Seven years! later the province of Ontario discovered its mistake —discovered that it had murdered a guiltless man. But it is helpless now. It cannot give breath to the life it snuffed out. It cannot make restitution. It cannot give him a new start. To be sure, capital punishment does not often fall on the heads of the innocent. But it does fall occasionally. And, however rare that occasion, it is of sufficient freqnency to place it under a permanent ban wherever civilization seeks true progress, Washington was one of the states to recognize this a few years ago. It had abolished capital punishment. But a later legislature amended the law, restoring it. To date, the only person sentenced to death in this state under the amended law is 19-year-old Isom White, a boy whose mental qualities are seriously in doubt. Would that the future may bring no such regrets to the state of Washington as the officials of Ontario now face. ° ° Distributing the Tax Load Industrial progreas of Seattle is handicapped, according to the bureau of taxation of the Chamber of Commerce, by the high rate of taxes on permpnal and real property. We are faced, furthermore, by higher taxation next year, thru the granting of one day off in seven to firemen and policemen, unless economies are obtained in some other departmenta, The taxation bureau is right—as far as it goes, But does ft go far enough? Is there any reason why taxation should be wholly imposed upon personal and rea} property? If a man has cash, he escapes city, school, county and state taxes. If, In place of cash, he owns a little home, he pays these taxes, ‘The burden of taxation ts not distributed equally, If a man owns a plano, he pays taxes on it. If he keeps his money in the bank, he remains untaxed. If he buys furniture, he pays taxes, lives in @ hotel room and retains his cash, he is untaxed. If a man has $50,000 cash in the bank, neither state, county, school, or city taxes are paid on it. If he buys $50,000 worth of machinery and starts up an industrial plant, immediately he is required to pay his share of state, city, county and school taxea, It might be well for the taxation bureau to consider a more equitable distribution of the tax load.

The high relative value built into Goodyear * Tires, of the 30 x 3-, 30 x 34%, and 31 x 4-inch sizes, results from the application of Goodyear experience and care to their manufacture in the world’s largest tire factory devoted to these sizes. Such facts explain why more cars, using these sizes, were factory-equipped last year with Goodyear Tires than with any other kind. If you drive a Ford, Chevrolet, Maxwell or ' Dort, take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy true Goodyear mileage and economy; equip your car with Goodyear Tires and Heavy Tourist Tubes at our nearest Service Station.
