PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1921
IM'I.I.M \Vs OBLIGATIONS
A mutual obligation exists be
tween the people of Pullman .Mill the
state of Washington. The state has
established here a public Institution
of learning for the liberal and prac
tical education of tho industrial
classes and is under obligations to
maintain that institution to such a
degree that every young man and
young woman of the commonwealth
who desires to secure an education
at the State College may be able to
do so without charge for tuitiion.
With that idea in view the people of
the whole state are taxed for the
support of the college The location
of the institution in this city is of
almost inestimable value to the prop
erty owners, business men and every
resident of the community. Put it
imposes an obligation commensur
ate with the benefits derived.
If the people of the whole state
furnish the necessary facilities for
educating every young man and j
woman who desires to enter the col- i
lege, the people of Pullman are un
der obligations to see that no I
would-be student is obliged to go
away because of being unable to find
a place in which to live. They are
under further obligations to provide
rooming and boarding accommoda
tions at reasonable rates and to pro
tect both the students and faculty
members against exploitation They j
are also under obligations to safe
guard the health and morality of the
students by keeping the city clean,
both physically and morally.
The growth of the city and of the
college are Interdependent, hut the
city must at all times make every
possible effort to keep up with the
pace set by the college, for it is al
ways dangerous to cramp the nat
ural growth of any educational in
stitution. At the present time the
question uppermost in the mind of I
every resident of Pullman should be:
"How can I help to provide rooming
accommodations at reasonable rates
for every student who desires to en
roll at the State College?" instead of j
"How much rent can I extort be
cause of the present shortage of
rooms?"
Pullman's obligations must he met
and Pullman's opportunity to prof
iteer must he spurned.

Till: ADVANTAGE OF PRACTICING
WHAT WE PREACH
The members of the city council of
Pullman ami of the local school
board are to be commended for their
efforts to reduce taxes by exercising
rigid economy In preparing their
budgets for the coming year. Econ
omy must begin at home if it is to
be extended to lb'- expenditures of
the state and nation The plan!
adopted by the. city council to cut j
the levy for city purposes it mills I
under last year may entail the post
ponemenl of some desirable im- j
provements, but it is a wise policy, j
The plan of the school hoard to set I
aside part of the available funds of ]
the district for the retirement of out- '
standing bonds and interest is equal j
ly commendable. It may involve
some curtailment of the curricula
and some extra work on the part of
teachers, but under existing circum
stances ail should realize the import- {
ance of reducing the tax burden and
cheerfully co-operate in every way
possible to bring about that desir- i
able result.
it is a very easy matter to appro
priate money and to levy taxes to
meet the appropriations, and. as long,
as the people pay the taxes, there is j
smooth sailing. But when taxes
reach a point beyond the ability of
the taxpayers to meet them, they are!
not paid hut become delinquent, and j
delinquent taxes are not a liquid as
set which can be readily converted
into cash
When the towns and cities and
school districts begin to reduce their
tax levies the county and state and
national officials will take heed and
follow the good sample, because
they realize that each small com
munity is a reliable barometer of
public sentiment.
As long as the people of these
small units show no disposition to
practice economy in the manage
ment of their local affairs, little
heed will be given to their demands
that county and state and national
expenditures be reduced. But when
they begin to economize themselves
it is a sure Indication that they
mean business and will not tolerate
extravagance on the part of the
larger political units of which they
are a part.
The public officials of this com
munity have made a good start and
the people are back of them. Hay-
ing practiced what they preach, they
are in a position to demand a hear
ing from the powers that be at Col
lax and 01) mpia and Washington,

DEMENTIA SPEEDITIH
Dementia Speeditia, a new form of
Insanity, is becoming very prevalent
in the United States. Drivers of au
tomobiles seem to be particularly
susceptible to the malady in its most
virulent form, and thus far no ade
quate remedy for it has been found,
although many have been suggested
and given a trial. What a serious
menace to the public safety and wel
fare this disease is becoming is in
dicated by the following Associated
Press dispatch:
New York, Aug. 30.—An estimate
that 14,500,000 was paid by life in
surance companies in death claims
from automobile fatalities during
1920 is published today by the in
surance press. Statistics are quoted
to show that during the year the au
tomobile caused 12,000 fatalities and
1,500,000 nonfatal injuries.
Probably four-fifths of this ap
palling list of fatalities and injuries
can be traced directly to drivers suf
fering from Dementia Speeditis. One
of the effect! Of the disease is to
make its victims absolutely reckless
of their own safety and utterly obliv
ious to the safety of others. They
become obsessed with the single idea
of Covering as many miles as possible
In the shortest time possible on every
occasion possible. It makes no dif
ference to them whether or not there
is any reason for hurrying. Unless
they travel at top speed, they can
get no pleasure out of traveling. The
sight of a car ahead of them or the
sound of one coming up behind them
drives them into a. frenzy.
Anyone who has contracted De
mentia Speeditis is a menace to him
self and to the public. The sane and
careful driver never knows when or
where he will meet one of these
lunatics on the road. He may be
driving ever so slowly around a
sharp curve, hugging his side of the
road, only to meet head-on a car
coming at 4 0 or 50 miles an hour on
the wrong side of the highway. He
may he proceeding tranquilly along
a narrow strip of road and sudden- i
ly be crowded into the ditch by a
crazy fool, whose one idea is to pass
every car he overtakes, regardless of
the risks Involved.
Regulations, warnings and fines
have proved totally inefficacious
cures for ibis mania: in fact tiny ap
pear to simply aggravate the mal
ady. Persons suffering from far
less dangerous forms of insanity are
locked up in jails and asylums be
cause it is not deemed safe to allow
them at large. The same treatment
should be given tin- victims of De
mentia Speeditis. A jail sentence
should he imposed upon every one
caught breaking the speed limits on
the public highways, unless there is
some sufficient and exceptional rea
son for so doing, as in the case of a
physician answering an urgent call,
or of a. farmer hurrying to extinguish
a fire. The quiet of a prison cell
might have such it soothing effect
as to prove an effect cure for De
mentia Speeditis, when till less dras
tic remedies have failed.

DEMORALIZING CHINESE
STUDENTS
A large number of young Chinese
are leaving their native land for
these shores this week, among them
one group of 30 Shanghai girls, all
coming to receive a made-in-Amer
ica education. American Consul
General Cunningham is reported to
have advised the departing boys and
girls to live, if possible, with Amer
ican families rather than in dormi
tories or clubs, in order to imbibe
the American sense of bono life,
mat sense is much more manifest in
some American families than in oth
ers. .Not every American home is a
home, sweet home. In these mat
ters, as in to many other affairs of
life, the Chinese students will have
to take their chance
Mr. Cunningham .- solicitous
about the manners and morals the
newcomers shall acquire in America
j for it seems that the quality of the
culture received by Chinese youth in
this country in recent years has been
deteriorating. Some young fellows
have returned to their native land
votaries of jazz, addicts to shimmy
and preachers of the gospel of festiv
ities and high jinks. Chinese par
ents are beginning to doubt the ef
ficacy of an American education as a
means of exalting and ennobling
Young China. Mr. Cunningham is
telling them that the slump in qual
ity is temporary and unavoidable, be-
lag due entirely to the evil Influences
Of the war, by reason of which so
many other products have for the
time being suffered serious retro
gradation and deplorable impair
! ment. The war is over in one sense,
! but for many years it is going to do
[active service as a goal —Anaconda!
