The Star has done its best in behalf of the creation, by the voters tomor- row, of a logged off land improvement district in‘ King county. Mayor Cotterill, Ole Hanson, Frederick Bausman—hundreds of the best kind of right-thinking people—are for it. They have turned out and worked for it. And now it is up to YOU whether public welfare or the special interests | shall be served at tomorrow’s election. Don’t be lulled into a sense of indifference. That is what the special inter- jest gang is counting on. | It knows the ordinary man and woman must make a sacrifice to get away on a busy Saturday to vote. | The men who have been spending the money to finance the campaign |against the creation of the logged-off land district, the crowd that has been des- |perately scheming to oust Bob Bridges from the port commission because he has been faithful to the interests of the people, are depending upon a light vote. |They themselves will be out in full force. They have the time, and the leisure, and the inclination, prompted by selfish interests, to go to the polls. The logged-off land district will not raise taxes. It is not a grafting scheme. Don’t be misled by the eleventh hour flaws they presume to have found in the law. Technical flaws are mere details which the next legislature can remedy, IF NECESSARY! The important thing is to start work on logged-off land NOW, before the |Panama influx of immigration, not afterward. IT Is YOUR DUTY TO GET OUT AND VOTE!
