THE SEATTLE STAR Member vt Velied Wren. Wihinie d dnlly he The iar Publishing Go at a8 Putting "Em Off at Buffalo The Social Survey in Buffalo shows that unskilled laborers get $1.50 a day, which, allowing for Sundays, holidays and un AVOidable idleness, amounts to oaly $400 a year It is also found that the lowest amount for which the labor €f can support his family with any approach to decency is $500 a year. A yawning gulf of $160 a year ‘twixt income and outgo for thousands of families! S “Why?” asks the Survey. “Foreign immigrants,” they av swer. “Then what shall we do about it?” is-asked Simplest istant editor thing in the world,” says Mr. Paul M. Kellogg, of the Survey. “Provide by law that the unskilled immigrant shall not be employed by corporations until five years after nat Uralization for less than $2 or $3 a day—practically prohibitive. Allright. The native gets the job at a living wage and the im Migrant stops crowding into the city and goes to the country, where he’s needed, or else he won't come at all.’ That's how Mr. Kellogg would put ‘em off at Buffalo! Permit us to ask a few Will organized capital, which wants the cheapest labor, al low congress to pass such a law Will the courts allow it to stand, if congress passes it? Wh less deficiency of $160 a year while we are talking about it, While congress is legislating, and while the courts are interpret ? And who will bury the poor devils and their innocent babies if they starve to death in the meantime? We could ask a lot more, but probably these few will keep Mr. Kellogg busy for awhile Dogs and Bankers Butte, Mont., has a socialist administration which is in- Vestigating the mysteries of government as formerly conducted by business interests. They make this startling announcement * “We find that dogs have been paying more taxes than _ bankers.” z Now, that’s interesting. It suggests that if we get noth- ing else out of the socialist administrations recently placed in Charge of numerous Western cities, we may get information ‘about the inside workings of public affairs that we have never had before. Let's see: Why should a dog contribute more to the public treasury than a banker? At first blush we can't, for the life of 8, see why—but hold on! Perhaps it’s because the banker has “& bigger pull with the assessors. Can that be it? The Touch of ‘Nature Mayor Gaynor’s popularity has waned of late and he has Become the subject of severe criticism, particularly with regard #6 his police administration, But he has disarmed criticism by this pathetic statement: “I am conscious of my shortcomings and of how much I have tried the patience of every one, but I have done the best I © ould to stick to the job.” Re Remembering the attempted assassination and how he was Weakened by the shock, all New York took off its hat when this apology was offered, and Judge Gaynor seems likely to have the © fullest opportunity to regain his standing as “the best mayor New York ever had.” .. You see, almost everybody is decent when you touch the tight chord. Observations GEE WHIZ!

We have heard a Mex band play “America.” We did not rise. We lay down and} tried to dic. “America” played by a Mex band is a noise that no gen- tleman will rise to. | | In the Editor’s Mail} Editor Star: [ just finished read ing about that poor, unfortunate Mrs. Napolitano.
