Among those voting “yes” are Remsberg and Ewald, candidates for re-elcction to the commission; the Seattle Commercial Club, the Municipal league, the Public Ownership league, and industries now compzlled to pay extortionate switching charges. Among those voting “no” are the Chamber of Commerce, the private dock owners, the two “kept” newspapers, the FIRST TWO transcontinental railroads to obtain terminal facilities in Seattle, the heavy job- bers who have their switching charges absorbed by the railroads, and the steamship association whose vessels are registered at Port Townsend and Kitsap county to avoid King county taxes.

Boalt ue STAR hopes that the voters of Seat- e will elect Oscar A. McGill to the pA. board next Saturday. McGill is a strong, able, courageous, pro- gressive man. The school board and the schools need, perhaps more than any other public institution in the city, a man of the | McGill type to help put its affairs in order. The board, as now constituted, is stand- pat. The administration of the schools is left largely in the hands of Superintendent |Cooper and Secretary Reuben Jones. | McGill says that Cooper and Jones have built up in the schools a machine which runs noiselessly, mercilessly, crushing out indi- | viduality and initiative in the teachers.
