smooth-tongued lobbyists for the
public service corporations have
gotten in their work, and have thus
far succeeded in lining up the ma
jority OF the commission for fran
chise provisions but little ahead of
what Spokane already has. In some
respects the provisions are not as
good as for instance, in the matter

panies and the public.
Take the question of employing
resident citizen labor. The COM
mittee has ducked on this question,
which is of vital Importance to a
majority of our citizens-the men
who labor for wages.
Take the matter of park control.
The commission has continued the
present system, which removes the
parks from the direct control of the
people and places them under an
Independent body not elected by
the people. This may be all right
when the city has good men for
park commissioners, as we have at
the present time, but we may not
always be so fortunate. The con-
troll of the parks, the same as the
control of the water system,
should form one of the divisions of
