BY F. C. KNAPP.
Hufftdent of the Peninsula Lumber com
pany and vice-president of the Peninsula
National bank.
In the former discussions of the
"Own Tour Own Home" movement
more stress has been laid on the so
cial and patriotic significance than
on the economic phase. And rightly
so, for among the many lessons of the
war none has been more strongly
brought home to uri than that of the
importance i a nation of being a
home-owning poople.
The French army, holding out
against irresistible odds, fought for
France and its homes. Five millions
of Frenchmen own their farms. The
immortal phrase, "They shall not
pass," was the Frenchman's expres
sion of his uttermost determination
to protect his home.
The reason America has made such
wonderful accomplishments during
tire past century and a half is quite
largely due to the fact that our fore
fathers pinned their faith to the home
and that wo are but a few genera
tions from that rugged start.
Rome Foe to "lams."
However, we cannot deny that we
have been drifting away from this
rock of salvation; therefore, it is
time for us to sound the alarm in
order that we may assist in every
possible way to plant in the minds of
true Americans a desire of home
ownership.
When home ownership is firmly im
bedded in the minds of the people of
this country many of the "isms" now
floating like thistle seeds before our
eyes will disappear never to return.
In regard to the lumber business
the home building movement is bound
to have a marked effect upon the ac
tivity of the western mills. The trees
of the middle states have largely dis
appeared. The forests of the south
land are rapidly melting away, leav
ing but a small area of the United
States in the Pacific northwest from
which this material can be obtained.
This northwest timber district must
furniBh not alone her quota of Amer
ica's needs, but she must also supply
to a very large extent the lumber re
quirements of the whole world, for
Norway and Sweden have been large
ly depleted of their timber supply and
Russia, which until recently was fur
nishing one-half of the lumber im
ported by England, France, Italy, Ger
many and other countries, will not be
able to assist with her timber crop
for many years to come.
Prosperity Is Expected.
Looking at the home-building
movement from the standpoint of na
tional prosperity, it is impossible to
believe that any act of the American
people can excel the results of this
work if it is properly carried on, for
it will accomplish two great objects
(a) Solidarity of our people on t
stable foundation; (b) Active employ
ment for a huge army of Industrial
workers.
It is estimated that America today
needs 500,000 additional homes. If we
would start tomorrow with a well
defined two-year programme of build
ing and completing these homes, we
would find that the gathering to
gether of the raw material and the
working of that raw material into
completed buildings would create
payroll sufficient to support 6,000,000
people during the entire two-year
Deriod.
What more fitting second chapter
to the war could we write than this
programme? What better answer
than this could be given the cry of
the agitator? What higher ideal do
we need than the re-adoption of those
principles of our forefathers which
were responsible for the foundation
upon which our nation rests, for ver
ily those men were home builders.
13 DENY SYNDICALISM
Alleged I. W. W. Plead Xot Guilty
In' Montesano Court.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 19. (Spe
cial.) Thirteen alleged I. W. W.,
charged with criminal syndicalism,
came into Judge Sheek's court at
Montesano today and pleaded "not
guilty." The date of their trials was
fixed as January 29. None of the
men had an attorney, so the court
named A. E. Cross, city attorney of
Aberdeen, to defend them.
The accused men are Joe Hembei-
ter; John Bradshaw, George Miller,
Stanley Newitt, Sidney L. Scott, Elmer
Salento, George Brobic, Anti Koe,
Hjelmar Kho, Emit Boetcher, Ernest
Lento, Otto Kallio and August Mai
kula.
ABERDEEN STILL SEIZED
50-Gallon Tank Found In Cellar
Under Chicken Coop.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 19. (Spe
cial.) The largest still ever seized by
officers on Grays Harbor was conns
cated in a raid by the police depart
ment on the property of James Wilder
in the Sixth-avenue gulch. The still
which was concealed and operated in
a cellar beneath a chicken coop, is a
50-gallon copper tank, well con
structed, except that a lead pipe coil
instead of copper was used for con
densing.
Lead coils have been held largely
responsible for the heavy poisoning
record made in this section. The po
lice have been unable to locate
Wilder.
ROAD BILL CHAMPIONED
Governor Urged Not to Veto Meas
ure for Dayton-Salem Road.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 19. (Special.)
A delegation of citizens interested in
the success of the bill including the
road from Dayton to Salem in the
state highway programme came here
today in an effort to save the meas
ure from executive veto.
There were a dozen or more of
these road bills passed In the closing
hours of the special session, but as
yet the governor has given no inti
mation as to wnether he will sign
them. Close political friends of the
governor say he will sign the road
bills, however, in the entire state
highway programme.
