If the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Co. can defy at will the franchise, city rights, city authority, written agreements, written obligations —it is high time that we detinitely understand it. If the company can defy the franchise in one breath and insist upon its enforcement in another breath, to suit its own wishes, it is best that the people of Seattle know it. It will be well tor the people to know whether the Puget Sound Trac- tion, Light & Power Co, is boss of this city or not. From past performances, it appears much like the traction company has bossed things around at will. It can go into the federal court and, by in- junction, stop an aggressive competition of jitney busses until the latter meet proper bond obliga- tions. Yet no injunction stops traction company cars from running until the corporation meets ITHE ATTLE STAR Ualve 84. SE Entered at Seattle, Wash.

It will do so especially in Eng stall retains the gilded figurehead of kingship and where, despite religious tolerance, the established church still retains its great power and privileges. For Wells is proclaiming in this new piece of fiction that out of this war will c an era of republics and an age religion that will transcend the narrow confines of creed Wells tried to project himself world from afar. In this frar mind he rather than pessimist. He sees an end to kings and thrones No more will a few dynasts be able to say whether the world shall be plunged into bloody war or remain in blessed peace The peoples will take unto themselves the power and the view t into space and optin | government. In the same way, he has a vision of what is coming in the religious field. There will not be less belief in God, but more. However, he advances the theory that the new belief in God will not allow itself to be confined by sects and creeds. It will be something bigger, something broader, something more tolerant, something with more of the spirit of the Christ in it than anything we have known since Jesus ceased to preach in the Holy Land Coming from a man who was once rated as an agnostic, coming from a man stirred to his deeps by the awful world- tragedy of which he is an unhappy witness, this message is} sure to be the theme of many an angry sermon ~ But Wells will be happy.

PAGE 6 Defies City on Paving and Gross franchise obligations in the payment to the city ot paving costs and 2 per cent of gross receipts Four months ago, Judge Mackintosh took under advisement the question of whether the city can compel the company, by mandamus proceed- -, ings, to tive up to its franchise—to pay the costs of paving between tracks. A few days ago, the long-awatted decision was handed down, The judge ruled that the city could not enforce the tranchise provision because it was the business of the public service commission to do so. And yet, not so very long ago, another learned judge held that the public service commis- sion could not compel the traction company to sel tickets on street cars because the city franchise did not say so. Somehow the company has been getting out ot it, coming and going. And now it wants to wriggle out of a distinct franchise provision which commands it to sell 25 tickets for $1 at its offices. It wants to discontinue the four-cent ticket.
