PAGE 8 T he Seattle Sta ished Daily by The Star Publiat + 1807 Seventh Aye, Phone ¢ Buterprise Ame: Bervion BY 3 mont year $3.80, Bpecial Representatives ribune Bide Ban Francisco New Yorke office, Out of Politics NE thing to which mayoralty candidates might pledge themselves is the removal of the Seattle zoo from the zone of politics. In any other country but America such & public educational institution could not become a politi- eal football. A zoo should be able to count on a steady appropria- ticn, year after year. As it is run here nobody knov from one year to the next whether the zoo is to be over- whelmed by generosity or starved in an “economy” wave. The zoo is one of the finest things we have—a pleasure to grown-ups, a liberal education to children, a drawing Yard for tourists. Its amusement cost, per capita, prob- ably is lower than any other municipal enterprise. The Star suggests formation of a zoological society, of influential men and women. ‘These could act S- men and secure for the zoo its rightful place in the city’s life. As things now are, the zoo is an orphan, to be played with by any politician who wishes. as spol Leigh Palmer may t be able to do all he promises for the merchant marine, but he is likely to be able to draw his $25,000 salary, which is about all that many heads of things at Washington are doing When the franc chases the mark down hill, then comes the tug of war. Who Makes Our Laws? UIGI TATTA, applying for naturalization papers, asked, “Who makes the laws of the United State He answers, “George Washington!” So the judge tells him to study history and call again. Everybody in the courtroom roared with laughter. But Tatta wasn't so far from the truth, at that. Our laws are not made by George Washington, but they are in large part made by George's associates who framed the constitution of the United States. Their “dead hand,” reaching out from the grave, governs us the same as congress, state legislatures and city councils. All these are little more than fingers of the “dead hand.” Capital bootleggers now refuse to sell booze to congressmen because “you can't trust 'em,” they say. Poor, poor congressmen, they've got to Observe the law because the bootleggers are going io make them do so. War and War : ‘ AR,” says an editor, “is as @eep-rooted as civiliza- tion itself. It is fundamental. Only a basic Temedy can effect a cure.” It is fundamental, all right, but it is more deep-rooted “than civilization. Man is a predatory animal, just as is a wolf. More- ~ over, all life is war—a contention of forces, thruout. "Why the unequaled crowds at prize-fights, football games and such? The war “urge.” Take the prospects of bloed out of a prize-fight, and you bid for an empty ' Yingside. Take the battle spirit out of a football contest, ' and you have a mere exhibition that is confined to a particular school. . Whence our so-called deep-rooted civ- lization? Isn’t it largely from war based on greed and war based on religion? Hasn't the gregariousness of Men, as well as all other animals, always been based, 4 from the beginning, on war purpose or defense against -) war? Is a complete cure of man’s inborn spirit of contention wise, even if at all possible? If life is that war of forces which it appears to be, haven’t we got to credit it with ' doing much for mankind? Gunpowder war, war of _ physical slaughter, is a disease and man has got to try his very best to find a remedy for it. He hasn't yet tried common sense and love. Hi, doesn’t yet see that when the wrongs of peace—injustice, intolerance, tyr- anny of money and mentality—are remedied, the cure of human slaughter is his. American men skimp their own wardrobes so that their wives can a dress like a million dollars, says the New Jersey Retail Clothiers’ associa- _ tion. Mebbe it’s because men don’t have to “keep up with the Joneses” _, &nd women do. a In Private Hands 4 ‘HE ownership and operation of the single super- power system must be in private hands, and not / Vested in any government agency,” writes Gen. Guy E. _ Tripp, of the Westinghouse company, in “World’s Work.” _ Indeed? America left her lumber to “private hands” with the result that her forests were despoiled. Gas, coal, oil, salmon and many other resources have been wasted shamefully by “private hands.” And now govern- » ment must stand by while “private hands” seize the na- tion’s last big natural resource, her 60 million horse- power of hydro-electricity, and exploit it as they will. Water-power is only a subordinate function of water. Flood control, storage for domestic use and irrigation all have prior claim. The private companies are not inter- ested in these functions, which they gladly Jeave to gov- ernment. But they propose to build up a great super- power trust based on the use of the people’s water for only its by-product, electricity. ' Electricity must be developed and eventually co-ordi- nated into a super-power system. But it must be de- veloped along with flood control, storage for domestic uses and irrigation. Hence super-power is a function of government. Gen. Tripp to the contrary, ownership of this nation’s power resources must remain with the public, and super- power must be developed with the public, thru the proper government agency, in control at every step. At General Butler, who is out to clean up Philadelphia and give her peace, law and order, doesn’t seem to be relying much on the Bok idea of “moral obligation,” “public opinion” and such. LETTER FROM V RIDGE PANN January 17, 1924. Dear Folks: Ben Franklin's birthday comes today, and so we speak of thrift; for that was always Franklin’s way to give himself a lift. He saved his coin when just a kid, and when he won renown—tn fact, no matter what he did, he salted something down! He started life a printer's lad, his wages mighty low; but still he néarly always had a little bit of dough. And when he saw his Chance appear, it didn't find him "flat’—for, out of nothing much a year, he'd saved a bit of THAT! Ben Franklin had the gift of work; he tolled thruout the day. Nobody ever saw him shirk, no matter what the pay. But earning coin was never known to cheat a pauper's grave—and Franklin knew that what we OWN {s only what we SAVE! And still they never called him “tight,” nor “close,” nor “pennywise.” He stands today the beacon light to Ports of Enterprise. His rule is potent, Now as Then, in this or any town—so take your pay and follow Ben by salting something | | | THE SEATTLE STAR THURSDAY, 7, 1924, JANUARY i | WHAT CONGRE Under Discussion for Reducing the Tax You Pay Uncle Sam s 1 New York Avenue, ASHINGTON, Herewith Jan, 17, — W the first time the comp! is presented for to story of tax revision as proposed to congress, The a the in: ompanying tables show o tax to be pald by a married man with two children, by a married man without chil dren and by a single man, They show the amounts these men would pay under the present lak, u 1 Mellon law, er the propone under and demo under the progressive pro- proposal is is the only basis for com parison of the ton tho tax payer's pock: The present provides a normal tax of 4 and § per cent and surtaxes ru s from 1 per n proposal would cut the normal tax to 3 and 6 per cent and makes the surtaxes run from 1 to {5 per cent The democratic proposal would cut the normal tax to 4 and 6 per cent and the surtaxes would run from 1 to 44 per cent, The progressive proposal is t cut the normal tax to 2 and 4 per '» Washington Dureau, cont and makes the surtaxes as At present run from 1 to 60 per cent The democratic plan allo an persons and the other plans 0.
