ECONOMY IN THE I EGISLATURE IN THESE days of higher taxation there is an ex cellent opportunity for the legislators of our state to save many thousands of dollars to the taxpayers without in the least decreasing the efficiency of government. Will they do it, or was their pre-election utterances about working for the interests of the people all bosh? Keep an eye on them and remember their actions for future use. ONE WAY of saving money without loss of effi ciency is to consolidate some of the commissions: for instance, Dairy and Food Commissioner and the State Sealer of Weights and Measures should be under one head. Insurance, State Banks, and Corporations could also be consolidated. Educational Boards and Regents could be cut out and one board of three men could easily handle the educational work of the state at a saving of two or three hundred thousand dollars. Land boards and water commissioners could be consol idated also, and so on along the line. A million dol lars could be saved to the people of the state without the loss of one cent’s worth of serv ice and efficiency. The opportunity is there, will they grasp it? Fallacious Restrictive Policies Northwestern brick layers, plaster ers and stonecutters in convention at Spokane decided to raise wages t . ?7 a day for eight hours and pay and a half for overtime, Result of this will be to restrict the building operations largely to lumber, steel and concrete construction where machinery is employed and machine made material is used Refusal of unions to allow young men to learn trades at bricklaying, plaster ing, stone cutting and similar trades reduces numbers following these trades to a minimum. Stonerutting as a trade is becoming extinct becanse unions have raise I wa ges so high that artificial stone an 1 machine products take their place. Present scale os wages in these I nil I ing trades are $6 a day, and when de mand exceeds supply as high as $7 t<> $10 a day are paid. Artificial and arbitrary demands for higher wages restrict employment in hundreds of smaller places and ranch ers no longer have any brick or stone building done. Pacific Coast Manufac- t irer.

We take this opportunity to extend to our friends and patrons our best wishes for a Happy 'and prosperous New Year. Soap an Antiseptic. May 1917 be the best year of all: may its blessings enter into .your vocations and extend to your family and may health and good cheer be your lot during its every day, and may we realize before its close that “The World is Growing Better.” Sincerely yours, Some medical authorities, explaining the abatement of epidemic diseases In modern years, are sufficiently free from professional ties to attribute this betterment of conditions not to med- leal science, but to the increased use of soap and water. The Homeopathic Envoy is of the opinion that with a clean house and u dean person no one need have much fear of infection. A writer in the New York Medical Rec ord says: “Soup Is now recognized to be antiseptic and to be efficacious must produce u lather. Bacteria rubbed Into soap or dropped on Its surface are in capable of multiplication. The typhoid bacillus Is very sensitive to soap, being killed by a 5 per cent solution In a short Lime. More than half tlie total number will die in one minute, Thu thorough use of a pure potash soap is uot only a mechanical method ofcleans Ing, but is an active factor hi cutting duwu germ life.” Taylor- Williams Co. i i ! 1 The People's Store Phone 142 Th» Arabic Language. Though the Arabs number less than tho population of London, their lan guage is one of the most widely spoken and influential in the world, for it is the language of the Koran.
