Judge Albertson has demonstrated the utter lack of public-serving attitude on the part of the public service commission, at least as it was constituted under Gov. Hay. All that was necessary for a public utility corporation to gain an increase in rates was to file an application and keep the matter under cover as far as possible. The commission took it for granted that the incr custom to allow the boost in rates without inquiry or investigation, out about it and a protest was filed. uld ce ‘h unless somebody to prove the unreasonablenss of the new schedule! If, as in the gas case, the objector, the city of Seattle, did not positively show up public service commission, the people's servants, decided for the corporation and the people.

For several years after it first started The Star was NOT an advertising medium. True, it had a good many thousand readers, but they took the paper in a desultory way, just glancing through the news matter and neglecting the ad- vertising. Today The Star is a little better than fourteen years old, and during this fourteen years has gained the confidence of its readers. They KNOW that there will be bargains from Seattle’s leading stores in The Star, and they look for them. A newspaper, to be a successful advertising medium, must have not alone thou- sands of readers, but must have the confidence of these readers. Unless they read the ads the advertising is worthless. They read Star ads— over 40,000 families every evening.
