The Seattle Star Pedtiehed Daily ty Tr Paper Enterpri Hy, Bee par SBrrier, city, tee ar Publishing Co. Phone Main L, out of «By Gilman, Wieell & Rethman, Special Representatives San Franctece of Monadn ds as . ne bidg.; New York office Danadian Pec dg; Boston t Retire Ed Sims Ed Sims should be kicked out of public of Goy, Hart should oust Sims from the fisheries And the people of the Olympic peninsula should tell / sims that he cannot go to the state legislature again. Sims is an out-and-out special interests man, He is a ® determined, resourceful fighter and a dangerous man in Public office. He is not merely a servant of the interests "Opposed to progressive legislation and liberal government; "he is actually a dominant figure in the camp of the hardest | boiled reactionaries. He is the organizer and tactician for the foes of good government. While Sims remains ciose to the Hart administration ust how close nobody seems to know—there will always & suspicion, a well-grounded belief, that he is putting over his “stuff.” | Sims would kill municipal ownership if he could, He did his best to do that in the late lamented session of the leg- islature. Tt was Sims who backed the fight to ruin the Port of i Seattle and the Port of Tacoma. And Sims was the ONLY © legislator who actually got a with a deliberate, raw in- vasion of the state treasury—for the special interest of the oi) wildcatters. The Sims bill raided the state funds Zor $50,000 and put the state into the oi! speculation game. Sims will not resign, but he can be removed from public life, and he will be—if Gov. Hart has nerve enough to do / it. And Sims will be retired from the legi re at the Mext election, if the decent citizens of the Olympic penin Sula counties get on the job. And the state of Washington will owe Gov the people of Sims’ district a vote of this enemy of progress back into private Hart and f they kick A couple that shouldn't be divorced iy strawberries and cream y Come on, spring fever! Mark Reed and “Wee” Coyle Tt would not be fair to let the recent legislature slip into of tfulness without saying some words of appreciation j of the efforts put forth by Lieut. Gov. Coyle and Speaker Reed to save it from itself. Both of them tried sincerely to jam more conservative Tegislation thru the hopper. Without their hard work and : ce even the few eleventh-hour measures of merit Which did get thru might have failed. This is especially true of the workmen’s compensation bill, which Speaker Reed vigorously forced the house to enact over the power- Tul opposition of a reactionary lobby. | Both of these men showed good leadership and a sense Of public duty which the public ought to appreciate in this | session, which was, generally speaking, so devoid of both - qualities. Dan Landon and Charles Heighton Among the King county delegation two men stood out q ar’. in a favorable way, in the legislative session just These were Dan Landon, in the senate, and ' Charles Heighton, in the house. | One of the few constructive achievements of the session a reduction in appropriations. This resulted in very irge measure from the determination and hard work of tor Landon, as chairman of the senate appropriations ittee. Heighton, a new member, aroused the hostility of the tne and the interest and appreciation of the people of the state by boldly exposing lobby abuses. More Drug Addicts Now? A druggist sends this interesting letter: “I challenge the statement that there are more drug fiends, in propor- ition to population, than there used to be. Years ago, When I started as a pharmacist in a small town, I had customers who came in daily for their morphine and gum | Opium. Anyone could buy a teaspoonful of drugs for a | few cents then, no questions asked, no registration re- @uired. Now that the drug traffic is prohibited, the drug addict naturally gets attention, same as the man who Manages to get a quart in prohibition.” This druggist is half right, half wrong. But it’s a safe bet there aren’t as many drug fiends in America as some claim. Conditions and people are never so bad as they are painted. $1.25 an Hour for Building Men In Cleveland the building trades agree on a wage scale around $1.25 an hour, same as the 1920 war inflation peak. df you hear an explosion coming in over your radio, it May be a farmer reading this. We are always glad when prosperity comes to any one, Particularly to people who work hard for a living. The Joker is that prices soon rise to cancel most of the bene- fits of wage advances. A “secondary period of inflation” followed the civil war. Tt didn’t last long. We're in the ear ages of a sec- | ondary period of inflation now. The wise, who have good ( Memories, are salting away something for the emergency Of a possible reaction. The Fascination of a Baby The most interesting news from Europe for several weeks is the rumor that ex-Kaiser Bill expects another heir. If true, and if it’s a boy, the birth may be tre- ' Mendously historic. For, when the boy reaches manhood, about 1944, it is conceivable that the Germans might be ready for another emperor and the boy’s older brothers be all dead. The odds are against that. But the baby would be a big stake in the international lottery. You never can tell what any baby will grow up to be. That’s half their charm. : ARE YOU TOO THIN?

Washington mines are supplying about one-half. This proportion holds thru- out the state. If the minés of this state were patronized to the fullest possible extent by the people of Washington millions of dollars would be kept at home; there would be steady employment for thousands of men now inter- mittently employed, and many more would obtain work; and there would be new homes, new taxable wealth, and a marked increase in prosperity.
