CoIored Workers In Russia
In Utopia Compared To us.

It is fortunate that the Ameri-
can colored man win never be able
to flood the Soviet Union with a
host of horn-blowing, giggling,
twisting, squirming, drum-beating
clowns and buffoons as his repre-
sentatives. Those few American
colored people who have come to
the Soviet Union have endeared
themselves to the Russian people
by their serious-mindedness and
their desire and ability to give the
country something worth while and
their endeavor to improve them
selves intellectually and mentally.
A colored American worker, by
his destness with the rifle in one
of the local rifle clubs, won a med
al for persistently hitting the bulls
eye. A white American tourist.
while talking with him on the
street and noticing the medal on
his breast, inquired: But what's
the medal all about ?"
II am a sharpshooter," replied
his dusky countryman.
oh" was the laeonic response
of the man from Lynchland.

Voters Are Urged
To Support Schools

Voters are being urged to pre-
vent lowering of standards of in
struction IN Seattle schools, by APP
proving a special three-mill tax le-
Wy in the school election Sept. %.
A vigorous campaign is being
conducted by the Citizens School
Emergency committee composed
of many PIT. A. members and o.
Their citizens interested in the well
fare of school children.
The committee states that the
special levy is necessary. for one
year only, to maintain the credit of
the school district and the present
reduced standards of instruction
and service in 2 schools.
That the situation cannot be
met by further economies, without
great sacrifice to the school chill
dren, because the cost of operating
the schools has already been reduc-
ed $1.346.O00 a year By reducing
the number of teachers, by cutting
their salaries 25ee, and by all 9TH
er possible economies, which great
ly lowered school standards.
That the standards of teaching
and care of children in the schools
should not be lowered further, as
our school children are our future
citizens and are entitled to the ed
ucation and instruction necessary
to make good citizens of them.
That the special levy can be vot-
ed and taxes next year will still be
twelve per cent less than taxes
paid this year, because assessed
valuation of taxable property has
been reduced ten per cent and the
levy for King County reduced
more than six per cent, total re-
duction in your taxes of more than
sixteen per cent.
