Feminine Judge
Seeks Reelection

Judge Reah Whitehead, who is a
candidate for reelection as JUS
tice of the Peace, has lived in Sc
attic since early childhood. She
received her education in Seattle
schools and her legal training at
the University of Washington.
Judge Whitehead tries civil cas-
es covering range of subjects
as broad and varied as the daily
life of Mr.. and Mrs. Average Citi-
zen.
In the Small Claims Department
of her court where cases involving
less than $4,000 are tried litigants
appearing without attorneys. The
procedure is more informal and
prompt and less expensive than
her regular Justice Court work.
At the last session of the legis-
lature bill passed the House, but
did not reach the Senate, to in
crease the jurisdiction of the Small
Claims Department to $4,000. A
bill to the same effect will prob
ably be presented to the coming
legislature with a better prospect
of passing both Houses, propon-
ents believe.
Judge Whitehead's name will APP
pear on the Non-Partisan Judicial
Ballot.

Giants Out to Win
From P. F. Sunday
By Jacques B. ChappeH

Well, it looks as though those
high riding Giants have gone and
done it again; throughout the sea-
son they have managed to cause
some fifty cases of heart failure,
forty-three cases of high blood
pressure and one suicide. So all
you folks with heart trouble better
bring along a spare doctor, and
you with false teeth had better
leave them at home or else take
the chance of choking on 'em.
What proved to be one of@the
best ball games of the year saw
the American Giants take the Pa
cific Fruit peddlers to the clean
ers to the tune of SO to even UP
the wins one all. Brennan Badly"
King pitched the game of his life
as he set the peddlers down with
seven well-scattered hits and Whit
fed seven. The Giants took the IL
berty of pounding Al Aries and w.
Rhinehart for a dozen assorted
hits with Babe Wilson getting four
The whole team played exception
ally good ball giving up but two
errors, so credit goes to the boys
who aren't to be outdone by the
Owlets.
Sunday finds the two teams in
the arena for the third time to see
which team and which team alone
shall wear the victory wreath. If
you can't get out to see this game
send your brother, sister, mother,
father or somebody, cause history
is sure to be made on Sunday.
Look in your daily newspaper
for time and place of the game as
they have not been decided on as
this paper goes to press.

Fair Play in Taxation"
= Says Roy B. Misener

Amazed at the startling disclo-
sure of thousands of buildings and
hundreds of acres of land as well
as large Industrial stocks of per-
sonal property, that for many
years have completely escaped tax
alton, business institutions, real
estate boards, governmental agen-
cies and civic organizations of ev-
cry description are endorsing AS
SCISSOR Roy B. Misener's tax equal
lzation program. Even those citi-
zens who at first were skeptical as
as to the merit of such an under
taking, are now convinced that Mr..
Misener's policy of FAIR PLAY
will not permit anyone to dodge
lawful taxation.
1t is sound logic that in any CT
vilized community, every man
should be required to pull his own
weight in the boat. Anything less
than that places upon his fellow
citizen an added burden which he
might not be able to carry. Equal
ity, says Misener, is the basic prin-
ciple of taxation and a man is
usually most concerned, and right
fully so, as to whether he pays the
same amount of taxes as his neigh
Dor upon the same type of prop
erty.
Surely it is not hard to under
stand that the privileged thous-
ands, who wilfully deprived the
county of enormous sums of tax
revenue, were granted favor at the
expense of other taxpayers. These
thousands of tax evaders have en-
joyed all the benefits of our COM
munity without the contribution of
a single dollar toward the pay
ment of the services our munich
pality and county renders. The
expense of seating in our schools,
police and fire protection, and a
multitude of other services pro-
vided for these many tax evaders,
had to be borne by the loyal citi-
zens who year in and year out
paid more than their share of the
taxes.
Taxes on real estate must be
paid whether the taxpayer can af-
ford them or not as they consti-
tute a bill for city or county SER
vices rendered. Perhaps because
many of these services are label
led free" the tax exaders were
laboring under the delusion they
could get something for nothing.
No service rendered to the public
can ever be free. The cost must
be paid by someone and is gener-
ally paid directly or indirectly by
all. The cost of maintaining free

John N. Sylvester, incumbent
candidate for the State Legislature
from the 37th district, issued a
statement relative to his assistance
in killing the miscegenation bill
presented to the last State Legis-
lature by Earl Maxwell of Rem
ton. He had the following to say:
The Sunday following the intro
duction of the bill he attended a
meeting held by a group of color
ed people, and that he met a COM
mittee from this group the next
day in Olympia. He then took
the committee to see Earl Max
well, who introduced the bill, he
says, receiving promise from
him that he would have the bill
killed in committee The follow
ing day, Tuesday, the large dele
CATION called at Olympia, and he
also assisted them in every way
possible.
Mr.. Sylvester feels that he has
been put in a bad light by a re-
cent editorial in the Enterprise
with reference to his statement to
the press at the time the bill was
first introduced, and asked for the
opportunity to have his side of the
affair published. In closing he
stated that he had a large num-
Der Of colored friends who were
for his reelection.

HUDSON'S NEW CAR
Hudson 112 Makes Debut in
Low Price Field; Form
ally Shown at Wilson

G.. M. OLary has just returned here
from a meeting in Wilson where the
new Hudson 112 was unveiled for the
first time in this vicinity. D. r.
Slaughter, from the Hudson factory
in Detroit was on hand for the cere-
mony and stated that the factory is
already swinging into full production,
and volume shipments of this new en-
try in the lowest price field are now
being made.
The announcement of this new car,
along with the fact that Hudson is
restoring jobs to 5000 men and spend
ing $11, 100000 for material, created a
nationwide stir last week. Coming
at time when news Of lay-offs and
retrenchment had become common,
the announcement was hailed as in
Producing new optimistic note into
the general business situation.
Mr.. O'Lary who, with other dealers
from this part of the country, had his
first look at the new car, states that
a public showing for the new Hudson
LIZ will be made here. He states that

ed States and more recently in South
America. She is now on her fourth
triumphant coast to coast tour of the
United States and it is good news, in
deed. that she will include this city in
her itinerary.
Featured with Senorita Goya is
Beatrice Burford, the young harpist,
who enjoys international renown as
great as that of the dancer.
Senorita Goya has brought from
Spain more than a score of dances
that are as essentially Iberian as is
the soil of CASTLE and Aragon, and
has added to them dances of her own
creation to music of her most famous
'oodo~n Spanish composers. They are
unmixed with foreign matter or spirit.
AS Manuel del Castillo Otero, of Sc
vile, the greatest living authority on
the traditional Spanish dance, and the
foremost contemporary Spanish male
dancer, said: Garcia Goya gives the
true essence of the Spanish dance. All
her traditional dances are absolutely
authentic in form and expression.
She is taking to other countries the
Spanish dance as it really isl
Each Spanish province and city has
dances entirely it's own, and those on
Co-no~'+~ C~va'e programs are pecuh-
arly characteristic of the sections to
which they are native Wild ex
larating Jota of Aragon and whirl=
ing and playful Asturiana of AS
tusia, the stately yet voluptuous Fan
danguillo of Ronda, the seductive
Zanbra of Granada; and the various
fiery and languourous dances of An
dalucia such as the Farruca Divina
and the Andalucia Gitana, these lat
ter dances strictly of the gypsy and
flamenco types which may be said to
hay1 sprung from the hot, romantic
soil and radiant moonlight of South
ern Spain.
And each number is costumed color
fully, picturesquely and in keeping
with the mood and character of the
dance, With Beatrice Burford, cen
