DoYouWant Y our Light Rates Increased? EATTLE faces an automatic raise of cent in electric light rates if there are not enough Bone Power bill petition signers obtained to place that measure on the ballot this fall. Should the Bone bill fail for want of signatures, the Reed referendum bill would reap all the re- sults of the favorable publicity on the Bone meas- ure. The outcome would be that the Reed bill would be approved by the people and would be- come a law. The Reed bill is a vicious measure. It provides that any city selling power outside its corporate limits must pay five per cent tax on all power sold. Seattle and Tacoma sell power outside their city limits. They would have to immediately boost rates five per cent. Of course the power companies would like to see a tax placed on power sold by Seattle and Tacoma. That would allow them to increase their rates the Same amount. That may explain why the big fight against the Bone measure has been to keep it off the ballot instead of to defeat it at the election. Seattle citizens must block this attempt to raise light rates in this city by law. Seattle citizens can do this by signing the Bone * san bill peti- tions. If the Bone bill goes on the ballot, the Reed bill will lose. ' Sign the Bone Power bill today! How We Move ATOTHING is lasting. Change is eternal and constant.

LETTER, V RIDGE MANN June 14, 1924, Dear Polks: I note the papers mention, in the daily news I see, they've closed the big convention of the noble G. O. P. They made a platform telling all about the party's cause; they did a lot of yelling, and the speeches brought applause. I may be quite benighted, and below the common run—I can’t get all excited over what they “went and done.” Altho the papers filled me with the big convention news, the rumpus never thrilled me—nor it didn’t give me blues. Of course I know its capers found # good and useful place~ helped the daily papers fill an awful lot of space! they I know it's quite appalling t I view it such @ way; but other things are ealllee it 1s Saturday today . . » WHAT'S THAT?

He went to China, mastered the language and—looking @ lot like a Mon- golian—actually became a man- trav always It's The that has darin. For 30 years he cled all over ,China, studying the people. All this time, he was writing down his observations in great detail. Finally, when he ap- parently had fathomed the Chi- nese mind and accumulated a wealth of information, he re- turned to Holland. His ship was wrecked. He was rescued. But all of his records, the observations of 30 years, sank in the ocean. A storm had wiped out his life's work. UDDE has been dead these two centuries. His name would be obliterated now, his existence entirely forgotten, if the elder Disraeli had not heard of him and told his story in “Curiosities of Literature.” We do not know how he re- acted to his loss. Probably he sat around with a long face and shortened his life by self- pity. If he had acquired Chi- nese philosophy, he had a good laugh and decided it was all in the game. HE story of Hudde, after all these years, seems pitifully tragic, But strip tt of its ro- matic stage setting — China and shipwreck—and all that happened, was the lows of 30 years’ work. That isn't anything unusual, It happens all around you every day—men losing their savings thru unwise investments, richer men going broke in the stock market or having their pa- tiently-created businesves taken away from them by bankruptey. life is a fight for achieve- ment, And then gradually, one by one, the loss of everything we have tolled for.
