If Flies Were as Big as They Are Dangerous
IF FI-iKS were as big as they arc danger
ous they would be larger than mammoths,
the huge beasts that named this earth in
prehistoric times, destroying everything that
came within their path.
You would not let a man-eating tiger have
free access to your house—not if you could
help it, you wouldn't. Nor would you let
lions or elephants come charging from their
jungle lairs into your kitchen or baby's l>ed
mom and then merely shoo them away, say
ing: "Oh, they are such a bother!**
Yet the common house-fly is more danger
ous than these most dreaded wild be-ast*
is, in fact, the most dangerous animal on
earth.
Flies slay more people than the most fero

Why Not Do It Ourselves?
THE contract methtxi of doing city and
county work has proved a failure in many
ways.
The contractor is entitled to a legitimate
profit on his enterprise, but is seldom con
tent with a legitimate profit.
When contract jobs are widely scattered,
the honest inspector has to skip from >>ne
to another, and the greedy contractor i- given
his opportunity to skimp on materials
Seattle has been exceptionally free from
dishonest inspectors, but it frequently hap
pen* that the inspector and the contractor,
or his foreman, arc on friendly terms, and if
friend contractor says the job is being done
according to specifications, friend inspector,
being of a trusting nature and busy, i' bkelv
to take his word for it.
The contractor, of whom Pat McHugh i»
a type, employs the cheapest labor he can
find. This is generally alien labor. The
"wop" Is happy amid catnp conditions which
no self-respecting American would endure
The "wop" sends his money back to the
Old Country to the wife who is waiting for
him there and who i> saving it against the
time when she shall live in idleness and
mode<t comfort on the interest of good
American dollars.

Even the "wop" may be stirred to rebellion
against life in a McHugh camp, with re
suiting strikes and costly delays
I he Star believes that the contract system
has failed absolutely.
How much better it would be if the city
and county would do their own work! It
would cost leat. BECAUSE THE PUBLIC
WOULD SAVE THE CONTRACTORS
PROFITS. The work would be better done.
BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE NO
TEMPTATION FOR THE CITY OR
COUNTY TO CHEAT ITSELF
Every dollar sent out of the country by an
alien leaves the community exactly one do!
lar poorer. The city ami county could well
afford to pay resident laborers the decent
wages which the contractors are unwilling
to pay; for the money would then stay in
the city and county.
The resident laborer would spend his
money with the Seattle merchant The Se
attle merchant would pass it on to Seattle
