Decision'of the capital issues committee of the federal reserve board
that Thurston county may proceed now with the expenditure of two hun
dred thousand dollars out of the six hundred thousand-dollar issue to be
voted on next Tuesday, if it is then authorized, removes '.he chief argu
ment that has been raised against the plan, settles th< patriotic issue and
places the stamp of government approval on the work the county proposes
to undertake. The advocates of the plan can therefore go ahead with the
knowledge that they are not only acting in full accord with the desires of
the federal government but have the government's approval of their con
tention that completion of the pavement of the Pacific highway to Camp
Lewis and construction of a new Westside bridge are of immediate neces
sity.
As for the remaining four hundred thousand dollars of the issue, the
commissioners have adopted a resolution and placed it on record with the
federal reserve board, that they will not undertake any new projects with
out the specific approval of the board in each instance, so long as the war
lasts. This is both a promise to keep faith with the board and a declara
tion to local people that as the first two projects are completed, the others
will be taken up.
The two hundred thousand dollar portion of the total issue now
approved covers all of the work contemplated this year and next, for the
bond plan proposes the adoption of a six-year road-building policy and the
means of financing it. The idea, of course, is to carry out a certain por
tion of it each year and in such a manner that permanent results will be
obtained. Inasmuch as the county has spent on its roads more than seven
hundred and thirty-seven thousand dollars in the past six years and isn't
any better off now than it was six years ago except for the less than five
miles of paving east of the city, the reasonableness and the business value
of the bond plan become apparent. If there isn't any other argument in
favor of the plan, that ought to insure its adoption.
A considerable array of facts and figures concerning the bond ittue
appear elsewhere in this paper. You should avail yourself of this infor
mation so you can decide how to vote next Tuesday. And you ought to
supplement it by attending some one of the meetings that are being held
in as many different districts of the county as possible before the election,
so that you will be fully advised regarding the plan and so able to vote
intelligently. '
And, whatever you think about it, don't neglect to vote.
One who subscribes for a Liberty Bond and gets credit for being a
patriot is not acting patriotically If he immediately sells that bond unless
he imperatively needs the money, Secretary of the Treasury *McAdoo stated
the other day, pointing out that it is not the mere subscription that helps
the government, but the actual loan. Shifting the bond to someone else,
therefore, does not help.
The secretary expressly adds, of course, that the government does not
seek to prevent or interfere with legitimate trading, in good faith, in
Liberty Bonds, but he emphasises the fact that one of the great objects of
the government is tq have these bonds held as permanent investments by
th people generally and not by a few, and paid for out of savings, pro
viding funds for the government while at the same time conserving labor
and material*. s
There are the soundest reasons for holding Liberty Bonds. Their
quotations under par on the New York stock exchange mean a loss only to
those who sell. The financial history of the United States shows that in
tlmea of peace all of its bonds have gone above par, some as high as 139.
The tremendous growth of our resources and our trade, our domestic trade
alone having increased from thirty billion to sixty-four billion dollars In
the last four years, warrants the belief that our government bonds are the
soundest Investments in the world and will command a handsome premium
in the market with the restoration of peace conditions.
Indicating that this is the opinion in Eastern financial cirSles, the
Magatlne of Wall Street reports that in a recent conference of six stock
market experts it was unanimously agreed that upon the declaration of
peace. Liberty Bonds will almost immediately begin to climb until they
approach a three per cent basis. That means that the first issue of 3 V 4's
would sell at from 106 to 110 and the 4's at 117 or thereabouts.
So, even If the profit you can make on them would be your only in
centive, the thing for you to do Is to hold your Liberty Bonds.
PROGRESS TOWARDS STABILITY.
Statements from authoritative sources that the leaders and officials of
union labor throughout the country are urging the rank and file of their
membership to abandon the strike weapon and rely upon conciliation for
the settlement of labor disputes, and the insistence of the federal govern
ment that employers generally recognize and adopt the principle of col
rtive bargaining, are two factors which are making for industrial peace
war time, factors which, if honestly adopted by all concerned, we may
confidently expect to overcome the unrest of the past year. (
Essentially, those factors are made up of clear understanding; under
standing by the men that the government will see that conciliation is
fairly applied; understanding by the employers that, so long anyhow as
the war continues, their employes are not individuals to be dealt with each
man by himself, with the advantage all on the employer's side, but that
they are members of a group whose Interests are largely Identical and
whose welfare depends upon co-operation among them. ,
It Is not at all unlikely that the adoption of these two principles now
will mean their continued application after the war's end. Conciliation of
labor disputes under government direction and collective bargaining as
applied wages, hours and working conditions are, we think, to be the
keystones of the industrial policy of the future.
The work of the Red Cross auxiliaries of this county, judging by the,
reports submitted by several of them, is a revelation to anyone who may
harbor the delusion that the people are not backing up this war. Think
how much these women have been accomplishing, on top of all the other
things they have to do, things which before the war seemed so essential!
How many of us men are doing as much, putting as much real work, real
sacrifice, into what we do do?
The casualty lists are coming pretty regularly from over there and
their length grows daily. The coming months will bring the Great War
closer to us American people than any time since it started nearly four
years ago. Then will we begin to get an idea of what the French, the
English and the Italian people, yes the poor Russians, have been going
through. k
When things come to such a pas? that even county commissioners of
the same political faith find it necessary to have the departmental names
printed on the side of the county automobiles and to instruct the heads of
these department that the cars "must he used exclusively for county pur
poses," there must have been some truth in the remarks made during the
campaign a year or so ego.
