Tacoma's interests particularly
were involved in the fight, which
was focused on the complaint
brought by the Tcoma Railway &
Power Co. asking the public serv.
ice commission for relief from
such franchise obligations as the
paving of streets, contributing to
bridge building, paying a two per
cent gross income tax, and issu-
ing passes to city officials.
The interests of half the popu-
lation of the state are indirectly
concerned in the outcome.
Other Cities Join.
Seattle, Spokane, Bellingham
and Everett all Joined in oppos-
ing the railway company's plea
and were represented at the front
by their city attorneys.
City Attorney U. e. Harmon
appeared for Tacoma, assisted by
Frank M. Carnahan. Seattle was
represented by Corporation Coun-
sci Hugh M. Caldwell and his as
sistant, Walter F. Meier.
This was the first time this
question has been brought up,
though previous decisions have
taken from the cities the right to
fix rates.
The legal battle was on when
City Attorney Harmon made a
motion to have the complaint dis
missed on the ground that the
public service commission, on tho
face of it, had no jurisdiction to
consider the T. r. G. P.'s applica-
ton.
Doesn't Even Imply 1t.
For the cities, Harmon end
Caldwell holly contested the T. r.
& P.'s claim that the public serv-
ice commission law of 1911, which
has shorn the cities of big part
of their power, granted the relief
from the franchise obligations
asked for.

Harry VI. Smith announced
Monday, he will ask the Grim

Despite Remains promises dur
ing the last campaign that he
would do everything in his power
to aid the police in their crusade
against crime in Tacoma. Smith
says that the prosecuting attor-
ney's office is continuing to show
marked apathy towards police
cases.
The city officers make raids of

said Chief Smith.
Il will simply ask Mr.. Remain
for the last time whether lie in

whom the police bring before him,
or whether he intends to continue
ignoring them.
IF he does not make a definite
promise to assist the police to
break UP the booze rings and
gambling games in Tacoma, and
show at once by prompt action
that he is sincere, shall go before
the court and ask for the appoint
ment of special prosecutor.

Cites Gambling Case.
Chief Smith told, as an in
stance, of the recent raid of a big
gambling game on Broadway.
After weeks of effort, police
squad obtained evidence on the
game. The gambler mad his
clients were arrested. They for
feited bail in police court.
A new charge, based on state
law, was filed against the proprie-
tor. The gamblers attorney
went at once to the court house,
according to Chief Smith, and de-
posted $50 cash bail with the
prosecuting attorneys office, al
though the gambler had not yet
been re-arrested on the new
charge.
The bail is still I'm that office.
Smith says, and so far as can be
learned, the gambler has not yet
been arrested. The warrant was
issued more than a week ago.
Two physicians who were ar
rested some time ago by the po-
lice charged with giving phoney
booze prescriptions, nave never
been prosecuted, although all the
information has been in Remains
hands for some time.
The police formed an alliance
Monday with Sheriff Longmire,
by which one of the sheriff's reg
ular deputies will work constant
ly with the police dry squad. The
presence of this deputy will per-
NIT the police squad to work out

IF that office doesn't correct

GOOD FORTUNE FOR
HUDSON BUYERS

Even when other cars sold at 5000 to $500 less,
Super-Six sales exceeded those of any two makes
in the $1,000 to S14OO class. Now that there'is no
such difference in price you realize how much
greater will be the demand for Hudsons The
present supply won't last long. Then Hudson too
must cost more.
There can be preference now that former
cheaper cars cost as much as the Super-Slx
Super-Six endurance makes it the preferred
among fine cars. In every revealing test it has
proved endurance unequaled by any other car.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-22

Former $1,000 and S14OO cars now cost about as
much as Hudson Super-SiX.
No changes warrant such increase. They
are practically the same as the which recently
sold at $500 to $500 less than the Hudson Super
Six.
Cars in the $4,000 class and up have increased
from $3.50 to $500. That removes them further
from the Hudson Super-SiX price.
Increased cost of material is responsible for the
higher prices.
Hudson prices have not increased this year. Our
materials were contracted for months ago. When
present supplies are exhausted then Hudsons, too,
must cost more. Until then Hudson because OF
its value, is the lowest priced on the market.
Here is an indication of how prices have been
affected. Consider just one item
The principal material in fine automobile is
steel. All steel is made from iron
For 25 years before the Great War the average
price of iron was few cents over SIG a ton In
December last it was $50 ton. 1t now is S54
ton.
Makers who bought materials this year must
get more for their than for those built of ma
terials bought last year.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-22

No owner has yet discovered the real limits of
Super-Six endurance and almost 10000 Super
Skies are in daily service.
Endurance is the most wanted quality of a mo-
tor car. A car should not wear out soon. 1t
should not require frequent mechanical attention.
That Hudson has proved.

cate that its endurance had been reached.
But these tests greater than any other car ever
made, were not enough to reveal the limits OF
Hudson endurance. Then special racing cars
were built that they might compete on the speed.
way with the worlds fastest, most carefully bult
automobiles The same principle that accounts
for Hudson endurance in the stock cars is included
in these.
The American Speedway record for 200 miles
was established by one of them at an average
speed of 104 miles an hour.
That speed for that distance calls for endur-
ance beyond that which ordinarily is needed in
lifetimes requirements. These are proofs of Hud-
son endurance. They indicate the service you may
expect from Hudson Super-Six If such tests
mean nothing to you because of their extremes
then think what the service to almost 4O,OOO
users means. There be greater assurance
than that.
There is no advantage in buying another
car not the apparent saving in the first cost

But the number of Super-Sixes that can be built
from last years material purchases is limited. If
you are get your at the present price must
be from that number. You must decide soon.
