To Be Shown Here

On next Saturday and Sunday eve
nings the patrons of the Vashor
Theatre will have the opportunity Of
seeing an interesting and unusual film
entitled, Behind the Scenes With
Plymouth"
This picture gives interesting details
of the manufacture and testing of the
Plymouth cars. It is forerunner OF
the announcement of startling price
reduction which is to be announced
November 18th.
The film shows tests made in Death
Valley where the temperature is 40
degrees; where the car is allowed to
plunge down hill, through the alkali
sands. under frightful road conditions,
then it is driven to the top of Mt.
Wilson, where further tests are made
at temperature of almost freezing.
Those who have seen this picture re-
port 1t as being intensely interesting,
not alone from the standpoint Of
those interested in automobiles, but
from the standpoint, as we'll, of what
science has accomplished in mechani-
cal development.

PAUL THORSEN HELD UP
IN SEATTLE LAST SUNDAY

Last Sunday evening Paul Thorsen
was the victim Of hold-up that was
about as fortunate as could be imagin-
ed, although ten dollars changed
hands very suddenly.
The young man had just reached
the end Of perfect day. In his car,
which was parked before her home
he was bidding farewell to very
charming young lady, with whom he
had been spending the evening. A car
drew up beside his to which he paid
no attention, believing 1t was some
acquaintance indulging in practical
joke. A flashlight was turned into the
car and a demand made for Paul to
hand over his money. In reply Paul
handed out his billfold containing ten
dollars, and the car drove off. For
tunately the hold-up did not suspect
that his victim was carrying con-
siderable amount. Paul had made
collections for the Beall Greenhouse
Company on Saturday, and had had
no opportunity to turn the money
over, as he was among those present
at the football game on Saturday and
elsewhere on Sunday. Consequently
Paul feels that his experience might
have been lot worse than 1t was.

THE FOREMOST ISSUE.

At the recent American Bankers
Association convention, excessive tax
alton and public expenditures were
the leading subjects presented by ma
tionally prominent speakers.
1t is literally amazing how many
financial and industrial organizations
are regarding the tax problem as the
most important of all our difficulties
at this time. We have reached point
in our affairs where the cost of gov
eminent is becoming an impossible
barrier in the way of the investment
of capital, the development of in
dustry, the creation of estates, and the
employment of labor. Money that
once flowed into productive enterprise,
which sorely needs new funds now, is
either boarded or invested in tax-free
government bonds. Millions of Ameri-
can investors have found real and
personal meaning in the old saying
that the power 10 TAX Is tne power
to destroy"
We have seen what expanded gov
ernmental activities with their result
ing influence on the tax bill, have
done in England, Germany, Australia
and lesser powers The dole, which
was created to aid the unemployed
and the distressed, has had precisely
the opposite effect-it has created
more unemployment and more distress
by sitting industry. So with the rest
of those governmental panaceas which
have taken billions from the pockets
of the taxpayers of the world.
Whether Americas tomorrow will be
bright or clouded depends on what
action we take in handling the tax
praxNm now.

Stse Income
Tax Explained

The difference between exemptions
in the federal income tax, and the
deductions" in the state net income
tax proposed by Initiative No. SO was
explained by A. s. Goss, master of
the Washington State Grange, one Of
the principal supporters OF the bill.
opponents of the state net income
tax are attempting to make capital OF
the fact that the federal income tax
law allows a single man, without de-
pendents, an exemption of $780," said
Mr.. Goss, land at the same time, they
point out that the deduction allowed
single man, in Initiative No. so is
&c.
"Both statements are true, but our
deduction" is arrived at in an en-
tirely different manner than the
federal exemption. When calculating
his income tax for the federal tax
collectors, the single man is allowed
to subtract $500 from his income to
arrive at the net amount on which he
must pay tax.
"In calculating his tax under Initi-
alive No. SO, the entire tax is COM
puted and from the amount he finds
he shall pay, the single man is allowed
to deduct $500. For instance, If a
single person, without dependents
after making the allowances provided
for by Initiative No. SO, finds he has
net income Of $1,000, he computes
his tax at $40. However, he then is
allowed to deduct So from that sum,
leaving only 50 he would have to pay.
"a married person or head Of a
family, computing his tax in the same
way, may deduct $3.50 from the
amount of the tax to be paid, under
Initiative No. SO.
1.-THE measure allows generous de-
auctions in arriving at ones net in
come, all of which are set out in Sec
ton of the bill, on pages SO and "a

registered voter by the secretary of
the state"
