rAaEFOtrg THE MASON COUNTY JOURNAL GRANT C. ANGLE & SONS, Publishers MEMBER OF ,VASttlNGTON STATE PF.ESS ASSOCIATION Intered, u second-class matter at the postofflcs at Shelton, W'ashingt0n Published every Friday morning. Subscription: Domestic, $2 per year. Foreign, $2.50 In advance (All papers discontinued one month after delinquency) 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. i m i i ii i i i FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 192I# i. 'REAL 00ATEi::T00SFE00 i .
