______
state Good Roads Association, at
Pasco, Adopts Resolutions toe ..
Consideration at Legislature
■ ■ -"- ■■ ■.■■- - ' m a- a.
Resolutions for the consideration
o ,the next state legislature were
adopted by. good roads advocates of
Washington at the meeting of the
State Highway association held at
pseo None of the five delegates
named by the chamber of commerce
to represent Pullman attended the
sessions, owing to the influenza epi
demic, and Senator Oliver Hall of
ftolfax was the only Whitman county
representative at the meeting. All
the counties of the state, with but
three exceptions, were represented.
It was voted to hold the next meet
ing of the association at Yakima.
N. B. Coffman of Chehalis was
elected president, Oliver Hall of
Whitman county is one of the vice
presidents, F. .1. Wilmer of Rosalia
is a member of the executive commit
tee and Chas. L. MacKenzie of Colfax
is a member of the legislative com
mittee.
Resolutions adopted by the associ
ation have in the; past been given ser
ious consideration by the state legis
lature when the road question .con
fronts the law-makers. The resolu
tions adopted this year by the asso
ciation include the following recom
mendations:
That the principle of using auto
mobile license revenues as a basis for
a bond issue for the state Is worthy
of serious and careful consideration
by the senate and house roads and
bridges committee.
That in devising any new laws or
changes in the present laws, either
based on motor license fees or other
wise, the permanent highway fund
and permanent highway maintenance
fund for counties must be main
tained.
The association reaffirms Its belief
that the permanent highway law is
our most effective road law and that
it should not. be tampered with, ex
cept that a clause should be Inserted
therein which will permit counties to
apply their portion of the fund to an
interest and sinking fund account for
taking care of a county bond Issue
for road construction if they so de
sire. Maintenance funds and meth
ods must not be weakened, but rath
er strengthened. This should apply
to not only permanent highways, but
to state roads or other roads which
may bo provided for by supplemental
legislation.
We believe that the argument for
cities of the first and second class for
a small percentage of automobile li
cense money with which to construct
and maintain bona fide arterial con
nections is well founded.
All hard surfacing should begin at
city limits of principal paved centers
or be a continuation of hard surfaced
standard roads already constructed
out from theso trade centers.
We recommend that the legis
lature continue the two recognized
divisions of this state, namely: West
ern division (all west of the Colum
bia river, excepting Okanogan and
Ferry counties) and the Eastern di
vision (all that east of the Columbia
river, plus Ferry and Okanogan) and
that construction go forward simul
taneously in these two divisions on
the ratio of assessed valuation and
that the same rule apply to federal
aid.
That provision be made for the im
mediate construction of at least one
east and west cross-state road.
That the only license fee required
from the owner of any motor vehicle
he that collected by the state.
Now that the war is over an active
campaign must Immediately be in
augurated looking toward building of
highways Into neglected agricultural
districts so that farm products may
be transported upon gasoline-pro-
Pelted trucks.
That special attention be given to
development of roads in districts with
large agricultural production so that

FARM WAGES GIVEN
Bit; ROOST BY WAR
'IM, i
There has beeu considerable con
troversy over the justice or Injustice
of the farmers' claim in regard to the
increased cost of production due to
the raise in wages of farm labor. Lata
compiled representing the; actual
wages paid on a great many farms ac
curately, typical of the-average farm
wages Tor the entire slate show inter
esting comparisons.
In 1902 the farmers of the state
paid an average of $28.35 for farm
labor by the month, with board. In
1911 the wage with board was
$32.80; in 1918, $33.20; in 1914,
$32.90; in 1915, $32.50; in 1916,
$36; in 1917, $47; and in 1918, $63.
The average wage by the day during
harvest, with board, in 1902, was
$2,10; in 1911 the wage, with board,
was $2.31; in 1913, $2.42; in Hi 14,
$2.29; in 1915, $2.35; in 1916,
$2.60; in 1917, $3; and in 1918, $4.
The average wage for the state, with
board, for labor on the farm other
than harvest, per day, in 1902, was
$1.29. in 1911 it was $1.59; in 1913,
$1.67; in 1914, $1.60; in 1915,
$1.69; in 1916, $1.82; in 1917,
$2.40; and in 1918, $3.15.
Comparable figures for farm wages
without board, which represent the
smaller percentages of farms hiring
labor, indicate practically the same
proportionate advances.
The above figures seem to substan
tiate the contention of the farmer
that wages on the average farm have
approximately doubled in the past six
or seven years. Also, taking into con
sideration additional operating ex
penses such as increased cost of ma
chinery, etc. And the fact that cereal
crops show an abnormal decrease in
production in this state, one can eas
ily realize the justice of the claim
of a gqftat many fanners that they
have been unable to operate at a
profit and in many instances have
suffered loss during the past year.

NIGHT MESSAGE HATES
FOR THE PACIFIC COAST
While other sections of the coun
try have always had the benefit of a
reduced rate for short over-night
messages without restriction, the Pa
cific coast lias never had the benefit
of night message rates except to com
paratively nearby points. This has
now been corrected by Postmaster
General Burleson, who has ordered
that, effective nary 1, a universal
system of night messages at greatly
reduced rates shall obtain in all parts
of the country,.
Manager Purdom of the local West
ern Union office advises that under
the new schedule of night message
rates the people of the Pacific coast
Will have a rate as low as 50 cents
for message:; of 10 words to New
York City and other places on the At
lantic seaboard, With an added charge
of only two cents per word for addi
tional words. To Chicago, where the
night message rate has been 60 cents
and four cents for each additional
word, the new tariff is only 45 cents
plus two cents for additional words,
while corresponding reductions are
made throughout the system. To
nearby points the minimum rate is
reduced from 26 cents to 20 cents.
