S,MOUT WILL FIGHT
FOR LOWER TAXES

Win the war is the one big work
to be done by the nation. Everett
and Snohomish County never Jagged
in war work. This community is
however confronted with another is
sue, that is taxes. With tax rate
of 62.3 levy upon the property of
Everett it is time those interested
in the welfare of the City and Coun-
ty should stir themselves. Such a
tax levy amounts to practically con-
fiscation. Charles S. Smout, Dem
ocratic Candidate for County Com
missioner is the only candidate for
County Commissioner who pledges
himself to reduce taxes. He should
be elected. A tax rate so unrea-
sonably high should be lowered. If
il is not lowered careful investors
will not be attracted to Everett. In
fact, it is cheaper to rent here now
than it is to own your own home.
There is no good reason why Ev-
erett has to pay higher taxes than
is paid by any other city in the
State Some new faces are needed
in the Court House. The one great
local question to settle on election
day is the question of lower taxes.
Elect Smout County Commissioner
and lessen your tax burden.

you that the list they are supporting
was secretly selected by group of
corporation attorneys in the back
room of some lawyers office.
There is just as much concerted
effort among this last group of in
dividuals to select judges that they
claim are right as there is among
the farming and the laboring and
the common people to select judges
whom they believe independent and
unpledged. If it is wrong for the
farmer and the laborer to decide
whom they think would make good
judges, it is just as wrong for these
other people to meet in secret and
select their candidates. They have
been doing this for years and that
is the reason why we have had so
many judges who have held good
laws unconstitutional and have con-
strued laws in such manner that
they became ineffective.

committee was so anxious to know
whether it was worth 5 per cent. At
the launching last Sunday some one
remarked that if that was the kind
of "know how" the ship-intwenty-
seven days kind - that the American
international was using at Hog Island
it would be cheap at 100 per cent.
There are those who say it is. Any
way, when last Sunday afternoon Ad-
miral Bowles, after mentioning that
the Tuckahoe builders were to get
silver medals from the Shipping Board
in recognition of their achievement.
said that he expected that he would
have the opportunity of giving Hog

CHARLES NJ. SCHWAB says that
\ the launching of the Tuckahoe
last Sunday was the hardest
blow that has been struck at the Ger
man Kaiser in many months.
Few events in these months crowded

American people.
There isn't single shipyard in
america that has not been overwhelmed

Steel ship in twenty-seven days.
The thing seems incredible. 1t is SO
lar separated from the nearest rival
mat it is in class by itself. There is
nothing to compare it with.
There were no predictions, no prelim-
mary "Creeling," no premature boast
ing. At first it was thought that the
aunching would be on Wednesday.

mat three days would be chopped off

The Tuckahoe was built in less than

two years ago this June recognized

and crafts exhibition. For the British
Government tardily recalled that fif-
teen years previous Germany had sent
large numbers of students to England
to assimilate English arts and crafts.
Returned to the Fatherland, they were
employed in the haiser's art and tech

learned to pupils whose attendance
was compulsory.

The work on this ship was laid out
by days. Such things were to be done
on such days. The gangs had def
mite schedule to work by. They knew
definitely whether they were doing
their part on time or not. Knowing
just what was required of them at and
in a given time, they could plan the
appropriate disposition of their own
efforts.
Then the material was laid out in

The Tuckahoe achievement is espe-
cially valuable as an object lesson be-
cause there was nothing artificial
about the method of construction.
Nothing was skimped to make speed.
Things were not left half done, to be
finished when the boat had been
launched. On the contrary, not only
was all work done we'll and thoroughly
but considerable part of the work
that is ordinarily left for the outfitting

Few silk or ribbon houses on Fourth
or Madison avenue are without de-
signers employed to originate or put
original designs, purchased from "free
lances," into workable shape for the
looms.
Screened from buyer or public, their
presence is little suspected. War con-
tinues to precipitate women to the fore
in textile and costume design. How
they are meeting the situation is des-
tined to make stimulating chapter
in the history Of our industrial art
renaissance, or rather naissanee.
One gifted woman designer, discov-
contest, is now in the employ of
leading silk house. More artist than
artisan, she found association with
fellow workers under clock surveillance
an inspiration killer. Conscious that
she was turning out poor work, she
pleaded to be released.
"Work in your studio" said her em-

Stage Contributes
to Costume Art
Unlike the French stage, Americas
ante-bellum theatrical stars have con-
tributed little or nothing original or
distinctive to fabric or costume art in
dustry. 1t remained for Leonore Ulrich
unwittingly to exploit to manufacturer
and designers profit a "Made in
U. S. A." gown. Edna Hartman, a
young art craftsman Of local training,
originated and executed in silk batik

silk chiffon in her own dye pots Miss
Hartman worked out her design. It's

He learned how the actress secured
the fabric and bought the design from
Miss Hartman for $3.50. Before thes

the market the silk house expended
close to 100000 in developing it. One

labored month in color and printing
experiments before the design was
ready for the machine.
Unique in the industrial art awaken
ing is the Monthly Journal of the
American National Museum of Arts
publication of timely fashion article,
illustrated in color. 1t is significant
that the modern costumes reproduced,
inspired by the museums primitive
documents, are largely the work of
women designers and were executed
by local manufacturers, wholesale and
retail, and are being exploited to-day
by leading merchants throughout the
country.

completion. 1t is estimated that it
will take only ten days to make the
Tuckahoe ready for sea.
When the triumph of the Tuckahoe
is pointed out to shipbuilding gangs
elsewhere it will be impossible for
them to say that there is about as
much analogy between her and other
building ships as between an ordinary,
everyday, pay-its-way farm and an ex-
perimental college demonstration plot.

The American-born children of these
artisans were loath long before the
wars outbreak to undergo the rigorous
apprenticeship that made their fore
bears expert. Had there been no world
war, our factories and mills would
have been forced as in the past to
continue to import designers and art
artisans as they did German dyes. For,
blind to the undeveloped wealth of our
native resources, to the native talent
lying fallow or going to seed for want
of encouragement, intelligent, techni-
cal education or market, the American
manufacturer, merchant, buyer, enam-

in quest of designs and models--an
outing that had become institutional
