Critieises Decision
Both the jitney bus and the Ren.

Judge Fullerton. who wrote the
only dissenting opinion.
He says that since the court has
taken upon itself to decide when
an emergency exists and when IL
does not. the real facts should be
ascertained. AS 10 the jItncy bus

Did You Ever Hear the Story
About the Careless Oyster? !?

THE supreme court of Washington. by find
ing that the Renick bill and the tney bill
are "emergency" measures and therefore not
subject to the referendum, has taken from the
people Of this state the right Of sef-sovern-
ment.
If the judges, by their sophistries read
into legislative measure public emergency

the Reniek bill and the jsney bill, and debar

The emergency clauses

tanned.
The court also fecFxred that tfs

Dreadful Danger From Sewers
Public interest was centered or

In the decisions handed down TO

In that case the court held thai
