Lamping Hits State
Tax Commission Plans!

Il have but two pledges to make
to the voters stated Mr.. Larlp-
ing, first, as member OF the
Legislature, I shall vote no on
every attempt to create new taxes;
second, will introduce bill to
eliminate the present Administra-
tive Code Department, and turn
their duties over to the elective
state officials, thus saving thous-
ands of dollars in governmental
waste-elso, eliminating the de-
plorable political machine that has
been built up by department heads
Under the Administrative Code"
Mr.. Lamping is experienced as a
member of the 1881 session of the
Legislature, and he stresses the
fact that he was not member of
the 1888 session which saddled adj
ditional tax burdens on the citl-
zens of Washington state.
His Seattle residence covers for
ty years. He is married, living
in the Madrona district and has
three daughters. two attending
Garfield high school; the third,
Madrona grade school. Lamping's
friends predict an outstanding vic
tory on November 6.

Editor, Northwest Enterprise
Dear Mr.. Wilson:
In addressing this letter to you,
I hope to reach all Of your people
through the medium of the North
west Enterprise, Of which you are
editor and publisher 1 know that
your poole look to your paper for
the information that is vital to
their welfare. You have always
shown a spirit of fairness to all
the facts Of matters concerning
them and for these reasons you
have their confidence.
1 believe that the colored peo-
pie exercise the good judgment
that all American citizens strive
for in matters of public interest.
believe that they do not want ia
voritism, but justice. However.
because we are all human, 1t is
sometimes possible for us to be
misled by dishonest propaganda.
Recently, coIored man convict
ed Of felony was shown leniency
by judge who is candidate for
reelection. This man was not ell
gible for suspended sentence be-
cause of previous conviction
The act Of this Judge in this par
ticular case has been given great
deal Of publicity by those who are
handling his campaign for re-elec-
ton. Previous to this instance. no
judge on the Superior Bench of
King County has attempted to
make political profit of an official
act. No judge has hired publicity
agents to advertise his leniency to
man of one race or his severity
with another man whose cause has
happened to be unpopular.
AS prosecuting attorney Of King
County for the past four years !
have always insisted upon fair
trial of all law yioIators with whom
I have dealt. I have extended lem
iency in many cases without pub
fishing anything in the newspap-
ers. / have never sought to use
the sacred rights of the individual
or the rights of society as a means
of gaining political favor with any
group Of people.
I believe the welfare of all peo-
pies is best served by justice and
impartiality at all times and that
the official acts of politically min
ded Judges during a campaign can
not be taken as an index to their
behavior on the bench the year a.
round. should not recognize diff
ferences of financial standing, race
color or creed from the vantage
point of the sacred courts of our
land.
In the words of Abraham Lin
coin, with malice toward none,
with charity for all, with firmness
in the right as God gives us to see
the right :" let our courts of JUS
tice maintain their high standing.
Sincerely yours,
Robert M. Burgunder

Every taxpayer IS vitality inter-
ested in the type OF man represent
ing him as his prosecuting attor-
ney. It is very important to have
equivalent justice. Warren Magnu-
son, Democratic nominee Tor pro-
secutor, is pledged to give the rich
and poor alike a square deal.
Magnuson is against the system
where accused persons are allowed
to plead guilty on minor charge
instead of bring them to trial on a
major one. Many instances under
the regime of the present prose-
cutting attorneys office are en- re-
cord, where charges have been re-
duced.
Magnuson's record as q man and
attorney was scanned very care
fully by the United States govern
ment before he received his ap-
pointment of Assistant u. s. Dis
trict Attorney. In his capacity as
district attorney, Magnuson repre-
sented the government In many
cases. When Magnuson served in
the legislature, the lawyers in the
house chose him as the chairman
Of the all powerful judiciary conf
mittee.
Magnuson will give King County
q prosecutors office that will be
alert to safeguard the interests Of
everyone in King County. 1t will
be a just, humane office.
Although Magnuson is young
man he has held more honorary
positions in his profession and has
handled more important litigation
than his opponent.

Tax Cost Excessive
Says Mrs. Tourtellotte

Janet Powell Tourtellotte, Re-
publican nominee for State Rep
resentative, 37th District, who pol
led the highest vote of the thjr-
teen candidates Of both parties in
the Primaries, is basing a large
part of her campaign on the saw
ing of money.
Government" she says, "is
taking too much out of the family
budget in at least three different
ways. First, through waste and
extravaganza in many depart
ments of State expenditure. There
is no use fooling ourselves that we
can balance the budget by simply
increased efficiency.
Second, because of the price
raising policy of the administra-
ton, it is estimated that the city
and county purchasing depart
ments are having to pay % per-
cent more for what they buy.
Third, every one of US is pay
ing so much more every month for
the necessities of life, milk, bread,
meat and enough other items as to
bring our average total grocery
bills to about % percent above
what it was a year ago. AS this
is largely due to the State A.A.A.
and the arbitrary fixing of prices
by the administrator of that act,
this is one burden from which the
people can be freed by a simple
act of the next legislature, the re-
peal of this State A.A.A."

Promising to control King

ness economy" Jack Taylor, DEM
ocratic nominee for south district
county commissioner, this week
launched a strong drive for cleo
ton with the Endorsement and sup
port of organized labor, business
leaders and numerous civic and
county organizations.
The taxpayers want and must
have less taxes and less expendi-
lures" Taylor declares. ut is no
solution to juggle taxes around.
Expenditures must be controlle1
within the limits of necessity. I
pledge the voters such an admin
stration."
The whole county votes for south

CORRECT
MANNERS

The Widows Signature
Dear Mrs. Blackman:
MY father passed away last
month. Please tell me the cor
rect way to address my mothers
letters, and the correct way for
her to sign checks, and so
forth?
B.
All the forms of your moth
er's name remain just as they
were before your fathers death.
A widow does not change the
form of her signature, to her
letters or to her checks.
Her formal name, the name
on her visiting card or, for
example, the name that she
would sign on a hotel register,
is still: Mrs. Henry Allen. Her
letters, both social and business,
should always be addressed to
Mrs. Henry Allen. Her checks
she signs just as she did before
your fathers death: M airy
Smith Allen.
Her business letters, or letters
to anyone who does not know
her formal name, still should
be signed:
Yours very truly,
MARY SMITH ALLEN.

every situation of that sort from liter

production executive must take the

Although Ruth Abbott, the blondest
of all National Players, is not Cowl
or a Colbert, she is tasty Roman
dish, handsomely robed in dress
that any sister of fashion would wear
these days and throwing herself into
the not unwilling arms Of Hannibal
(Roy Roberts) with great good will.
Miss Abbott gets more of break
in this than in any OF the season
previous plays, and she does her stint
with humor and some persuasion
but, of course, she has in back OF her
the shadow of Miss Cowl, who glorified
the role to such an extent that 1t Is
difficult even to think Of any sort OF
a follower-up. At the moment, Miss
Abbott Is a little too calm of face
and slightly jittery about her lines.
AS soon however, as she melts one
or two of those facial expressions and
goes slower with words and with cues
she should make the clever Amytis
even tastier and win for herself a
large share Of the sugar that belongs
to these players.
The play is further enlivened by a
bow-legged Mago-a Freddie Sher-
man, who shuffies in and out with in
tended flatfootedness; by Adelaide
Hubbard, whose hair is thrust up and
out into some sort OF a Tower OF
Babel; by Roy Roberts, in beet-col-
ored jacket; by Romaine Calender,
who wears his toga better than any

I'VE have held other players on this

giving them a picture, waiting Tor the
right story to be found. l think
good many of the current pictures are
not made with sufficient regard for
the woman portion Of the audience.
Women are slow to attend the brutal
picture in great numbers. By and

hasn't the adventure element devel-

there is increasing difficulty IN the
