SAVING FOR TOMORROW
TODAY Uncle Sam is thankful tor the biggest
harvest in the history of this country, and for
an unparalleled commercial and industrial prosper
ity. Uncle Sam has had the reputation of know
ing how to make a pood bargain, but whoever
heard of him as a saver? "American extrava
gance" has always been the joke of other nations.
Of late, however, "economy" has crept out of
the dictionary and int«> the common speech. Ihe
cautious are already suggesting that plans be laid
now for lean years to come.
Economy, we are told, is the secret of German
efficiency and French preparedness, and a lack of
economy is given the reason tor the way in
which England has "muddled thru" her own
responsibilities.
Doubtless we are to hear a good deal more
on the subject here at home, therefore it is perti
nent to ask, "Who ought to do the economizing?"
Lean and fat years are much alike to millions
of people. To live, they must spend all they earn,
and it does not seem in order for any one to in
struct them in how to build up a bank account by
cutting down their meat bills and going without
silk hose.
But is it not logical that those who are TAK
ING THE BIG PROSPERITY PROHITS should
assume their social responsibility' for PROLONG
ING PROSPERITY?
"We can afford to go out of business after
the war," savs a manufacturer who has just doubled
the size of his plant. "We can afford by that time
to shut down the shop and abandon the buildings!"
And let the American working man do—what?
Starve?
"SAYING SOMETHING FOR TOMOR
ROW" from present pm>;v:it\ i> the BIMiFM
PROBLEM ever put up to the BUSINESS INTER
ESTS of this country.
It means managing business so well that it
will keep the American workmen employed after
the war!
That kind of economy is going to count!
THE WAY THEY "CORRECT
COMPLAINTS"
U A NUMBER of defects causing complaints at
this time bid tair to be taken care of satis
factorily by the railway companies. In any event
power to correct most of these complaints I.IKS
WITHIN THK STATE PUBLIC SERVICE COM
MISSION."
The foregoing is a passage from the Municipal
league's report, in which the comprehensive scheme
for a port belt line is endorsed, but transfer of funds
with which to build it is opposed.
Let us see now how this public service com
mission moves to "correct these complaints."
On November 14. 1o t -4 —more than a year
ago—Hamilton Higday, then assistant secretary of
the port commission, filed with the commission a
complete report on Seattle's water front situation,
with respect to the railroads and their pyramid
switching charges and discriminatory practices.
On November 8, 19IS—A YEAR LATER.
LACKING SIX DAYS—he received a reply, in
which it was stated the commission was ready to
proceed with an investigation of the port commis
sion's charges.
Last Monday came a letter, dated Olympia,
November 19, from O. O. Calderhead, statistician
for the public service commission, saying the com
mission would consider the complaints at Olympia
any time between November 20 and December 4!
Get that—December 4—THE DAY SEATTLE
VOTERS WILL VOTE ON THE BELT LINE!

WHY THE P I. PEEVE?
Kdltnr The Star: I ran't under
hand why the I* -I. should be so per
■latently peeved at The Star
Scarcely a day pasaea that It
doesn't ahow Ita spleen. fa It be
cause the old morning paper la al
ready beglnnlnK to wlnoe, anticipat
ing what The Star will do to the
snld morning sheet at the next elee
tion? A MBAOm.
Maybe you're right, Mr. Read
er, but If you were, In your own
estimation, a real newspaper,
and if, despite your highfalutln'
ideal about yourself, something
like 15,0.00 subscribers should
quit you more or less In a
bunch, wouldn't that rather
tend to make you peevish and
grouchy? Especially, wouldn't
you feel "persistently peeved"
at the paper which grabbed all
that circulation away from
you?
We are entirely satisfied to
let the old morning sheet have
its grou-.h and Its peeve. That's
about all It has left.
MAkLR of all, help us to render accept
able thanks.
Thou hast seen fit thus far to set us
apart as a people consecrated to the pos
session of peace in a world of war.
For this we thank thee, th<> we humbly
confess that we cannot claim the blessing
as a thing deserved.
We have not served as we should in the
temple of Thy justice. We have not
cleansed ourselves as we should of the
crime of poverty nor curbed the arrogant
pride of the oppressor of the, humble nor
punished him whoremoveth the landmark
of his poor neighbo'r.
As a people we arc still in our sins.
We serve Mammon when we should
bow at the altar of the Living God, who is
no respecter of persons and who sent his
gospel of go<>d tidings to the poor.
We have turned aside this Message, and
keeping it from freeing the |uior by curing
their poverty, we have made it a franchise
for the enrichment of the rich.
Vet thou hast blessed us. Thou has made
