II depends on what you mean
by call" Real estate valua-
tons used to be taken every two
years but under a new law, they
are determined every year. The
assessor has men out in the field
all the year around, checking
on improvements and other ele-
ments that affect property
values. In the old days. the only
assessor the average householder
got TO see was the deputy who
called in person and looked over
the inside of the house. In re-

not been assessed. The field
deputies assessing real estate

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE WAR


Editor. The Times: l want to
congra tulate The Times for its
broad-minded stand exemplified
in William F.. Barrett's article
on war fever and its aftermath.
We need a lot of similar edi-
torials.
But many of us can't possibly
like this war" as Mr.. Barrett
says we might because our read
ing and experiences have taught
us that war is just horribly,
hopelessly wrong and can never
preserve democracy.
Years ago, B. II. Before Hit
lerl. we heard Kathleen Norris
tell hundreds of Tacomans to
flood the White House with let
tiers asking why should the
United States again be threat
ened with a foreign war. Now
we need a deluge, yes, even
tidal wave of letters to con-
gress and the White House and
we might have 10 add a re-
sounding mo" to any idea of
sending our men abroad.
The Nye munitions investiga-
tion of 1885 exposed some 25,-
900 new easy-chair. stay-at-
home unition millionaires
while many of us couldn't get
Jobs and those who had them
We're cut to a subsistence wage.
Some OF us Just can't get the
old thrill out of seeing a stall
wart, uniformed figure because
we realize il is unwittingly a
part of vicious propaganda
scheme. We are heartsick be-
cause we are afraid that form
might some day be riddled with
bullets containing raw materials
the United States somehow can't
stop shipping her potential en-
emies. Even the excess profits
law is so full of loopholes in its
final form that profits are not
truly regulated.
Let's not say we can't do
anything, let's still believe the
pen is mightier tn an the
sword" IDA HORNSCHUCH,
