when we say "grand" we really mean it.
Mrs. Haird is also very proud of her family's war record, :
for she had three sons and two sons-in-law in the first world

Concerning the
NORTHWEST
Aj Viewed at the
National Capital
By
John W. Kelly
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. l't.
The Washington congressional
delegation does not want electors
of that state to vole on the Bone
power hill; members have writ
ten the legislature to enact the
bill with an emergency clause,
and when a legislature uses the
emergency clause it prevents the
public from taking action. The
Bone-Smith bill, introduced in
the late session of congress, died
without anything being done, but
Senator Homer T. Bone wrote a
hill for his state to avoid waiting
for congressional support.
Senator Bone is a last worker,
and he took all six of the con
gressmen from his stale into
camp: sold them on the idea that
unless his state proposal was en
acted the long reach of bureau
cracy would take over. Roughly,
the new Bone bill permits PUIVs
to group together and acquire
power property, and a talking
point! which impressed the six
Washington congressmen i is that
they will be free from domina
tion hy the Bonneville Grand Con
lee administrator. Of course, the
only energy they are likely to ob
tain will be generated at Grand
Coulee or Bonneville, and Paul
J. Raver will be "dominating."
Two executives of private pow
er companies in Washington
happened to be in the national
capital when they heard Ihe
news. One is doing a highly im
portant task for the government
in Latin America: the other was
here on another matter. They
called on Fred Norman of Ray
mond. Hal Holmes of Ellenshurg.
and Walter F. Horan of Wenai
chee, the three new republican
members, and the talk was lively.
Here were three republicans who
were elected over three advocates
of public ownership, and the gen
eial opinion expressed in the
press of Washington and Oregon
was that they were elected, in no
small part, because their oppon
ents were dyed-in-the-wool gov-,
ernmept ow nership champions.
This trio had not been in con
gress .30 days when th'-y assured
Ihe legislature that from their
know ledge and experience in con
gress some tough legislation
would be enacted unless the legis
lature adopted the Bone hill. One
of the private power executives,
in conversation. tsaid he should
know something about congress,
having her-n back here for about
eight years at least as much as
men who had been here a month
- and he declared that the lemper
of congress is not inclined toward
stirring up the power issue for
the duration.
It is not considered e, hii-al for
a member ol congress hi wriie lo
his home legislature and tell the
local boys what they should do
with regard to stale legislation.

Mexican Labor Sought
Northwest orchardlsts have ap.
pealed to Paul McNutt to import
Mexican laDor ami snip severM
hundred hands Into Oregon an.
Washington. Last year the state
department arranged wilh Mp.
can officials for 5000 of ,ii,.se
laborers anil the arrangement ap
pears to have been satisfactory.
Every orchardist and farmer
realizes that there will be a tor.
rifie shortage of workeis ,0
gather the crops, and this has
prompted the suggestlo:i n, ,c,
Nutt that he bring in a larger
number and he,lp the nor! hv. est.
Heretofore there has been no
Mexican labor in that region; it
has remained in California, tjne
suggestion to McNutt is thai the
United Slates ship Inland empire
w heat to Mexico, which that coun
try needs, and this be used as a
credit for part of the pay of these
workers. The- rule last year re!
quired Ihe farmer to pay ,he
.Mexicans in cash, wilh a nrovi.
sion that part of the wages he dew
posited in a savings account, paj
able to the worker upon his ro.
turn to Mexico if he desired.
Boards Lax In Deferment
Deferment for occupational
reasons lit is about 10 per cer'
in Oregon and 9.1 per cent in
Washington is being disregard
ed hy some local hoards in ihe
northwest. The hoard is given a
quota and fills that quota regard
less. So many young chaps ha-e
volunteered for the marines and
navy that the boards reach out
for anyone to make up the de
ficiency; the state quotas ignore
the volunteers. Shipyard workers
were supposed lo be deterred,
but many have been yanked out
first to direct local law makers to
do anything,
and put in uniform.
A man 44 years old, an exiert
marine engineer and aulhoriiyon
relrigeialion, has been holding a
key position in a Kaiser yard in
l 111- aiicouci-i ui ii.iini nisi i lew
The draft board needed men, ca.JJ
..ll. .,1 a.trniMvw.rO ..nil .nil him
in uniform. Instead of being as
signed to marine engines, he is
now al a camp on Ihe Atlantic
coast learning the business of a
longshoreman. Navy heard about
his case, offered to get him out of
the army and use him on a-ship,
hut Ihe engineer refused: says for
Ihe first time in his life he has no
responsibility. Deferment because
of oeeiiption is exceptionally hiRh
on the Pacific coast because of
ihe army of men engaged in
building ships for army, navy and
merchant marine, aircraft factor
ies and the lumber and dairying
industries.
Since the French acquired
Casablanca 3a years ago they
have spent more than Sfi.i.OOO.HOO
on harbor improvements.
