SPOILERS" STILL
 FIRST PLACE FOR
 MODERN PICTURES
Presentation of Famous Rex Beach Novel is Met With Well Come. Picture Loses None of Its Worth by Repititlon.

The trouble with nnety-nine per cent of the motion pictures shown on the screens. is that they will not bear repitition Co the same audience, hgs been a frequent complaint against the wordless drama. The one per cent, however proves the rule and a part of that small end of the-whole, is now in the Warren District in the Spoil ers."
 This masterpiece Of Iction perhaps the best that Rex E. Beach ever wrote. has been taken by the Selig people and made a thing of life. Beach's original version Of the won derful tale of the Midas mine was brought up where the story was weak and the strong features of the original manuscript lost no effect in the film. ing.
 For "The Spoilers" can be seen asain and again and 1t is hard to con cciye of anyone tiring of its preserta- ton. It has the human elements that appeal lt has the punch" which grips the interest from the very start and leaves just enough Co the imagina. ton to cnthral th audience.
 Glenuister and NcNamara are strong characters. They are oppositos Of course but each. both in the novel and in the film dramadzation, stand out as rocks along a sandy coast. In fr. g-ff. y.f,trr. +I,o ,trgvI- gF Nr-fIIfart, Farnum as Glennister and T, Sant- schi can hardly be surpassed Ire characters clash continually but final ly meet iO the final And it is this fight alone which could carry the eH. tire weight of the production. lt is wonderful. both in its conception and ! its performance. For 1t is real.
 The work of Cherry Malotte, how ! ever, in the person Of Miss Kathlyu Williams, stands head and shoulders above all The character of Cherry Is. perhaps the most beloved of mod ern fictitious women She is a mod ! em Becky Sharpe with none of the inherent meannesses Of Thackery's l character She is real and the robe ! of an angel seems to have spread it self around the shoulders of an adveu turess in the character
 The Spoilers" is well worth seeing It's in pictures of course. but tha matters little, for 1t is doubtful if tn, novel could be handled on the leeiN mate stage The films will be show again today at the Lowell theatre both afternoon and evening.

Councilman Haas declared that
the rate of taxes is lower this year

valuation OF property has been de-
clared higher by the county as.
SCISSOR and consequently the amount
of taxes runs higher In many cases.

HOW IT STANDS
ON CITY LOANS
Editor The Star

Editor The Star:
Kindly allow ne space 10 correct
some statements which you make
In your issue OF Feb. regarding
the attitude OF the Chamber or
Commerce concerning the loanlng
OF city money from ono fund to
another.
am certain from the fair tenor
OF your article. is Chamber
Right that you have no intention
OF mlsrepresenting tho Chamber OF
Commerce attitude upon this Inn.
portaut question OF municipal
finance and that you were not fully
informed when you said that the
chamber has recommended tina, a
law should be passeu TO prevent
the city from borrowing from one
fund for another.
The recommendation Of the tar.
alton bureau. as adopted by the
trustees, was that n Law be passed
TO prevent the diversion OF the trust
funds of the city by the city couro
ell. Bond money voted BY the
people for a specific purpose and
local Improvement money come I'M
der this head. Such a law. how
ever. would not prevent loanins
money from the general fund e
build a dixie at Oxbow or for any
other emergency purpose. The
bulk of city funds would still be
available for such manipulation a.
suggested In the Emerson report
although manipulation of funds has
proved to be dangerous when prac
tlced by men unskilled In finance
Home Rule Not Factor
The chamber does not favor al
lowing bond money 20 lie In the
banks drawing only per cent for
an indefinite length of time. The
chamber has repeatedly recommend
ed 10 the city council that the bondf
be withheld from sale until the
money Is needed for the purpose
for which they are voted. thus saw
ing the accumulated interest to the
taxpayers.
Home rule does not enter properly
into the discussion AZ this time, for
II uOes NOV fAlsA- luH city Council
derives its authority for makins
loans from one fund TO another from
state law as interpreted by the 81
preme court. Limitations TO that
authority can be effective only wher
embodied In state Law. in the alb.
sence OF legislative authority TO
home rule.
The Chamber OF Commerce has
the same interest in this matter
that every citizen OF Seattle has
for every citizen is a taxpayer. Our
aim In TO put n check on the in.
creasing tax rate OF Seattle by en-.
forcing correct methods OF financ
ing. Very respectfully yours.

Secretary Bureau OF Taxation
