The Seattle Star By mali, out a efty, | per ‘wo ol . sete & One mm 4 " 9 bag 5.08, tn Outetai the «i by cartier, city, The Star has heard a few criticisms of various items in the Community Chest budget. of these were based on a misunderstanding due to a typographical error in one the Sunday papers. Others came from individuals who confessedly were friendly or istic to some special charity in the list of 46 sharing in the big program. For persons who feel very deeply for or against any particular charity, provision has made under which they may designate to what organizations their money shall go. | The Star feels that this is not the time for controversies over items in the budget. the time for concerted, sincere effort to raise the three-quarters of a million which Meeded to run these organizations and provide for emergency purposes during the tote ter em montha - per year, any single item in the list of 46 might be open to some criticism. But fe problem is greater than that; the problem is to do the maximum justice to all 46; e eliminate duplication of effort; to cover ground nof now covered; to put thru a genu- e¢ COMMUNITY PROGRAM. fhe budget as framed, we believe, looks to that end as well as any budget very well do. It was framed by as carefully selected and competent a committee of Seattle as could be found. Here is its personnel: Fred Ernst, Ernst Hardware Co., ; L. J. Colman, president J. M. Colman Co., vice chairman; Mrs. B. C. Beck; Collins, public service director; Nathan Eckstein, Schwabacher Hardware Co.; Booth, Washington Title Insurance Co.; Archie Taft, Piper & Taft. committee held 14 meetings of many hours each, and between sessions took ition budgets home for digestion. The members pared the grand total from than a million to $644,000, and allowed an extra $100,000 for emergency pur- The Star has faith in the integrity, business judgment and fairness of that mittee, and is willing to accept its report as final. The Star believes all Seattle to, and will, unite on that proposition. Now is the time, not for picking the to pieces, but for getting together to raise the $750,000 with a rush when the week opens. “No valley-life but hath some mountain days— Bright Summits in the retrospective view, And toil-worn passes to glad prospects new— Fair sun-lit memories of joy and praise.” . ‘ —F.

Puyallup Fair Is Growing _ Editor The Star: Just a line to explain our very great appreciation for the exeelient services you rendered as one of the honorary vice presidents of the Western Washington fair. The Star could not have offered greater support had you been the president of the fair. While I am @ little tardy in acknowledging our great debt of gratitude to The Star, yet I desire to assure you that the delay was caused only by too much work on hand. You have watched the fair grow from its birth to the present time, and I am eure that you will join un in the appreciation of the suc. cessful outcome and the growth from year to year. Our gate receipts for 1920 was $27,000, our gate receipts for 1921 was $38,000, total gross re celpts of i900 werd $44,000 as against $70,000 this year. When you stop to consider that we only charge 60 cents at the gate, 25 cents at the grand stand, with no oppor tunity to spend money in seeing the fair, Y will explain how well it was patronized. Just imagine 100,000 visitors to a country fair, without state or coun- ty support! The citizens of the Puy- allup valley, with the good help of many other citizens of the atate, have built up an institution that should become a great asset to the Pacific Northwest. To this result you have contrib. uted your full share, Very respectfully, W. H. PAULHAMUS, President Western Washington Fair Association, Says for Shame, Seattle Editor The Star: It ts indeed gratifying to see by The Star that the Community Chest fund will give a share to the Humane Society. It was necessary for me to go to the “home” today, the miserable, cold little home. What manner of People are there in this city that like a filthy woman, well appearing on the surface, with filthy under. | garments? This is the impression that one visitor to your city is going away with. I shall tell everyone I meet in the East of the poverty-stricken condi. tion of the Humane society of Seat- tle; it Is a disgrace that a city of its size cannot support a humane wociety in the way it should be. Are you a community of paupers? If not, there is no excuse for you, For shame, Seattle, you are not only backward, but hard! In every self-respecting community and animals; their work is far more vital than that of the churches. I am both surprised and disappointed in Seattle. GERTRUDE DEANE, Grand Rapids, Mich. Sales Tax Fad Editor The Star: The Tacoma Ledger reports that the Real Estate association of Tacoma Is about to indorse the sales tax fad, and call upon our represen- tatives in congress to support this fraud upon the consuming public. A consumption tax would be a more appropriate cognomen for a Measure which will enact tribute from six to nine times on every article that the consumer eats or wears, It is true that that smooth tool of the special interests, Senator Smoot of Utah, now has trimmed his sail from demanding a tax on every turnover, to a manufacturer's tax of 3 per cent, but the venal sheets controlled by the trusts still agitate for a tax on every sale. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is nauseating in its incessant clamor for a measure which would bear heavily on the man who works for a living, but God knows what it will do to the six millions out of work now in the United States who, with their de- pendent ones, must be fed and clothed, It ts stated that the war made over 20,000 new millionaires in this untry.

Will the grocers, who are now selling canned milk and sugar below the wholesale price, also pay the government 1 per cent for | the fun of losing money? They will either have to cut specials deals to draw trade, or raixe their prices. The > absurdity of the tax sale or con. sumption tax is seen when it taxes the grocer who sells @ dollar's worth of sugar and the department store which buys a fur garment for $100 and sells it for $300. The fur mer. chgnt pays half of 1 per cent on bis! profit. The cut-rate grocer works for nothing and pays the government on the ability of the people to pay The rascals who made fortunes out of the war want to pass their obliga- tions on a people struggling for existence. Hon, James A. Frear has shown how a sales tax may be multiplied. Nine turnovers in the case of cotton leather goods, seven or eight in the case of steel, and so on, Hundreds of thousands of stores in this coun try have not got cash registers even. None of the cash and carry stores are equipped with the stationery and other paraphernalia requiréd, The extra clerk hire demanded will raine the cost of doing business far above what the tax will yield. France and Canada have both tried the consump- tion tax fad and found it a failure. France tried the tax on every sale, which Smoot advocated a year ago, and to which the Seattle sheet clings Canada is trying the latest Smoot own manufacturers.
