A so-called people's" paper takes
a number of "corporations" to task,
for announcing that thev intend to
fight any increases in taxation at el
ections two years hence This papei
leaves the im-ression with its read
ers that a con-oration is virtually in
the criminal c'.av for fighting against
taxation which is threatening to con
fiscate it property.
It is such metropolitan yellow
journalism as this that we have to
think for the rapid growth of our tax
bill. These papers fool the public by
savins : 'Let the corporations pay."
But who pays the corporations in or
der that it mav pav its taxes? No
one but the "people."
Let the people get this idea clear
ly in their heads, taxation is part of
the cost of doing business which the
ultimate consumer must pav. It
makes no difference in what form it
is collected, the man who makes the
last purchase pays the total tax.
If a few common citizens would
join with the corporations which are
condemned for fighting against con
fiscation of their property through
taxation, we would have better ad
ministration of state and national1
governments and our tax bill would
bepin to decrease instead of constant
ly increasing.

The, annual school meeting was
held on .Monday and officers chosen
to serve District No. I for another
year. At this meeting the report of
the district clerk revealed a total ex
penditure for the year of S39.SS0.93.
This sum is a little below the amount
provided for in the budget and would
show that expenses have been con
servative. The largest item of ex
pense, necessarily, is for the teaching
force, and this amounted to $21,
668.9S. Another item was the clear
ing up cf some indebtedness against
the district which required $1 1 .540.

have yet been paid, and this item of
resources came in so slowly that it
was necessary to borrow heavily to
carry on the work. When taxes are
fully paid in the fall all borowed
money should be paid and the finan
cial condition of the district placed
in cood shape. Under the new law
it will be necessary to hold the bud
get meeting at a later date, and in
making up the budget or the voting
of any tax on the district, it will be
necessary for the board to call in
three taxpayers of the district to as
sist them in the work.

Now Is the Time to Run
Comrade Vanderlip, the Los An
geles traveling salesman for bolshev
lsm, has again flitted back from Kus
sia, where he was royally entertained
oy Comrade Lenine. On a previous
visit to the land of starvation, he was
promised about half of Eastern Si
cena if he would make President
Harding and Secretary Hughes be
good to communism. He didn't get
anywhere.
Now he returns with the statement
that the Russian government has of
fered to the United States the two
best sea bases that Russia owns on
her Pacific shore, all for nothing and
to hold forever and eternity.
We may very well loiter in a field
with i raging bull. We may very
well stand in the path of a tornado
for the sake of seeing how a tornado
performs its labors. We may very
well lean over the edge of a Vesuvius
on the eve of a dreadful eruption.
But when Russia comes offering
friendship and gifts, it is time to turn
and run like blazes! Because, as we
all know, the national history of that
country of the East is one long story
of the most shocking deceit and
treachery.
Whenever it suits her purpose Rus
sia has never hesitated to turn from
her friend in direst need, -and become
his deadly enemy. At least three
times in 150 years she has been guil
ty before the whole world of the most
astounding perfidy, and always at the
moment when her allies were in their
Any man who is engaged in a nec
essary and useful line of work is a

that there be dvision of labor. With
out it civilization would not be what
it is. Each man would have to go
out w ith a club and kill his meat for
dinner or eo hunery. It is true that
in certain lines of work a man may
be more useful than his fellows in a
less essential calling, but it is often
hard to tell who serves the best. The

On the motor road from Seattle
to Tacoma and the East, the
motorist passes through many
points of unusual scenic interest
Lake Keechelus is one of thesa.
It is over six miles in length,
having the appearance of a great
river, and is situated at an eleva
tion of 3,000 feet in the very heart
of the Cascade range.
Motorists will find this region
a most enchanting country dot
ted with beautiful lakes and
mountains and huge fir, spruce
and cedar trees measuring in
some instances six to eight feet
in diameter.
And all along the route the
motorist can get Red Crown Gas
oline the all-refinery motor fuel
that insures quick starting, rapid
acceleration and more power.
Look for the Red Crown sign.
