II there is any one thing that would
make the recall unpopular it is the
manner in which 1t is being applied in
Seattle. The weakness of the system
Is largely in the small percentage of
the voters required on a petition to
set the wheels of recall in motion. II
gives a small minority the power to
keep community in constant tur-
MOL, for 1t is very easy to create OPP
position to officials in office, and much
easier to secure signers to almost any
kind of petition. Unless a public Of
ficer has committed some grave Of
ense. or proved himself to be grossly
incompetent, the recall should not be
evoked. So long as the law is as it
Is 1t can be expected that the recall
