SOCIALISTS HELP NAME
COTTERILL FOR MAYOR

Seattle, Wash, March THAT so
cialist votes figured largely in the cleo
ton of George F. Cotterill as mayor
of Seattle is shown by q study of the
returns. The socialist candidate for
mayor was eliminated in the primaries
and leaders of the party exhorted their
followers to vote for no candidate for
mayor. However, the socialist strong
holds rolled up maJorities for CotterilI,
who was elected by 665 votes over Hi
ram c. Gill, open town" candidate.
Although the socialists elected none
of their four candidates on the ticket,
they pOlled large vote, ranging from
1882 for c. ]. Jacobs, candidate for
councilman, to 24,341 for E. J. Brown.
candidate for corporation council The
socialist vote last year was 1850.
Mayor-elect Cotterill is single tax
advocate, but he did not discuss the
theory in his campaign, and will have
no opportunity as mayor to further the
progress of the single tax. The single
campaigners never had hope of the
adoption of the single tax amendment
to the city charter, which was over
whelmingly beaten.
The defeat of Gill, who was recalled
| from office as mayor a year ago for al
I legged misconduct in Office, is said TO
have been brought about by the fenin-
inc vote.
| The women voters organized and
carried on an energetic campaign
against him. One of their number was
assigned to each city square TO aid In
getting out the Cotterlll vote.
The proposition authorizing the mu-
nicipal telephone system was carried.
but the municipal newspaper project
was defeated.
Mr.. Cotterill, whose strength as a
candidate lay in his long record as an
advocate of municipal ownership, is
| pledged to build the municipal street
railway, for which bonds were voted
last year.
Plans for civic center and "city
beautiful were rejected because OF
the great expense involved. All oi
the bond propositions were ratified, liz.
cluding those of construction of har.
Dor terminals.

JUDGE IN
OP |NION
ON TOPIC

Judge Johannes Kopelke today made
a statement regarding the action of the
supreme court of the state in reversing
his decision in the Gary saloon man
aamus cases
There are great social questions in
voIved outside OF the legal phases OF
the matter" said the judge. and
doubtless the supreme court had these
In mind
often times the supper courts de-
eide these matters largely a matter
of public policy and ignore the techni-
cal or the strictly legal aspects of a
ease
4 had in mind the principle that all
legislation must be uniform. The con-
stitution of the state will not permit
Of the enactment of class legislation.
Under the Proctor law the city OF
Fort Wayne might fix the license at
1900. the city of Evansville a $500. the
city OF East Chicago at $400, the city OF
Gary at $500 and city OF Grown Point
at 900
Now it appeared that this discrimin-
alton was in violation of this consti-
tutfonal requirement that all laws
should be uniform. OF course. the
amount of the license is optional with
the people of a community as hXed by
the common council and the court prob
ably took the view that so long as each
community had the option to make the
license as low as $500 that the act could
not be construed as class legislation"
A great deal Of speculation is rife as
to the effect OF the supreme court s
decision. In a great many cases the
balance of the license fee was put in
escrow in the banks pending the SUI
preme courts decision. In other cases
it will be necessary for the city TO
take some action to recover the addi-
tional 5000 which the lower court re-
fused to compel the saloonkeepers to
pay over TO the city clerk.
There are 1873 saloons in Gary that are
affected by the decision and the rev.
enues OF the city viii be greatly in
creased as a result.
