The City Council’s Opportunity The Seattle city council is presented a wonderful op portunity to protect citizens against the attempts of the Pacific Telephone & T aph Co, to boost phone rates The phone company is requesting a 25-year franchis At the same time it has two cases pending in courts in an effort to raise Councilman Lou Cohen has Which states the intention of the council not to renew the franchise until the company has dismissed this liti gation and assured the city against any other rate in- crease: This resolution will come before the council from the franchise committee with two recommendations, the ma jority signed by President Fitzgerald and Councilman Blaine, advising that resolution be not passed, and a minority I signed by Councilman Cohen urging that the resolution be passed. Fitzgerald and Blaine state that the phone company Should not be forced into such action, but that the court @ase should be decided on its merits. Corporation Counsel Kennedy has pointed out that the city’ chance to Save itself from a rate hoost is thru Cohen's resolution Should the city grant the francl without any re Strictions, he says, this fact would be used ag in the rate cases. Seattle wants no box lephone ra It does Want the city council iously to grant the my an unrestricted ear franchise and then he company come baek with the 35 per cent inc already attempted. The council should p. the Cohen resolution. Four Members have definitely stated that they will line up be hind the minority report. It is up to the rest of that bod to fall in line with these four in the effort to protect this city from a gouging by the phone company, renewal rates, introduced a resolution the only Lise net it not have ease The Divine mind is as visible in its full energy of operation on every Tewly bank and moldering stone as in the lifting of the pillars of heaven, and settling the foundation of the earth—Ruskin. ‘The brightest boy in any neighborhood is the one who knowy the make of every auto he sees.

Showing the Right Spirit Tn the last number of Seattle Busine Commerce weekly, appear a news story and an editorial, both dealing with the Port of Seattle terminals. The news story tells of the visit made here by 100 grain and fruit growers of the e, of their inspection of the port facilities and of the pl scussed for bring- ing about a more thoro use of them in the shipment of Washington products. The editorial commented on thi spirit behind it and discussed the ex facilities. Now this is as it should be.

If we get Judge Gary correctly , he will approach the eight-hour day by way of Cape Horn. Russia will build the world’s largest air fleet, but we don't know about its upkeep. Losing a Best Bet Mr. R. D. Baker once lived in Georgia and was proud Ofit. A year or more ago his son was hanged for killing @ deputy sheriff in an impulsive moment. Father Baker Was incensed, and, to show his feelings plainly, he moved, bag and baggage, over into Tennessee. A little later he returned to Georgia long enough to erect a monument over the grave of his son. On the monument he had in- seribed affectionate tribute to his son as well as indig- nant and denunciatory tribute to Georgia's brand of jus- tice. Then he hastened back to Tennessee. The Georgians took angry note of the monument script and they have now gone over to Hamilton county, Tenn., where Baker now liv seeking the latter’s indictment for criminal libel. There are legal difficulties in their way, however, for it may be true that the inseription on the tombstone cannot be construed to the “uttering and publishing” of a libel. The matter is interesting, but we fear its outcome will not be satisfactory to the angry Georgians. Their safest bet would seem to be the citation of Be er for indirect contempt of court. Ther where courts shine, justice blinks dazedly, and justification, mitigation, decency and constitutional rights are as nothing at all. Never is the cited person innocent and always is he punished, Other- wise, the court’s dignity would be sadly frayed and raveled. f i Greek general planned a coup d'etat.

With detonat- ing gasoline the explosion may end here, Non-Detonating Gasoline Works a Full Stroke “ Gasolines explode in two ways. One kind explodes with a crash.

The power of the explosion is over before the piston is half way down the full length of its stroke, Due to the tendency to explode prema- turely, detonating gasoline limits com: pression in your cylinders, » It causes much of the “knocking” you notice on hills. And the repeated crash- ing blows increase vibra- tion, thus increasing wear and tear, The Sustained Explosion The explosion from Union Gasoline is of the other kind, It is sharp but sustained—non-deto- -Nating. It gives impulse to the piston for the full length of the stroke. Power and efficiency are increased as a result of increased compression, because, as all authorities know, non-detonation permits added compression.
