REFERS TO OVERHKAD AND TO DISTRIBUTION Taxes arise from the needs of the government, Meacham stated, calling them the “overhead of the human race.” There are two phases to the tax question, he maid, first, amount of overhead, and second, who whall bear the burden of the over head. Meacham rap counter to the wpirit of the crowd in dealing th the second phase of the ques when he mid, “Suppose we do cut pay it? “Yor instance, 3 cents out of every dollar goes to maintain the found the way out. tax laws passed, making that the money they have ts being spent right. Then will be the time [to take steps to raise more, he maid. King county is $28,954,079, Thomas mid. “Before we co to the legtelature for new laws, we must cut out the criminal extravagance right here at home,” Thomas declared. “Just see how work is duplicated. You build & house. First the health inspector pays you a visit Then the sewer inspector. Then the building in. spector looks it over and finally a man comes from the lighting depart. ment. At the end of the month a man comes to read the water meter. then another to read the licht moter. You get two bills in separate en. velopes. “If T went Into a store and bought a rocking chair in one department and @ stove tn another, do you think 1 would get two separate bills with their extra postage and all? Ien't it silly?’ ‘Thomas scored the buflding of the Roosevelt high school, which, he said, cont four times as much as any other high school in the city, and flayed the syaterg of supervisors in the school department, “There is a superintendent In each building.” he said. “Then there are some 20 odd mupervisors. And then there are supervisors to supervian the supervisors! COULD SAVE $1,500,000 A YEAR HERE “Here is another example of waste. The county maintains a hospital in Then they go miles away and buy a farm at the Wil lows. “They raise produce at the Wil lows, cart it many miles by anto truck to the hospital each day—and then cart the garbage from the hos- pital back to the farm, instead of having the two institutions com | bined, as would be the common sense way.” Thomas @eclared that $1,500,000 could be waved in taxes next year |if rigid economy was practiced in all departments of city and county government. Then we can go to the legislature, he added. “Take garbage disponal.” he said. “Why should we pay 0,000 for that item last year? Cleveland, O,, with 400,000 more people than we have, paid $260,000 leas!’ SAYS SHE SPEAKS “FROM INSIDE” Mies Mary ¥. Bullock, 208 Ww. Blaine st., received a rousing hand and cries of “More! More! when she concluded a few remarks “from the inside’ on the question of school supervision. “I taught in Seattle schools for many years before I quit to go into business,” she said, “What good 1s a supervisor? Listen, When supervisor comes into the room and says good morning, looks around By The weak teacher probably listens to some of the suggestions offered. But the weak teacher has no business in the schools! “What we want Is to get the bent teachers there are, then leave them | first!” alone, The leas any of these super visors get in $2,990 a year.

Flagg, of the Federated Improvement club. “They are called the Sons of Rest by the city hall folks,” he said. “Their entire function is in connec ion with the telephone and gas nye tems, and the state controls thore ab. solutely. The publie utilities office should be abolished.” ROOSEVELT HIGH BITTERLY SCORED John W. Roberts was greeted with proionged applause when he called the granting of the Roosevelt high school contract a “crime.” “In the face of denunciatory reso- lutions of practically every business club organization in the city,” he sald, “three men—Carl Croson, Henry King and Claude Eckhart— had the temerity to crogs the will of the people. It is up to us to let them know that they can not stand in the face of an aroused public nentiment! “If the bonds for the Roosevelt high school are bought--and thank God no one has bid on them yet}— Seattle sehool property will be bond- ed for 82 per cent of its value. That situation isn’t paralleled in the Unit- ed States! The school property in Portland is bonded for 7 per cent of its value; in Spokane the figure is 25 per cent.” Roberts also attacked the purchase of the ferries by the county. NOT SATISFIED WITH 3-MILL CUT “The people tax themselves to purchase them,” he kaid, “and now are being taxed to keep them up. The lows to the county for operation alone of the ferries was $443,00 last year.

The only champion of the present school system was a man named Da Pen, of Ballard, who deciared that he was willing to put his money in the school any time. He took exception to the statement of Jay Thomas that music was one of the frills to be eliminated from the curriculum. “The schools,” he declared, “are the making of America. If I had my way,” he said, “there would be a teacher for every 26 pupils instead of every 31, as at present.” The following organizations were represented at the meeting, according to the official roster: g Civic Affairs committea, Seattle lodge No, 10, Knights of Pythias, at whose behest the meeting was held; I, O.
