R. Smith in a let- ter to The Star. It is nothing less than sabotage for the Puget Sound Electric Co. to deliberately curtail service on the interurban line in the hope of compelling submission on the part of the Duwamish valley citizens. g Sabotage has commonly been accepted as meaning only the weapon of disgruntled laborers who will injure their em- ployers’ property. But sabotage is also a weapon employed by railroad cor- | porations, and it so happens that in such cases sabotage not only injures the business of patrons but also their physical ) well-being. ‘ : ' The Puget Sound Electric Co, is not a pioneer in the em- ‘ployment of sabotage. The railroads of Missouri attempted it, and ) the State Public Service Commission: “The railroads need not imagine that they can | penalize the people of Missouri because of the enact- | ment of the 2-cent passenger fare law.” Bread and Water Diet for Wife Deserters E’RE not sure that a judge in Milwaukee hasn't found | part of the cure for the philanderings of amatory mar ried men.

How the Railroads Waste Money OR miles along the tracks of a great railway system the F other day, piles of discarded ties were being burned They were remnants of noble forests profligately sacrificed nd they ended as they began, in criminal waste Thousands of homes in cities would have been gladdened by the chance to use these ties in winter as firewood. If the cost of shipping them to terminals makes this use prohibitive, there must be plenty of thrifty folk along the way who would be glad to collect them and put them to use. But, no! In this latest period of the conservation move- ment they are sacrificed with as much cheerful extravagance ms were the first trees that fell victims to the woodsmen’s greed.

Here’s a Suggestion ep VRING the week closing today the King County Fair association has demonstrated that it is possible to con duct a fair in this county of credit to the producers of the} } county and to its management, and at the same time make | , it pay its way. With this in mind, there comes the suggestion that it Emight be of greater advantage to the city of Seattle to take that money which is spent each year in its Potlatch anc it in building up the annual fair as an attraction during the day and in providing downtown attraction at night during the week of the fair. Such an arrangement would permit us to offer to the people of Washington something real in the way of enter tainment. We would send our visitors home with something to remember that would be of value to them. They wouldn't go home with heads aching from the noise and the refresh ments. Coupled with such a celebration, the merchants of Se attle might arrange for the evenings a style show at the g{rmory or in some other suitable place. This is merely a suggestion.
