MALLON WASHINGTON, Nov. Congress is again in session, As the gavels of Vice President Coolidge and Speaker Gillette fell in the two houses, on the stroke of noon, in response to President Harding's call for an extraordinary session, the 1924 presidential campaign was under way. Both parties, as the result of the | | startling upsets in the last election, will use the special assembly and the segsions to follow as a battle | ground for the presidential campaign of 1924. / Ship subsidy, appropriation bills, attempts to revive the bonus and to amend the prohibition laws, were to feature the special session.

Now, while and their acts. Truman H. Newberry real corrupt practices act, with stand the test of the supreme court, which upset Michigan’s efforts to prevent rich Mr. Newberry from buying his way (EDITORIAL) Truman H. Newberry has abandoned his seat in the United States senate before the people ‘“Newberry’d” him out. His resignation will probably go down in history as Mr. New- berry’s most useful public act. The Star, which has fought Newberryism since the first day Mr. Newberry appeared: to claim a seat in the senate, has no disposi- tion to gloat over Truman H. Newberry personally. The Star is concerned with is- sues, not persons. The Star, however, sees a danger in the very victory growing out of Newberry’s resignation. In the rejoic- ing over the cleansing of the United States senate of this one dirty spot, the pur- chased seat of the junior Michigan senator, the public is likely to forget the issue of Newberryism. Newberryism is not dead with Truman Newberry’s resignation. Other seats in the United States senate have become the pawns of the wealthy. In other states than Michigan rich men, by squandering inherited for- tunes, have made themselves senators. They will continue to do so, unless we learn the lesson of the Newberry case. What the public needs now is the enactment of a teeth in it—one that will What the public needs it must demand, or else it will not the issue of Newberryism is hot, is the time to demand of congress laws which will authorize the public investigation of candidates’ expenditures, their books republican leader entered the cham. | ber.

Revision of Mayor Brown's plan for a ‘cent carfare, an- nounced Saturday, came Mon day morning, with the announce- men that he will throw his influ- ence behind « plan to sell tokens at four for 25 cents, the dises to carry transfer privileges, with a straight cash fare of 5 cents, with no transfers for cash pa- trons. “This system will cause no deficit, a6 would the 4cent fare without transfers, previously considered,” Brown said Monday, “It is my opin- fon that the peopte of Seattle would vote down any amendment to draw from the general fund for the pal railway. “The 6%-cent tokens will mean that transfers will cost pa- trone 114 cents each, if this plan — is adopted by the city council, and this will put a stop to abuse of the transfers as they are now handled,” the mayor said. That a lower car fare will be in effect in the spring of 1928 is prob- able, from the viewpoints of council members. With the exception of Councilman John EB. Carroll, who favors the present fare with a week- that will work in Seattle,” Carroll sald. “This plan should be tried before any reduction of fare ts attempted.” Councilman Robert Hesketh be- lieves the most feasible solution is that offered by the ordinance, in- troduced last June, which proposed a fivecent fare with a charge of two cents for transfers. “That ordinance was sidetracked. It should be voted on. As to these later propositions, they have come so thick and fast that more time is needed before I can pick a favor- ite from the field; but I am .n favor of a fivecent fare, as I have al- ways been. It was promised the people before the last election and they are entitled to actioa on it” was Hesketh's statement. Other council! members Monday deciared themselves as standing for lower carfare; but all declined to commit themselves to any of the numerous plans the olty hall has reverberated with in the past week.
