SEATTLE tHE (ouT OUR WAY — BY WILLIAMS) (GFTTED LABOR PLIT Awe -| The Seattle Star |: ort Ban Pre Seiling Us Finlan AAVO NURMI, crack Finnish athlete, has by his exploits enhanced the value of the bonds of Finland on the market by at least $10,000,000, That figure from Charles E Mitchell, financier, president of the Na tional City company. Therefore it is worth considering. Folks, reading daily of Nurmi’s exploits, inquired about Fintand Learning what kind of people Nurmi’s compatriots were, investors thought well of Finnish bonds, bought them, and their value went up, That is bringing home the bacon, with the eggs alongside. In the line of selling nations abroad, Nurmi’s style is something new. Every- body is familiar with the line handled by that wizard. of good-will salesman, t! Prince of Wales. He is always on the road, his sample case of personality and sportsmanship on display. He sells Great Britain abroad. A lot of jobless Ru 1 nobles have been peddling over here, without much luck, Blasco Ibanez has taken a whirl at selling Spain to us. Mussolini has boomed the market value of Italian securities, and they have slumped. Clemenceau and others have tried to sell France, And many another, with his wares. But no one done a better job of it, in so short time, than has this remarkable Finn, who hails from an equally remarkable country, He has the goods. ° track comes They Love to Pay Taxes ARRY HERKOWITZ helps collect fed- eral taxes in the New York district. So he ought to know a thing or two about tax collecting. Harry made a speech before the Credit Men’s association not long ago. He came to the question of inc.me tax publicity. He had this to say: “Vanity, in some cases, induced persons to report larger incomes than they actually received, and they seemed to be perfectly willing to pay for this kind of vanity. “A business man sounded me out regarding his report, saying he wanted to boost his income for the effect it would have on his creditors. He wanted to know whether or not he would be liable to prosecution. “He was assured that the government Would not raise any questi6n to prove that his income, should be lower, and that it would accept the taxpayer's dough.” So that’s that. Last year tax paying was a sorrow. Along came publicity. Presto, change! Tax paying is a joy, an asset, something really worth’ hivitig® for —for those who see its real possibilities. This puts a new light on tax paying. Pretty soon there may be no more teeth- pulling of dollars from the taxpayer's pocket. Mebbe there won't need to be collectors. Just cashiers to receive folks’ checks and publicity experts to see that the payments are broadcast widely enough so that tax overpaying is made worth while. Who said there wasn’t any gold at the end of the rainbow? Must Amtse the Kaiser REAT BRITAIN won't let us elevate our battleship guns and refuses to join us in killing the opium evil. French statesmen openly advocate repudiation of France’s war debt to us, and there’s talk in Washington about putting the foot down on private loans to France, while Ger- many is securing millions of private loans Trove magazine Time, the Treasure N THE Kansas City Star Meade Minnigerode, author, say ay am extremely jealous of my time. My most valuable possession is the time at my disposal; I know that I shall not have time enough to write all the things that I should like to write, since there will be no end to them, and my allotted time is inevitably limited “It may, inde turn out to be much more limited, even more than I normally would imagine, I am, therefore, selfish, close-fisted, miserly with my time. .. . I have an instinctive reluctance to dispose in advance of my time,” Time, in other words, is a trove, for those who have something in particular to do during their lives, be it writing stories, baking pies, or laying »ricks. To. others, Time is just so many day and weeks, and years No Somewhat About It a) 2XCRETARY KELLOGG'S policy will spend somewhat on Mr. Coolidg is a Washington opinion. Not somewhat, but altogether. Under Mr, Roosevelt Mr. Kellogg earned, glory by puncturing the Harriman merger and frying the Standard Oil company and other “malefactors great wealth.” But, out from under Roosevelt, Kellog became one of the reliable standbys of corporation regularity and the people of his state retired him. Mr. Kellogg believes in working solely for his immediate em- ployer and can be relied upon to perform his best every time Mr. Coolidge whistles. Mr. Coolidge isn’t the first president to sacrifice talent for harmony’s sake, and you cannot blame him much, since his experience with a warmed-over cabinet, Around the Wide World *PDOUND the world and back again, the vacationists are going. That is, folks who can afford to take large vacations. Steamship companies, featuring around- the-world cruises, report heavier traffic each year by Americans who want to see how the other hemisphere lives. The habit of, following the equator away from home and back again is growing. Now this is an interesting, albeit natu- ral, post-war development in American taste for travel. The 2,000,000 Americans who went abroad during the war came back and reported that folks who lived in that vague place known as Over There were good scouts and interesting and worth vis- iting. The families of some of these s are now going Over There to see if what they heard is so. It is the beginning of adiew interest imeworld affairs. Senators and publicists who claim that Americans are not interested in the af- fairs of foreign nations could find much to think about in this new wanderlust on the part of Americans, In fact, they might catch it, and be pushed out of the rut, themselves.

Over some question, lost in the shuffle, the statesmen-elect went into a general fist fight. Crowds in the packed galleries cheered and advised their particular champions.
