The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1931-03-05
Clifford Is Candidate
For Port Commissioner

Edward Clifford, candidate for
port commissioner, has lived in Sc
attic and been in business here
over twenty years. While state
director of labor and industries he
established the State Safety Code
for workmen; raised the compen-
sation to injured workmen thirty
per cent; helped to increase the
minimum wage law for women, and
at the end of his first two years
turned back $25O.000 of his budget
to the state treasury unexpended
He was candidate for governor on
the Republican ticket in 1924. Mr.
Clifford states that the Puget Sound
country is losing business ON the
waterfront, that business going most
ly to Portland He believes that
an efficient administration of all
the departments of the port com
mission will result in bringing this
business back to Seattle, getting new
industries here, increasing pay rolls
and prosperity.
His courageous stand on matters
of public interest in the affairs OF
the Republican party in this state
is too well known to need com
ment. Mr. Clifford says, "The
property owners of this county have
been taxed every year for the sup
port of the Port of Seattle. | be-
ieve that l can work with Mr.
Lincoln and Mr.. Lamping, the other
two commissioners, apply with. them
straight business conduct for the
affairs of the port; do away with
an expensive engineering depart
ment which spends the money earn
ed by the traffic department; put
all the business of the port on
such plane that it will not be
necessary to tax people $2S3,000
as was the tax last year, for the
support of the port commission, but
let it pay its own way"

Elect w. 7. Christensen
Port Commissioner
Take the Port of Seattle Off
the Tax Roll

ZEN, who, because of his training.
feels he can render a valuable SER
vice to the community. Not a PAY
ROLL PARASITE. for can do ten
fold better financially by attending
to my own business.
As a member of the State Legis-
lature in 1909 put the appropriation
for the Lake Washington Canal
through the House.
In 1911 Session helped secure pas
sage of the Port Law. That Fall

In 1913 and 1917 Sessions sup
ported such legislation as was neces-
sary to make our Port District more
successful.
Was a member of the Port Com
mission three and one-half years.
and by the way-those three years
were the only time since the estab-
lishment of our Port there was NO
TAX LEVY for the Port of Seattle,
Brought the State Legislature to

The Port co-operated in every way

There is no reason why the Port

tanning and not burden as it is at
the present, costing the taxpayers

road Avenue to barges from which
it was dumped into Elliott Bay?
ALTERNATING.
What about the construction of
the Grain Dryer at Hanford Street
at variously estimated cost from
seventy to ninety thousand dollars,
necessity evidenced by a gross rev.
enue in 1929 of 500 with net loss of
$4,000 and in 1880 gross revenue of
$500 with net loss of $4,000?
Some twenty thousand d ol lar S

Grain Elevator at Smith Cove where
ordinary storage sheds were later
constructed thousands of dollars

Charter Amendment No. 2
Will Increase Taxes

An absolutely unnecessary in
crease in expense which must be
borne directly by the taxpayers, is
what w C. Morse, former city. en-
gineer has termed Charter Amend
ment No. 2, providing for the crea-
ton of separate engineering de-
partment for City Light.
There is not enough engineering
work for the City Light Department
to conscientiously demand a sepa-
rate department for ITSELF" said
Morse. There would be periods of
slack time when members of their
department would be idle, causing
great waste in that office.
Further there is no need for
such a change to be made, now, or
at any future time. The present
city engineers office has worked
with the greatest skill and care in
preparing the complete plans for
the Gorge power site and the Diablo
Dam"
The new plan to organize a sepa-
rate engineering department for
City Light would in a measure take
the work from the hands of the
DodTu VI uDliC WOfhS, Wncic II
properly belongs. Under the pres
ent charter organization, all plans.
after being carefully produced and
checked in the city engineers office
are submitted to the Board of Pub
lie Works, where they are again
gone over and approved before they
are put into operation. The new
measure would place all this re-
sponsibility for planning and con-
struction for the Light Department
in the hands of one official, who is
not required by law to be a civil
or electrical engineer, but is en-
trusted only with the maintenance
and operation of his department.
That this will not produce greater
efficiency is clearly shown In the
report by Lybrand, Ross Brothers
and Montgomery on the City Light
Department, which attributes much
of the lack of efficiency of this de-
partment to the superintendent be-
ing already overburdened with too
many duties The addition of
highly technical engineering depart
ment to his duties would further
impair the efficiency and slow up
the work of that department.
The City Engineer Department
has always cooperated with the
City Light Department, and this CO.
operation has enabled the work of
the light department to go ahead
as rapidly as possible. Procedure
under the proposed amendment
would only slow up the work now
under way and add materially to
the tax burden of the people. Vote
NO on Charter Amendment No. 2.

Conover Will Promote
Best Interests of Seattle

ID. c. Conover is candidate for
city councilman. He has lived in
Seattle for more than thirty years;
is lawyer with offices in the Dex-
ter Horton Building. and resides at
4106 West Lander Street.
Mr.. Conover has always been ac-
tive in civic affairs, and was one
of the organizers of the Consoli-
dated South District Commercial
Club, serving as its vice-president
for several years. In politics, he is
Republican, and was at one time
chairman of the King County Re-
publican Central Committee, and
is past president of the Young
Mems Republican Club.
81 have a wide knowledge of all
parts of Seattle" said Mr.. Conover,
land shall at all times, If elected,
do whatever is necessary to pro-
mote the best interests of the peo-
pie of this city, regardless of local
ity. | am friend and user of City
Light, and will protect all our util-
tiles. | also believe that industry
should be encouraged, for ii is in
dustry that gives us our large pay
rolls, helps us pay our taxes, and
enables many of our people to
patronize the storekeeper and other
business establishments. Our heavy
tax burden is largely due to an
immense amount of tax-exempt
property, and l am opposed to TAX
ing any more property off the tax
rolls. Every citizen of this city will
receive fair and courteous consid
Grafton at my hands regardless of
race or creed"

Ed T O.RIALS
Contribute For Business

Negroes contribute to the RED
Cross" welfare organizations, hos
pitfalls, schools, churches, fraternities
and the like. There is nothing wrong
with these donations. They should be
kept up. They help in making the
world better place to live in.
But would not a cooperative bust
ness program which would give work
to Negroes make unnecessary so
much charity and strengthen the.
Negroes self respect? The average
Negro does not want charity. he de-
sires a lob. But under the present
system the jobs which Negroes can
obtain are as scarce as hens teeth,
and when he. can get a Job he is
first to be fired and the last hired.
1t becomes imperative. therefore, for
the Negro to think out plan which
will give the average Negro work.
American business is the direct
result of contributions. Big industry
in America came about through pro-
tectAn from European competition.
The success of American manufac-
IufefS Is Une result Oh SyHlpdtilcbiS
contributions by all Americans. The
tariff protected American business
and every time an American pur-
chased goods he was paying high
er price. The excess was used to
strengthen business and make its
growth more certain. 1t is exceeding
ly doubtful whether American bust
ness could have succeeded without
this form of contribution by every
American citizen. Americans were
willing to pay higher prices in order
to insure the development of in
dustry in America. The price has
been paid and America stands in the
forefront of the worlds business.
Russia is carrying out five-year
program and every Russian is con-
tributing to Russia's business sue
cess.
Negroes must contribute to their
business if they expect to succeed.
1t should be done with as much
pleasure as they contribute to any
thing else. And these contributions
will pay larger dividends in money
and racial self respect than any
other kind.

Go To The Polls
Next Tuesday and Vote

Besides the election of three MEM
bers of the city council, member of
the school board, and passing on two
bond issues and two important char
ter amendments, the voters must de-
eide another vital issue at the gen.
eral city election next Tuesday, ac-
cording to Judge King Dykeman,
president of the Seattle chamber of
commerce. The last issue, said Judge
Dykeman. is this:
"Are the people of Seattle to
have representative government or
are they to have government by
minority?
"At the recent primary election"
said Judge Dykeman, "out of total
Of 128,600 registered voters, only
$4,000 went to the polls. This, it
seems to me, is rather an alarming
situation.
"The city owns real property and
improvements worth in excess of
100000, exclusive of the munich
pal power plant equipment and the
street railway. The city council
handles annually, in round numbers,
about $50, 100000 of the peoples
money. 1t doesn't make any differ
cnce whether this vast sum is derived
from taxes or public Improvement
assessments or other sources-the
public puts up the money.
"All this property and money is
under the control of nine members
of the city council. Do the people
want these great interests handled
4 IL i l..
tive majority?
"This is an important issue on
which the people must pass at the
election next Tuesday. The Seattle
Chamber is vitality interested in see
ing that the voters and taxpayers of
Seattle take an active interest in
their own business. To that end we
are urging every qualified elector to
go to the polls next Tuesday and
vote"
