Whether Seattle shall go ahead to a logical finish, as it set out some years ago, to create a great 100 per cent public port or whether it shall let the magnificent project slip back to private control—that is the question. _ With this vital matter of policy to be deter- ‘mined, the viewpoint, the careers, the abilities the various candidates for port commis- er become increasingly worthy of atten- There are six men running this year for one vacancy.

His backing by selfish ests, whatever may be his personal , makes his candidacy for the port mmission out of the question. WALTER S. WOOD has no qualifications which fit him for the important position to which he aspires. He is a job hunter pri- marily. In this campaign, he is, moreover, a n with a grudge. He was recently ‘dropped from a minor position in the pss i ization under circumstances w ake his entry into the race almost an af- front to the voters. His candidacy deserves no consideration. R. E. DOWNIE is a business man whose card reads “Cedar Poles; Fir Piles.” As far as The Star can learn, he is honest, intelligent md able. However, he is, perhaps, the least yn to the public of any in the field, and ears to have no chance whatever of elec- on. He probably ought to withdraw as a ¢andidate and throw his support to the ad- candidate who best represents his view- imerht. Tomorrow: Day, Nettleton. HE ruling of the prosecuting attor- ney on the question which had been raised concerning the eligi- bility of Mrs, Landes as a candi- date for the city council will meet virtually unanimous approval. It had been suggested that be- cause Mrs. Landes registered under her given name but filed as a candidate as “Mrs. Henry” Lan- des she somehow or other had made her nomination illegal. The prosecutor is right in calling the Objection “frivoious.” At best, it was an utter techni- cality that raised no question of importance to anybody. Mrs. Landes received more than a majority of all the ‘votes cast in the primary election, in spite of the large "field of candidates. Had Seattle the same charter pro- Vision which governs primaries in Tacoma and many “ether cities, she would have been declared elected forth- “with. As it stands, she is regarded as a certain winner on May 2. The Star hopes that she receives a practically unani- mous vote. As this paper has pointed out from the be- ginning, her candidacy stands for something that no other candidate’s does or could, considering the solid backing of all the women’s organizations which she enjoys. Mrs. Landes will bring into the city hall a new mu- nicipal influence, an influence for a sweeter, saner, more thoughtful civic life. It would have been nothing short of a calamity had a petty technicality been permitted to bar her from the service that Seattle will receive at her hands, A baby is born every nine minutes in New York.

Publishing Oe, Phone Main oeee Sound Counsel at Pasco (From the Spokesman-Review, Spokane) Roland = Martley, well. known Everett lumber man; Dr. EB, 0, Holland, president of Washington State college, and other speakers at the Pasco-Columbia basin con vention, struck a constructive note when they warned the people of the Pacifie Northwest that we are stripping the rich resources of this region and not giving suf ficient heed to the duty of devel. oping new resources. “We are cutting away our tim ber, In 80 years it will be gone, and we must develop our lands,” declared Mr. Hartley, Other aw thorities have said that we are cutting our timber six times as fast as new timber In grown, and have predicted that the forests of the Pacific Northwest will be de- nuded long before the 80 years forecasted by Mr. Hartley. President Holland drew atten tion to = fact that has not been sufficiently considered. “We have too many people in the cities, not enough tm the country, and if Washington goes forward it must go thru agricultural development.” Joseph Swalwell, Seattle bank President, spoke the same warn- ing in his address before a gath- ering of Spokane business men.
