That the state and all the divi-
sions of it are seeking ways and
means to provide the unemployed
with food, clothing and shelter re-
minds one of the times when men
were put in prison for debt. Their
friends, relatives and officials be-
stirred themselves to make life in
Jail as pleasant as possible instead
of working to make it forever inn
possible that q man should be
there for such reason. Gradual
" the people became inbued with
the realization that to shut man
up wasn't the way to get his debts
paid.
Now, as then, the way to help
a man is not to give him things,
but to change the law so he can
earn for himself.
When the people make up their
minds to do g. thing, it is done.
Last fall there was sweeping
revolution for general reform, but
very little, If any, specific in-
struction. In time the debtor sys-
tenn was abolished. In time, the
unemployment system will also go.

or $4,000, 900 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 its municipal
crew can shunt onto the rest OF
the state its tax burden, so much
fine better for them, because 1t
means more jobs for the civil SER
vice employees Of Seattle.
For instance: If Seattle takes
over the plant at Everett, Seattle
civil service employees move in and
Everett home owners move out
Why? Because they must be under
Seattle's civil service to hold Jobs,
and to come under the civil serv-
ice they must be residents of Seat
tie.
Governor Martin in a recent Ia
coma speech indicated he didn't
care much for the Bone power bill.
Recently the State Senate adopt
ed the new savings and loan code,
an act involving 10000 people and
their savings, without reading the
bill. The entire time required
less than 10 minutes.
Then the staid and earnest SEN
ators loked into a two hour de-
bate over a bill which would re-
peal the state dog tax, involving
probably several hundred dollars
of annual license fees.
Such is the way the twenty
third session has been performing.

POLITICS
: + 4 j + J. 4 I. = + + + /
(By Jimmie K. Browne) ,

One week remains of the Tween
ty-third session of the Legislature
For sixty days the 80 House
and 46 Senate members represent
i ing every section of the state, hav-
ing been seeking to work out some
of the major problems.
It was a new legislature new
in politics; new in members; new
in parliamentary procedure; new
in law making.
The session started with the
avowed purpose of reducing the
costs of government; of saving to
the state the highway system; of
bringing forth legislation to bene-
fit business and industry, banks
and financial institutions, and to
create new feeling of optimism
and confidence. 9
None of this has been accom-
plished to date.
Government costs have been re-
duced in slashings of payrolls of
employees. No effort has been
put forth to force down costs of
the schools which will continue on
the same generous plane as dur
ing boom times.
Taxes are reduced only in one
instance, the abolition of the
county road and bridge fund, a
savings in the state of around 3d.
600, 600.
The elimination of two percent
Of the frills around modern schools
would make a similar saving.
Taxes are being shifted.
The 40-mill limitation has fail
ed, if the actions of the legislature
are to be the Judge. The voters
sought to reduce costs of govern
ment in all things.
The legislators instead of apply
ing themselves to this problem,
devoted virtually all of their time
to shifting, seeking of new
ways and new things to tax.
Payroll builders and employers,
and thru them the men and wo-
men employed in industry are hit
hardest, and in some instances by
those whom had been counted upon
as friends.
Employers asked for the right
to be allowed to work out the So
luton of their problems in their
wn way. The right to seek indus
trial insurance where and how de-
sired, was asked for.
Sponsors of legislation to in
crease taxes were too inconsistent.
In one breath they cried out
against the existing economical
conditions, pleading for the right
ito work and not take, doles."

1t is an open secret that the
Seattle light plant is nearing or
long since passed the stage of in
solvency. This became apparent
when it sought to borrow $1,000.

aid by the r. F. c..
However, through the passage
of Senate Bill 129, better known
as the Bone Bill, the city OF Seat
tie can now step out into other
cities, promise low rates and cheap
light. in fact the offer so far has
gone down to Ia cent per kllo-
watt hour, and drive private COM
petition from the field. ...
Once in control, without state
regulation, tax free, and riding
with a high hand, Seattle will be
in a position to increase its rates
to an extent which will force out
side communities to carry the bur-
den. This is what the program is
designed for.
The Bone Bill is just another ex-
ample of what the present legis-
lative session is striving for, tax
shifting rather than tax reduction.
The state representatives here
overlook the fact that when Seat
tie takes over privately owned dis
tribution systems it takes them

INV DSdL OH aSoiliokieAA 49, ASAAs
One can be said. The actions of
the present session have not been
partisan. The Democrats had COM
plete and absolute control of legis-
lative and state machinery. Repub-
lican members joined with them.
What this session did not do
rests absolutely with the Demo-
cratic power and its leadership,
with some Republican help.
The governor asked for and has
been given control over all roads
and highways in the state as now
established. At his request he has
been given 60 percent of all the
revenues from the gas tax to be
spent under the state highway de-
partment in cities and counties.
He has been granted another
81, 500, 900 for interest and bond
retirement on a $10,O00,000 util-
ity bond issue to be paid from gas
tax revenues.
He asked for a type of old age
pension. He got it.
But it is also an open secret
that the governor is far from sat
isfied with some of the legislation
laid or to be laid on his doorstep.
In the wild scramble for things
to tax even the dead have not been
overlooked. The Senate demanded
that places where those who have
passed away are buried be taxed,
and so voted on bill.
Then the Senate asks that life
insurance payments be taxed and
the survivors, or beneficiaries. pay
the state tax upon the policies
received. This bill is still pending.
This measure comes from the
new director of inheritance tax.
There is no doubt but the state
today faces a most grave econon-
ic situation. Yet here in Olympia
there have been proposals advanc-
ed to tend to strengthen the back
bones of industrial and business
leaders, to instill and create con-
fidence in them or in the general
public.
"A study Of the more than TOO
now pending shows that
those relating to the question of
taxation and revenues, all seek
something to tax, and because of
the fact only few enterprises are
active, these are being singled
out for the brunt of the attack.
The reaction is being felt. In
dustrial leaders generally are wor-
ried. The construction industry is
hamstrung. The development of
the natural resources, fisheries,
mines, timber is halted. No pri-
vate funds will be made available.
None can be encouraged to come
into the state.
The moratorium passed by the
Senate has frightened construc-
ton and building capital out of the
state.

but they have to understand be-

Demands for increased indus
trial insurance awards have help
ed to stagnate the lumber indus
try and its recovery is doubtful.
Threats of unemployed insurance
have tended to stop industrial
leaders from seeking to try and
build up payrolls.
Proposals to levy excise taxes
upon all products has slowed up
activities in these lines.
Merchants generally are worried
and holding back.
Banks are reluctant to make
loans.
The whole thing has resulted in
a choking off of recovery OF con-
fidence necessary for a business
revival. -
There is no doubt but the con-
servative majority in the Senate
and the House are opposed to such
a program, but for some reason
are blindly following along uncer-
tain lines.
The concentrating of the con-
troll of the legislature in the hands
of the larger cities, stripping the
smaller counties or representation
is largely responsible. The larger
delegations are controlled by
blocs which care little for state
welfare as whole. These blocs
are riding high at the present ses-
sion.
