MOVE TO
KILL JITS
By Edgar G. Wheeler

OLYMPIA, Jan. 1S.-A brand
new jitney bill, with an emerg-
ency clause attached, has been
prepared by the senate public util-
tiles committee, of which Senator
Jones is chairman, to be introduce
ed as a committee bill.
The bill puts all vehicles except
taxicabs under the supervision of
the public service commission.
1t puts each individual iitney-
man in the class of corporation,
and would regulate routes and
schedules.
r. T. Whiting, representing the
Automobile Drivers union, who
is here today, says it will be i'm
possible for jitneys to run under
such law. Stone-Webster inter
ests, he asserts, have been anx-
ious to get 1t through the legisla-
ture.

fight on the bill was led by Roth
of Whatcom, who wanted to know
what reason there was for calling

cost 100000, wouldn't do any
good, and would fail to pass, as
did the constitution drawn by the
New York convention.
He also declared special inter.

Sir, the fact of the matter is
that the "rubes" live in the cities
