Imagine the city of Seattle fur- nishing drivers at big salartes for istrict chiefs who draw only about $136 a month themselves.

ADVICE FOR 8. E. CO. Editor The Star: Hark to the 8. FE. Co, in the role of solicitous guardian, chief counselor and teach- jer to the people, This beneficent corporation must appreciate, I am sure, any idea or suggestion which may tend to lighten the arduous Ia- | bor necessary to the fulfillment of | its self-imposed obligation; hence, with all 4 ‘espect, I come forward with a proposition along other lines of education. I am forced to believe | it will have the present system now }in use by the aforesaid corporation beaten by a mile—and then some. |, I submit that, in leu of the high- brow arguments hitherto employed | in the con sion of a chilk-like, | butterfly-chasing populace, a deal | Breater headway might be made by | adopting a more simple or compre- hensive language tn its ade—for in- | stance, if only words of one ayliable were used.
