The Portland Oregonian has recently
been publishing a lot of stuff about high
er rents In Seattle working ruin to the
email tradesmen Of the city" 1t is un-
doubtedly true that rents have in many
instances been raised during the past few
months, but ii Is doubtful II there Is any
considerable proportion of the property
that has been or is paying anything like q
fair percentage on its actual valuation.
House rents are low In ssattle-iower than
in Portland. Store rents have not reached a
like low figure. because, unlike Portland,
the bulk Of the retail trade is in the hands
OF the relatively small merchants. and
will remain there, In Portland the small
tradesmen have been driven out of busi-
ness by the department. stores, and in GER
tain parts of the city there are empty
storerooms that cannot be filled at any
price. The Oregonian need not worry about
Seattle tradesmen. il would better at
tempt to solve the really serious home
problems that confront It.

The state Of Delaware has supreme
bench where Dogberry would have been
at home. The court holds that all law
yers are state officers, and inasmuch as
in Delaware no person can be a state Of
ficer who cannot vote for members OF the
legislature no woman can be a lawyer.
1t is clear that there must be statute in
Delaware which has operated to keep
lawyers of the supreme bench, and put
on lot Of old women.
