The piece traces the rise and fall of the U.S. watch crystal industry from wartime self sufficiency to postwar challenges. It notes European expertise, American innovation during war, profit concerns, labor strikes, factory shutdowns, and a return to foreign imports from France and Japan. It warns that European competition steadily increases and urges industrial resilience.
A congressional resolution argues that the Senate cannot bind Congress by treaty limits on armies and navies. It contends that ratified treaties may be repealed or nullified by subsequent congressional action, a view attributed to Congressman Bourke Cochran of New York.
A letter from ALMER LIMAN attacks Beattie city government and Seattle schools for waste and high costs. He urges new leaders with business methods, criticizes the port commission and University of Washington comparisons, and denounces the Par Game era and the 20 10 and 30 10 bills as taxpayer burdens. He questions Supt Cooper and urges voters to investigate before ballots.
Letter in The Star dated February 7 by Myral L Snow suggests resistance to new funding. It questions statements from School Director Gantmyer and notes Washington Education Journal calls for a statewide teacher contribution. It accuses Ralph W Swetman of shifting to campaign for more funds as he resigns. The piece accuses Seattle and state teachers of backing the 30-10 bill to raise over 3.5 million dollars annually.

Walter Woon presents a reader letter critiquing The Star article by Maude Sweetman on port finances. He compares the 1919 healthy year to 1921 deficits, notes overhead reductions could have erased the deficit, and criticizes costly reorganization work and mismanaged refrigerated equipment installed in 1920 and torn out by 1923. He argues for better management and lower expenses to avoid higher tax levies.
The Star notes a shift in conflict as taxing powers clash with taxpayers who resist. The scene of war has moved from weapon to levy, with taxpayers defending their rights against rising charges and fiscal demands.
The piece argues taxation has created high rent and economic imbalance by letting landlords capture wealth first. It invokes Henry George and Prosperity to claim land value taxation would free labor and capital from the landlord’s control, asserting current tax systems deprive workers and creators of a fair share.
