STAR—WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6. PAGE 4 Seattle has cause for congratulation that Judge Thomas Burke has so cheerfully accepted the suggestion of The Star that he head a move- ment to obtain a reduction of rental rates in down- town Seattle. No more optimistic news could have been given to local merchants and,to the general public than published in The Star Tuesday—that Judge Burke has taken up the question of rents with the Seattle Building Owners’ and Managers’ associa- Mall, out of elty, Bho per mm By carri Daily by The Star Publishing Co.

It is sure to be asked if God wasn't the other side when the enemy drove Wilhelm back from which was the main objective when Wilhelm went to Also, it will be asked if God is with “the Russian bar- ” in their successful efforts to keep Von Hindenburg celebrating New Year's day in Warsaw Oh, well! the kaiser is like all the rest of us .

Who could be better fitted to make this appeal than Judge Thomas Burke? A landlord himeelf, president of the Chamber of Commerce, a man who has dealt on the square with his own tenants, Judge Burke is the man who must deliver Seattle from the extortionate rents which heretofore have been thoughtlessly allowed to grow higher higher without pronounced protest.

Of this amount, the candidates themselves contrib-| fed $271,929.26, according to the reports made to the secre- of the senate. Let’s see: Thirty-one states, with an average of ‘hie! didates in each, would mean an average of about $2,924) each candidate, wouldn't it?

But the cheerful part of it is that at last some active force has been invoked which eventually is bound to succeed. “It’s no easy thing to tell any one what rents to charge,” Judge Burke says to The Star, Perhaps, after Judge Burke shall have told the Building Owner#’ and Managers’ association what ought to be done, the landlords will pay no atten- tion to him. The importance of the thing, hawever, is the fact that Judge Burke has taken up the question at all. [Wis Yruwr He Papers ARE RUNNING, ABOUT BO MANY. MOR] HOPPING DAYS TLC CHRISTMAS, GiVe® Me A PAIN!

If no immediate results are obtained, Judge Burke will at least have been the instru- rn to sow the seed which will some day bear ruit, But The Star is confident that Judge Burke can present the rental situation to his colleagues in such a way as will enlist their support instead of their opposition to a reduction of rates. If, in this accomplishment, The Star has been or will be able to give any measure of assistance, it shall be indeed happy.
