WE’RE ON OUR WAY BIG insurance company estimates Seattle's present population at 388,- 000, and its.statistician says that by 1980. Seattle will be 16th city in the United States. The week before last Seattle's bank clearings showed a 23 per cent gain over the corresponding week a year ago. Exports and imports show a big gain for the year. Despite aipwing Up noted in other Pa- cific Coast cities, Seattle’s building record continues to pass all marks hung’ up in the past. By every measure, our city is lengthen- ing her business stride, and she can’t be headed. AND NOW SOME language scientist has dug up the fact that “Chicago” ts Qjibwa for “Skunkland.” A NECESSARY EVIL FACTOR in high taxes in growing cities is often overlooked. Seattle is increasing her population at a rate of perhaps 2,000 per month. In the year in which the money under any given budget is expended, the city’s people will have been increased 25,000 in number. It costs real money to govern and pro- vide for the civic needs of a city of 25,- | 000, yet budgets do not and cannot con- sider the fact that such an additional city will have to be provided for during the year. The slack has to be taken up the | following year. We all like growth; we all aré willing to yell for it until we get it, and squawk if we don’t get it. Let’s not think too much about taxes.

Quite a isn’t it? LOS ANGELES to understand as not a real tary of War Dwight Davis testified. But, he added, “the equipment is inadequate in numbers and part of it, built during the war, is unsatisfactory in condition. This condition is due solely to lack of money, and can be remedied only by money.” Major General Patrick, chief of the army air service, said virtually the same thing. In 1923, he testified, he had asked for $26,000,000. He got $12,700,000. In 1924 he had asked for $18,000,000 and was given $12,426,000. This year he asked for $43,000,000. He was given only $12,435,000. He still insists $25,000,000 a year is vital for the next three years if the air service is to be brought up to date. “But,” he admitted, “I don’t know what Tl get.” This paper heartily endorses President Coolidge’s most excellent program of economy in government—that is, so long bilities. “Yes” or a liar. the suggestion ing a prize for you old fool! either.
