Tom Tom Economy

County Commissioner Frank Paul of the South district
when he took office January announced that he was 60
ing 10 the county S2500O0 this and every year here
after
Now Paul comes forward with promises to cut taxes by
promoting efficiency Fine That's the kind of man
and program the people of King county have wanted for
long time
But before we start mutual congratulations let's see
what Paul has accomplished so far
First he appoints Lafe Hamilton, dscredted politician
and former commissioner road superintendent Altho
LATE Hamilton probably headed the most extravagant
county administration have had Paul said Lafe
couldn't be extravaganza as his appropriation was only
$4,000 for the year.
Then with the aid of Commissioner Bill Gaines he takes
$4,000 from the road fund of the North district and
turns that 10 Hamilton.
Paul promised to sell the county automobiles and cut
down the number OF county employees and money that
way Foryseven road supervisors 10 be fired pronto
But merely eliminating title and hiring another man to
do the work without title doesn't save the taxpay
any money And TO date that's been Paul's method
Has anyone any county automobiles auconed off YETI
The Star hasn't
Now Paul says every county elective officer must make
survey and tell Paul how many each can cut off the
payroll This looks like bluff and piffle Several
county officers have already cut their stafs in accordance
with the budget allowance drawn up before Paul took Of
flce Does anyone think Paul force county officers
over whom he has control TO reduce their payros ex
cept along their own lines? With the political winds
blowing strongly for lower taxes no official is likely to
tempt public dspleaSure by exceeding his budget allow
ance this year.
The time for Paul to do his shouting is next fall when
the budget board is sitting and after he has really effected
economies this year
The Star believes that any official who sincerely tries to
reduce the cost OF government will have the support of the
voters But The Star doesn't believe that taxes can be cut
by words aone neither does The Star believe that Iafe
Hamilton can change his character merely because Com
missioner Paul does a lot of talking

Hit the Unearned Incomes

Theodore Roosevelt said: I'VE believe in a heavily
graded income tax that discrmnates sharply in favor
OF the earned as compared with the unearned incoeso
Roosevelt had the right idea The citizen who EARNS
ms income Is entitled to smaller tax on it than the
ctzen VINO does not earn it. In other words income de-
rived from labor from energy and ability from business
should pay small tax, but incomes from mortgages,
the limit. ~ o
