Now Paul comes forward with promises to cut taxes by promoting efficiency. Fine! That's the kind of a man Sa and program the people of King county have wanted for a time. But before we start mutual congratulations let’s see what Paul has accomplished so far. First, he appoints Lafe Hamilton, discredited politician and former commissioner, as road superintendent. Altho Lafe Hamilton probably headed the most extravagant county administration we have ever had, Paul said Lafe couldn’t be extravagant as his appropriation was only $78,000 for the year. Then, with the aid of Commissioner Bill Gaines, he takes | $275,000 from the road fund of the North district and turns that over to Hamilton. Paul promised to sell the county automobiles and cut down the number of county employes and save money that Way. Forty-seven road supervisors were to be fired pronto. But merely eliminating a title and hiring another man to do the same work without a title doesn’t save the taxpay- rs any money. And to date that’s been Paul’s method Has anyone seen any county automobiles auctioned off yet? The Star hasn't. Now Paul says every county elective officer must make @ survey and tell Paul how many men each can cut off the Payroll. This looks like mere bluff and piffle. Several county officers have already cut their staffs in accordance With the budget allowance drawn up before Paul took of- fice. Does anyone think Paul can force county officers, Over whom he has no control, to reduce their payrolls ex- cept along their own lines? With the political winds ing so strongly for lower taxes, no official is likely to tempt public displeasure by exceeding his budget allow- ance this year. The time for Paul to do his shouting is next fall when the budget board is sitting, and after he has really effected Some economies this year. The Star believes that any official who sincerely tries to ‘Teduce the cost of government will have the support of the voters. But The Star doesn't believe that taxes can be cut 3 ords alone; neither does The Star believe that Lafe ilton can change his character merely because Com- missioner Pau! does a lot of talking. ‘The average person cannot understand why, with the great demand _ for a drastic anti-narcotic law in this state, the legislature should not be ble to pass such a measure without haggling. No sane person can S the need of such and the delay is incomprehensible. Any legislator to give such a measure his instant and undivided support [s “Under suspicion.

The citizen who EARNS nis income is entitled to pay a smaller tax on it than the citizen who does not earn it. In other words, income de- Fived from labor, from energy and ability, from business should pay a small tax, but’ incomes from mortgages, speculations, inheritances and the like should be soaked the limit.
