BRIDGE AUTHORITY MEETS

The state toll bridge authority
held preliminary meeting in
Olympia Friday 20 discuss the
bridge situation.
Definite decision as TO whether
il would be rebuilt and on what
design. were not expected TO be
reached for some time, pending
conferences with insurance Off
Gals, bridge experts and others.
Gov. Martin. chairman Of the au-
thority, said it probably would be
rebuilt
Estimates Of the cost TO re-
build the structure ranged
from $1,000 900 TO $4,000. 900.
Insurance on the bridge
amounted To more than ST.
O00, 900. Insurance officials
from all over the nation were
reported flying to Washington
to arrange settlement Of the
giant claim.
The 1871 legislature may be
asked for an appropriation out of
highway funds 10 aid in construct
ing a new bridge.
II was considered improbable
that the present towers could be
used for another bridge since the
new ones probably would have TO
be Of different size and design TO
avoid structural weaknesses which
contributed TO destruction Of the
original bridge. The concrete piers.
sunk deep into the bottom OF
Puget Sound. may be disable again
for foundations.

REMOVE CONCRETE


Meanwhile, Chief Engineer Clark
II. Eldridge said a crew of ap-
proximately so workmen COM
menced Friday morning to remove
remaining concrete from the ap-
proach spans. each some 1000 feet
long.
I'VE hope TO save the two tow
ers and the suspension cables If
we can, we will only have to re-
build the roadway. II not. the tow
ers will have to come down and
well start all over"
Only a small force Of workmen
can be employed on the removal
project, Eldridge said. because re-
suits of relieving weight on the
cable ends are unknown, partic-
ulary upon the steel towers, which
are badly sprung out of shape.

Although the structure was
fully covered by insurance, which
state officials said would assure
reconstruction of the bridge, IL
was necessary first to determine
what caused the four-months-old
suspension span TO fail to with
stand the elements Of nature be-
fore efforts could be concentrated
on rebuilding plans.

On August 6. ls4O, you elected the undersigned as your Mayor
and Couneilmen for a fOuryear term commencing January /. 1871.
On August 26, 1910, the present City Council, none of whom
were reelected, passed an Ordinance that would strip the Street Com
missioner of all control of the City Water Works, OF any other public
utility that might be operated by the City. Under this Ordinance the
present City Council would appoint three Commissioner to manage
the Water Works. Their terms would extend for a period of one. two,
and three years from the date of their appointment, well into the
term of the e. administration.
Recently We met with the City Council and requested that the
Ordinance be repealed, or its operation be suspended until the nw
administration takes office. This was refused.
We feel that this ordinance calls for N unjustified expenditure
of additional money at a time when economy is essential. We also
believe that the old administration should not create new offices and
make appointments extending into the term of the nw adminstra-
tion, when they have but little mere than three months to serve.
If this move is 50 constructive, and the benefits TO be derived
from ii 50 essential, We fail to see why the old administration did not
pass this Ordinance when they ere first elected to office.
We believe that " re elected BY you, TO represent YOU. and
not to permit others to say no" We shall handle the City affairs. For
this reason We are circulating a petition calling for the repeal of this
Ordinance by the present City Council, or requiring them to submit
the Ordinance 10 you, citizens, 5 that you may decide whether
this Water Works Commission is an indispensable necessity. o.
whether your newly elected Street Commissioner is competent 10
manage the City Water Works.
This method Of petition IS known a the referendum and is
full approval of The people, for whose benefit all laws II made. r
should be made. We urge you to sign this petition and "a 70. f.,
the repeal Of this Ordinance.

HOUSE GROUP HALVES PROFITS TAX
I'm SECOND BOW TO BIG BUSINESS

WASHINGTON OPP - Taxes on
excess profits were cut in half by the
house ways and means committee
here August Is.
BY a vote of 10 to 2 the committee
gave in to demands of big business
spokesman that corporations be al
lowed to figure excess profits on re-
turns from any three years of the
four year base period of 1936-1939
1t was estimated by treasury ex-
perts that the new concession, the
second to be made by the committee,
would reduce revenue from the excess
profits tax this year from 100000
900 to s107 100000.
Previously the committee agreed to
allow corporations to figure their ex-
cess profits taxes on the basis of re-
turn on invested capital or average
earnings.
Representatives of the U. S. cham
Der of commerce, the Natl Assn. of
Manufacturers and large number OF
individual corporations had pleaded
with the committee to allow a more
flexible base in figuring excess pro-
fits.
With the present provision allowing
choice Of any three of the four years,

Discrimination
Against Union
Shoe Firms, Charge

WASHINGTON-(FP)-Ritter foes
of organized labor in the shoe indus
try are making handsome profits on
national defense orders while organ
lied plants are apparently being dis
eliminated against, the United Shoe
Workers (CIO) charged here August
Is.
Since March 1, the union claimed
the army and navy have let IA con-
tracts in excess of $4,000 amounting
to s3,6S4,676. Not a single contract
went to a union manufacturer.
Protests to the war and navy de-
partment brought the reply that shoes
are being purchased on the basis of
open bids, that they were obliged to
accept the lowest bid regardless OF
the manufacturers relations with the
union.
The navy department, according t.
USW officials, contends that the pres
ent situation does not constitute an
emergency" warranting the negotiat-
ing of contracts without bids.
Despite this contention, the union
says, the navy department did negoti-
ate contract with the anti-union
Herman Shoe Co. of Boston and Mil
lis, Mass. The contract called for the
delivery of $4,000 pairs of shoes at
1919 a pair.
During the last six years the Her
man Shoe Co. has received 81 govern
ment orders amounting to S4,323,S58
A member of its board of directors
is Frank ]. Hogan, former president
Of the American Bar Assn. and prom
inent Washington corporation lawyer.
Negotiation of the contract with the
Herman Shoe Co. despite the conten-
ton of the navy department that it is
unable to negotiate contracts in the
absence of an emergency has also

ebooklet an advertisement of which
was accepted by the New York week
ly Magazine "Cue" and run on Page
of its issue for July 81. A most cur
sorry glance at the booklet would have
convinced Cues" advertising man
ayers of its anti-Semitic nature.
Roll Call of Ramps Pals
The booklet in question was pub
lished by the so-called Constitutional
Educational League, Inc.," which
maintains its national offices in New
Haven, Conn, its New York head
quarters at 342 Madison Avenue, and
its Midwestern branch at Madison,
Wis. Formed in 1919, 1t has been for
years headed by certain Joseph p
Kamp, who claims to be an influen-
tial member of the democratic party
but is actually known for his fascistic
activities. Thus, on December 16.
1898, he was one of the sponsors of
the retired Maj. Gen. George Van
Horn Moseley when the latter deliv-
cred his anti-Semitic and antigovern-
ment speech at the Hotel Biltmore in
New York. Other sponsors of the
would-be man on horseback" were
Allen Zoll, who led the Coughlinite
picketing of the radio station WMCA
and was later indicted as a black
mailer, and John e. Kelley notorious
Jersey City fascist who has spoken
before the nazi German-American
Bund, Christian Front and other or
CARNATIONS of the same type. On
May "a, 1889, Ramp was one of the
Sponsors of the so-called "Pro-Amer-
lean Mass Meeting" which was ad-
dressed by Kelley and McWilliams.

corporations can exclude the low year
of 1888 and thus show that their NOR
NAL" earnings during 1886. 1887 and
1899 were high and that the taxable
margin of excess profits is small.
At the same time it was disclosed
that the national defense commission
is negotiating contracts with a clause
which would permit modification or
cancellation of the contracts If the
house fails to pass the amortization
provisions of the excess profits tax
bill
These provisions allow manufac-
turers to deduct enough from their
profits to pay for additions to plant
and equipment within five years.
They have been under sharp attack
from labor and liberal organizations.
Possibility that the committee will
reverse itself on the three out of four
years provision was seen when it set
its own experts to work on the treas
ury's estimate of s107, 100000 revenue
During this year the government ex-
poets to spend approximately $4,000
900, 900 for national defense. OF the
profits made on this five billion dol
lars the government will get $107, 000,-
600 in taxes.
