URGE EXAMPLE OF
SELF-DETERM|NAT|0N

That friends of Irish independence
In the American Congress could make
more effective impression on Great
Britain by granting Philippine indie
pendence than by merely expressing
sympathy with Irish aspirations is the
suggestion contained In statement Is
sued by the Philippine Press Bureau
Of Washington, ID. G.
"Twice in a period of nine months"
reads the statement, ''the United States
Senate went on record as being in sym
pathy with the aspirations of the Irish
people for government Of their own
choice
"Still another way for the friends OF
Irish independence In the American
Congress to make an impressive argu-
ment would be to grant the independ-
ence that the 10,500,O0O inhabitants of
the Philippines have repeatedly de.
handed. Americas own representa-.
t.ves in the islands have officially re.
ported they are ready for Independence
and have recommended that such indie.
pendence be granted.
I'VE submit that the granting Of
Philippine independence would be like.
ly to be accepted by Great Britain as
even stronger proof OF Americas be.
lief In self-detcrmlGation than the pas.
sage Of the Irish resolutions, because
Great Britnin'S councillors of state
could not then successfully make the
point that the American Congress is
asking Great Britain to do something
the United States itself has been asked
to do and has not done.
''The Filipino people have confidence
In the word OF America and hope that
now that the Senate has reiterated lis
sympathy with the principle Of self.
determination It will give Great Brit.
ain and the other powers Of the world
a concrete example Of consistency and
good faith by granting Philippine in.
dependence."

7-CENT FARE
ORDINANCE TO
BE INTRODUCED

That be will Introduce in the city
council next Monday an ordinances
providing for 7-cent fare on Seattle
street cars. with 1-cent charge for
transfers. Is the latest announccment
by Councilman r. H. Thomson
Street car finances were discussed
and possibilities OF raise in fare
debated at n conference between
members OF the city council and the
city advisory board called by Mayor
Caldwell late "Wednesday.
CALDWELL PROPOSES
A 6-CENT FARE
Whether Thomson's proposed ordi.
nance win have the support of bis
fellow counciimen IS uncertain. The
majority of the council have main
tained. TO date. discreet silence.
"A raise in street car fares Is In
cvitable." Mayor Caldwell announced
Thursday. -The railway system lost
$4,000 during the first four months
OF this year"
The mayor declared that the en-
tire burden OF paying for the lines
should not fan upon the patrons of
the street cars
Everyone In the community
benefits by the street car serv-
ice" he said. "Thc man who
runs q business on Second ave.
or the man who owns the build
ing Is benefited by the railway.
even II he doesn't ride upon It."
That IL is unfair to place the entire
burden upon those who ride on the
cars, was asserted by the mayor.
Hence he declared that he was in
favor OF a scent fare only. the re-
mainder TO be made up from the
general fund.
According to tables presented at
the conference by ID. w. Henderson.
superintendent OF the railways. the
T.cent fare and 1-cent transfer would
provide an increase OF approximately
N,e6s, 200. or 43I4 per cent raise in
revenues.
The present income from scent
fares Is estimated at s4.923.s53: the
income from 7-cent fares would &.
gregate se.ss1.5 $50. The difference is
declared TO be sufficient TO take care
