BETTER LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE
Now that the tempest in a teapot over the cross-
voting and election of Governor Langlie has peteredg,
out the complaining element of the democrats is
talking about revising the ballot form to eliminate
the circle of party choice and require direct mark-
ing for each candidate.
Although the present ballot has been used with-
out any complaint for forty, really fifty years, and;
there has never been any trouble in finding out the'
intention of the voters who choose to stop and mark
candidates on the ticket opposed to their circle
choice, the circle is superfluous, since “straight” vot-
ing is no longer the rule.
However, in view of the fact that the democrats
have always and until this last election profited most
by cross-voting in the past evidenced by the elec-.
tion of Governor Lister and Martin and of Dill twice
for senator; republicans will be the gainers from ab—
sence of the 'circle and should offer no complaint at
complainbat the change.
TO BOOST LEGISLATIVE STIPEND
The lawmakers are scheming to “put one over
on the people of Washington by the subterfuge of
fattening their $5 daily stipend for service by pass-
ing a measure appropriating $35,000 or so for ex-
penses of the legislators at Olympia.
Perhaps there is some merit in the claim that a
legislator cannot live on his salary, but he overlooks
the “honor” of serving the people; also the fact that
in the last election they killed the referendum to
boost the salaries with a bang.
. PEOPLE FAVOR FORTY MILL LIMIT
One of the first measures in the legislative hop.-
per is intended for a vote to raise the forty-mill tax
limitation on real property to 45 mills, and to devote
the extra five mills to paying the old age pensions
as called for by N o. 141.
Viewing the rapidly lowering state assessed
property valuations due to several fixed as well as
new conditions, the law of diminishing returns is
moving faster than can possibly be relieved by any
boost of the legal millage for tax collections.
The tax axempt property which is fast growing
and taking taxable property from the rolls, such as
public utilities and operation, taking of private
lands for parks and other non-producing purposes,
and other exemptions, is making tax-raising a real
problem.
Rather than load private property more the leg-
islature should seek for more economy in state oper-
ations, cutting of funds granted for relief and other
purposes which should be federally cared for, and
to require the utilities as well as the government to
make good the tax losses which the local government
must make support.
‘FREE ENTERPRISE MEDICINE;
Here in the United States we live under what
is graphically described as a free enterprise system.
It permits any man to go as far as his abilities Wlll
take him. It places no barriers in the way of progress I
and achievement. It believes in the dignity of the
individual-as opposed to sy
individual the slave of the state.
what this free enterprise system has
All of us know
produced. It
has given us the highest standard of living in the
world. It has given the typical worker a higher paid
job and a shorter work week than is known any-
where else. It has given the average man and wo-!
man more of the luxuries and necessities than their
counterparts enjoy in any “other nation. It has giv-
en them more security, in the form of homes, insur~,
ance, b k deposits and other forms of saving.
All f this has been done under that free en
prise system the individualistic system, so to

Well, we’ve “fudged” another week of fine
weather on .Ole Man Winter, so-far as Puget Sound
is concerned.
Well into January the mild weather has con
tinued and so far the climate has been better than
in sunny California; some rain, a little frost andan

Ithc Harlem Globe Trotters came
Ito town Sunday to draw the big—
gest crowd into Lincoln gym in
many years.
The laughs startedthe moment
the dusky comics of the court
(came onto the floor and didn‘t
subside until the exhibition was
completed. The huge crowd, which
filled every seat and stood ar-
ound the edges of the playing
floor at the entrance end of the
gym, as well as on the balconies,
applauded roundly at frequent in-
tervals and at the end of the ex—
hibition gave a final burst in ap-
preciation of the show the Globe
Trotters had staged.
They’re Good, All Right
' The amazing passing ability of
|the Negro basketeers drew oohs
and aaahs from the multitude and
their ball-handling dexterity was
uncanny, making an all-around
ability on the court both from the
“business” and comical sides that
l
l
!
probably isn’t matched anywhere
in the country.
. The score, as if it means any-
(thing, was 52 to 36, including two
i or three baskets the Trotters made
(for their opponents, who included
[both the Pantorium Cleaners'of
‘Shelton and the R.R.R.‘s of Seat-
tle.
1 Those two clubs played the pre-
I liminary game and quite a struggle
lit turned out to be, too. The Pir-
ates rallied from behind to snatch
a 28 to 25 decision after trailing
at all three rest periods, 5 to 2,
12 to 9, and 19 to 18. Lanky Pat
Smith produced ten points in the
second half which had an import-
ant bearing on the outcome.
Howitzers Tell Story
It was the Pirates ability at
long range which won them the
verdict for they were badly off
{form in most other phases of their
lplay, missing a half dozen cripple
lshots and generally appearing to
be a little stale. Lewie Burnett, the
