Seattle Urban League
Plans Industrial
Courses for Men

The Seattle Urban League con-
tinues to widen its scope of activities
and is making favorable contacts
with industrial employers, accord
ing to report for August just is
sued by Joseph S. Jackson, execu
tive secretary.
OF q selected employers inter
viewed recently, IL now employ Ne
groes, 10 formerly hired them and
five never had used Negro help of
any kind. Four of the 10 concerns
formerly using Negroes let them
out due to natural causes"-depres-
sion. The other six released "a men
due to preventable factors in thu
service of the men themselves. Us
ing much of this material as basis
three courses have been planned
One for chauffeurs, one for waiter.
and one for men in other types OF
work. However, among those now
employing Negroes many good rec
ords are being made in OUTSTANDING
service.
The report also gives an insight
of the social work of the Urban
League.
According to one mother, she wa
not receiving relief from an agency
according to that given families o.
other races; she was being severed,
prosecuted because of her race; she
and her family were in strained cir
cumstances and would the U. L.
please help her to get justice? Thor.
ough investigation revealed that the
family had been more fortunate
than many, receiving relief from
four agencies during last winter; she
was yet getting aid from one agency
regularly, but that there had been
reduction in the amount for all
families because of limited finances.
The family was in good health.
When the mother realized she was
not being prosecuted on account of
color she went away much relieved
in spirit, agreeing that she could
more than get along on what she
was receiving.
The report states that when the
L. F. C. grants King County and
Seattle the loans requested to fur
nish work for family heads, con-
facts kept up with the public works
department give assurance that Ne
groes will be given their share of
he work.

Lewis B. SchweIlenbach
Democratic Candidate
for Governor
'confisestion of Property Must Stop


Washington home owners farm
ers and small business men must
combine to demand drastic action
to prevent further confiscation of
their property for nonpayment of
taxes. Every year more than $4,000
parcels of real estate are being for
feited. Government costs increase
annually. The state is spending three
times as much today as it was ten
years ago. State taxes under the
present administration seven years
in office, have exceeded those of
thirty-five years of statehood. prior
to 1925. Vague promises of tax re-
lief have been worthless. Meaning
less statements that the way to re-
ducea taxes is to stop spending SO
much money have resulted only in
consistent increases of the tax bill.
Real estate which constitutes only
35 per cent of the wealth of the
state pays IS per cent of the taxes"
This statement sounds the keynote
of Schwellenbach's campaign for
governor.
Washington tax problems can be
solved. A governor with the ability
and courage to assume responsibility
for definite, comprehensive pro-
gram can cut your real estate tax bill
almost in two.
Schwellenbach asks the aid of the
voters of the state in his attempt to
put an end to the business of con-
fiscating farms, homes and small
businesses, and give Washington a
reduced and more equitable tax sys-

The performance of the Gilbert
and Sullivan opera, "The Yeomen
Of the Guard" last night at the
Mckinley Auditorium well illus
trates the potentialities of the
Washington Civic Opera to de-
velope the Nations Capitals own
operate stars.
In the delightful lifting light
opera by Sir w. s. Gilbert and
Sir Arthur Sullivan, the strong
and beautiful soprano Of Esther
Melick Ingram as Elsie Maynard,
a poor strolling singer, is evidence
that the young girl will do great
things.
A strong runner-up for the
honors of last nights perform
ance, in the role of Jack Point,
the pathetic Strolling jester, Ira

the girl Of his heart gives her to

AS the coquettish daughter Of a
yeoman sergeant she sings a love

The story is a sixteenth century
romance, telling how the poor

man who planned his execution

The chorus of bearded yeomen

Leona Powers as
oose-Tonsued
Dowaser

Mr.. Cochran's National The
ater Players this week offer the
washington public its first view
of "The Vinegar Tree" a con-
spicuous success of the recent
season in New York, which served
as a triumphal vehicle for Mary
Boland for many a month on
Broadway. 1t is an amusing
farce, the theme Of which seems
to be that one loses ones memory
of names, dates and places as the
years go by-Somewhat the same
theme, it will be recalled, as that
of Mines gorgeous "Mr. PIN
Passes By"
They Stimulate Aged
Paul Osborn is the author, and
the play is given an admirable
production by the local troupe.
It is difficult to imagine the fav.
orites Of the National ensemble as
Of the ages they are supposed to
assume in the play, and it is only
in that respect that the charac-
terizationS do not ring quite true,
A bit of graying-up of hair and
that sort of thing is quite inSuffi-
cient to make our favorites look
all that aged. But otherwise they
do very we'll indeed.
The story revolves about the
idea of two principals in a
prospective affair meeting, as if
by chance, and without any Spe-
cial invitation, at a country home.
There they find a complication in
the offing-the daughter of the
household is just home from COL
lege, much in love, and with a boy
who thinks he ought to marry an
experienced woman. A second
complication appears in the rather
eerie misconception of the hostess
as to the gentleman guests role
in her somewhat forgotten past.
All, well! Lack-a-day!
1t Ends Happily
OF course, it all ends happily,
and most morally. as a Il good
plays are supposed to do. And
while it is attaining the ending,
we are privileged to view Leona
Powers as a flittery-witted and for
getful hostess, Katherine Givney
as sophisticated divorcee, Ray
mond Bramley as an almost in
durable crouch, Donald Woods as
an ageing playboy, Ona Munson
as the college gal, and Owen
Davis, jr., as-what was it Angus
tus called him?-oh, yes-a young
idiot.
Altogether an amusing and en-
tertaining parable, but one whose
innermost thoughts are not to be
taken too seriously. A large audi
ence last night enjoyed it i'm.
mensely, and there is every reason
to believe that other large audi
ences will enjoy it quite as much
in the evenings to come.

Another rule which would pro-
