Pony Used at “l Washington Festivities in A NAME? Let All Decide — (EDITORIAL) HE STAR doesn’t like to see all this squabbling between Seattle and Tacoma over the name of the mountain. It. doesn’t believe that. it building of the Northwest, marily interested. The Star believes that Seattle and Tacoma, facing the biggest tourist season in history, should be pull- ing together right now for a bigger and better Puget Sound country, rather than biting at one another's heels oyer the question of a suitable name for only one of a whole Northwest of seenic. wonders, The mountain, belongs to Uncle Sam. The park is the nation’s playground. It is not Seattle's, It is not Tacoma’ If there is to be any change in the name recom- mended to Uncle Sam, every man and woman in the state should have an equal chance to have his say as to what that name should be. All are equally inter- ested, This, then, is what The Star suggests: Put the question of what we will call the mountain to the voters at the state election in the fall. Initiate it, in the form of a memorial to congr and give every Washingtonian a chance to express himself to determine for all time the real will of all the people. Prosecutor Douglas, in an opinion Friday, said that the procedure would be to initiate the measure with a petition that would require 50,000 signatures or 10 per cent of the vote cast for governor in the last election, and then to lay the matter of placing the memorial on the state ballot before the secretary of state. The Star believes this would be an eminently fair way of settling the controversy. It suggests that those primarily interested in both cities in the name change get busy and circulate the petitions.

And then let bygones be bygones, forget our differ- ences and pull together to make the Charmed Land areal country of peace and prosperity. is conducive to the up- in which we are all pri- Campus Day Horse Loses to Auto ’ in 1907, but Meany Is Given Elegant Sedan at 1924 a P Times and customs change ery quickly and mutch.
