A Judge in Mount Vernon, one of the
invalid the law regulating the speed
of motor vehicles. The ground he takes
is that the measure failed to limit the
speed of other vehicles at the same fig
ure as provided for the motor cars. The
discrimination against motor vehicles
makes the law unconstitutional. If
other vehicles went at the same pace
as the motor vehicles, they would be
considered "runaWayS."

the ticket weakened it. The orator

the policy holders could know each

fected whereby the lists are to remain
secret through seven months in the

The remarkable fact about the dis

ference of opinion about publicity
this was to be expected-but the curl
Gus thing is that the lobby Of three
companies which has been unceasing

in temporarily inserting in the bill a
provision that the policy holders
should negotiate with one another
through the home office. This clever
suggestion meant, of course, simply the
perpetuation Of the ms. 1t was elected
from the bill, but the fact that it was
considered shows the finesse Of the
insurance lobby. 1t makes it consid-
erably palmer how it succeeded so
well in controlling former legisla-
lures.

THE INSURANCE CODE.

The Armstrong insurance code is
practically completed with the sigma
ture of Governor Higgins to the bill
for the naturalization of the companies.
This will give rise at the last to a
sharp debate over the question whether
the lists of policy holders should be
made public property. The matter at
issue was the means whereby policy
holders might communicate with one
another in case they wished to put in
new management. There was objec-
ton raised to the publicity of the lists
on the ground that it offered informa-
ton to rival companies and opportuni-
ties for the exercise of the twisting
process, that is the inducement of
men to surrender insurance in one
company and take it in another. This
was felt to be such an injustice and
such a departure from business that
the provision was stricken out of the
bill until Mr.. Hughes threw the great
weight of his authority into the discus
sion with speech which clearly in
dicated that to refuse publicity would

NEW CHARTER IS NEEDED.

While the report of the Seattle ex-
perts on the ctys books is by no
means worth the exorbitant price
which must be paid for it-nearly
$4,000 for work which should not have
cost more than one-sixth that amount
yet it serves a usful purpose in call
ing attention to the loose and unsys-
tematic methods of keeping the citys
accounts. This is probably due main
" to the anomalous condition of at
fairs resulting from the attempt of
city of 10000 people to conduct its
multifarious business interests under
an old territorial charter suited to a
town of fourth the population of
WaIla Walla. Under the present sys-
tenn each department of the city's gov
eminent is a law unto itself. There
is no legal head to the city's bust
ness. The mayor cannot assume such
responsibility without arrogating to
himself powers not conferred upon him
by the charter Under this system the
MAYOR cannot justly be held RESPONSE
BILE for the delinquencies of any de-
partment. The mayor is paid no sal
arv for his services and what he does
for the city is purely labor of love.
He gives many hours of time that
would prove valuable in his private
business to the city merely from
sense of civic duty. Usually his only
reward is censure for the shortcom-
ings. of salaried officials over whom ne
has no supervision or control.
That Walla Walla should do is to
slough off the old charter, which has
served as a chrysalis for the town in
its primitive. crawling, caterpillar
stage, and take on the new form of
municipal life provided by statute fol
cities of the first class. All that will
be necessary after II mas been eStdp-
lished that the population of the city
has in fact reached 10000, will be to
submit the question to a vote of the
people of the city.
If this new system of government
should be adopted a comptroller elected
by the people would be responsible
for all the city's accounts and he would
be held responsible for all moneys re-
ceived or paid out. The mayor would
appoint the chief of police and would
be held responsible for the enforcement
or enforcement of the city's ordi-
nances The mayor would also APP
