Can’t Understand Why Jury Indicts JOB, SAYS WHITNEY |Grand Jury Adjourns Thursday After In- dicting 44 More Persons, 30 Secret He Asks for a Chance If He Gets a Job, Judge Says He Won’t Have to Go to Reformatory Wa. This ts Hom ng from St — | EDITORIAL N’T the city administration realize CAS by bully- ragging the campaign to place the city manager amendment on the ballot, they are simply piling up sym- pathetic votes for the measure? First an attempt was made to throw out the campaign booth from the Pike Place market, where signatures had been obtained for initiatives and other meas- ures for years without molestation. The city manager folks had to go to court to stop that. Now, with sufficient names obtained for the measure to qualify, an effort is being made to block its certification to City Comptroller Carroll. Councilmen are making arrangements to give, by ordinance, to Carroll the au- thority to put the measure on the ballots. In order to comply with the law, this cer- tification must be made by Saturday. An_ ordinance is cumbersome... After passing the council, it must go to the mayor. Altho Mayor Brown is outspoken in his enmity to the manager plan, he said Thursday he would sign the ordinance. But an ordinance always is subject to delays that were not antici- pated. Proponents of the measure contend council can pass this authorization by resolution. This is speedy. It becomes effective immediately. It need not go to the mayor—or to anyone. The pro- ponents cite state supreme court rulings PROPOSAL! dooger usialiaiagss Body to| Adjourn on Feb. 14.

Thus far not a single one of the prisoners have spent a night in jail, their bail bonds being ready for them by Attorney Jerry Finch, who also was indicted as a member of the ring, just as soon as they were asked for.
