Ped Repree 1807.09 Beventh Ay my "patiy be tar hing Oo, Phone Me the, Wh., under act of Merch #1 Paying for Service OUNCILMAN CAMPBELL, casting about for a new economy measure, proposes a fee system to apply every time a citiz goes down to the County-City Building and takes out a building, plumb. ing or electrical permit Undoubtedly it would bring in reve- nue, but just certainly it would penalize progress and the public spirited citizen who is building up the city. For every time a new structure goes up it benefits the community as well as the owner. The Star doesn't believe Camp- | bell's idea is a good one If it is, why not carry farther the plaa of charging a fee for public service? Why not charge the home owner a fee every time the fire Wagons make a run to his house?) And wouldn't it also be a good revenue raising plan to have safety inspectors operate on a fee system and have the police charge a modicum for coming out at 3 a, m, to find out who's walking around an uneasy citizen's hous Showing the Way ARWIN MEISN gradyate man- ager at the University of Washing- ton, seems to have solved the problem that most universities have found to be a white elephant—what to do with their Stadiums when there are no football games on. | “Dar” has kept the “U" stadium working overtime all summer long with pageants, spectacles ‘and concerts, and every event that he has put on has paida | profit. That not only shows that Seattle will turn out to support the stadium, but it is a testimonial to the business sagacity of the directing head. It’s true that some types of concert have no logical place in an outdoor arena like the stadium. Seattle ultimately must have a monster public auditorium to ca for them. But no better spot could be found for pageants such as “The Way- farer” and other big spectacles than the bowl, where thousands upon thousands of spectators can gather and all can see equally well. Incidentally, when that talked of pub- lic auditorium comes along, those, behind it might do worse than to cast their eyes toward this same Meisnest as a syccess- ful business getter for it. Salesmanship chap who is starting out as a { salesman ean find innumerable books and correspondenee courses telling him how to train himself so that he can sell almost anything to almost anyone. As training for a novice in the busi- ness these are doubtless of considerable worth. Every trade has its fine points that can be handed down by an expert. But, after all, there is a good deal of value in the old-fashioned idea of tieing up with a house that really offers its customers complete satisfaction for their money—and then working as hard and honestly as one humanly can, "Advertising “Did It RIGLEY, the chewing gum man, has t explained how he built up a busi- ness of millions of packages a day.

A lovely vision! But nobody need shake in his boots over likelihood of such a revo lution. The “outs” at Washington . usually clamoring for divorce of the “ins” from politics and it is a season when sen sations are very scarce and something ha to be done to keep public interest in Washington alive. Saving Our Money HEN the budget bureau asked the navy department how it could save $20,000,000 a year, the reply was, in effect, “by abolishing useless stations that we don’t want, but some congressmen do.” The same thing has always been true of the army, tho it is not quite so bad as it once was. Stations established in the Indian-fighting times, and which the army has been wanting to get rid of for a gen- | have been continued because the expenditure of government money in them was welcome to some congressman's con- stituents. It is log-rolling versus economy. What is the remedy? A very simple one. The secretaric | war and of the navy have been saying these things for years, without effect, behind the closed doors of committee meet ings. Let them have the chance to say them openly, on the floor of congress, in the hearing of all of us, and so to bring to a direct vote, without evasion, whether congress will insist on forcing appropria- tions on them which they have not asked, and which they have told congress are aseless, If the performance can be made public enough the people can be trusted to do the rest. So long as it remains hidden in committee, both the people and the execu- | tive departments are he elpless.
