PETITION FOR
A COMMISSION
Voters Are Asked to Sign Request
for Election to Seattle Method
of Government of This City
DOCUMENT MAY BE FOUND
AT CITY CLERKS OFFICE
Where Those Who Register Will
Be Able to Affix Their Sigma
lures, as Only Duly Qualified
Electors Are Entitled to Sign

A petition, asking for an election
to determine whether North Yakima
will ado. t the commission form OF
government, has been prepared and
will be found at the office of City
Clerk BROKER in the court house.
Voters of the city, as they register,
are asked to give consideration to
the petition and sign it. 1t asks
merely for an election to determine
the question of whether or not the
city shall be governed under the COM
mission plan. If the petition receives
q sufficient number of names the
primary and final elections will be
held thereafter as under the present
system. The time of the election to
vote on the commission question will
be fixed by the mayor by proclama-
ton.
Action by Committee
Action 70 che above effect was ia
ken last night when a meeting was
held by Messrs. John Lynch, Senator
Frank Allen f. A. Luse, J. L.
Hughes, and Wilbur CroclSer, who are
the committee which was named by
the Commercial club to prepare and
further the commission. 1t is neces-
sary, in thu opinion of this commit
tee, that the voters take Immediate
steps to register There are some 5000
people entitled to so register, women
Included, aid to date but 4S0 people
have availea themselves Of the op-
portMnity.
Much Interest in Plan
The names Of % per cent Of the
voters who voted FOR mayor at the
lats election are necessary to make
the petition effective. This means
that it must bear 304 names. as the
vote for mayor at the last election
was 1914. 1t is necessary. also, that
those who aagn the petition must be
legally qualified voters at the time
they sign the petition. Therefore the
value of having that document at the
office Of Cay Clerk BROKER where
the people who have already regis
tered or wNa are to register hereafter
may have n accessible.
There is @ great deal Of interest in
the commission form OF government
at the preseSft time and many people
are looking to 1t to aid in the so,u-
ton Of many problems which ara now
bothering those interested in the pro-
gress and welfare of this community
It would seew that the requisite num-
Der Of names shorid be easily at
tained.

In discussing the effect OF water COM
petition upon rates the commission says
Ihat II cannot fix rate from New
\ orH to San Francisco below which the
RAN line shall not so, for it has no
authority to fix minimum rate There
Is, therefore, no way in which it can
prevent discrimination by the fixing of
an absolute rate at san Francisco and
another absolute rate at Reno. 1t can
only accomplish this purpose by pre-
scrlblng the difference which may
properly exist owing to the effect OF
this competition and allowing the car
rier to make whatever rate 1t sees fit
TO the more distant point so long as it
observes this differentiaL"
The report indicates the desire Of
Shippers from points in the interior Of
the country to obtain the same rates
to the Pacific coast that are accorded
by the railroads to their competitors on
the Atlantic seabOard- The rates are
made the same by the trans cOntinental
lines on the ground of market COMPETE
ton.
How Roads Justify Rates.
To justify their rates from coast to
coast, says the report the railroads
advance water competition, and to jus
tify the same rates from interior points
to Pacific coast points they rely on
market competition, under which they
cities twO-thirds Of the way across the
continent to the same coast cities than
to inter-mOuntain points This is the
kind Of discrimination the commission
has attempted to minimize"
While the commission recognizes the
full effect of water competition upon
the rail rates it says I'VE have the frank
admission of the railroad managers
that they have subsidized or bought
some Of the steamship lines and terror
lied others until they can make the
boast that the effect of the sea has
been neutralized.
"A railroad policy of rate making
must certainly be subject to limitations
Of the law, or else there is no law To
say that there is a long and short haul
section under which a carrier may not
charge more for the shorter than for
the longer haul but that the railroads
may, to any extent they please carry
out a policy of blanketing the country
for the benefit Of the farther points and
not the nearer points, is to say that A
railroad may, without restraint, effect a
ruinOuS discrimination and give no JUS
tificatiOn save its own determination or
Whim. There can be no regulation of
rates as to discrimination or preference
under such an Interpretation of the
law.
DifferenfiaI Is Only Remedy.
The commerce court intimates that
the mistake Of the commission is in
having attempted to fix a relation of
rates instead of establishing reasonab BILE
rates; but as we have already pointed
out there is no way in which the dis

The issue is made principally upon

TAKES ISSUE WITH COMMERCE COURT
ON INTER-M0UNTAIN RATE MATTER

Dreting the long and short haul provi-

commerce commission, directed, by or

established between the Pacific coast
and points Of origin in five zones, into
which the United States was divided

rates to inter-Rocky mountain cities
and prevent the railroads from exacting
from shippers the Pacific coast rate plus
the local rates from Pacific coast ter
