Now, the relation of master and servant pein shown to exist, the law is quite clear that no person has the right to entice away another's servant The right Of the stp ter to have his servant continue in his employ without moles tation or enticement by any third party.is a property right, so recognized by law.” f such be the law, down with the law! fe Reader, if you work for another, you are a “servant, as such you are “property,” according to a man who has been laced on the highest bench in the land. But it is only a lawyer’s conception of law based on old-time precedent that went out of effect when Lee surrendered. The law that says you are a “servant” and “property” lies, because it 18 a plain perversionsof facts, a contradiction of truth 2 ‘ There was a time when pretty much all human beings were either masters or servants, The master even flogged his servant and despoiled his family, Labor was dishonor and degradation. The reward of labor was fixed by law, and dis- tinction by classes was enforced. That tine has passed, but such were its tyranny, its oppression, its outrages, that the Stench of it stili clings to the terms “master” and “servant. To these terms still clings the notion of property rights in human beings. The office help, the factory employe, | even the kitchen girl will not rest under the name “servant,” not- withstanding that we still have law for it. If you doubt this, the test ‘in ir OWN casey i Bigg ot and Bn !” It smacks of “owner and slave, and orily those affect it who really do believe in property in human beings, or pretend so to believe in order to appear high- toned, socia’ /y. s We are ai fellow beings. Through the slough of selfish- ness, through years of misery, through decades of injustice, we are struggling toward a common brotherhood, and already we feel that to labor is honorable and ennobling, that labor fs one of the greatest of all blessings, and that each one’s ee share, be he employer or employe, is the foundation of ppiness. “Master and servant!” It may stand in the law. It does not stand in the lives of free men. It is only the idlers of ial privil who demand this pound of flesh gramted by the letter of a mummified law. DID you notice that N. H. Latimer, president of the, Dex- ter. Horton bank, J. E. Chilberg of the Scandinavian American bank, and James D.

R. said terday. What a lot of bother and doubt it would have saved the colonel had spoken right up like that in the first j'ace 2 That employers’ liability commission which has just re- *“ported to congress puts valuations on various parts of our “anatomy that will be disputed. a i Compensatory payments fot an arm are for 72 mionths; - a leg, 66 months; an eye, 30 months; a thumb, 13 months, If you had to lose either an arm or a leg, which would you ‘¢hoose? Much depends upon what your calling is, but prob- “ably the majority of whole people would vote to do, without the leg. Yet almost invariably the one-armed man looks upon one-legged man as the more unfortunate, and vice versa. indoubtedly the fellow who earns his living by brain work, and especially he who can have a beautiful typewriter lady, would sacrifice the arm. But the vast majority of workers @re dependent upon use of their hands, and so that com- mission is right in placing the higher value on the arm. But when it comes to placing much higher valuation on an eye than on a thumb, it i¢ evident that the commission fever lost a thumb. Man is much more beautiful with two eyes than with one, but it is a fact that the loss of one -ve does not seriously interfere, in the great majority of instances. with the unfortunate one’s career. A fellow can “go it with one eye on the job” in most cases, but you just tie your thumb out of action and note the many things you cannot do. However, while one thumb may be more valuable than one eye, basing the estimate on ability to do things, the loss of both thumbs is not to be compared to the loss of both eyes Maybe that commission based its estimate on future risks. What do you think about it? If you had to part with oa of your anatomy, what part would you select? _ Looks ike an easy question, but wait a minute. Scientists tell us that not long ago, considering the ex- treme age of this earth of ours, one of man’s most essent'al members was a long prehensile tail, by which he hung fiom the branches while he reached for the toothsome acorn. Sud- denly, relatively speaking, man gets along reasonably well Without that tail, Tomorrow man is going to fly. Which part of you will you need most as a flyer? GOOD evening! Notice the news of blizzards in the West? . Why don’t we boost Seattle as a winter resort? A little more development of beauty spots round about, and perhaps a few big tourist hotels, together with national publicity, would bring tens of thousands more tourists here THE CITY PLAN To the Readers of the Seattle Star: Throngh the courtesy of the editor of The Star, the Muntcipal Jeague of Seattle has been granted the privilege of placing before the public the reasons why the league believes the public should vote for th city plan to be submitted at the general election, March 6th. The fol- Jowing is the fourth of a series of brief statements whieh will appear un- der the authority of the Munictpal league STATEMENT NO. 4 OF MUNICIPAL LEAGUE How often do we see the sign “Forced to Close"? We do not real- ize unless we talk with retail storekeepers that forced to close means “Forced to close because of high rents.” Due to Seattie’s billy topography the retail business area has been restricted, up to within a few years, to First and Second avenues, It fg practically confined at present to First, Second and Third avenues. This situation has given to the fortunate owners of a comparatively few lots a land monopoly, On it they have thrived and grown rich, In the last year one of these owners, who holds one of the beat corners on Second avenue, has doubled his rent, Other rehts have been increased almost ammuch. It is the consumer who has ultimately to Pay these rents. The storekeeper adds it on to the price of goods. ie owner and operator of a plant, which manufactures Jadies’ multe, stated in a public meeting within the past week that he had here the second largest establishment of this kind west of the Mississippi Fiver, that just prior to the garment makers’ atrike in New York city he bad planned to move his business to New York, but had delayed doing #0 on account of that strike. His reason for moving from Seattle to New York, where one cannot contend that rents are low, was due to the rent charged on his business here. This rent charge he sald was the chief item of cost in the manufacture of these ladies’ suits, and because of it he was not able to compete with similar establishments located in the East. Do we wonder why Seattle's greatest need, a dinner pail has not been forthcoming? . 1 2 a Se 0 THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE OF SEATTLE. fHE STAR—TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1912, The Boarding-House = Wit-—Mr. Slimdief never laughs at my witti- ent sallies.
