But it’s really old, old stuff. It brings back the palmy days, dear to the heart of every boodler, when members of the legislature named United States senators. The highest bidder, the fellow with the biggest barrel, the man whom the Big Interests wanted and backed up, as in the Lorimer case in Illinois and less notorious cases in our own state but equally as infamous, usually got the toga. In the state it was the United States senator. Under the proposed charter it will be the city manager. In the state, it was members of the legislature. In the city, it will be 30 members of the council. Why? Because it’s the Hinky Dink system of wards. The member of the legislature from Podunk didn’t care for the rest of the state and was willing to trade off a senatorship vote for money or for some advantage to which his particu- lar district had no good claim. If Podunk didn’t jump on him, the rest of the state could yell its head off. It didn’t bother the Hinky Dink legislator. In the city it will inevitably be the same. ‘The ward councilman will owe no duty to the city as a whole. It’s his job to get the votes in his own district, and if he can give them some cheap sop, he will be free to trade off the rest of Seattle on any proposition whatever. He can vote for anybody for city manager and he'll try to get the most for himself out of that vote. It won’t be a question of getting the best manager for the whole city, no more than it used to be a question of getting the best senator for the whole state. It’s a notorious fact that the state Hinky Dink system wal- lowed in the cesspool of bribery, graft, crookedness and corruption when the state manager—U. S. senator—was “hand-picked.” Will it be any different if city Hinky Dinks pick a city manager? WOMAN DRIVES; | 'AFRAIDOF SUICIDE, IN HOSPITAL NOW SHE OUGHTA GET INJUNCTION When Mrs, M.
