Arrest Prominent Doctor in War on Drug Traffic WHY COLLINS? O the independent voters: Why Josiah Collins? The Star asks the question in all fairness. Why should Josiah Collins be elected to the council? Why should Collins WANT to be a councilman? What is the excuse? Let us consider Josiah Collins honestly, with- out prejudice. Let us get away, as it were, to a quiet corner, where we can think clearly and honestly. Josiah Collins has lived in Seattle since 1883 —a matter of 32 years. If there is any excuse for Collins’ election to the council, certainly the length of his residence ought to make it very easy for him or his boosters to point it out. What is the excuse? What has Josiah Col- lins ever done for the happiness of the average person in Seattle? His friends say he is a “public spirited” citizen. Why? What has he ever done to earn this praise? What have been the public spirited acts that recommend Collins? Up to four years ago, Josiah Collins’ fame extended only to the society columns. He was, and is, an ideal master of ceremonies. He knows all the rules of etiquette and can lead a cotillion with the best of them. From that standpoint he has been very “public spirited.’ His membership in the Rainier club, in the Golf and Country club, the Junior Chaperon Danc- ing club, the Union club of Tacoma, and other exclusive clubs, has fitted him with a most ex- cellent training for social duties. It was, therefore, entirely proper for the Chamber of Commerce to appoint Josiah Col- lins as chairman of the entertainment commit- tee on various occasions. It was also fitting that Josiah Collins should have been chairman of the Committee on Cere- mony, Music and Entertainment of the A.-Y.-P. exposition. In fact, it was most fortunate, for when President Taft visited the fair, no less a person than Josiah Collins ACTED AS THE PRESIDENT’S CADDY ON THE GOLF LINKS AT THE COUNTRY CLUB. Wealthy, Collins had retired from active law practice for many years, and was quite free for social activities. As a toastmaster at banquets, as master of ceremony at dances and entertain: ments and bridge teas and tango teas, Josiah Col- lins has no superior in Seattle. It was only this sort of activity that engaged the time and thought of Josiah Collins until, in 1910, he was elected to the state senate. The Star takes it that a man in public office . should reflect, to some degree, at least, the wishes and sentiments of the public. What has been Collins’ record in the senate? The Star will let you judge for yourself. Josiah Collins was one of three sen- ators who voted against the mothers’ pension law. Collins voted for the amendments that would have defeated the wom- an’s eight-hour law. He voted against abatement law. He voted against the workmen’s compensation act. He made the motion in the 1911 session to kill the bill to abolish hanging. He voted against the minimum wage law for women. He introduced a bill to allow aliens, who are not, and refuse to become, American citizens, to own land in this state. He voted for all amendments that would have killed off the initiative, referendum and recall, but on the fi- nal vote he recorded himself in favor of those measures. He voted for the logged-off land bill, but when the Chamber of Com- merce came out against it in the King county election, COLLINS SAID HE VOTED FOR IT WITHOUT FULLY REALIZING WHAT HE DID, AND Af MADE SPEECHES AGAINST Last year Collins was one of the members of the charter commission, which recommended the Hinky Dink charter for adoption by the people, and which the voters promptly and decisively refused to adopt. This, in brief, is Collins’ record.
