~C.H. Hanford must get off the federal bench. Unless he resigns forthwith the people of Seattle and this whole state should and will undoubtedly unite . demanding his impeachment. C. H. Hanford’s long list of foul-smelling decisions, brought to a climax yesterday with his injunction in Renton case, has placed him and his court in absolute contempt of the people. Seattle won't stand for Hanford any longer. Seattle showed its opinion of Hanford yesterday when a Lady of people, uniting as one man, trampled upon his corporation-favoring It stands before the whole world.

The people are standing pat on their rights. They are willing to pay their fares if a transfer receipt is given, but when the transfer is refused they ride free, as the conductors are afraid to tie up traffic. _No effort has been made to enforce the court injunction which seeks to make the people pay an extra three cents in ,order to get a trnasfer.

HANFORD'S LATEST Hanford's new order, issued at the request of the Crawford road, commands Crawford to issue receipts for the extra fare paid south of Kenyon st., and also to issue transfers on the re- ceipt of three cents above the five cent fare. “They will w a long time for their three cents,” said James Tullock today. “Crawford is doing more than all of us | municipal ownership men put together to boost the city car line. Our experience during the last couple of weeks has thoroughly |erystallized sentiment in favor of municipal ownership.” HANFORD’S OWN CREATION Hanford’s three cent matter is a creation of his own. It is not an issue in the original transfer case, which the state su- preme court decided in favor of the people. The old case pro- vides for the interchange of transfers upon the payment of a nickel fare.
