F. Garret Fisher, influential business man who resigned this week as purchasing agent for the Hart administration, de- clares when the right time comes he will “talk, and talk a-plenty.” ee For months reperts have been coming out of the capital that state officials and employes were spending state cash with lavish hand; that state officials, employes and legislators were profiting from deals with the state; that the state was paying war prices for “supplies, mate ria] and service;” that political trickery bordered on the brink of plain crookedness, Not all of these stories were true, But, some of them had enough facts in the background to create suspicion, Some of them were true. ee After all, what happens when @ gang of politicians—who have never been anything else in their lives but politicians of the old-time cuffshooting variety— is turned loose with a state ad ministration and millions of dol- lars? There’s only one answer. There's only one end for such a condition—a blow-up, shattered reputations and perhaps the penitentiary or Central America for a few. eee There are some mighty good men in the Hart administration. They are now on the well-known anxious seat, for they know that they cannot escape being tarred with the same stick that black- ens the rascals.

A state's greatest industry ruined in a frenzied, thoughtless rush for gain. That's the condition of the salmon industry in Washington. The “inex haustible’ supply that might have been the backbone of the state's financial stability is no more. The business it dead at the hands of its friends, It is the victim of greed— |another goose of golden egg produc- tion. When there was plenty, they took itall, They let no prospective mother salmon that could be snatched es- to the breeding nest. They cashed in dollars—and lost. Back in 1913, one of the quad rennial years of big salmon runs, they packed 1,600,000 cases and laughed when men of vision fought for halt, in the interest of the futore. In 1917, the next great year, they could find only enough for 450,000 cases, WHAT WILL THEY PACK IN 1921? Headed state err, and it measures conversa- tion like a gas meter measures gas.
