A WORTH WHILE THOUGHT
A USTIN Z. GRIFFITHS has struck note that
Is worthy of some thought

A USTlN f. GRIFFITHS has struck note that
"A Is worthy Of some thought.
1--WE have had too much turmoil over petty
things" said Griffiths. Nov is the time for con-
sructive work, for peace in city affairs, for real
progress and development"
Griffiths has been an active factor in civic
affairs in Seattle. AS councilman and as chief of
police, as well as private citizen, he has stamped
himself an earnest wisher of the public welfare.
Now he is candidate for mayor.
There is food for much reflection when he
says that there is no 'hgh-andow tax" issue at
stake in the coming election. Equally, there is
good deal of thought due to his statement that
municipal ownership" is no real issue.
To Grffiths' mind the city's chief need is
peace.
This thought is we'll worth considering.
IT'S SAID congress will increase the income tax.
This is than acceptable IL they will also increase
the incomes.
THE TIME fellow appreciates the value of
money is after It's gone.

Rheuma. Use as directed and your

Rheuma will put your kidneys and
