People have to pay a whopping general tax, 4 z } poll tax, a gas tax, an auto tax, a driver's tax, and several other varieties of taxes.

You are in the same class as the silly lads Who smoke in bed. I'd like to see the careless folks who Y, leave fires burning in the woods sent to jail for life. . CHIEF SEATTLE.

I noticed a lot of motorixts yeu ite having trouble with the road signs. Signs were clear enough; told directions fine—this way to Kenton, that way to Issaquah, ete. B they didn’t tell how FAR. Sort of handy to know. Why not them read “Renton, five miles”? Too costly to change all those no doubt. But you'll be needing new ones, byand-by. Why not adopt this suggestion for the new ones? CHIEF SEATTLE. > the Directors of the Community .Fund _ Your movement to concentrate all city solicitation for charttable _ purposes in a single campaign and to have a community chest for various philanthropic uses is highly commendable. We are all sick of “drives.” We have been driven to death, Let's organize our chari- ties like we organize our business. Here's wishing you luck ‘* CHIEF SEATTLE. ‘ To Puget Sound Caterpillars - Dear Bugs: Of course I know you've got to live. You provide food sparrows and chipmunks and cute little baby weazelx. You make paths slippery. You drop down the necks of screaming girls. You crawi into the soup in summer camps. You spoil the trees. You are almost as useful as the mosquito and I love you for it. But, gosh, I wish somebody would invent something that would send you all to the Caterpillar hades. CHIEF SEATTLE. T o the Great Northern Railway Dear Louis et al.: Now that we're to have American liners de luxe landing every once in a while from the Orient at the new Smith Cove port commission piers, wouldn't it be a good thing if you slicked up your property at the Cove a ba? Your front yard looks junky. It doesn't give newcomers a good first impression of the city.
