Politics At Olympia

assist in carrying the ever increasing
burden Of the white elephant-the
Skagit hydro-e electric project.
1t is an open secret that the Seattle
light plant is nearing or long since
passed. the stage of insolvency. This
became apparent when it sought to
borrow $1,2OO,O0O to pay debts and was
refused aid by the R.F.C.
However through the passage of
Senate Bill 129, better known as the
Bone Bill, the city of Seattle can now
step out into other sister cities, promise
low rates and cheap light, in fact, the
offer SO far has gone down to u cent
per kilowatt hour, and drive private
competition from the field. Once in
control, without state regulation, tax
free, and riding with high hand
Seattle will be in aposition to increase
it's rates to an extent which will force
outside communities to carry the bur-
den. This is what the program is de-
signed for.
The Bone Bill is just another ex-
ample of what the present Legislative
session is striving for taX-shifting ra-
ther than tax reduction. The state rep
resentatives overlook the fact that
when Seattle takes over privately
owned distribution systems it takes
them off the tax rolls. Every time SIC
or $10,0O0,000 is taken off the tax rolls
the people of that community are
called upon to carry just this much OF
an additional burden. But if Seattle
and it's municipal ownership crew can
shunt onto the rest of the state its
tax burden, so much the better for
Seattle, because it means more jobs for
the civil service employees Of Seattle
For instance: If Seattle takes over
the plant at Everett, Seattle civil SER
vice employees move in and Everett
home owners move out. Why? Be-
cause they must be under Seattle's
civil service to hold jobs, and to come
under the civil service they must be
residents Of Seattle.
Governor Martin in recent Tacoma
speech indicated he didn't care much
for the Bone power bill.
In Senate Bill 277 by Senator Rear
don Of Snohomish, the state has one
of the first attempts this year to bring
about some kind of restoration to
party responsibility on the part Of the
candidate or nominee for public Office.
The Reardon bill is modelled after the
Colorado primary law. It provides that

WE'VE GOT TO KILL OFF ODE DUCKS"

We never know what we will or can do until
the test comes This depression has discovered in
us resourcefulness that most of us never knew we
possessed. And to the extent that it has devel-
oped initiative and the ability to keep going in
spite of difficult and unprecedented handicaps
it has been a good thing.
But in spite of all this, those of us who are
connected directly or Indirectly with the western
boxed apple industry-and that just about in
cludes everybody in the fruit districts not
help wondering how long continue in our
present methods of growing, handling and
keting of the fruit.
There is general and growing impression that
except in prosperous years. the cost of preparing
our apples for market is too expensive; that there
is too much of the price paid by the consumer go
ing for sorting, packing, paper, boxes, transport
tation and other marketing costs and not enough
for the actual growing of the fruit.
Whether cheaper method can be devised and
if so, whether the trade would take the apples as
readily now, is, of course, question. 1t is also
yet to be determined whether any material re-
duction can be made in the cost of the present
method of preparing the fruit for market.
But if the industry is to continue without a
serious setback, something is going to have to be
done that will permit the grower to receive some
Of the sale price. During the last few years this
has not been possible for there has been nothing
left for him after the others got their share.

and games and contests held at the
troop meetings The Eagle patrol Is
ahead this week but the others are
close behind.
At our meeting last week It was an
nounced that there would be a hike
next Saturday for all who had COM
pleted their tenderfoot tests. We will
leave from the scoutmasters house at
nine o'clock and will return for the
regular meeting at two pm. The des-
tination Is to be announced later. OF
course, all the boys are anxious to go
on this hike, so they are studying hard
Another advantage of going on this
hike is that opportunity will be given
to pass second class tests in fire build
ing and cooking. So far, seventeen boys
have completed the tenderfoot require
ments, and there will no doubt be more
by Saturday.

GIVE us A BREAK, GOVERNOR!

With all the new tax measures that have been
passed and still pending in the legislature, tax
payers generally in the state beginning to get
a little dizzy and to wonder where they are 60
ing to find the money to meet these new obliga-
tions. But they apparently have one bout. A
measure that has passed both houses by over
wheming votes and that needs only the signature
of the governor to make it law, cancels all inter
surely, Governor Martin will not deny the tax
payers that small crumb

James E. Watson and George H. Moses,
tonight we're accorded the rare oppor-

ing and burlssquing which has been
aimed at them over period OF years by
the Gridiron Club.

by the newspaper correspondents who
make up the club. In honor of the oc-
casion. they were permitted to 20 as
far as they liked with a Jim and

and they responded with typical forth
rightness.
The dinner was one of the few of its
kind ever given by the Gridiron Club
to accord special recognition to old-time
friends. A similar farewell was ac-
corded four years ago to Charles G.
Dawes when he retired from the vice
presidency.
