HIGH PHONE RATES
KNOCKED OUT
DECISION OF COURT REVERSES
ORDERS OF THE PUBLIC
SERVICE COMMISSION

The public service commission was
without jurisdiction to issue order;
approving and making effective telc-
phone rates established by Postmas-
ter General Burleson during the tim.,
the systems were under control of
the federal government under author
ity of war emergency legislation. the
supreme court holds in decision OF
the case brought by the cities of Ia
coma and Seattle to annul orders of
the commission made in February.
1919, which made effective the Burle-
son rates as provided in the tariff
filed by the Pacific Telephone & Tele-
graph Company.
Decisions of the United States su-
preme court in cases form North Da-
kota, South Dakota and Kansas,
made it plain that during the period
OF control of the telephone system by
the postmaster general state commits
sioners had no jurisdiction whatever
over the subject that would enable it
lawfully to make any order approx
ing or making effective any tariff rate
to be charged by such system.
"Of course" the Washington su-
preme court says. "the postmaster
general could avail himself of the
personal service of members of the
commission with a view to determin
ing what rates should be charged
and had the public service commits
sion not assumed to do more than
that there would be no occasion to
revise its orders.
But since the commission has
made those orders. in form. In its off,
cial capacity as the public service
commission, and we have here a
judgment of the superior court OF
Thurston county affirming such order.
which court has jurisdiction to re
view all such orders of the public
service commission, we cannot escape
the conclusion that the cities of Seat
tie and Tacoma have right to have
that judgment reversed and to have
the orders also reversed. 1t may be
that in a sense the controversy has
ceased, but to leave the orders in
effect would work to the prejudice of
the cities in the future.
"The orders of the commission and
their affirmance by the superior court
have the semblance of an adjudica-
tion against the cities as to the rea-
lished."

LOCAL TRADES COUNCIL
ENTERTAIN DELEGATES
OF MINIMUM WAGE CONFERENCE
president WM. SHORT
SPEAKS.

Olympia Trades Council, at it's reg
ular session Wednesday evening. was
host to 16 out-of-town delegates to
the state minimum wage conference:
William Short, president of the State
Federation Of Labor, made an ad-
dress; the local committee to handle
the A. F. of l.. non-partisan political
campaign was appointed. and the
school election was discussed.
The delegates to the minimum
wage conference came from Spokane.
Bremerton, Tacoma and Seattle, and
were representative of the Hotel
Maids, Mattresses. Laundry Workers,
Cooks, Clerks and Central Councils.
President Short spoke OF the wage
conference and of the late Triple
Alliance convention in Seattle.
The local committee on the nom
partisan political campaign of the A.
F. of l.. is made up of P. s. Writer,
Carpenter: Claude Flesher, Typo
graphical union; Otis Kisor, Steam
Engineers; T. H. Ashwell, Sheet
metal Workers, and Fred Hudson,
secretary of the Council. The func-
tion of the committee will be to give
publicity to the legislative records of
public officials, with the object. as
stated BY the A. F. of Io of support
ing our friends and furnishing our
enemies" In this connection a letter
of Senator Jones, replying to q Trades
Council protest against sedition bills
now before congress, was read. Jones
said: Il note. the views of your C0un<
Gil on this matter and assure, you the
same will have my careful attention."
The reading evoked an audible litter.
The discussion Of the school elec-
tion came upon report Of the cam
paign committee which is placing the
candidacy of Fred Hudson before the
people. President Levi of the Seat
tie Cooks and Walters, spoke of a cir
cumstancc which he claimed as a

depended upon to do the right thing.
According to Mr.. Levi, he and his
craft were bitterly opposed to Hudson
some IL or 13 years ago because,
while a member of the executive
committee of the State Federation of
Labor, he had public espoused the
cause of prohibition in Bellingham.
Events. however. had proved that
the position taken by Hudson was
the correct one. The advent of pro-
hibitiOn has proven to be one of the
big things in the welfare of the
workers.
The Trades Council appropriated a
sum of money to help defray the le-
gitimate expenses of the school elec-
tion campaign committee, transacted
some routine business and adjourned
at late hour.

PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS
PREVAILING MALADY HERE
Industrial Development Puts Pep
Into Entire Population of
Capital City.

There was time not many years
ago when it would have been joyful
news to the people of Olympia to
learn that an extra session of the leg
islature had been called. Those were
the days when money or regular en-
ployment were not so plentiful as
at present, and the extra dollars dis
tributed here by the legislators were
sought for as an acceptable source Of
additional income.
In days gone by many people
planned on renting their homes fur
nished. or perhaps spare room or
so. to the members of the legislature,
that the family eXcheQuer might be
replenished. But now it Is different.
Olympia citizens who own homes are
enjoying prosperity to the full extent
and do not feel the need of this extra
money, at least not to the extent of
depriving themselves of home COM
forts. as they must have done when
so many homes were converted into
rOoming houses.
This condition has been brought
about by development of the number
less opportunities for money making
here, and not because the people of
Olympia are getting uppish and do
not appreciate the advantages to this
city of having the state capitol To-
Gated here.
During the past few years the pop
ulation has grown far beyond the
housing capacity, until it has become
a serious problem to provide accom-
modations for the regular inhabi-
tants. AS the population increased.
likewise were more and more houses
built. but the increase in citizens has
been greater than possible construc-
tion of homes for them.
Olympia of today is enjoying a
steady and substantial growth. with
no attempt to initiate realty prices.
for the price asked by any owner who
perchance wants to sell. is far below
what it will cost to build
Not only is this prosperity felt by
those who in former and leaner years
deprived themselves of the comforts
of home that the family finances
might be replenished during legis-
lative session, ii is noticeable in any
store in the city.
A few years ago the average man
in business moved around as though
Old Sol himself would await his good
pleasure. but today it is quite differ
ent That selfsame business man has
changed. Now he acts like man of
affairs: meet him on the street and
he is in hurry to be about his busi
ness.
The people of Olympia, those who
have resided here but few months
and those who have made this city
their home for year II years, even
as far back as the time when the
waters of Puget Sound became blue
and salt. are no different than they
were few years back-they are just
human beings who have become
awakened to the fact that their home
town is growing. that new industries
are being added, and that it behooves
them TO keep abreast of the times
and conditions lest they be left at
the post by competition.
