Erickson Measure Not a
Safe Step Now; Vote mo"
(EDIToRIAL)

The Star for many months has been printing all the
facts bearing the Erickson carfare measure which
it could gather.
The Star has printed also many columns Of citizens
opinions and arguments representing every conceivable
angle Of the controversy over the 'threecent' plan
Trained from taking Sides However. We have reached
some definite conclusions
Councilman Erickson, his critics In this campaign to
the contrary Is of the most intel
Hgent and public spirited In the city government.
He Is often right public issues any other
Gilman. But this time The Star must disagree with
him. In this newspapers opinion his Proposition A
should be defeated.
Oddly enough, Councilman Ericksons theory the
way out Of our street railway trouble is one thing and
his written remedy another. lie believes he tells The
Star that all Seattle property because it benefits d
recty from the presence in the city of street railway,
should pay the costs of installing that system Then
he would charge the of the the actual cost
of operating them.
But when he came TO submit plan embodying this
principle to the voters he found it could not legally be
accomplished. Hence he had to turn the idea around.
Now he is the ballot with initiative measure
which & asks the property owner to pay the orEkn fr
quirng the system. In other words. he Is attempting
to place almost twice much load on the taxpayer as
he justify by his reasoning
Councilman Erickson Is in an inconsistent position
in another particular. too. II his theory (hat the
property should the cost of acquiring the
systems presence in the city, is sound then the same
theory ought to be invoked in the of the water
plant and in the OF the electric plant and In the
of every public utility.
But Councilman Erickson never has invoked them
in those In fact, his theory is revolutionary
proposal revolutionary for Seattle, revolutionary In
the whole history of American municipalities.
Perhaps even in the face of these facts Seattle could
with good results try the experiment he suggests
UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. If our tax rate
were way low, If business conditions normal or
booming if seemed greatly desirable to exploit and
advertise the fact that Seattle had the lowest existing
carfare rate then The Star see that it MIGHT
favor the Erickson plan.
But tax rate is not low 1t is high business con-
ditions neither normal nor boomng-they are con-
vaescent after long. hard period of readjustment
il is a lot essential right now that we MAINTAIN
all present industries and bring in new ones If pos
sibe than it is to attract here lot more people merely
to enjoy the thrill of three-cent car riding.
There is dodging the stubborn fact An addition
of 20 mills on our present tax levy UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS would be runous.

CATALOGUEING BOOKS
 AT WILLIAMS LIBRARY

Miss Gordon, librarian of the Williams Public Library, Is ar ranging to list all books in the library in card catalogue. Heretofore the books have not been catalogued and as result it has been impossible to keep an accurate tab on them. One desiring a book must needs hunt until finding it. With the new card system it will be pos sible to locate any book desired with minimum of trouble and it will be possible to find at a glance whether any desired book is Gin" or "out".
 The task Miss Gordon is un- dertaking is a very large one but when accomplished it will make the library much more useful and valuable. In fact this will put it on par with large city libraries for efficient and convenient usefullness--up to it's capacity. Nearly three thousand cards will be used in -catalogueing the books, which fact proves that the library has 9 very large number of books for a small town. Williams may well be proud of her : library.

Tragedy Narrowly Averted.

What might have been a very sad tragedy was narrowly averted last week in the home of MT. and Mrs. Harold Greene. Early Wednesday morning the children with their dressing her dress caught on fire in the back from a very hot stove. Little Barbara was the first to discover the blaze. She screamed and called her moth CTS attention to the fire. Mrs. Greene rushed into the kitchen where her husband was firing the kitchen stove. By this time the entire back of her dress was in flames. MT. Greene rushed to her assistance and first tried to beat out the flames with his hand but with out success. He then threw his wife on the floor and rolled her in rug with the result that the flames were quickly smoth- cred.
 Mrs. Greene escaped without serious injury altho her dress was ruined the entire back be- ing burned out. MT. Greene suffered very painful burns on his hands sustained while trying to beat out the blaze with them. One does not like to contem- plate what might have been the result had not MT. Greene bee: present.

Commenting on the satisfact- ion derived from the use of a uniform motor fuel, the Nation al Petroleum News published in Cleveland O., eXtolS the merits of Red Crown Gasoline, stating that the popularity of this fuel is due to none other than it's uniformity and the service it renders to motorists.
 Petroleum News says, in part
 It has long been recognized that one of the chief reasons for the large sales of Red Grown Gasoline over the country IS that this product is practically unIIOrm that the mOtOrlSt can adjust his carburetOr to Red Grown in one state and drive practically throughout the Unit ed States without changing the adjustment.
 While individual jobbers in all marketing territories sell high grade gasoline, the varl- ance between the product put out by one jobber and another and between the products put out in different states by differ ent jobbers is so great that many motorists prefer sticking to the Standard product when on a long tour rather than talk ing the trouble to make con- stant readjustments of their carburetor, due to the differ ences in gasoline they encount- CT" .tt
