THE WAR WILL STIMULATE BUSINESS
The general consensus of Opinion of prominent financiers
and bankers is that the war will have a stimulating rather than
• depressing effect on business. This opinion is well summed
no in an statement by E. T. Oomuu, president of the Exchange
National Bank of Spokane. He says:
A "Unless the tines of war should go decidedly against
• this country—which is a contingency most difficult to contem
plate—the war can have none other than a stimulating effect
' upon the business of the country. The vast purchases of com
modities incident to preparation of the army and navy will
bring a new cash purchaser into the markets, stabilize or in
crease the price of all supplies, and stimulate business activity
iv every line.
: "Business for ihe past year has been conducted at such a
furious pace that it would seem difficult to increase the speed
any further. Our transportation facilities are wholly inade
quate to the needs of the country and until such time as these
can be enlarged, that situation will constitutes decided draw
hack to business development. Wars in the past have been a
decided stimulant to business activity in all countries except
those which have been subjected to invasion and -the devasta
tion incident to the tremendous conflicts of modern limes.
Business in the Northwest has never been at such high pres
sure. With the exception of the lumber business, all industries
ar e working to full capacity. The lumber mills are restricted,
first, by lack of transportation, and second, by lack of labor.'
The real estate business is probably th only line which is not
active." .

THE LESSON OP THE NON-PARTI
SAN LEAGUE OF NORTH
DAKOTA
The Non Partisan League of North
Dakota has attracted nation wide at
tention by its notable achievement in
securing control of the political ma
chinery of that state and In routing
both the old political organizations
in the recent campaign. While the
League elected an overwhelming ma
jority of its candidates for the legis
lature, there were enough holdover
members of lie senate to block its
legislative program. It lias not
been in existence long enough to
demonstrate the wisdom of its pol
icies or the permanency of its
foundation, but it lias already taught
a very valuable lesson —the potential
power of the farmers, as a factor in
politics, when they work together for
the same thing, instead of against
each other for different tilings.
The farmers, as a class, have been
very strong and very narrow in their
political prejudices. They have been
loath to scratch their party tickets
except for county officers or for can
didates with whom they have a per
sonal acquaintance. They have been
conservative about abandoning the
political faith of their fathers and
grandfathers. They have been sus
picious of each other and of any
movement aimed to break down
party lines.
As- a result of this failure to work
together for their own interests, the
farmers have not exercised nearly as
much political Influence as is justi
fied by their voting strength. .Manu
facturers, bankers and laborers have
Pee, able to secure far more favor
able legislation than the farmers,
simply because they have voted sol
idly together to protect and advance
their own Interests, while the farm
ers have divided on party lines.
Politicians have paid little attention
to the demands of farmers because
they did not believe that the tillers
of the soil had the capacity for or
ganizing and voting together. This
theory has been exploded by the rec
ord of the farmers of North Dakota.
'I ley proved thai they could form,
finance, manage and stick to their
own political organisation. What
ibey have dene, the farmers In other
dates can do. and when they rcalizi
and decide to use their voting power,
there will be a thorough and much
needed political house cleaning in a
number of commonwealths, includ
ing Washington.
WM. GOODYEAR.
THE CJILLKX PLAN
1 Nearly every organized unit in the
United States-is trying to do its part
in assisting Hie government to pre
pare for and carry on the-war with
Germany. The states, having an or
ganization through which. to work, j
are rendering effective and valuable
aid. but many of the cities are mak
ing the mistake, of dividing the re
sponsibility among numerous com
mittees without any central govern
ing body to plan and direct the cam
paign "In the multitude of council.,
there is wisdom,"! but in the multi
tude of committees there is chaos.
The more committees that are named
in a city to perform separate func
tions, the greater will be ihe con
tusion and the less the results.
A sensible method of avoiding this
confusion and of securing a maxi
mum of results has been evolved by
.Martin ,1. allien of Racine. Wis., and
is being adopted by a large number
of lilies. His idea is that each city
should appoint a city council of na
tional defense, to he composed of 10
citizens, selected on the basis of
ability, energy and patriotism This
committee is to take control of all
matters and work pertaining to the
war situation, and will act on all re
quests of the president- of the United
stales or his authorized agents or of
the governor and state officials, ln
this way the responsibility will be
effectively centralized, instead of be
ins spread out among numerous or
ganizations often working Ineffici
ently or at cross purposes.
The general functions of the com
mittees appointed under the Gi'llen
plan are outlined as follows:
l. To assist the nation, state and
our own city in doing all things
necessary to bring about the highest
effectiveness In the national crisis
now existing and to co-ordinate all
activities arising within our city,
those of the federal government and
our state, so that this central commit
tee may become a clearing house for
all work required to be done by our
citizens.
2. In the above regard to receive
from the National and State Coun
cils of Defense requests and orders
for their respective requirements and
to have them executed as rapidly as
possible, while at the same time sav
ing the merchant, laboring and
manufacturing Interests of the city
from demoralization and ruination.
''. To aid in furnishing, consort
Ing and increasing trie food product?
for the population of this city so thai
they may receive nourishing food
and at reasonable prices, and in Ibis
regard Institute an immediate cam
paign in the city and county for the
increased tillage and planting of the
soil on unused lots and land and for
.the distribution of government In
formation as*to the' proper use of
foods by our citizens so as not to de
plete the national food supply.
4. To provide for the education
and training in military and naval
affairs of the residents of the
city and county, a ccording to
age and fitness for universal
service in the army, for home
defense and for the domestic Heeds
of the nation.
."». To Investigate and list all
available men and women in this city
and county for the different needs
of the nation and aid for such re
cruiting as is required by the govern
ment from the lists when so com
pleted, for the army. navy. Red
Cross, motor and all other essential
departments of the government.
<> To Investigate and list all
sources of supplies that can be fur
nished by the merchants and manu
facturers of this city for the gov
ernment.
7. To investigate and ascertain
the loyalty of persons in this city and
county charged or under suspicion of
disloyalty to our country, whether
they be foreign born, of foreign par
entage or alien enemies, so that jus
tice may be done.
8. To remove any of its members
by a majority vote and to fill ai.l
vacancies that may occur in said
committee arising from any cause
whatever; to raise by subscription
and disburse all moneys necessary to
further the purposes and the objects
for which this council is created,
with full power and authority in this
council to appoint any and all sub
committees necessary to aid this
committee, such as and representing
the city council, board of supervis
ors, school board, labor, farmers,
manufacturing, banking, retail mer
chants.* doctors, fraternal organiza
tions, women's clubs, and the like.
9. To take up with and Interest
all legal and authorized bodies of
the city and county, and with the
citizens generally, the problems
which arise through the carrying out
of the foregoing purpose, and to do
all other matters, things and acts of
every name and nature which will
carry Into effect the foregoing pur
poses, i
Pullman needs such a city council
of national defense. The city Is
overorganlzed with committees han
dling different phases of the work
incident to the war. To get the host
results all this work should be cen
tralized In the hands of a small, com
pact body of citizens,* who''can' be
called together quickly and will act
promptly and Intelligently. The 011
--len plan Is a good one and should be
adopted In every city.
WM. GOODYEAR. |
E. I' Benson, state commissioner
of agrieultdro, baa asked every
newspaper to donate space in each
issue for the dissemination of In
formation regarding the food prepar
edness campaign, and suggests that
a do-.: column space six Inches
deep be used for this purpose. As
far as The Herald is concerned, he
can have a page or two paces If the
spue- is ii,,, ,1,
German* who have made their
homo in the United States are In
tlie posit urn of a man whose mother
and wife have quarreled. If he loves
them both lie is placed in a very try
ing situation and deserves sympathy
rather than ridicule and abufee.
The modern Benedict Arnold Is
not 'in- congressman ho voted his
honest convictions on the question of
declaring war, but the man who tries
to make all he can out or the war,
while Ins countrymen arc putting all
they an Into the war.
In this war a man can serve the
country as effectively and honorably
by wielding a hoe as by shouldering
a rifle, and a woman can help as
much by plying her needle on Red
Cross supplies as by volunteering as
a nurse.
"Straddle the wheel tracks—don't
make ruts—-Increase the wearing
surface,'' is a slogan which, if
adopted and followed, will greatly
Improve the roads and save money
for the taxpayers.
There is always room for one more
worker al the Bed Cross headquart
ers.
War means self-sacrifice and sell
sacrifice men you.
