Phome Mam 0400 THE $$ IN IT HE “S” in “sentiment,” as far as this nation goes, should undoubtedly be written “Ss.” Our foreign friends call us a nation of money grabbers. We guess they are right. Uncle Sam has just sold the famous old front steps of the national capitol, which have been the scane of the inauguration of many of our presi- dents. Numbers of famous gatherings have been held on these steps, the capitol’s first. Hollowed’ out by the footsteps of generations of America’s greatest men, they are being replaced by granite steps. Instead of being preserved, or at any rate used for the thousand and one purposes to which they might be adapted, they are sold to private indi- viduals for, probably, a paltry sum.

NEW YORK’S SORRY EXHIBITION HERE is no question that progressivism, within and without party lines, has resulted in the promo- tion of human happiness in this country during the past five or more years. Yet there is to be con- certed action, by politicians, to charge against progres- sivism the unemployment, business depression and other calamities the country has recently felt, or thought it telt, and there is to be a great effort to stir up reaction. Take the ‘great state of New York, often called the deciding state in politics, It is trying to get up a new constitution, and all its progressive effort, thought and progress have been suppressed, while the constitu- tion is being put together by Grandpa Root, Boss Bill Barnes and the corporation servants of Tammany, whose program is to abolish all that has been done for popular government, regulation of sweat-shops, suppres- sion of child-labor, minimum wage laws and social wel- fare legislation, It is standpat radicalism become rabid. What they are putting thru in New York state they'll try elsewhere. The workingman who thinks of becoming reactionary is simply proposing to cut his own throat. He is being “worked” for the support of PAGE 4. GETTING A FAIR RETURN N 1943, an inquiry was precipitated in the legi lature for the investigation of water front grants and leases in Seattle, it bei shown that some of the most valuable docksites, belonging to the state, have been leased for almost nothing to private concerns. In many instances, the private: lessees even failed to make any improvements, as required by the terms of the lease with the state. In some cases, sales, alleged to be without legal sanction, have been made of valuable state harbor lands. For a while, considerable excitement reigned over the proposed investigation. But it soon van- ished, and the attorney general, tho instructed finally to start action, has so far done nothing Not until the other day, when the Seattle port commission obtained an annual rental of $1,400 instead of the measly $10 of years gone by, from the Standard Oil Co. for the use of a street end along West Railroad ave., has there been anything done to get a just return for the people’s property.
