HOWDO You Stand,
Mr.. Candidate?

TO CURB the rent hog, The Star pro-
posed yesterday that the city council
pass an ordinance establishing commission
to which landlords must apply for permission
to raise rents. If the commission should be of
the opinion that the raise asked is justified
and reasonable, it would be allowed. Other
wise, the landlord would have to be content
with his previous rent.
The Star foresaw the usual obstaclc-thc
timidity of lawyers-timidity as to constitu-
tionality. Would such law be constitutions
al? The Star does not know. Most lawyers
do not know-and the courts do not know
until after decision is made. That decision
may be by vote of five judges against four.
Let the city assume that it is constitutional.
Then the courts will have the responsibility
of knocking it out.
We can go even step farther. The fall
election is upon us. The filings close today.
"A legislature is to be chosen. King county
will elect eight new senators and IL members
of the house.
No member of the legislature ought to be
elected who does not pledge himself in writ
ing to vote for bill empowering cities to
pass ordinances with sufficient teeth in them
to and the rent evil.
Here is an issue for the legislative candi-
dates. HOW DO YOU STAND?
