Nineteen thirty-four was an i'm
portant year for youth. was &C.
quainted with Ralph Potts, a young
Seattle lawyer at that time. He
was the founder of the Order of
Cincinnatus which sent three men
to the Seattle City Council, one
of whom was to become mayors
of Seattle and later Governor of
Washington. The slogan of the
party was honesty and efficiency.
The Order of Cincinnatus did
not live too long. Ralph Potts was
fond of the inscription on a public
building in Sacramento, Give Me
Men to Match my Mountains" from
which Justice Douglas apparently
extracted the title for his recently
published autobiography. At any
rate Mr.. Potts first brought it to
my attention.
Washington, which is at present
an enigmatic state, is listed by
John Gunther as one of the two

heartedly Democratic phases, with

parently, from the deficits it is
piling up in it's efforts to be all
things to all men, the State can't
quite make up it's mind as to ex-
actly what it is.
Yet you can say this for Wash
ington: if there ever was a State
where the people were open-mind-
ed and cooperative enough to give
youth real chance if they showed
the ability to lead, it is this one.
The problems that confront the
State are precisely those which
face the nation in domestic af-
fairs. In social legislation Wash
ington is in the vanguard, even
ahead of the Federal Government
Yet a State does not have the
resources of a nation as a whole

Coincidence of Nobel Prizes

The awarding this year of Nobel prizes to Author Will
liam Faulkner and u N Mediator DR.. Ralph Bunche has
concidental significance which commentators all
know-faled to observe. Officially Faulkner got
prize for his arsticay independent contribution to Am
erican literature and Dr. Bunche for his successful med
alton of the Palestine conflict These two have been
acknowledged supreme distinction and leadership in two
different fields of endeavor However, the nature of Fauk
ners work and the fact that Negro for the first time in
history has achieved position of international political
significance with both getting the award the
same year is also noteworthy sign of changing
cial pattern in America, at least level For the
way these two have compemented each others work
is in itself proof that the process of solving
Negro problem.
Faukners writings largely centered the relation
ship between the coored and white peoples in the South
Forcefu he has expounded the terrible conflict in this
relationship and exposed the intolerance and of the
brutal treatment accorded Negroes by white There
is denying that Faulkner has thus preached under
lying message of greater tolerance and understanding.
His frsthand knowledge of this conflict is borne out in
his poignant arestng study of suffering humanity which
accounts for his greatness
DR.. Bunche grandson of slave, is of the first in
dviduals to fulfill the greatest potentaes of his
proving that given time, opportunity and edEcaon it

rise of these two into "Nobehood' is particularly
gratifying in this day and age when have identified

Marshall Plan

Sweden sees no need for particle

Sweden expects to satisfy her

WASHINGTON STATE: A POLITICAL TEST.TUBE

conservatives with individuals
constantly changing sides due to
good or bad luck in their personal
enterprises) and liberals were fair
ly evenly balanced. But Ameri-
cans have always been intensely
property conscious.
This has been true to such an
extent that foreign observers can
detect no real difference between
the two leading parties. Hamilton
came from the lower classes and
thought and acter like an aristo-
crat; Jefferson was an aristocrat,
as was Franklin Roosevelt, yet
was primarily concerned with the
welfareNef the laboring man. There
has never been true labor party,
and socialism, communism, and
extreme political views have al
ways been powerless on the fringe
of the American set-up. Yet most
people agree that a Conservative
and Liberal Ito choose names that

history Administration is not the
same.
The answer to this paradox is in
the presidential office, which is
as elastic and unexplored as the
Constitution, itself, and the in
herent capacities of the President
as an Administrator. Lincoln
founded the Republican Party and
Theodore Roosevelt was its most
successful administrator. The
Democrats like to trace their pedi-
gree through Andrew Jackson to
jefferson. The very concern with
the names of Presidents, by whom
whole eras are identified, proves
that the principle problem is ac-
quiring a good administrator in
the Presidential Office.

can make a young administrator
gray before his time.
The people of a State with such
noble aims especially need to be
acutely aware of the nature of the
government we possess. The very
very best ideas can be ruined and
discredited before they have a full
trial if they are pushed too hard
and too fast outside of the over
all framework of society. We like
to imagine that because the voice
of the people" speaks that the
problem is solved. Far from it.
In order to understand our form
of Government, in Washington
State as much as in the country
as whole, we must go back to
history to the founding of the
nation.
All Americans, after the Revolu-
tionary War, were more or less
agreed that there had to be a

the war had been fought, primar-

They were by no means agreed on
the relationship which property
and persons should bear to each
other and to the government. The
Constitution was compromise
and very elastic one.
Within the opinion of the nation
as a whole, as expressed in it's
press and political organizations,
each attitude found spokesman. AL
exander Hamilton and his party
emerged as the leaders of a sound
government based on the duty of
the Federal power to protect the
interests of property. This bias in
thought gave rise to the Jeffer-
sonian Party which felt that the
responsibility of government was
the protection of per sons and their
rights even, occasic nally, at the
expense of property interests.
In an expanding economy on a
rich, unexpected continent there
was no real quarrel between The

fact that sphere of economic influence in the world

Revenue Collected

In keeping with the appeal of the

heads to make every effort to col
lect outstanding revenue, excellent
results have come from three
sources. The magistrates office
has collected $1,75O in defaulted
bail bonds, some of which have
been in default for more than a
year.
The city assessor has collected
about $4,000 in delinquent sales
tax revnues and that official also
is collecting delinquent unsecured
personal property taxes, some of
which have been on the books for
years.
Other departments have been
urged to look over their delinquent
accounts and get in as much money
as possible before the end of the
fiscal year.
