Business Man Sees Big Op-| portunity There; Says We're in Good Shape By BE. P. CHALCRAFT Altho the well-known advice t “Go West, young man, go West, is commonty supposed to have been rendered obsolete with the spread of ‘America’s population to the very surf of the Pacific, 8. G. Anderson, president of the Western Dry Goods company, and chairman of the for eign trade bureau of the Chamber, of Commerce, believes that Seattle's | Breatest business future still lies toward the setting sum. i} “Every business man in Seattle ought to make a trip to the Orient,” Anderson said today to The Star. “No matter how short his stay, I am confident he would return with ‘@ vision of opportunity that can be ‘acquired in no other way. IMPORTANT TO KNOW SITUATION IN ORIENT “For one thing, the business man learns at first hand the present “situation in the Orient will be able ‘to handle his own foreign business More intelligently, Then, too, he ‘will learn that it is essential for us to purchase as well as to sell, That's ‘an important lesson; and that ts one thing to be borne in mind in fram- tng the new tariff bill, “We must have a tariff, of course, to protect our industries. We could ‘Rot begin to compete with most of the foreign countries, where labor ‘and materials.are so cheap and the) rate of exchange so low, on a no- | tariff basis. But if placed too high, tariff will act as a boomerang | oe defeat its purpose.

Chambers (Newspaper man and resident of Kirk-| |innd, who has been closely associated with’ the develop: forry system during formerly chairman committer of the ¥ Side recently . fight agninst the leasing of the ferry yeteun.) ‘That it te the people in the rural) rections who are the principal bene ficiartes of the ferry service main- tained by the county is the opinion | that apparently prevails in some circles, One of Seattle's dafly papers gave! forth an editorial utterance a few | weeks ago that upheld this idea. It) is absolutely incorrect. The ferries were supported by Seattle business interests in the beginning because | they realized that it would be a tre | mendous business asset to the city and time has ‘vindicated their judg ment, Across Lake Washington alone, a trading population is made accessi-| ble to Seattle stores that is greater than the population of Everett. This) territory has been brought 80 close | to Seattle that it is, from a business standpoint, a part of Seattle, HEAVY V JME OF FREIGHT TRANSPORTED From records kept on freight passing over the ferry Lincoln in the month of July, we find freight | transported at the rate of over 25,000 tons annually. July is by no means the best month in the year, expecially | this year when the financial depres sion was at its worst. Thiy total will come nearer 40,000 tons than 28,000 for the entire year, Bear in mind that the freight men- tioned was that handled by trucks} alone on the Lincoln and did not in-| clude the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods of all kinds, carried over by hand and by private automobile, Take the 90 per cent of the rest dents of that section and you will find that every article of clothing from hat to shoes was purchased in Seattle. Tons of Seattle groceries are consumed in their homes every day. Seattle furniture stores have furnished their homes and every other line of merchandise finds cus- tomers on the East Side, This is equally true on Vashon. island. Add to the freight that passes over the Lincoln that which goes to| the Bellevue-Medina sections, Mer cer Island, and Vashon Island and| you can readily understand why Se- attle business men realize the im- portance of the ferry system. SENTIMENT ADVERSE TO SEATTLE DEVELOPS The attitude of several of Seattle's large property owners towards the ferry service has within recent years been Interpreted by residerts of the territory lying east of Lake Wash- ington as being antagonistic to that section, While the merchants of the city have not been party to what has been done, they have lost much busi- ness as the direct result of this senti- ment. Everett has become aware of this condition and is making cap- Even as the tree sends forth its roots to gather. sustenance and strength from the surrounding soil, so must a city draw its strength from the surrounding territory. ‘The Chamber of Commerce sends forth its hundreds of thousands to attract new industries and more peo ple to Seattle, It is well that this be done, but in reaching out for more we should take heed that we lose not what we have, ‘Where the ferries mean pennies to the communities acrosg the waters, they mean dollars to Seattle. COUNTY CAN AFFORD TO STAND REASONABLE DEFICIT Another phase of the ferry ques- tion presents itself. The increase in value of property in the territory | werved by the ferries means more taxes paid by thag territory. Every dollar taxes that comes from other sources means a dollar less for Seattle. According to figures given by the county superintendent of schools, the valuation of property in King county has increased within the past seven years according to the follow. ing table: Per Cent. King county increase. 30 22 nchool districts affected by ferry service ..... 94 rural districts not affected by ferries . 18 ‘The 22 districts to which reference is made are all on the east side of Lake Washington as that is the only territory that has had service for any length of time. Compare the rural districts affect ed by ferry service to the other rural districts of the county. The former have had an increase of 80 per cent and the latter 18 per cent. ‘The increased taxes paid by the 22 districts affected by the ferries in 1919 was $109,524.18 greater than the taxes paid in 1913, This means $109,524 less for other taxpayers to pay. ‘This figure alone ts greater than | the loss on the big lake ferries last | year. COMMISSIONERS DID NOT DARE LEASE FERRIES ‘There have been many tdeas ad- vanced as to the reason the commis: sioners did not lease the ferries as was their evident intention when the call for bids was recently issued, ‘The commissioners announced that it was because the bonus demanded was too large. I cannot accept this as the real reason and there are thousands of the same opinion. The commissioners fully intended to dease the boats, They expected to pay a bonus, ‘The lowest bid call ed for a bonus of $75,000. This bonus was as small as could be reasonably expected, In fact, I was surprised 80 May—Alt: Mixed, No. 1 Timothy, No. 1 Strw Profits by Antagonism Here gressively Enter | cid for bond, Toward F ield on East that It was so small. bid jumped to $149,000 I was told by a pro’ pective bidder that his firm had de 4 after investigation that they did not want the contract under any | reasonable conditions, ‘The next for a bonus. This bonus is not a» large as it first appears when we consider the fact that an extra outlay of n thousands of dollars was de nde Mability insuran audit ing of books and other similar mat ters. The total of there items would make the bonus shrink considerably After years of observation # knowledge of conditions such men have, I am free to m that I believe that the bonus of $75,000 was as conservative a bid as could have been expected and was leas than I would have demanded if a bidder for | the contract. It was not the size of the bid th: made the commissioners change their minds, It was the opposition of The Star and other Seattle papers, to wether with the sentiment aroused among the people thereby. I am thoroly convinced that The Seattle Star by its editorials previous to the date set for the decision of the commissioners, blocked the awarding of the contract. I personally differ with The Star in its belief of fraud in connection with the contract. I believe that the commissioners were square in this deal, They reali that they had made a miserable failure of the job. They knew that if they held on that a storm was due to break. They wanted to get from under and the lease plan was the one adopted, with | the expectation that the public would be quieted until it was too late to hurt them. I oppose the leasing of public property, especially of this nature. It should be sold or else operated by | the county itself. But if the boats were to be leased, I would as soon see Capt. Anderson get the lease as anyone I know. Speaking of Capt. Anderson, I wish to make it clear that I am not hold- ing him responsible for the conditions that I have mentioned in these ar ticles. ‘The captain was only a pawn in the hands of the commissioners. He was not in charge of the ferry system except in name. His author- ity was very limited, To place the responsibility on a subordinate is unthinkable. The commissioners, and they alone, are responsible. They ran the ferry sys- tem, they dominated Anderson, and they are the men who must shoulder the responsibility, The worst that ean be sald for Captain Anderson is that he has per- mitted himself to be used as a scape goat by the commissioners, If he haa had complete responsibility, he might have done better, and then he might have done worse—tho that is beside the question. Tho King county can readily af- ford to meet a reasonable deficit on DR.
