Seattle Wants
Prompt Action
(EDITORIAL)

CTATE courts, elected by the people, will sit in
~ judgment tomorrow in Seattle's telephone rate
mudde.
Seattle knows it will get fair verdict
But what it wants is PROMPT VERDICT.
Corporation Counsel Kennedy contendng that the
old Independent company franchise has not been as
signed as claimed by the company, has started man
damus proceedings to make the company live up to
the provisions of this franchise
If his efforts are successful, Seattle will not share
In the general phone rate increases thruout the state
August /. These increases were allowed when the
federal court sitting at Tacoma the other day. sided
as usual, with the telephone company and enjoined
the state board of public works from interfering with
rate increases pending final hearing of the case
That means that, pending long drawn-out hearings
that will be carried to the highest courts Washington
phone users will have to pay the excess rates. The
company will post bond to Ensure subscribers a re-
turn of the rate should the courts hold against
the increase"
With 10000 changes in phone subscribers annually
it will be impossible to keep track of users over the
two or three years of postponemens and delays that
undoubtedly will be instigated by company lawyers
Who then, will get this extra money? The company
of Counsel
The phone company's game in the hearing tomor-
will be to try to delay the action to have the
court decide that the present action in federal court
supersedes it.
Seattle doesn't want any more delays!
Court continuances have cost them too many dol
lars now
Seattle wants the judge to try the mandamus pro-
ceedings fairly and squarey its merits. And all
that it asks is that the judge GIVE SEATTLE HIS
DECISION AT ONCE!
