When GOV Martin first came

bases on many utilities against
which he handed down orders 10

ever. threw out these orders al

instead of the lower assessed
values as found by the tax COM
mission and county assessors.
On the subject of taxing
public power districts and
municipal plants, like Tacoma
and Seattle operate, at the
same rate - private utilities
pay, officials pointed out the
constitution prevents a state
from levying property tax
on any of its municipal sub
divisions.
On the other hand. the state
for years has been collecting a
three per cent business tax on
those public plants. the same as II
does from private companies. To
levy a property tax on them IN
addition. the state would have 10
amend the constitution.

PREUS Is SPEAKER


Commented Candidate Preus;
You here tonight know that ]
stand for the traditional Amer
lean form Of government, Amer
lean ideals and institutions You
know that represent all that
America has stood for as the
greatest example in all history of
government by free people.
You know equally well that
my opponent is the candidate of
the Washington Commonwealth
Federation.
You know also that there can
be only two kinds of government.
one. the American type where the
people run the government. and
the other type you see all over
the rest of the world where the
government is run by a bunch Of
brass hats on horseback. ordering
the people around. We aren't
ready for that kind of government
IN America.
That is the issue in this cam
paign-where I represent the idea
of maintaining freedom and gov
eminent based on the spiritual and
moral principle of adhering to
the fundamental Laws OF Ma
lures God as expressed in the
Declaration Of Independence. and
where my opponent. through his
votes in sympathy with alleged
un-American activities. represents
departure for some other idea
that undoubtedly provides for the
overflow and destruction Of our
old American ideals"

kind of reading you enjoy and SINH

tastes. Decide whether you enjoy
dealing with things, with ideas, or
with human beings; whether you
are a thinker or a doer.
Then search out lines of work
which would best fit your inclina-

public libraries have good books on
career selections-read them care

any line of work that appeals to
you. Read about it, talk to men or
women who are already in it, And
remember, there are undoubtedly
many different jobs for which your

much of a hurry to settle on the
first one that strikes your fancy.
If you follow this plan, you can

he had been offered job by one
of the leading companies in his
particular field.
If ever a fellow seemed a natural
for career, he was it. And guess
what? Two years after graduation
he quit his job-after two pro-
motions-to sell life insurance!
fortunately, his resignation didn t
take. His immediate superior called
him in and gave him talking-to
that not only curled his hair, but
gave it a permanent metallurgical
wave. The boy went back to his
job, and less than 10 years later, he
was one of the company's leading

Budding Lawyer
Turns Writer.s
One of our best friends, brilliant
student in both high school and
college, took pre-legal course SIM
r.y because his parents wanted him
to be lawyer and he had no, other
strong inclination. After three
years in college, however, he abb
ruptly changed courses, switched to
an English major and started to
write. The result? Well, many of
you have read his short stories in
national magazines.
1t takes many young people some
time to find themselves. Often ex-
perience on two or three jobs Is
necessary before you can be sure
what sort of work intrests you most.
And such being the case, it is en-
couraging to know that most of us
are capable of attaining equal sue
cess in any one of a large number
of jobs.
Vocational guidance is very val
liable in helping young men and
women choose work that fits their
abilities and their interests. But
experts in this field seldom attempt
to name one particular job in which
candidate is most likely to sue
ceed. Rather, they can only tell
you what broad classifications of
work you are most fitted to do.
If you can get this sort of pro-
fessional guidance, by all means do
so. If you can't, sit down and make
q personal inventory of your own
abilities, likes and dislikes.
