Says Bennett Only
Pulled the Weeds off
That New Park Road
20 the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
1t is an astonishing thing to
those who have. memories more
than six months long to look on
at this park boards latest drum
major flourish about the mag
nificent seven7mile graveled drive
way" they have built around
Point Defiance park. If the pa
pers that published this me and
John Killed the Bear" story had
consulted their own files, they
would have found, in issues of
July, 1907. more than a year be-
fore this board came in, articles
from; the park superintendent, in
which he refers to the roadway
that takes the visitors seven miles
through grand woodland park"
1t was Mr.. Roberts, under Mr.
George Browne, former park COM
missioner, and not this board, who
made that road. These men have
simply cleared out the weeds and
rolled the surface; they have done
no grading, no tree-cutting to wild
en- the road, and all the gravel
there is used in mending small
holes. Is that what is under
stood by road-making? Mr.. Rob-
srts and one sickly boy cleared 1t
out one year in the same way, but
he had no money to keep it clear,
never dreaming of making money
off the labor to do so.
Now, the most expensive thing
4 park can have is cleared drive
ways. With all this boards bragg
ging, that gravel driveway is
nothing but a common dirt road.
1t will not hold water. in the
rainy season. 1t will be dusty In
summer and muddy in winter,
since clearing the grass away.
Formerly 1t was q restful, calming
retreat for the seeker after soli-
tude. Now it is a glaring automo-
bile track, and parents can no
longer feel safe to picnic near it
with their children.
The parks are for the Ieople,
the many, not the privileged few.
Flower planting has been neglect
ed shamefully where the many go,
and all the money put on road
ways for the few. Besides, it is
an unnecessary expense at this
time, when roads to the park are
torn up and impossible, and by
next season the weeds will be up
again. AS a recommendation Of
themselves as wise spenders of the
taxpayers money. this road is
about the worst the park board
could have selected. Their charge

.LOOPHOlES
IN NEW
LAW?
Attorneys Declare Re.
viSed Criminal Code
Has Lifted Bars
on Crimes

Lawyers over the state are be-
ing agitated by reports that the
new code has let down the bars
to lot of crimes that heretofore
have been prohibited by statute.
Issuing bad checks, obtaining
money under false pretenses and
other common crimes are said to
be no longer classed as crimes in
, the state, owing to the oversight
of legislators who framed the new
criminal code.
The code also is said to have
thrown the territory outside of in
corporated cities all open to sa-
looms with free rein to open up
where they please without secur-
ing license from the county COM
missioners or anybody else.
1t is asserted by some lawyers
that the statute which gives the
county commissioners authority to
deny licenses or to issue them to
saloons outside the Incorporated
towns was expressly repealed and
then the legislature forgot to put
anything in its place, or else some
friendly saloon legislator slipped
in joker.
Judge Stiles, city attorney, said
he had not looked the matter up.
81 know they repealed a good
many things, and they enacted a
good many more, but just what all
the provisions are l have not yet
found out. l thought they had re-
pealed the law against murder
at first. but / discovered they
hadn't"
Assistant City Attorney Baker
says he thinks the scare over the
criminal code letting down the
bars to lawbreakers is unwar-
ranted.
Il find nothing in the code in
dex indicating that the general
statute covering the licensing and
the sale Of intoxicating liquors Is
changed in the manner alleged,
and on these other things think
there is no cause for alarm" said
Mr.. Baker.
The new code expressly makes
forgery and the issuing of any
forged paper, with intent to de-
fraud, a crime and the fraud sec
tions of the statute are thought to
cover false pretense and other al
lied crimes.
According to the city attorneys,
1t would be wise for any who may
have contemplated shady transac-
tions to keep in the straight and
narrow path, and not bank much
on getting off owing to loopholes
in the criminal code.
