SEATTLE'S TAX TROUBLES
Seattle's troubles continue. At the
port election last week the voters au
thorized acquisition of the twenty-six
acre tract offered by the United States
shipping board, but rejected a propo
sal to transfer $850,000 worth of port
bonds to pay for the property. The
members of the port commission say
they will proceed to levy a two-mill
tax on the port district. The Tax
Limit League and others who opposed
the port project on the ground that the
district is already overloaded with
free of tax property announce that
they will contest the proposed pur
chase. ’ -* ■
The election seemed to show that
the people of King county who already
have taken $117,000,000 of property of
all kinds off the tax rolls are not
ready to abandon their policy of mu
nicipal expansion, notwithstanding
that they failed, because of the 60
per cent provision required for a bond
election, to authorize means of buy
ing the port property.
Seattle s so overburdened with
taxes that, many homeowners are
paying more taxes than they wouid
rent.
WALL STREET DUPED
After all there seems to be some
thing new under the sun, even in
Wall Street. This week unscrupulous
stock operators or some tanatics or
disgruntled persons threw a monkey
wrench into the machinery of the
stock exchange by dumping on its
hundreds of orders to buy, backed by
worthless checks. Although none ot
the checks were cashed, their dump
ing by brokers had marked effect on
the market which first rose sharply
then fell, and if the operators of the
swindle took advantage of their op
portunity, it is declared that they
made a killing, both on the rise and
fall, selling short on the briel peak
registered before the forgeries were
disclosed and then covering and buy
ing for the rise. It is not easy to put
one over the shrewd Wall street opei
ators, but this is one instance where
it apparently was done.
CHAPLIN HIGH PRICT-D ACTOR
The testimony of the organizer of a
moving picture company that Charles
Chaplin derived $1,000,000 from one
motion picture and that from $100,000
to $350,000 was paid to individuals for
producing a single picture, raises the
question of how much the services of
i a screen idol are worth. Obviously,
! the value of a star is based on his ot
her popularity, for whereas “Fatty”
Arbuckle a few years ago was worth
more than any other actor and was
one of the best drawing cards in mov
iedom, today no company would risk
presenting his pictures on the screen.
