Now. there you have It'll If the holiday atmosphere
weren't 50 hor0 today perhaps we would want ,s to epy
from e rest of the state we have sti to hear of it,
Seattle greater proportion of taxes than its rep
population per representative than elsewhere in the state
Il has paid for bridges and roads, and this and that and
the other thing getting nothing in return except bit of
matters.
We could go on ad nfintun in this line. Really. it is
trouble difficulty at all to against the
legislature far Seattle is concerned The truth may
hurt but is nevertheless true that the smaller counties
the state having large representation in the legislature
than Seattle particular gee in denying rghtfu rep
resentaton and honest legislation. Any attempt to justify
this-whether by calling Seattle snobbs or greedy or
what not-is inherently wrong and immoral
Just how Seattle gets out of the rest OF the state
than gives has always been puzzle to u.s. tho cow
county" legislators have repeated the assertion time md
again.
Rather inclined believe that Seattle has given
and given geneousyto the state at large II has given
merchants of the smaller towns the benefit of its greater
port and terminal facilities 1t has given better train and
than they would otherwise have had. IL
has given them better market for line of product
&c. the general question not apt TO take the
Everett Tribune seriously, however much wrought up II
appears to be- Nor is there occasion for getting
csed "Seattes lack Of craftsmanship for its triple
rveed cinch that Seattle won't fit into that classification
however eager Of the smaller may want to fix
that brand If memory right the Seattle schools
used to lick the outsiders rather regularly for good many
years. We do not mention this in boastfu way however
Later when Seattle had five six high schools of its
own the school board decided that it would be better for
the scholastic training of the well it would be
healthier for the pubcs purse to have the Seattle schools
play another instead of fitting all the state We
shall not say that this wise unwise We
rather inclined to like the idea of games with outside
towns However the present policy not adopted out of
any fear or because of poor craftsmanship"
Now that the question raised would suggest if
asked that the winner of the city championship play
the state championship And Seattle will begrdge
any other part of the state. Not il know Seattle
rightly-and we think we do.
