SOME of Tacoma's surplus
~ steam needs to be directed
toward rounding up 100000,
this city's quota in the Red
Cross War Relief drive which
started Tuesday.
Here the whole war relief
picture is being simplified by
consolidation of effort. In
stead of having each indi-
vidual group, representing
some one angle of war re-
lief, struggle to raise an
indeterminate sum, all groups
are combining their plans un-
der the more efficient banner
of the American Red Cross,
with a definite goal, definite
detectives.
Every person who is en-
ployed in even the most limit
ed way should be able, willing
and glad to give 25 cents to
the humanitarian purpose OF
relief to those hundreds of
thousands of civilian mothers,
fathers and children involved
in Europe's disaster.
There is no propaganda in
the fact that countless mil
lions of fellow human beings
through no fault of their own
have lost their homes, their
means of livelihood, their
businesses, farms, and jobs.
There's no propaganda in the
fact that uncounted thou
sands are wandering aim
lessly among the ruins OF
their home countries or have
imposed themselves for tenn
porary shelter as refugees in
the few remaining peaceful
spots on the European con-
tinent.
When Tacoma citizens indi-
vidually grasp even sug-
gestion of that picture they
will not hesitate to give as
generously as their means
will permit.
Tacomans, in common with
other Americans, can be sure
that whatever they give will
reach the intended destina-
ton and that each nickel and
dime or dollar will be ex-
pended in careful. organized
aid TO those who need it.
America has undertaken as
national project the raising
of S20,000,000 for the work
of the war relief council
formed TO carry on through
the Red Cross. Pierce eoun-
tvs assigned share is s4O.-
600; Tacoma's share $4,000
of that $4,000.
Twenty millions won't re-
build ruined Europe; it won't
reconstruct cities and farms
and homes. But it will carry
needed food and clothing 10
the hapless victims of war
they didn't want but which
they could not escape.
Let's put some Of our sur
plus steam into this job, fin
ism it in hurry. and speed
these funds off TO those who
cannot help themselves.

the District to, | think, the year
1892 where there are a great many
old land records. Those have been
all recopied in DIR. Thompkin's adj
ministration. They are now in
good shape and we have to remem
Der that every time any one of you
buys or sells a piece of property
in the District of Columbia you
have to check back to see whether
or not the title is genuine. Fur
thermore, in addition to this saw
ing, we have brought our records
up to date. In those old days
when we were children,-seven
years ago, it would take you not
only hours and days. but weeks
and months before you could get
recorded by your Government the
various necessary documents for
real estate sales or purchases, or
any other form of document that
had to be recorded. Now this adj
ministration under DR.. Thompkins
has done something to help the
business man and property owners
of the District of Columbia, and at
a cost, incidentally, that is just a
bout as low as any place in the
United States. Then there is
another thing, because of my
Scotch and Dutch business inst
incts we are going to save money
for the taxpayers of the District
by putting up this building because
today we are paying out an enor-
NOUS sum in rent. $240,000 over a
period of years. l think. And this
new building will be owned by the
Government, paid for by the Gov
ernment, and we are going to am
ortize it-pay for it through the
profits being made and in a very
short time II will be paid for and
there will be no more rent to pay.
SO, from that point Of view as bus
mess people, we feel this building
is a mighty good investment.
I am glad for the opportunity to
come here today and to thank DR..
Thompkins, his assistants, and al
members of his staff on the splen-
did business-like job he has done
and to express the hope that he
will be in tis very important office
for many long years to come for
the service of his community ard
