Nulle is recognized as quite the best all-around hotel man in the United States, “It would be almost out of the question to interest Eastern hotel men in the Seattle project to the ex tent of putting up building cont= as well as operating finances,” Nufie + , I would think that with a $4, 000,000 building contemplated, about | a million and a half shauld be sub scribed locally, and the remainder | could be obtained on mortgage bonds. Then woul come the far-| nishing of the hotel agd operating details, This would require further investment—it might be financed by second mortgage bonds.” Naulle arrived in Seattle Monday | morning, and will leave this evening. He is on a vacation trip, and it is his first visit here. | eee RSA RLLTEL SLE LEOR stC HE SEATTLE STAR is gratified beyond measure by the instant and enthusiastic re- sponse to its Saturday editorial setting forth the city’s immediate need of a modern and locally financed hotel. To the many business and professional men who have promised their aid, unbounded thanks are due. Public enthusiasm has made The Star’s task much easier—so much easier thatwe are today condensing into this small space the points and arguments that we had originally intended should last thruout the week. HE SEATTLE STAR has no real estate to sell The Star has no pet corporations to boost. The Star has no hidden wires to manipulate, no family friends to favor, no special interests to serve. The Star acts only FOR SEATTLE. And The Star hopes that everybody concerned in the = ony for and construc- tion of this hotel will bear im mind that it is being built not for them but for the community; not forthe few, but for the many; not for tourists only, but FOR SEATTLE. With this foreword we s quickly to six matters that, ‘we believe, merit early and earnest consideration: FIRST— ‘ This hotel should be designed by Seattle arehitects and decorated by Seattle artists; financed by Seattle dollars and erected by Seattle brawn; furnished by Seattle merchants with the products of Seattle factories; ted by Seattle citizens and directed by Seattle brains. It should be SEAT- TLE’S hotel. SECOND— There should be as eager a welcome for the man with a dollar as for the man with a million. It should be a demo- cratic hotel. There should be private dining-rooms, luxuri- ous restaurants, banquet halls and beauty parlors—cer- tainly, certainly! But there should also be a cafeteria, a quick-service counter, facilities for gatherings, large and small, and hospitality ever at hand for those upon whom the success of the enterprise depends—the Seattle public. THIRD— Ownership should extend to the small business man, the wage earner, the salaried employe. Stock or bonds should be sold in amounts as low as $100. “If the hotel is to cost five million dollars, the number of stockholders should be not five hundred, as someone has suggested, but FIVE THOUSAND, in order that as many sections of the caom- munity as possible may feel that it is THEIR HOTEL. FOURTH— It should be kept AMERICAN. Every precaution should be taken to prevent alien interests acquiring even partial control; and the operating staff thruout should be thoroly American. FIFTH— Capital and labor should co-operate amicably in its con- struction and maintenance; which means that capital must curb its rabid reactionaries and labor must choke off its red revolutionists. SIXTH— Full pubficity should attend poe stp in the promotion and construction of this hotel, so t those who put their money in it. may know exactly where itis going, and there will be no opportunity for enrichment of petty grafters or predatory profiteers. The site should be chosen for con- venience as well as beauty; the structure should be de- signed for service rather than profit. ‘HESE, ladies and gentlemen, are the sentiments of The Seattle Star in connection with the meeting of this great civic necessity. ’ To those who are expert in such matters we now cheer- fully relinquish the leadership—particularly to Mr. A. J. Rhodes, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce hotel com- mittee, who is the first subscriber and the responsible organizer of the campaign. On the six points above outlined there are many other ane ne might be said—and if the need arises they will be said. Information that The Star has gathered, and is gathering, will be gladly placed at the disposal of the hotel committee and printed in these columns for the benefit of the commun- ity—FOR SEATTLE!
