Central Europe

To the People of Pullman and Com
munity:
There are three things to which I
should like to call your attention, in
connection with the Red Cross,
through the columns of The Herald.
First. An erroneous report has
appeared in various newspapers to
the effect that Miss Gertrude l..
Huntington had resigned as chair
man of the Spokane Chapter Of the
American Red Cross Because Of the
serious illness of Miss Huntingtons
mother and her manifold duties, she
felt it necessary to resign from the
board of directors of the social serv-
ice bureau of Spokane. Her resigna-
ton was not accepted. but she was
given a leave of absence. This was
misinterpreted, hence the report.
The social service bureau has no

SCHOOL LEVY CARRIES
BY BIG MAJORITY
Eight Hundred and SiXty-six Votes
Cast at Special Election, of Which
$50 We're Favorable to
Levy

The proposed additional levy of
was ratified by the citizens at the
special school election last Tuesday
by vote of $50 to 316. The total
vote, S66, was the largest by far
ever cast at a school election in
Pullman, and may be taken as a re-
liable criterion of the sentiment of
the people on the mooted question.
The special seven mill levy, together
with the funds available from other
sources, will give the district a total
of $50, $50 for next year, sum suf-
ficient to maintain the present stand
ard of the school without a reduc-
ton in salaries, and to provide the
funds necessary to open the Frank
lin building on Methodist hill to
take care of the overflow of pupils.
The election was the second on
the proposed levy within the month,
the first resulting in a victory for
the opponents of the levy, with less
than 200 votes cast. Much interest
was manifested in the election, sew
eral automobiles being kept busy
throughout the afternoon by both
the proponents and the opponents of
the proposed levy to carry voters to
the polls.

Clipped Here and There

Before the days of large government
tai expenditures, when congressional
appropriations were reckoned in mill
ions, not billions, the question of ex-
emptions was an academic one. Now,
however, the total of tax exempt Sc
curities has grown so large as to cause
concern, as well it might. What with
l8 billions of Liberty and Victory bonds
outstanding, one can get some concep-
tion of the enormity Of the problem,
and even then the tale is only partly
told. 1t is conservatively estimated
that 30 billions Uhe national wealth of
Japan is only approximately 25 bill
ions) is invested in tax exempt securi-
ties, and the printing presses are issu-
ing millions more daily. Obviously if
private initiative and industry are not
to be hampered, much less checked. II
halt must be made; otherwise we shall
soon drift into state of socialism
with the government running every
thing. This, of course. is un-American
and would not be tolerated for one
moment. Both England and Canada
have sensed this danger, and in Canada
the policy of exemption has been abol-
ished without detriment to the stabil-
ity of government bond issues, while
in England the income from govern
ment securities issued before and dur
ing the war is taxable except to non
residents. The situation as it exists in
this country at the present time is
such that five per cent tax-exempt
security will yield to a wealthy man as
great return as a business enterprise
paying from IL to II per cent.
While electric public utilities have
been able to raise many millions
through the sale of securities locally to
employees and patrons of the company
for the erection of new stations and
transmission lines, they must look to
wealthy capitalists for a greater por-
tion of the funds. Hence the necessity
of change in system of taxation
which forces the investment of large
fortunes in taX-eYempt securities.
Within a reasonable time, when the in
dustries of the country shall move up
ward, the sum total of the financial
needs of electric public utilities will
be very great. To the extent that
utilities are hampered in obtaining the
necessary capital by the competition of
tax-exempt securities will municipali-
ties and states be encouraged and
stimulated to embark in quasi-public
enterprises, many of which will ulti-
mately end in disaster. The function
of government is to regulate and not
operate and we cannot cure too much
government with more government.
BY placing the income from all bonds
on a parity, the slogan of LESS gov
eminent in business and more business
in government" will be made effective.
