COIN COMES
ROLLING in
Everett Goes Down Deep
Into Its Pockets in Re-
sponse to Appeal to Civ
ic Pride

Once more the Everett spirit-that
quality of citizenship that has made
Everett the best little ely in the North
west-hhs risen to the occasion and
given demonstration to her neighbors
of what civic pride can do. The raising
of fifty thousand dollars by popular
subscription in the city of twenty five
thousand people for any cause and at
any time is a remarkable thing. Under
the circumstances surrounding this un-
dertaking it is little short of marvel
Gus. Look at the situation. Everett
decides through majority of her voters
to eliminate the saloon business. She
finds herself in consequence, many
thousands of dollars short of money
necessary to run the city owing to the
limitations of her charter and the fact
that when the 1911 budget was pre-
pared no one foresaw The impending fin
ancial stringency. American politics fur
nish no more bitter contests than those
over the wet and dry issue. Bad feel
ing engenders. Fuel is heaped to the
flames of discomfort by the sudden cut
ting off of very necessary departments
of the city. Every proposed plan of
raising the necessary revenue is vigor-
ously knocked The courts knock out
the 5-mil tax levy. Taxpayers declare
their intention of bitterly contesing the
proposed occupation tax. A spirit of
irritation spreads quickly and just as
things look desperate, wholesome,
common sense suggestion is made that
Irestores riotous citizenship to its men
tai balance. Somebody says "the mon
ey has got be raised; its childish to
be snarling and scrapping like quarrel
some children; we brought this condl-
ton about, let's get out of it; we want

NIGHT SCHOOL BRINGS
GRATIFYING RESULTS
Experiment Made by Everett School Board Brings
Results Highly Satisfactory-Successo OF Term Just
Closed Guarantees Particular Attention to this Fea-
ture Next Year

and women are "but children of larg-
er growth and if we write of them
we shall not be so very far off. 1t is
of the night school term just closed
that we want to talk.
If you haven't met Mr.. Frazier, the
city superintendent of schools, you
should cultivate his acquaintance. For
the story of the night school and its
splendid work is story of his vision
of what the functions of the school
system should be- Not only place
to teach 'the tender mind how to
shoot" but an institution in which the
man and woman deprived in early years
of the chance to acquire an education,
NAV gain that boon. And bear in mind,
and this is the cruX of the idea, Mr..
Frazier's idea of an education is a
trained hand and eye as well as a
trained mind. Industrial education, in
short. If you have a square hole,
whittle a square peg to fit it. Give to
the young man and woman, or to the
man and woman of mature years, a
practical knowledge of trade or busi-
ness occupation, add to that knowl-
edge of books and of affairs, and you
lay the groundwork for broader citi-
zenship, better standard of life, a
keener conception of the duties each
owes to society.
Shortly before Christmas the school
board authorized the formation of a
night school to last three months. 1t
was something of an experiment but
the board was not averse to expert
menting along the line of broader edu-
cation. Mr.. Roberts, the principal of
the High school, was given active
charge and he must not be omitted
from the honor list. Earnest, con-
scentious and able, he has entered into
the full spirit of the undertaking. In
all some five hundred students have
been enrolled in the different depart
ments at not dollar of cost to them
Each student was required to deposit
two dollars as a guarantee of a return
of the books at the conclusion of the
term. When the books were returned
the deposit was returned to each stu
dent.
The writer in company with two
friends visited the school one evening
recently. and were shown by Mr.
Frasier through the several depart.

CIVIL SERVICE. or

We would not for moment cast any
reflection upon the ability nor integ-
rity of Slim Holberg. Everybody knows
"Slim" and knows he is a good patrol
man, uses good Judgment, is good fell
low off or on his beat. So don't imagine
we are knocking Holberg. What we
arise to speak about is the way Civil
Service works out in our fair, young
city. Six patrolmen are laid off for
want of funds. No charges, no hearing,
just laid off. The boys affected would
call it Canned" but "laid off" suits the
administration better. Then an 1S-
year old boy is put on as patrol wagon
driver. One of the boys laid off thought
of? Nope. Incompetent to act as
chauffeur. Well, johnson had to learn
didn't he? English gets a long lay-off
Hull promoted to his job. Vacancy on
the beat. One of the six men "laid off
put back on beat? Nope; Holbere
gets it. Now, if we are really and truly
under civil service rules it would seem
that priority of service should have gov
erned in filling vacancies. The men
weren't charged" with anything as
civil service rules demand must be done
before removals can be made Civil ser
vice seems to be considerable of a joke
in Everett.

Business men of Chehalic and Cen
tralia are up in arms over the alien Ia
Dor question and are refusing to rent
or lease land or buildings to the un'
desirables from Southern Europe. Ev-
erett citizens should wake up to the
fact that it is getting quite a problem
of its own, and if We stop and count
noses a surprise would be in store to1
some of us. What's the matter of pass
ing up the business man who employs
that class of labor to the exclusion OF
white workingmen?

person from work for a limited length
of time, the compensation is for the
first six months, running from the date
of the injury, and payable at the end
per month; for married workmen with
no children under 16 years, $3.50 per
month. If the injured workman has a
wife or invalid husband and one child
under 16 years, compensation shall be
$45 per month, and if two children,
$3.50 per month, which is the limit,
but in no case under this head shall the
workman receive more than 60 per cent
of the wages he or she was earning at
the time of the injury, the daily age
being multiplied by 26 to find the
monthly earnings of the workman. The
above amounts may not seem large to
some people, but ] think all will agree
that it is a fair start in the right di-
rection, and future legislatures can rem
edy any defects in the present law on
this point. The best part of the whole
scheme to my mind is the fact that pay
ments will be prompt when payments
are most needed, and without those long
drawn out suits, lasting. in some in
stances for years, and almost invariably
ending disastrously for the workmen.
To the Public.
The Legislature appropriated S150,000
as the administration fund, which I
think every one will agree was the
proper thing to do for two reasons:
First: 1t makes this department a
state institution, thereby giving a guar
antee of safety to the employer for the
money he is compelled to pay into the
state treasury, and also gives a guar
antee to the workman that his pay
ments will be promptly made when mis-
fortune overtakes him through an in
dust'rial accident.
Second 1t is estimated tina the state
and the various counties will save
through court costs, jury fees, judges
salaries and all the other expenses in
cidental to the trying of personal dam
age suits approximately 100000 per
year. If that is so, then the state can
well afford to pay the administration
expenses of this department, and still
be winner.
Hoping that the foregoing synopsis
will place before the people clearer
view of the compensation law, yours
very truly,
PETER HENRETTY,
Secretary Compensation Commission.

What do you really know about your
school system in Everett? VI course
YOU know that you have splendid nigh
school building-one that would be Il
credit to any city in the eountry-an
efficient corps of teachers conscien-
tious school board and so on. That
is general information that all possess
and we are very proud to be told that
no city of its size surpasses ours IN gem
eral excellence of it's school system.
But what do you know of the real in
ner workings? What kind of future
citizens and citizenesses are being put
through the formative process? What
kind of a determining factor is our
public school system in the everyday
life of our eommunity2
To know that it is necessary to per-
sonally visit the institutions. Hearsay
evidence isn't either Illuminating or
satisfactory. We have long recognized
the public school system in a general
way as being highly socialized and as
representing the best that is in Ameri-
can life. 1t is far cry though from
the educational institution of today
back to the little, red schoolhouse OF
generation or so ago. We are wont
to compare modernism with the past
to the detriment of the former and be-
moan the good, old days when the three
RS were ground into lis with the aid
of section of good hickory. "Those
were the days when we learned some
thing" 1--WE didn't acquire super
ficial knowledge, then" we term our
present educators ''faddists" and "theo-
rists." And to some extent there may
be cause for the complaint that pres
ent day methods are more theoretical
than practical. But lest we run away
with the firm belief that our schol
system is going to the dogs it may be
we'll to investigate. And after investi-
CATION we may find that it is not all
frills and frappery, but that there is
an intelligent, earnest force at work
which is taking the raw material and
moulding it into a finished product
which shall be destined to leaven the
nation.
We gave you the impression when we
started out that we were going to tell
you about the school boys and girls
We will, in some future article, but
just now we claim the license of the
after-dinner speaker to totally ignore
the subject assigned to him. Yet men

to live here tomorrow and the day aft
er; let's appeal to the civic pride of the
men and women of Everett and raise
this money by popular subscription
The originator of the popular subscrip-
tion idea knew something of human ma
ture people. We're all Gust folks" and
pretty good at heart, but we do resent
something forced on us in the way of
taxation, particularly when we have q
sneaking conviction that ''the other fel.
low is to blame for bringing the oner-
Gus conditions about. The average fel-
low isn't a bad kind of citizen at all
if you strike him right and down in his
heart he has love for the city of his
choice and its public institutions. He
knows too, if you can get his reasoning
faculties to working instead of his pre-
judices that his prosperity as an indi-
vidual is nightly dependent upon the
prosperity of the city en- masse. That
the whole secret of civic pride, folks, its
intelligent selfishness, but intelligent
selfishness is a might important factor
for good in this old world of ours.
The response to the solicitations of
the Business Mems association has been
prompt and generous. And through it
all the good feeling that has prompted
the givers has been the big thing. 1t
has given us Confidence confidence to
tackle other civic problems and there are
lots of them to tackle, folks. Let's APP
proach them in the same spirit-the be-
lief that there is way out and the de-
termination to find that way together.
