for their share of prosperity when the returns
come for their labor of the year.
MAKING PROGRESS BACKWARD
/
Seattle political financiers are trying to make the
best of a bad bargain by boosting the jitneys that the
municipal carlines may have the monopoly of the city
streets. Some years ago the populace were encouraging
the jitneys in order to milk the traction trust, holding
the car fares down to a nickel and taxing the private
corporation on both its gross earnings and physical prop-
erties. Now the city has secured ownership of its lines,
forced a ten cent fare and continues to lose money in the
operation to say nothing of the loss of taxes.
The end is not yet, as a three cent fare is proposed
oh the theory that the already over-burdened taxpayers
should furnish free rides for the proletariat. Individ-
ually the Seattleite may be smart, but collectively he is
a "chump" and victim of the visionaries.
Evidently the balance has been struck since trade re-
ports generally indicate improved business in August
over July, and increasing prices in some staple lines, in-
eluding farm produce.
" ]0NUg FOR LAND CLEARING
' in the state at large the timber owners, not including
mills and machinery, paid a grand total of $6,500,000 in
taxes last year, while the taxes prod by the railroads
amounted to $8,300,000, a total of $141800,000 for the two
interests. The same year the total taxes paid on farming
property was ,000,000. Bouck, the deposed grange
master, clallus the farmer bears all the tax blrden, but
the figures do not show it. However, there is room for
some equitable relief to encourage more development of
farm lands by some form of bonus for clearihg oper-
ations, and this may be worked out ,in the future.
Some city people may pokel fun atthe farmer, but
it may be i, emarked that the proportion of those showing
fair success in their chosen avocation is quite as 'large as
in the country as in the cities, and the failures even less.
The next movement will be "back to the farm."
HOW ABOUT PRICES?
: Will prices advance?
That is the question that-is perturbing the average
consumer. Though no increase is in sight at present, it
is true that goods in many lines have been sold below the
cost of production. Obviously this cannot last, and when
the shelves are depleted of the overstock, prices must ad-
vance in order to make a profit. It is claimed by cone-
mists that conditions are favorable to a twenty per cant
advance this year or next, so to be forewarned is' fore-
armed.
Those who await further decline in prices are likely
to be disappointed• By buying now, not only wilt consum-
ers get the advantage of bottom prices but they will help
he country generally in an industrial way.
: TRADE BOOSTERS
When business is a little sluggish the live merchant
hustles a little harder and does more advertising to force
the trade movement, while the farmer and the umbrella
manufacturer hire l he rainmaker to help them out. The
business and trade :'ystem need professional attention
at times just as the human system does.

ARE YOU YOUR OWN BOSS?
The United States of America would never have been
carved out and developed by.,men who would bow to re-
ligious, political or class dictation.
The fathers of this country would not have tolerated
any policy which required any man to belong to any
church, political party or class organization before he
could get a job and earn an honest living.
Labor leaders today demand a "closed shop" policy,
under which no man can work until he joins and pays
