. Everett T. Smith

Tacoma is going to miss Everett 7. Smith. Though
illness caused him to retire from the management
of Rhodes Bros department store in November 1910,
and give up many community activities. of his
death Saturday morning was distinct shock. The
Red Cross, Community Chest. Chamber of Com
merce, his church and other groups will find his a
place hard to fill.
In some ways Everett Smith was bit old-fash-
Toned He was believer in the proved traditions Of
the past but faced the realities of the future with
open minded intelligence. His philosophy was some
thing like this-Prove all things. hold fast to that
which is good, and don't be afraid to try something
just because II is new.
He had substitute for honesty and square deal
ing He looked upon service TO the public privilege
and was able to mpart that philosophy to those with
whom he worked
Returning to Tacoma in 1888. after number of
years absence, merchandise manager and becoming
general manager of Rhodes Bros. department store
year later, he made that philosophy work in one Of
the most trying periods economically in the history
of this country Though he necessarily gave his first
thought TO the business under his management it
in those difficult years that Tacoma learned his
worth as community leader.
One thing for which he wilr be gratefully re-
membered by number of young people was the
Rhodes Bros sponsorship of the Tacoma Junior Con-
cert band during the last years of his regime
manager. He helped inspire in those boys and girls
a deep interest in good music and enabled them to
attain superior rating in that field.
Yes, Tacoma is going to miss Everett Smith. There
will be business associates and those with whom he
worked in the community organizations, and great
of of the ctys leading mercantile establish
ments; others will include great many who did
not have personal acquaintance but only knew him
as one interested in his fellow men.

PinbaH Bills

Editor The Times: Have read
the news regarding all the new
bills offered on the pinball ma
chimes.
II is too bad that our Legislators
must engage in such maneuvers
when they have one good bill be-
fore them that would really take
care of this nuisance.
mean the bill by John Nc
Monagle, first year man in the
legislature, who has the courage
and good sense TO offer a bill that
really does away with this menace
to the young folks of our state.
lack Vane, Rosellini and others
who are offering compromise bills
probably know which side of the
bread has butter on it. If they
were actually concerned with the
welfare of the young people they
would get behind McMonagle's bill
and put il over.
To the average parent, it would
seem that all these other bills are
offered just to gum up the works
and waste a lot Of valuable time,
which could be used to pass the
only bill which has any merit.
l hope members of PIT. A and
parents in general. will get busy
and back this bill by McMonagle,
to abolish a public nuisance.
l also feel that Mayor Cain is TO
be commended for his letter on the
subject of revenue from these pin
ball machines a few days ago.
And for the gentlemen who
own or service them, I can only
say that they would be better
servieing some of the machinery
nsed by our armed forces. So come

alive at Olympia and let him know
how you feel about this matter.

. A Smart Reply

Some of the resorters who still are able to find
accommodations at fashionable Miami Beach, Fla,
evidently haven't heard about the large part
of that resort occupied by families of milonaires
has been taken by the government as training
stations for the Air Corps. The trainees, who work
about sixteen hours a day preparing for the time
when they risk their lives to save the skins of
the rest of US. usually get up at 80 singing The
resorters, who like to stay in bed late protested be-
cause the singers disturbed their sleep. Col Ralph
NJ. Parker commander of the beach area had the
right reply. Here is the letter he wrote to the pro-
testants:
my dear Neighbours have your several letters
requesting the elimination of the soldier singing in
the early morning hours, and hope you will accept my
in the spirit in which ii is written The sing
ing will continue.
Moreover, please arise at the first sound of mill
tary activity each morning and get down your
knees with all the members of your household who
disturbed thereby, and offer thanks to God AL
mighty with and all the rest of u.s. that those are
Americans singing American songs for you and me,
and not Germans or Japanese singing their victory
songs in American streets
Twill you do this? Yes? That's swell Many
thanks. Believe very sincerely and faithfully
yours, Ralph NJ Parker, Colonel, Air Corps Com
handing.
Col. Parker might have added that the singing can
not be nearly disturbing would be the sound of
exploding bombs dropped from enemy airplanes.
Sometimes we think it would be smart to stage a
phoney raid in some where the people find the
presence of units of the armed forces dspeasng and
an interference with the ordinary way of life.

Would it not be fair to ask If

estate, such as gasoline, auto h.
censes, sales tax. etc, which are
but subterfuges to aid the 40

by adjoining property owners but
was shifted onto the shoulders of
the auto owners in the shape Of
a gas tax. which is onerous but
the auto owners have been very
patient.
The writer well remembers the
agitation concerning the sales tax
in this state. None of the politi-
clans wanted to touch the subject
with a ten foot pole More money
had to be had. The large holders
of real estate, many of them being
non-residents, and the farmers had
the politicians hog-tied with the
40 mill tax limit. They had to find
a man who would take the re-
sponsibility of introducing the
iniquitous sales tax. a man with
the courage of his convictions and
even with courage without con-
victions. They found him in the
person of Robert Montgomery,
publisher of the Puyallup Tribune,
who was not afraid to face any
condition. At a large gathering
in Tacoma he bluntly told the as
sembly that there was no way
out except to impose sales tax.

them non-residents. On the NH
between Pacific avenue and n
street are thousands of vacant lots
which could be occupied by resi-

So named because of the large
