S. J. McAllister of Portland) put the question of the single tax op a moral js, ak well as on an @¢o nomic one, using the Lord's Prayer as his text. He said the earth was not given to a chosen few. Miss Margaret Haley of Chicago pointed out the inequality of taxa tion at present by showing that the S. BE. Co. had been taxed on less than $16,000,000 last year, although it admitted to the public service commission, in order to have its rates raised, that ite property was valued’ at $40,000,000. W. Hi. Kaufman of Beillingh: an sensor of Whatcom county, pointed out the possibilities of greater prow perity in Seattle from the adoption of the single tax, It will ine the batiding activity and will brit factories here, he said.

Statements to that effect cireulated by the Gillites are misrepresentations of the facts, and are so branded by the members of the grand jury themselves. Ali of the grand jurors who are voters in the city resent the insinuation that they gave Gill a clean Dill of health. They have issued the following state ment: We, the former members of the last King county grand jury, want to state to the public that our intent as shown by our report on Mayor Gill has been misconstrued by the public. It was not the purpose of the jury to exonerate Mr. Gill, but rather to account for the fact that it had found no indictment agai him. ‘ We want to state further that in our opinion Mr. Gill is not only unfit for mayor of Seattle, but it would be a calamity for him to be re-elected. We feel that our nine months recently spent in investigating the underworld and affairs of this city | warrants us in saying to the public that not 5 per cent of the | voters of Seattle do now, or can be made to comprehend the hellish condition that was foisted upon our public by a modern vice syndicate. As the campaign is now lining up, it is clear that the same old issues are presenting themselves and that Seattle is in dan- ger of again becoming one of the three protected cities of the United States. We believe in the wisdom of our laws when enforced by upright officers and courts, and shall therefore most heartily support Mr, Cotterill JOHN CONNOR. THOMAS REED. WILLIAM J. GREER. FRANK J. SMITH. Four years ago Hiram C. Gill said: “If I had my way, I'd pile the socialists 10 deep in the city jail, and put bricks on them.” Let the Slogan of Tomorrow Be: Pile Gillism in the city morgue with 50,000 honest peo- le’s ballots to bury it. Fireside or Waste Basket? Mr. Advertiser, whence come results from your advertising, from the fireside or from the waste basket? Is it not a fact that the evening paper is delivered INTO the home either by the carrier boy or by the head of the house, who purchases it ere he takes his homebound car? And is it not a fact that 6 times out of 10 the head of the house sticks the paper in his pocket to read on his office- bound car, and that after a very brief perusal it goes into the waste basket? The Evening Paper is the paper that ALL THE FAMILY reads, through and through. The Star is read by OVER 40,000 FAMILIES DAILY. You can’t help but get abundant results from the use of its columns.
