D” you notice how certain special interests and Seattle political organs howled when a war tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline proposed? The tax may or may not have been justified, but do you remember the argument these organs used to combat it? They said it would tax the poor fisherman, and, shedding ruin of the entire fish industry in the state because, forsooth, fishermen use gasoline boats. Tuesday, the Standard Oil company raised the price of gasoline another cent. The week before it also went up a cent. During the past few months it has gone up from 11 cents to 18% cents, But the aforesaid political organs are wasting no tears over the poor fisherman now. It all depends, apparently, on who is collecting the tax whether the fisherman can make a living or not. The Chief Should Worry HIEF LANG, according to a morning newspaper, isn’t afraid of the bomb-makers. worry over the sawdust “bomb,” addréSsed to him, found at Auburn Wednesday. Why should he? Did Chief Lang ever do anything‘in the way of law enforcement to entitle him to any suc “bloodthirsty” attention? If he did, we never heard about it. . crocodile tears galore, they pictured the He refuses to h Good in Peace or in War mOULD the preparedness measure go thru, with its correlative of tremendously increased expenses, congress is going to immediately begin hedging by lopping off all extraordinary appropriations and Ry shelving measures adding to the national budget. Economy will be necessary and commendable. _ But there is such a thing as false economy. There is a bill now pending before the 64th congress which should not be sacrificed to the pre- 4 rape bill; which is in fact an important factor in a comprehensive program of military pre- ness. That is the bill providing for an appropriation of $25,000,000 for a national highway system. The European war has demonstrated the superiority of automobile transportation for men, mu- “nitions and supplies over any other method, even rail transportation, They are more mobile and not ) confined to a certain or fixed route. They are less expensive to operate and maintain. : In fact, they are as indispensable a part of an army of today as are cannon, But without high- ' ways they are worthless to a large extent. And $25,000,000 spent on highways would be one twenty-five million well invested if war never came to us. Don't lose sight of the national highways bill. : Surprised ’Em a ENRY* FORD announces that he has another peace plan. This time he will send, he “Der- sonalities instead of personages,” and more of ‘em. From all we could learn, Mr. Ford had entirely too many personalities the first time. But maybe he means to take a different kind of personalities on the next trip. Seems to us, tho, Mr. Ford is not giving his ex-guests a square deal when he publicly declares that “the people across the water were astonished when they saw the personnel of the party.” Why rub it in, Henry? says, e Prod Necessary a Washington dispatch says. _ If the president needs any help in this particular line we will agree to furnish as many brawny nchers, graduates in the art of the prod pole, as the occasion may demand.
