TWO CENTS oun Ma rr) IN * ANOTHER HAN “TS INJURED IN to Demonstrate F ae a KEEP OUT! This Means Candidates YY committee to investigateevork to date and ex- penditures on the Skagit must be as “bomb-proof” as possible to prevent politics from creeping into it. How, then, shall it be appointed? The Star suggests that the job not be left to any one man, or to any group of political ap- pointees, It suggests that the city council keep the ap- pointment of this committee in its own hands. It suggests that no member of the committee be named who does not get THE UNANIMOUS VOTE OF EVERY ONE OF THE NINE MEM- BERS OF THE COUNCIL. On the council are men and women of varied po- litical alignment; men and women with opposite views in regard to the ‘Skagit. If, over these differences, its members can all agree on the investigators, The Star believes the chances for a committee that is impartial and politically disinterested are much greate: Seattle does not want the Skagit to become a political football. It was unfortunate that the question of more funds for Skagit work had to come up at a time when mayoralty candidates are busy in the field. But The Star, rather than see municipal ownership endangered by overburdening the Skagit with debt, took the risk of calling for an investigation in the midst of the political fight. Political candidates, if they have the interest of the Skagit at heart, will see the wisdom of keeping out of any active participation in the Skagit investigation. ers generally want an ABSOLUTELY IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATION and not one that can be used for the political benefit of any party or person. The crux of the whole Skagit investigation lies in the care with which the investigating committee is selected, [TWO DIE IN | ICY WATERS OKLAHOMA CITY, Okia., Feb, 8, | Two were drowned and three oth- Store Fixtures Offered ) the, Miscellaneous columns to- light are some bargains in store | DRUNK DRIVER Prince of Wales Youth Is Elevator Shaft in Star Building Janitor ‘ e a by | badly: in, | accident | ‘ even.
