THE PRINTING MUDDLE.
The death of Stale Printer Duni
way leaves the affairs of the public
printing1 oIice in a liadly muddled
condition a condition which might
easily have hecn avoided had a cow
ardly legislature and an autocratic
(iovenior only listened to the advice
of Mr. Duniway and an overwhelm
ing majority of the practical pi inters
of the state. The existing condition
is the result of "too much law."
In 1911 the legislature passed a
law placing the stale printer on a
Hat salary, purchasing a printing
plant, and giving the Governor pow
er to appoint (the printer. The law
was to become effective January 1,
!)!."), or upon the occurrence of a va
cancy in the olliee of state printer.
This mischievous measure, which
might eventually throw the gates
wide open to unlimited extravagance
and possible graft, was not looked
upoih with any great degree of favor
hy the legislature and for a time the
fate of the hill was extremely
doubtful. It was then that (lovernor
West, yielding to pressure brought
by certain interested labor agitators,
threw the powerful influence of bis
olliee in favor of the passage of the
bill. Threatening the legislature
with a veto of the general appropria
tion' bill unless bis wishes were com
plied with, he succeeded in fright
ening a siillicient number of weak-
kneed members of that body to give
the measure the votes necessary to
bring about itn passage. This law
provided that the newly-created
printing board should not only take
charge of the public printing, but
that the state should buy a plant for
the printer as well.
The last legislature enacled a law
placing it he printer on a Hat salary
and providing that the slale printing
shall be done bv contract alter Jan
uary 1, I!)."). The bill of 1!JU was
rejM'aled, but (he repealing measure
was vetoed by (jovernor Wesl.
Kvidently anticipalini: bis earlv
death, or foreseeing some such emer
gency as exists at the present time,
Slale IVinter Duniway counselled the
legislature to pass the hill over the
veto of the (Jfivernor, and the lower
house did so. The Senate, however,
sustained the veto.
As a result, the state now has (wo
IMioiuifi oiws one providing mat a
printing plant shall be purchased at
once, and the other requiring (.hat all
public! printing shall Im' done bv con
tract alter January 1, 11)1."). it will
be seen, therefore, (hat it is now up
to the board to buy a plant, notwith
standing the fact that the slate will
have mi use for it after the end of
the coining year.
In addition to saddling a debt of
nondescript apples doesn't bear any
comparison with a community devot
ed (o the Spitzenburg, Winesap or
Wagener. There is more permanent
profit in carloads of uniformly bred
Shorthorns or IJerkshircs than in tbe
production of mongrel herds of cat
tle and hogs.
The passing is to be noted now and
forever in the history of the Pacific
nortnwesr oi tne idea that anv man
can raise anything on any section of
its territory, as well as of the idea
that any man can get rich in farm
ing. The successful settler hence
forth must lie tbe maifwho is will
ing and capable of choosing well, lis
tening well, working well and keep
ing everlastingly at it The farmer
can have no higher ambition, nor for
that matter can any other man, than
that or making a good living for his
family and laving up something for
the rainy day. It is also becoming
vident that the path of safety for
the farmer is never to forget, year
in and year out, that it is up to him
to make all of the family living that
he can practically out of his laixl
while pursuing his specialty in farm
ing.
The national department of agri
culture, the stale department of ag
riculture, the agricultural colleges
and experiment stations and all tbe
agents for the development of the
agricultural resources of the Pacific
northwest can do no more effective
work along permanent lines than to
carry on surveys winch shall indicate
the sections best adapted to engage
ini them resjieetively.
In other words the sectionali.ing
of agriculture is in these latter days
the end and aim of agricultural
progress.

THE WEST'S FUTURE.
Not exploiters nor rainbow chas
ers, hut sensible forecasters of the
future, Secretary Daniels of the na
val department and Secretary Lane
of the department of the interior
have given out that which to any
community means value untold.
Secretary Daniels, after visiting
Portland says that while the Pacific
coast cities have made wonderful
growth, yet this is bagatelle in com
parison with the growth that lies be
fore them after the opening of (he
Panama canal.
Secretary Lane in speaking of the
great Alaskan territory has faith
that, if congress will appropriate the
money to build an Alaskan railroad,
the two following years will see an
Alaskan immigration of permanent
settlers that "will pale into signifi
cance the rush to government lands
within the nation itself."
These are statements from practi
cal men of sound judgment. They
are acquainted with conditions m the
regions of which they speak. They
are simply expressing their honest
convictions of their sober judggment.
We have known such conditions for
a long time, yet are pleased that they
are seriously considered.
