ON THAINS AND NEWS STANDS, Se ONE CENT RSDAY, JAN, 1915. 410 p GER! JF THE attorney of the Seattle Electric Co. had to frame a bill to job the public and serve his own employer, he couldn’t have succeeded more admirably than to have written Senate Bill No. 46. Ostensibly, the bill was framed by Sen. Taylor of King county. But the most that can be said for it is that Taylor introduced it. Who really did frame it is a secret. It’s one of the most audaciously vicious bills ever presented to a pub- lic body for consideration. Taylor has already succeeded in pulling the wool over the utilities committee's eyes. The committee has unanimously recommended it for passage. An idea of the brazen character of the bill may be obtained from section 9, which reads: “IN GRANTING FRANCHISES, THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY OF MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (THE COUNCIL) SHALL HAVE NO JURISDICTION CONCERNING THE RATES TO BE CHARGED OR THE SERVICE TO BE RENDERED. ie That means the council has nothing to say about what rates shall be charged either by city owned plants or by private corporations. And that is only one section of the 19 sections of a bill which fairly bristles with corporation dictation. Taylor's plan is to rid the city of every vestige of control of public utilities and to place it in the hands of the three public service commis- sioners. Where the bill does not brazenly usurp city rights, it accomplishes the same result by means of jokers and loopholes for corporation attor- neys. But, Mr. Taylor, and gentlemen of the senate and house, no law of this sort is going on the statute books. There is the little old referendum, which you evidently have forgot- ten. If you pass that Taylor bill, the referendum will be employed. And the referendum has a mighty good kick in it, gentlemen of the legislature. THE PEOPLE MAY STAND SOME DEALS, BUT NOT ANY- THING QUITE SO RAW AS SENATE BILL NO. 46.
