Co. and the Pupils | All children, under age, attending school, whether it is a public or private school, or the state university, are entiged to 2%4-cent fares on Seattle Electric company cars This was officially decided by Corporation Counsel Brad ford more than a month ago. And it is the controlling opinion until reversed by a higher authority so far as this city is con- cerned Nevertheless, the S. E. Co. controls the situation, it seems. It absolutely refused to sell school tickets to university stu- dents and pupils of private schools, And the city government seems powerless, or, at feast, hag done nothing to enforce what Bradford holds is a franchise provision. Perhaps there are LEGAL obstacles in the path of en- forcing the city’s official interpretation of the 5S. E. Co.'s franchise. But the average citizen, using just plain, every- day horse sense, can’t understand the situation at all, The city grants the S. E, Co a franchise. Without it, the company cannot operate. The city says this franchise means 2%4-cent fares for all school children. The company says it does not. In other words, the company appeals from the city’s decision, In ordinary affairs, it's the fellow who ap- erg who must stand the costs pending the final decision. t it's not so in this case, ‘The Seattle Electric company does not care if the question never comes up before the courts for final decision, for it is collecting full fares, Neither does it eare how long a “test” case is delayed. The company, as the matter is allowed to stand, loses nothing by delays. It seems that the people must always bear the burden, éven if every official opinion is in favor of their contention. That was true in the Duwamish valley rate case and the Ren- ton fight for nickel fares, where the people were backed by the decisions of the public service commission and the superior court as well, But the railway companies collected the illegal fares just the same. There is ‘something decidedly wrong in a system that per- mits the injured party to continue to suffer in spite of of- ficial decisions in bis favor. The corporation counsel is wait- ing for someone to start a “test” case, so that the supreme court might get a chance to decide the 2%4-cent fare matter, That means, if the other rate cases are any criterion, two years’ delay, during which the company, will continue to collect fares that may afterward be decided illegal, and the people will have go redress. In reporting the woo! bill just as it was passed last year the democrats have put President Tait into an embarrassing ie. If he signs it, he admits that the bill was good when vetoed it, and that his veto merely delayed good legislation fora year. He thus admits that his tariff board had no greater wisdom than the committee that originally drew the bill, And then if he vetoes it again he vetoes a bill approved by the tariff board, and he rhust find some new excuse.

Then to the insult Taft added shame by appointing ex- ernor Sloan United States district judge for Ariz had been the bitter foe of the constitution for which a declared. He was under accusation of other things. y last the Arizona senate, part of representative gov- —o. for which Taft is so soticitous, protested against con- ition of Sloan, charging hostility to the state's constitution and irregularities as former district judge and governor. There is no loophole, no escape from the insult, shame and iny that Taft would inflict upon Arizona this time, save and merciful intervention by the United States senate, United States senate should kick Sloan's nomination out of its chambers; kick it hard and plenty! ™ D of picks, shovels and elbow grense, they have a new ers ee ce OE eee poremeen where are to be dug. “ o ° °o ORDERS for “Melican” clothes being rapidly recefved from China. factories are ronning overtime turning out caps for the yellow men.
