Or THE scRirrs OF NEWSPAPERS NORTHWEST aph INCREASING THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE PORT COMMISSION And There remain but 10 days before the port election. now the plunderbund has centered its attack upon increasing the membership of the port commission from three to five members. And why? Because this gang of crafty looters of the pub- lic treasury are unable to control the present board. ade port election in order to gain control of the port commission. Vote, if you will, for municipal ownership, but if these manipulators get control of the board, they will manage to devise ways and methods to evade the will of the electorate. The real reason behind the attempt to increase the member- ship of the commission is that a few real estate owners of merce channels, are exceedingly peeved because the people were not compiled to pay fancy prices for their property. The gang is showing its teeth when it mouths the state- ment, pregnant with meaning, that “two of the present com- missioners are notoriously unfit for office.” These are, of Course, the men who fought the gang and prevented a most | gigantic theft of the people’s money and credit. a But even if they were unfit, the remedy does not lie in increasing the membership every time someone feels peeved. | If that were so, we'd have by this time 49 mayors, 65 gov- ernors, 487 councilmen and 12,698 legislators. are willing to sacrifice most everything else ° Harbor island, whose influence is felt in Chamber of Com-| We'd surely have more than three county commissioners, | [+ IO What He Saw. j % {i Tx aut Come {nto the garden, Bob,”| she said, “And I'll show you my new! hose And Bob he went, you bet he did,} With the speed that an auto| go Here's where you get fooled, aa! sure as you're born Twas a rubber hose to sprinkle the law | st has started an strike.
