SEATTLE STAR | Frome: Setiling a “Disturbance” Tet us take a look at the state which Bob La Follette has e built—Wisconsin. They are having an “industrial disturb ance,” a street railway strike, at Superior, Street railway strikes are about the most distressful of our labor disturbances because so large a proportion of the people suffer therefrom, directly. i Bob has got it so arranged that the patrons, the people who merely use street railway cars and do not draw wages from the company or own stock in the company, practically ettle the trouble Under one of Bob's state laws the people may condemn the corporation's railway and become owners of it, if they can show that the company is unable to properly deal with its employes, or gives inefficient service, or if its profits are greater than is reasonable. “If,” says the mayor of Superior, “we find it to call out the militia, the fact will be the very best reason for taking over the railways by the city.” Isn't that a funny way in which to settle a strike? A city Becomes infested by the vile imported strike-breakers and there are riots, The traveling public condemns and takes over the railways. In other words, the folks who support the street railway employes and pay the profits on the company’s invest ment, decide to get what they pay for, It is action by the people who finally pay the bill, no matter what the character of the industrial disturbance. probably be taken in every one of our disturbances in which necessary public service corporations are concerned, were it not for one} In our condemnatory proceedings shall the appraise “water” thing. * ment be based on the actual investment or shall the be included fior company is earning 25 per cent over and above interest} Pretty valu- on its bonds, which amounts to several millions able, juicy cinch, if you hold it, isn’t it? Let’s see if the people of Bob La Follette’s state pay for this juice, It is really worthy of everybody's observation, for it may be a beginning toward Bettlement of one of the greatest questions of the day. Non-Partisan Elections Take the office of county engineer, for example. For that Position the county needs a man who is a capable engineer, a ‘man who has the technical knowledge of the engineering pro fession, who knows how to build, and construct, and dredge, and such things. What difference does it make whether he is a Republican, Democrat, Progressive, Socialist or Prohibitionist? li you, Mr. Private Citizen, needed a man to do some @nginecring work, you would get the best man you could and you would not bother to ask him what political party he was Supporting. The county should do the same. We should have fion-partisan elections for county offices at least. The Pro essive party platform in this state promises to enact such a . Progressive candidates for the legislature have pledged themselves to pass such a non-partisan law. Hear Him Tonight Tonight at the Coliseum theatre “Bob” Hodge will be the Principal speaker at the big progressive rally, This meeting will afford Hodge his first opportunity to address a big assembly in his home city since he became a candidate for governor. In the imary campaign it was necessary for Hodge to devote all of money and most of his time in outside sections of the state. He depended upon the people who knew him in King county to Stand by him here, while he gained new friends in other rounti How well he succeeded was shown both by the mon- rallies he held in Tacoma and Spokane and BY THE BIG Grioniry OF THE VOTES HE POLLED IN THE ATE AS A WHOLE. Tonight Hodge will talk to the people of Seattle anc will have something special to say to you. Observations IT’S TONIGHT. At the Coliseum. Bob Hodge, people's pandidate for governor, will be the principal speaker. ALOT of good people have signed the foolish recall against Cotterill, not knowing that the recall is being incubated by a little gang of political prostitutes. i he PROGRESSIVES are making thousands of votes by dis- tributing the progressive party platform. They would probably ‘make even more votes if they distributed the republican party platform. The standpatters are not distributing it. dle lever. blows—nob shun thentall day lon us make life, dea: *% and the vast forever ne Chinese aos will be eo ', Gwe crash ——_—— = ae = 4 *z* * a * ee ee ed * QUICK BUSINESS * William b, collector of the port of New York, was dis. * cussing the wi rous speed and simplicity used in the transac. * tion of American business. * * “In a banker's ofice, the other day,” he said, “I saw a door * % open, a head stuck itself quickly into the opening and a voice de- *& * manded: * + “ ‘Quarter?’ ©” * “Yep, the bank president replied, * «x * * a * £ * * * : * * “The head withdrew. 1 asked in wonderment: * od “What kind of a cipher is that you are talking?’ * * “No cipher at all,’ the president replied. “That was one * * of Chicago's leading financiers, and I have just arra * * him % million dollars for a month at 5 per cent. * *® Mail and Express. * Kaka Kh hhh hhh hhh hh hhh hk Serious Costly Sickness is far too sure to come when your bodily strength has been underm by the poison of bile.
