SHAKE-UP is COMING
IN u. S. MARINE CORPS
Officers Holding Jobs Too Long in One
Place Is Blamed for Present
Troubles.

| WASHINGTON, July lS.-That the
marine corps faces certain reorganiZs
! tlon as the result OF the decision by a
court OF inquiry that spirit OF insuD-
ordination reigns throughout-the serv'
ice seems TO be the prevailing opinion
OF naval officers on duty at the depart
ment. The serious condition OF the
service was held to be due primarily
TO too long terms OF service or officers
without changes OF assignment. The
question OF reorganization probably
will be considered this week.
Radical changes may be made, The
reforming OF the entire system of as
signment would not surprise those
who have been following the course
OF events The object OF this reform
would be to give the stan assignments
i'm Washington a limited tenure of Of
fee. In the past they have been prac'
tically permanent. *
The records Of the officers concern
ed in the recent inquiry show thar

Francis Lester Moran, 20, of Detroit

leg broken.
Moran was a freshman engineer al

his leisure moments he was wont "a

Students who were canoeing near
the crossing say they heard several
blasts of the engines whistle, and

The Foss boomers propose TO have
him nominated for governor OF Massa-

.ity is illegally defending, and Mr.
Wade viii be found to have "made
GOOD in very fair degree.
The Herald holds no brief to de
tend Mr.. Wade, with whom it has
nothing political in commnn, but it
believes in square deal, and is firm
ly convinced that vicious attacks be-
made upon public official who en-
deavors conscientiously to do his
duty should be repulsed by every
right thinking man. If this paper
can be shown an instance of neglect
of duty, or pandering his office on
the part of Mr.. Wade, it will be as
quick to expose him, as to defend
attacks that can only be traced TO
the dive and brothel.

ment would be redundant.

Tho next charge is that Mr.. Wade
was responsible fer fee of 500 paid
Attorney J. b. Bridges for an opin-
ion in the tidehat case. This is
Just as false and misleading as the
others. The facts are that Wade
drew q resolution, by direction Of
the council, for this fill, and, vcry
largo sum being involved, the couA-
Gil wanted an opinion on the validity
of the resolution, and engaged MI.
Bridges, who reported it back as all
right without making any changes.
This action by the council was caus-
ed by the useless expense entailed
by the adoption of a resolution and
passage Of Ordinance 663, prepared
by Mr.. Hogan, under which a lot of
engineering was done and appraise
ments made that were useless, all of
which cost the city money.
Another moan is emitted by the
Post over the $500 paid w. w. Boner
for compiling the city code, which,
that paper falsely says, was a part
of the city attorneys duties. If the
position of the Post was correct, the
city council would be indicted for
the illegal expenditure of the $500
and Mr.. Wade's bondsmen would be
liable for the sum. The position is
rediculOus-and the Post knows 1t.
1t is no more the duty of the city
attorney to compile the code than
it is to print it, The former COM
pilation was made by city attorney,
but was done as extra work and paid
for as such, the larger part Of the
labor being for stenographer.
In its first attack, the Post, in
charging Mr.. Wade with incompe-
tency, said he had to have assistance
in the Lytle water case, which was
absolutely without the shadow of
truth. Mr.. Wade fought that case,
which was hotly contested, alone and
won it. In that case the city gave
Il bond for $500 and was not out
a dollar in defending the purity of
the city's water supply. Compare
this case with the Dabney case, in
which suit on the bond for damages
against the city is still pending, as
is the case against Hits, which the

SALOON LICENSE FEE
NOT. LIMITED
Attorney General Holds That Cities
May Raise License Fee High
AS They Wish

OLYMPIA, Feb. lin an opin-
ion given to Thomas Stevenson, pro-
scouting attorney at Port Orchard,
Kitsay county, Attorney General Bell
holds that cities of the third class
are not limited to $1,000 in fixing
the license for saloons. The supreme
court held in the case of Seattle
versus Clark, % Washington, page
TT, that the section of Ballinger's
code limiting the licensing of saloons
at a fee of from $500 to $1,000 was
repealed by later law. This ap-
plies to all cities and towns from the
first to the fourth class, so Port Or
chard will be able to boost it's fee
from $1,000 to $4,000 if it wishes.
The law in question gives to the
cities the power to license for pur-
poses of regulation and revenue all
and every kind of business, includ-
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors
This opinion is a far reaching one at
this time for the reason that the To-
cal option question is to the fore and
communities that do not want to go
dry are anxious TO regulate the sa-
looms and cut down the large number
of them, in many instances putting
up the license fee to such a figure
that only few can operate and those
that do have licenses will be careful
to obey the law. The city councils
now have full power in such matters.
