4 The benefits that we derive from oul
citizenship are many. The things W.
should be expected to do are seldom
thought Of. It Is our duty to uphold
the things that we consider to the
best interests Of the other Americans
to omit all thought Of personal gain
from politics, and to vote for men that
we think are honest and capable
Above all. we should teach those who
do not know the meaning of citizen

Even in this time Of serious economic
depression In our country, emigrants
are pouring into It by the thousands
from countries where the conditions
are worse, countries that have even
failed to afford them an adequate liv-
ing. Nine times out Of ten they have
lost their faith in society, yet Emerson
says, Life Is sweet and tolerable only
in our belief in society" What kind
Of citizens will they maker Unless We
teach them the meaning Of citizenship
and what It means to be a citizen"
the answer Is obvious. Yet, are we
teaching the children and emigrants
the meaning Of citizenship
A few days ago I listened to two
men, influential in our community,
discussing the recent election of Of
ficials In near by town. The man
whom they were hoping would be
elected was known to be rather un-
scrupulous. Well" said one, "'if x 10
elected, he'll sure make those fellows
in the city hall sit up and take notice.
He's just smart enough and crooked
enough to make them toe the line"
"Yes", was the reply, they say 1t takes
a crook to catch a crook" A crook!

PUYALLUP FAIR is TAX EXEMPT
WORD RECEIVED BY LINKLATER

Agricultural fairs, such as the one
held at Puyallup, will be exempt from
taxation under the new tax law as
passed by Congress. Congressman
Ralph Horr has SO advised w. A.
Linklater, president of the Western
Washington Fair. Senators Wesley L.
Jones and C. G. Hill have also report
ed that they expect this exemption to
be part of the tax law as passed by
the Senate.
The exemption applies to agricul-
tural fairs, none of the profits Of
which are distributed to stockholders
or members of the Association con-
Quoting them. but does not include
horse shows where most of the horses
are fancy riding or driving horses, dog
shows or merchants and food shows.
AS the Puyallup fair, now in Its
thirty-third year, is strictly cooper
tive and non-profit association, it will
continue to be tax exempt under the
provisions of the new federal tax law.
This ruling will be further encour-
agement to the development of the
Northwest's largest agricultural, live
stock and industrial exhibition, Mr..
Linklater points out.
Plans are being completed for an
outstanding and unusual show. with
the introduction Of new and varied
features. for the third week in Sep
TENDER beginning September 10. The
daily afternoon program of four hours
duration is calculated to be the most
colorful in the long and successful his
toryAyof Western Washington's most
imY tant community enterprise.
The Puyallup Fair this year will
manage its own Joy or amusement
zone. In the place of the usual run
of carnival attractions the association
will build an amusement center in
keeping with the general policy to i'm
prove and make more attractive every
department Of the show. The new
Midway will be supervised and directed
by the fair management.

Teachers Given
Cut In Salaries

At meeting Of the high school
board last week all OF the present
teachers were reelected for next year
to their present positions. It is an
ticipated that all will return In the
fall with the exception Of Miss Lawen.
On Saturday evening the directors
Of the vashon district met and voted
to extend contracts to the present
corps Of teachers
1t is worthy Of note, and highly
commendable that in both cases the
boards adhered to their schedule Of
salary increase before making the
promised 10 percent cut.
It is unfortunate that shortage Of
funds make 1t necessary for reduce
tion in teachers salaries. Although
In the main there are not so many
demands made on our Island teachers
as there are on the city teachers their
salaries are none too high. Consider
Ing the expense Of preparing for the
profession, which represents a con-
siderable investment, o teacher who Is
doing acceptable work is seldom re-
ceiving commensurate salary. Figures
show that for every ten teachers en-
ployed in the state of Washington at
the present time three are without
positions.
One of the greatest detriments to
our Island schools in the past has been
that they have been training schools
for young teachers just out of normal
schools. The majority of teachers in
our Island schools at the present have
been with us for two or more years,
have proved their worth and should be
encouraged to remain as long as they
are doing good work. A reduction Of
teachers salaries is always down.
ward step, and 1t is to be hoped that
by another year economic conditions
will have improved SO that our teach
ers can be advanced to the proper
scale that has been followed in the
past. At the present time, in NUM-
Der of the Island districts the teachers
are taking a 3 percent discount on
their warrants on account of shortage
of school funds. hence decrease in
salaries is rather hard to take.

What It Means To BE A Citizen.
BY Richard A. Slagle
According to Emerson, 1.-THE world is
upheld by the veracity Of good men,
Had that great man, who was also a
great citizen, said. 1.-THE world is up
held by the citizenship Of good men,"
he would have been none the less cor
rect. or even more so. since that one
word citizenship carries all the de-
sirable attributes Of man, loyalty to
state. courage, honesty and self sacri-
ficing desire to be worthy citizen.
Citizenl That word Is used rs often as
any other by men, women and children
who know not It's meaning. The belief
that the only requirement Of a citizen
Is either to be born In this country or
have taken out papers" has become
prevalent and 1t is our duty as citizens
to do away with that belief.
This country Of ours is the first,
within long era Of history, to begin
and remain successfully under demo-
cratic rule. When our fore fathers
organized this great union Of states
their idea Of q citizen was not man
who was born in this country, but 1t
was a man who was ready and willing
to help and be helped In the nation
that was their ideal, 9 nation con-
ceived In liberty, dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created
equal. and with government of the
people, by the people and for the
people as established fact.

Speeding toward old familiar fields, the
twice-thwarted Cubs rose today from
their Pullman berths more concerned
with the problem of facing the home

the Cubs won the National League pen

showering with confetti the open cars
they rode in triumph to the civic recep-

The mayor was there in the reviewing
stand and all the notables of the city,
proud of their champions, absolutely
certain they could not be beaten. No

diamond heroes. worShipS them quite
