Some serious attention ought to be ri.

The Bear and the Rupert, with

The new revenue bill now being
considered by congress started on
its way through with provision
to levy no additional taxes on in
comes of $4,000 and less. So far
this level has been reduced to $780,
600. It makes little difference at
what figure it is left when it is
finally passed. The history Of all
tax schemes is that they start low
and are gradually increased until
they reach the limit the traffic will
bear. Property taxes years ago
started in at a low rate, but have
been consistently increased until
the limit has been reached, and
new sources of revenue are now
being sought in the form of income
taxes. If history repeats itself we
may expect to see not only income
limits consistently lowered, but
rates just as consistently fncreas-
ed. This, too, has been the case
with real estate taxes, will contin-
ne as long as the traffic will bear
it. A new source of revenue will
then be sought. Expenses are not
going to be reduced until no more
sources of revenue are available,
the promises of the politicians and
office seekers Notwithstanding.

We can't agree with those who are

We can't agree with those who are
criticizing the school board for call
ing another election on the build
ing question. When new develop
ments occur which change the sit
uation, we believe that it is one Of
the functions Of the board to give
the patrons of the district a chance
to determine whether or not a sum
for capital outlay is to be spent.
From the returns at the last cleo
ton, it is evident that majority
of the patrons want a new building
badly enough to burden themselves
with a double tax levy for one year.
Surely, under the new setup-in
spite of the fact that the board said
the recent election would be the
last one on the questionable situ-
alton has entirely changed. The adj
vantages offered are so much great
er that we certainly should have
felt aggrieved if the board did not
give us chance to pass on it. It's
a duty they owe the district, not a
proposition which they are trying
to shove over"
But while we have this in mind,
we wonder if the board would con-
sent to submit an alternate plan?
Perhaps some people would be in
favor Of a smaller building or a
change of some sort in the plans.
It may not be necessary to spend a
hundred thousand dollars for a
new building. Maybe half that sum
would suffice for the next few
years and still take care of our
needs. It's a thought. ...... +.

Few people can see any reason
or excuse for Italy provoking a
war with Ethiopia. This country
has never been an exploiting ma
ton from the standpoint Of her
trade or from the standpoint of
desiring more territory. She has
been content to tend to her own
business and takes great pride
in The fact that Ethiopia is a free
country. There is a general feeling
that if Ethiopia was more given to
war and possessed more war equip
ment and trained soldiers that
Italy would not be SO insistent in
the matter of waging war on her
but would probably be directing
her guns and airplanes towards
some less warlike and less defense
less nation.

According to the Journal of
the American Medical Association
a normal man should live to be
los years old. This is based on the
fact that all other animals live
five times as long as the time re-
quired for them to reach maturity.
Since it requires 81 years for a
man to reach maturity this author
ity figures it out that with pro-
per mental attitude toward life a
man should live to be five times
81 years or 105. The proposition
doesn't especially appeal to most
men. Long before the average man
reaches the honorable age of los
years he figures he has seen about
everything there is to see and is
broke. With no money and moth
ing left to see what inducement is
there for one to live on borrowed
time? "

AS Chairman Lundin points out,
"this new organization is in no
sense anti-union." In fact, all true
Americans who are members of Ia
Dor unions should welcome an or
ganized movement extending into
every community in the state to
uphold workers rights and to pro-
vide such satisfactory wages and
working conditions as may be
compatible with economic condi-
tions under which each employer
group operates. In further eluci-
dating this praiseworthy objective
and quoting from Chairman Lun-
din's statement:
Employer groups in the Coun-.
Gil also will stand together in
furtherance of fair wages and
working conditions for employ
es in their own industries. They
recognize, however, that fair
wages in one industry are not
necessarily fair in another, but
depend upon economic and other
conditions In various fields Of
industrial activity.
It is fortunate that such an or
ganization is coming into being at
this particular time. This state is
honeycombed with subversive and
red activities and wide variety
of organized minorities seeking
some special advantage at expense
of the general public.
It is high time there should be
a statewide organization in the i'm.
terest of the general public!
Only by such an organization,
truly representative, with a work.
ing set-up Of practicability, and
with management both fearless
and wise, can Washington State
be saved from further disaster.
One Of the many strong points
Of Washington Industrial Council
is that its affairs are to be man.

If the idea submitted by the fair
board the other night appeals to
you in any way, why don't you let
it be known. If you have any sug-
gestios along the line, don't keep
'em to yourself. Tell some member
of the board about it. This thing is
for the general good of the COM
munity, and those in charge are
willing to spend a lot of time to
put it overall for the good of the
people of the district. It's not a
money making stunt for anyone.
