SEATTLE. WEDNESDAY. MAY ..
TIE CHARTER REVISION.

'sBs sure you are right, then go ahead"
Is +ha excellent advice OF A typical Amer
lean. and Il could not be better applied
than In the case OF amending the city
charter. Two elections. one OF freehold
srs to draft the charter and another TO
submit It 10 the people. would cost from
u.ooo 10 $500 altogether. and that IS too
much money 10 throw away upon a chance
that the whole proceedings would be I'M
lawful Much harm would be done by
making a mistake: none can be done by
insuFing first that We are right II Is no
less the duty Of the city council TO avoid
wasting the peoples money than 10 carry
cut the instructions OF even 1890 voters.
The opinion Of Corporation Counsel
Scott seems to he based upon good judg-
ment. and tbs presumption Is that 1t Is
the result OF careful and conscientious
examination. for few men would care 10
voluntarily bring upon themselves the
ili-wili OF 3.noo voters by con,umaciously
endeavoring TO Illustrate their wishes.
The decision hinges, as the post-intei-
ligpneer pointed out az the time. not upon
the provision OF the constitution already
settled In the case OF the city against Car
son, but upon the question whether the
power OF cities OF the first class 10 frame
their own charters was exhausted by one
exercise Of II. or II not exhausted. whether
It can be again exercised except in the
manner laid down by the constitution. II
Is not contended. as Mr.. Scott SAYS, that
the legislature has not the power TO make
general laws which shall ba In effect
charters for cities OF specified class: but
1t may be doubted whether the legislature
could delegate It's authority to any other
body BY authorizing It to call for new
charter commission IN a manner other
than that provided by the constitution
He would DO rash critic who should
undertake to decide the question without
very careful investigation Of the subject.
and, since there is SO much doubt upon II.
he would be unwtse 10 take any chances
upon what POSITION the supreme court
may take. Indeed. the question involves
very grave Issues, and Il can BE- easily seen
that ire direct purpose of the constitution
may be easily defeated by indirect means.
although a state legislature would be very
chary aboet seeking TO defeat II by a
square effort 10 IssiSlata entirely for rnu-
inequalities whose Independence was made

How Narcissus Bulbs Multiply.
Tacoma Ledger


Deputy City Controller George Med.
Arkley takes 10 his office every day a
handsome bunch of narcissus. At his
home in Hosmer's addition he has fully
$500 of the plants In bloom. To neighbors
and friends he has given hundreds of the
bulbs each fall for several years past. II
was eleven years ago this spring that Mr..
Arkley lived In cottage on Pacific ave-
nue.. opposite the Fife hotel corner. a
cottage stood on the lot opposite Tenth
street. now covered with a brick block oc-
cupied by Macready's hardware store
Mr.. and Mrs. j. II. Houghton had moved
out 10 make room for the business build
Ing. Mr.. Arkley one day noticed the mar
cissus leaves shooting upward and that
evening took shovel and dug up thirty
of the bulbs, which would soon have been
destroyed. They constituted the stock
from which his present thousands have
grown. Counting what he has given and
thrown away. he thinks his original
thirty have produced at least 5000 narcis-
sus plants.
