adapted to the special needs of Seattle by

months in it's study and in patient working out

It's budget was drafted by committee made
up of some of the fairest minded and ablest
business men of Seattle. The amount was
slashed to the limit, the committees idea being
to add no new undertaking and to do no build
/ Ing this coming year, but to carry on only the
essential work OF the various agencies The
amount agreed upon, including an allotment to
meet emergency needs, was $744,0O0. And after
more than week of effort Seattle has failed
to raise even thirds of that sum!

II Seattle is to progress? And how will
we ever face the outside world ii news goes
forth that Seattle in the year of our Lord,
1922 failed to support 46 of it's chief charities?
THIS DAY MARKS A CRISIS IN THE HIS
TORY OF SEATTLE; THAT is WHY THE
STAR USES THIS SPACE TO EMPHASIZE
THE NEED.
TODAY, we urge you, LEND A HAND! If you
are one of those who for any reason has neg
lected to give, GIVE TODAY If your contribu-
tion has been less than you now feel you might
have given increase it. If you are one of that
great middle body of fine Americans who are
represented in the group that did give to the
maximum, we know that you will just naturally
find some way to enlarge your contribution
without our suggesting it; for that's the sort
of folks you are. 80

cumStanceS.

Remember, this represents your giving for an
entire year to 46 Tor as many as you may desig-
nate) of Seattle's charity agencies.
Remember that it does not call for cash. You
may pay quarterly or monthly, as you choose,
during 1922. 1t is your pledge that is wanted.
Remember the need and the shortness of the
time.
And remember that Thursday is Thanksgiv-
ing Day and you will want to celebrate it with
a heart full of human kindness.

"HERE are reasons why the money mas
come in slowly. Some persons have not
= given at all simply because the volunteer
canvassers have failed to reach them. Others
have not given because they were not accus-
toned to giving for charity in systematic
way.
And many many others have given only
fraction of the amount the cause deserves.
Some because they did not stop to realize the
urgency of the need or the magnitude OF the
undertaking. They gave as if it were for one
agency rather than 46. They did not stop to
think how easy it would be to give largely to
the community chest when they would be re-
lieved of As calls later in the year.
And then, of course there were the slackers.
Some refused to contribute at all on the ground
that they disliked this or that organization
among the 46. THEY SANG THEIR PETTY
HYMNS OF HATE TO CAMOUFLAGE
THEIR STINCINESS.
Among this number, The Star regrets to
record, were not few of the wealthy leaders
of the community. For instance, the multimil-
lionaire who gave a miserly $1,000 when he
should have given twenty-five times that sum.
What has happened is shown by these figures:
Last year 5000 Seattleites gave S900,000; now
$4,000 Seattleites, including the same 5000, have
given $450,000! Some of the wealthy, we re-
peat, who have been carrying the load Ito their
credit), this year have seized upon the COM
munity chest as pretext for Stacking.
But they are not the only ones; there have
been slackers of $40 denomination as well as
slackers of $4,000 denomination.

HAYS PLAN OPPOSED.
Bankers Do Not Favor Interest
Rate Increase.

The proposed increase from 2 to 8
per cent in the rate Of interest on
postal savings bank deposits, as
urged by Postmaster General Hays,
was opposed yesterday by bankers ap-
pearing before the House post Office
committee.
Discussing tho departments state
ment that the increase would have
a tendency to attract money now
hidden away in the home. Henry n.
Mckee. a Washington banker, said
he doubted IL large sums were con-
cealed under carpets and in old socks.
Mr.. Mckee declared he had never
been able to verify reports that a
large part Of the money used by poor
people for purchase Of Liberty bonds
had been taken from hiding places
in the home. insisting that most Of
such subscriptions had been deducted
from pay rolls.
Witnesses for savings banks. op-
posed the increase and q provision
in the bill which would permit q
higher maximum Of deposits and also
joint accounts. Mr.. Mckee contended
the latter was calculated to encour-
age fraud.

sitions they hold in their native coun-
tries. When the conference formally

delegates will be studied.
