They mean greater stability employment, more money in circula- tion, more homes, more business. _ A movement is now on to organize an iting company, to promote in- : 1 growth here. It is a movement worthy of every ounce of support we each give it. William Pigott, who | 4 built up a magnificent industry in | , has started the ball rolling with a subscription of $25,000. Other big manufacturers and busi- houses are asked to contribute. But it is not alone private individuals firms who can assist the work of industrial boosting campaign. The greatest contribution of all can made by the state of Washington— changing its antiquated tax system. INDUSTRIAL GROWTH AND TAXATION ARE CLOSELY IN- TERWOVEN.

Which is true in other state, too, BUT— In these other states, other forms of wealth are ALSO taxed. The tax is not all centered on real estate and tangible property. The tax is spread to incomes, in some states, and to “intangible” property, such as idle money in the bank. Accordingly, the load is lifted to that extent from real and personal prop- erty. And the tax RATE is proportion- ately lower. A law tax rate will bring industry | here, and will let industry live and| thrive here after it becomes estab- lished. What Washington needs moit to es- tablish industries is the lowest tax rat: in the country. Washington can have it. Seattle c» have it, just as easily as San Francisco and Jersey City. It can be accomplished by adopting the California, New Jersey or New York systems of taxation! Give this state the means of cutting its tax levy on property down to about 12 mills on a 100 per cent valuation, as in San Francisco, and you will see here the greatest revival in its history. It will pay then to own homes. It will pay then to establish industries. And when more homes are built, and more indus- tries are located, there will be more em- ployment, and more employment means | more business and more prosperity. How can the property tax be reduced to 12 mills? By the legislature of the state of Washington. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. We can cut our expenses to the very bone, but we will remain far from the 12-mill mark, where we ought to be. The legislature alone can give this city and this state the substantial relief it must have. The legislature alone has the power to submit the constitutional amendments that will turn the desired trick. And unless we have a special session of the legislature, this matter will be de- layed, UNNECESSARILY, for two years, without any assurance whatever that the regular session of 1923 will take up the problem. The greatest impetus that can be giv- en to the movement to underwrite in- dustries in Seattle is a new tax system. The greatest contribution to the indus- trial boosters’ organization is not some- thing any private person can give. It is something that the state, and the state alone, can give. It is a tax system that will give this city an opportunity to fix a tax levy as low as any on the Coast. . nowadays.—Chicago Journal of Commerce. says the women of Abyssinia have the priv- Well, what’s “T am coming across i other, one at 800 miles a day, the other In how many days will they be esterday's: 125 per cent gain, (SETH TANNER To be a good sport is a most neo ensary qualification for political life Mra, W.

BARTON The study of anatomy is an indispensable part of the preparation of @ Phyrician for his life work, and some knowledge of it is good for other people. ‘ Every medical student, pondering over his Gray's Anatomy, is told that no man really learns that massive text book until he has forgotten ft three times. As @ further crumb of comfort he i» informed that Gray Himeecif failed on his firet examination in anatomy. As a means of know. ing anatomy, the disweMting roor is @ recognized adjunet to the work of the class room. It is eaid that the average medical student, when he once gets fairly into his anatomical work, becomes incapable of meeting and_ conversing with any human being without thinking, while he talks, how this partie: ular person would cut up. That is the sume sort of mild obsession which the same student under goes when he thinks himself possensed of al) the diseases which he studies about That stage of learning passes. And that iw fortunate Long before o medical student becomes a physician be is able to meet hin friends with out mentally sawing their bones or hacking into their tinnues.
