MONDAY the city council will meet to organize
lVl Among other things the council will do then is TO
select president, position that carries with it no small
amount Of responsibility besides considerable honor
Seattle has before II number Of problems which must
be solved ntegeny and honestly II is to maintain its

The council will have these problems TO solve The pres
dent Of the council and does deal Of power
largely by his ruling various issues they up for

Seattle just interested in big way in public owner
ship. II has invested millions in public utilities.
Private ownership people fearful Their toes may be

They are losing sleep You can bet on that.
Foes OF law and order also anxious They sometimes
enjoy privileges that mean much TO their prosperity and
bring on hell TO the community.
That's why The Star thinks this is time to select

in the absence of the cys chief with great deal
Of caution.
number Of persons have been suggested Some Of
them are fit; others, think not. The Star would
like suggest Mrs Bertha Landes candidate possess

Mrs Landes has made good counclwoman. She has
stood for the things that right-hinking folks want in

great strength Of character
Mrs Landes is a friend of public ownership She has
proved that to the satisfaction of ALL

tect the cys public utility projects would be highly de-
sirable thing.
The Star believes Mrs andes would represent both ee-
