You're Right, MIR. Lunan,
II is a Joke!

CHAIRMAN CHARLES A. LUNAN of
the knights of Pythias taxation conference
Wednesday night was quite right when he
referred to the proposed nine-mill tax cut
by local officials as "a joke"
1t is joke.
Nine mills is but drop in the bucket.
What Seattle needs, to be on a par with
San Francisco, is a reduction of 40 MILLS.
FORTY MILLS-nothing less.
That sounds impossible, but it isn't.
Local officials must be made to cut ex-
penscs to the bone-and If they do, they can
cut the levy by Is to 18 mills! They may
cut il even a. much A. 20 mills.
That would be half the job.
The other half must be done by the legis-
lature and the governor. One billion dollars
of wealth now escapes taxation BY LAW.
The law must be changed. That wealth
should be on the taxroll, the same a. it is
in California, Oregon, New York, and else
where.
If we depend on local officials alone to
give US the 4O-mill cut we are entitled to,
we are merely kidding ourselves. If we de-
pend on the legislature alone, we are equally
foolhardy.
The buck must not be passed to either one
agency or the other.
BOTH AGENCIES MUST BE SET TO
WORK.
