EDITORIAL The State of Western Washington and the State of Eastern Washington may not exist on the maps—but they exist in fact. For several months each year they are cut off from each other. The tower- ing Cascades form a barrier not only geographical, but commercial and social. 3reaking down of that barrier is the biggest and most profitable job these two states can undertake in the next few years. To accomplish it there are plans for building two or three dirt trails thru the mountain passes, impassable in winter, dirty, dusty and dangerous in summer. yet HAT this state needs is NOT three or four fair-weather trails across it from east to west, but ONE BROAD, PAVED, ALL-YEAR highway across the mountains. King county legislators met in Seattle this week and talked of plans for two or three roads, maintained by the state. They talked of taking over the Stevens Pass road. They talked of in- creasing gasoline taxes 50 per cent. They talked of everything but the most im- portant job this state has to perform—the build- ing of a permanent, all-weather, all-year road for fast motor traffic, a concrete highway 30 or 40 feet wide, up hill and down dale, across the state. [ EAD of one up-and-coming, consolidated state, we have in ‘Washington practically two states— east side and west side. The sides are out of touch with each other several months each year, when present transmountain roads are snow-blocked. What's the use of having half a dozen “fairly good” roads over the mountains if they’re to be closed in winter? Why scatter all the road money over these expensive-to-maintain highways? Why not put the money into one real, honest-to- Hannah highway that can be kept open the year ‘round; that will shorten the distance and the time between Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma; that will make ONE state of this commonwealth instead of two? HOUSANDS of tourists roll westward every year. Some of them come over Snoqualmie. Some of them are struggling over Stevens Pass, which is NOT a good road, yet. And a whole host of them route themselves down the Columbia river highway, instead, fearing the Cascade passage. ‘ell the tourists in Spokane: ‘“There’s a 40-foot aved highway over the mountains to Seattle and Tacoma”—and see which road they'll take. x ok ow HE STAR does not know WHERE this road should be built or HOW it should be built. That is a problem for engineers—and they will solve it quickly if they are handed the job. Transportation still is civilization, road to progre: Two, or three, or four half-year roads, enormously expensive to maintain, comparatively slow to drive over, don’t represent progress; they represent waste and inefficiency. It is the royal SB ih erm ONE CONCRETE strip, linking east side’ and west side, inviting tour- ists, cutting down travel time in all weathers and seasons, is about as pro- gressive and economical a project as this state—or these two states of East- ern and Western Washington—can en- gage in.
