PULLED" FOR SPEEDING
Nine Auto Owners Pay Fines for Drfv-

Nine Auto Owners Pay Fines for Driv-
ing Over AZ Miles m Hour.
Nine auto owners Of Olympia, among
them Judge Emmett N. Parker OF the
state supreme court, charged with ex.
ceeding the city's speed limits, were ar
raigned before Police Judge Milton
Giles Tuesday afternoon and fined IS
and costs. totalling $3.50. as the result
of stop-watch tests taken last Saturday
by Special Oficer Charles Taliferro.
Judge Parker and some Of the other
owners were not driving their ma.
chimes at the time but as owners were
hailed before the justice on the specific
charge Of driving faster than IL miles
an hour. Those arrested were: Louis
Dornecker, Daily Bread delivery auto,
not driving his own car; John Dodge:
y. G. Bolster. three-wheeled motorcy-

stem, $40 North 9th street. Seattle; DIR.
J. B. Badly, Provident building, Ia
coma; and Flying Merkel, OF which
no number or name was gotten. The
out of town offenders were not sent for.
The arrests have naturally aroused
much objection among autoists because
they say it is impossible for driver to
make" the East Fourth street or
South Main street hills when the ap-
proach Is made at low speed. None OF
them objects to the enforcement of
the law in the business section of the
city, declaring it to be a necessity
there.
Consequently the proposal to make
Nineteenth street, the end of the Main
street paving. the terminus north of
which autos must not be driven faster
than II miles an hour, has not met
with approval but has been declared to
be ridiculous. The autOists believe the
12mile-an-hour limit should be en-
forced as far south as Eighth street OH
Main and east as far as Adams on
Fourth, and insist that the amount of
traffic on the remaining distance does
not warrant the application of the
limit there.

SOME PRESS COMMENTS
Continued from page ~
Sarcasm Running Riot.
(Tacona New Herald.)

The Progressive Democrat is re-
sponsible for bringing James H. Dege
into the limelight, by naming him as
its candidate for the United States
senate, when opportunity is accorded
for once more expressing a choice for
membership in the upper house. One
can hardly refrain from admiration of
the nerve that would suggest the pos
sibility of electing a Democratic SEN
ator from Washington, or elsewhere.
after giving that party two years of
opportunity to do the things which it
desires to do, hut that does not alter
the fact that Jimmy Dege could give
those solons at Washington something
to think about in the artistic and spon-
taneous employment of the "glad
hand"

is running counter to the wishes of the
powers that be-" in many cases.
He is busy man, with listening to
arguments as to why he should or
should not sign certain bills, and study.

If Lister keeps on the track he has
started, he will be the logical candidate
for the senate to succeed Jones, he is
the only man with Democratic pro-

would have to go some. 1t may be
that his acts in the future will make

I'm 1895 the Bell patent expired.
Before that time the Bell Company
had monopoly. After 1895 several
Independent companies were started
Competition was keen and the people
got better service at cheaper rates.
Then the Bell Company started grab

Independent companies in Philadel-
phia, Buffalo, Kansas City, Omaha
and other large cities. Competition
is the only safeguard of the public.
You can see the effect of it in the
war between the Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph companies.
"They are constantly improving
service and undertaking each other
in the race for business. For instance,
the Western Union starts the night
letter and the Postal Telegraph
comes through with the lettergram.
And so on.
"And the same conditions could be
true in telephone service on a COM
getitive basis. In some places where
there are two systems you can get
both for the same price that one
formerly cost.
Recently the city granted the
telephone company a new contract
for five years. Even supposing the
rates in that contract are fair, that's
no argument against competition.
It's the future we have got to look to.
But here in Chicago we're not only
up against the desire of the telephone
company to control rates, we are also
up against the desire of few men to
steal the tunnel and eventually con-
troll the subway system"
