The law Of averages Is mathematical
In its accuracy. When as scientifically
managed chain store system wants to
open new shop, 1t has "clockers"
count the passing crowds, to learn
what location has the most traffic
flowing past It's doors. 1t Is definitely
known that set percentage of the
passers-by will turn into the new
store This is the law Of averages
that, while thing may not happen
repeatedly, 1t will show up, on the
average, every-so-often. Gamblers use
the law of averages, figuring systems
to beat the bank at Monte Carlo. It
is law that should be taken into
consideration in all proposed under

TOIL-WEARY
Wife OF JAP
TAKES LIFE!
Years of Labor in
Puyallup Fields
Causes Suicide
of Mrs. TakaO

TACOMA, Nov. g
Heart sick and toll worn
from years of hard labor
in the fields Of the Puyal-
lup valley, Renuye Takao,
22, Japanese, took her
own life in an abandoned
house near Puyallup juno
ton last night. Her body
was found swinging at the
end of a rope this morn
ing.
II have been called to
heaven and must go right
away" said a note to her
husband, Jituso Takao,
found on the kitchen table
of the little Japanese
home near Fife, when he
returned from an all-night
search for his wife. Il
will wait for you in heav-
en-" said the note. "You
will find my body near
Puyallup junction"
The note was written in
Japanese. It was left on
the table for her husband,
but went unnoticed until
this morning.
Mrs. Takao was a pic
ture bride who came to
this country from Japan,
about six years ago. Her
husband has been work
ing for Japanese farmers
around Fife, and she has
been forced to get out into
the fields, as other Japa-
nese do, and do a mans
work with the men. This
drudgery, it is thought,
drove her to suicide.
There are no children.

Wrong Before
and Wrong Now
(EDrIORIAL)


THE Seattle school board in its propaganda campaign
against the 30-10 Initiative No. 46) has
charged that the plan would greatly increase Seattes
taxes The secretary of the board. Reuben w. Jones.
has consistently made the same argument.
When the 20-l0 plan up for passage, Mr.. Jones
equally pessimistic. At that time he predicted

wrong. Instead of the 20-10 plans adoption costing
Seattle 100000 additional In taxes the actual figures
for the fiscal years ending June 1921 and 1922
spectively, compiled by A. s. Burrows assistant
county superintendent, shows CREDIT TO SEAT
TIE OF $4,000! In the first mentioned year the
1910 plan In operation in the second, the 20l0
plan.
The Star believes that when the Seattle school board
and Mr. Jones talk about the 1910 plan costing
Seattle SS00,000 year. saying that it will greatly
increase taxes" they just about as far wrong.
The Star asks the school board TO state publicly II
II is not fact that the best figures available show the
change TO the 3010 plan would cost the Seattle dis
rict not to exceed $4,000. tre in comparison with
the districts st.000000 annual expenditures.
In other words that the 30-10 plan would DE-
CREASE the district levy by practically the same
amount that the state levy would be increased?
Does the board expect to the Seattle schools
next year on the same sum it expended this year7
the board raise the additional sum- What district
levy would be required with the 2010 plan in effectg
Would not special election be necessary? II so,
where would any saving come in?

What Became of
Columbia Basin?

WHAT happened to the Columbia River
~ Basin irrigation project 10 gears after it
'cas finished? What of 1913 and 1919?
Not many years ago daring leader or two
warned the world of coming disaster-a war
of the mightiest natons-a conflict that would
KILL starve and MAIN millions. And the wisest
among us scoffed and refused to see the danger
signal ahead But it came.
S. B. H. Hurst, of Seattle, one of Americas
daring novelists, has written a new story, "The
Locusts," which strikes at the very heart of
another menace against world peace! To do it
he has raised his sights and focused his bril-
liant pen on the Columbia Basin IN 1945-the
year. so says his novel, sUhen the Broacn In
udder from Japan cill haze conquered it.
Hurst skillfully, logically, dramatically winds
the thread of his story about the romance of
young mantle son of World War Veteran
and girl-the daughter of pioneer of the
Basin. Living in community where all are
Japanese but themselves, constantly threatened
by anonymous letter writers, warned to leave,
these two remaining white settlers of the Basin
cling to their land.
But the Big Jap Boss ordered by his emperor
to conquer ALL Of the Basin, finds way. The
young man is accused of murder The fast
thinning ranks Of the American Legion try to
save him. He is condemned to death for
crime he did not commit
How he escapes the gallows; how the Japs at
last get control of the last bits of land in the
Basin, is thrillingly told by Hurst in
