Right Wing Heads Wrong Way

Those who recall other instances when particular
group faction has sought to dominate the Washington
legislature finding much satisfaction in the boosted
control of the 1889 session by right wing composed of
conservatives elected Democrats and the Republican
minority Least of all do they any for rejoicing
in the fact that the fright wing has been able to establish
procedure which requires two-thrds to take bill
from the rules committee This that the rules
mtee and the influences which dominate it. they
desire prevent majority of the members of the legislature
from voting any particular measure.
The theory that the twohirds rule is safeguard that
will keep frivolous and needless from cuterng the
Legislative calendar II but it also works the other way,
and will enable minority to withhold which
the majority desires vote 1t abrogates entirely certain
the right of the majority To particular
measure and gives control to the minority
just such attempt to control legislation that
started the first revolt the state legislature 80
The Legislature dominated by certain so-caled

It had become fact that impossible to get certain
before the legislature without the approval of
of these groups
The fight not in that session but movement
started which resulted the election two years later
of majority of what then called insurgents" They
asked for and quarter and threw the procedure of
the rings into the ash We went from extreme
to the other And that very likely to be the effect of the
procedure of the element which seeks to control the

the right wing can claim all the glory.
No matter what the motives of the right wing may be,
the situation at Olympia is anything but healthy.

Has he ever ridden in Seattle,
Spokane, Portland, San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Chicago or
New York? I'm positive he
hasn't or he'd be praising in
stead of constantly knocking
our fine city.
When we lived in San Fran
cisco, the municipal line was
always a big money loser and
the private line was always los
ing money. The cars were old,
unheated. uncomfortable heaps.
and were crowded beyond the
endurance point. In fact, they
even let people ride on the cow
catchers through the tunnels
and the condition on the cables
was very dangerous. They have
now raised the fares in San
Francisco and still lose money.
In Portland, one has to walk
six blocks to transfer in many
downtown points.
II there is such a great profit
in providing public transporta-
ton, why doesn't Mayor Siegle
reduce fares on the city belt
line This is a level short run.
When it comes to poor. crowded,
infrequent. discourteous bus SER
vice, the tideflats set-up takes
the prize. Yes, I'm dinner-pail

Instead of always knocking,
let's tell the world Tacoma is
progressive. modern, great
place to live. The mayor might
spend his misdirected energy on
getting some new industries. so
more families can enjoy this
beautiful city. He might work
for a much-needed city audi

A BOOK A DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

Fantastic is the maze of leg
end and fact woven about the
Barretts of Wimpole street down
through the years. The picture
of the domineering father is par
ticularly well fixed But the
story of the famous English fam
lily has been confined heretofore
almost entirely to the British
period of its history.
Now comes an exhaustive
study of the clan. based in great
measure on the Jamaican back
ground of the house. THE Fam
lily of the Barrett" by Jeanette
Marks Macmillan: So. To read
it is to throw a new perspective
on the lives of Eliza beth Barrett
and Robert Browning.
For both traced their ancestors
to baronial Jamaica; Elizabeth's
were wealthy slave owners and
BroWnings great-great GRANDPA
ther, Edward little, was shoe
maker in Port Royal. 1t is to
the Barretts of course, that Miss
Marks devotes most of her story.
They were thoroughly intro
verts, building up their own fam
lily fortunes, intermarrying to ex-
tend and preserve their wealth.
drawing sort of social wall
about themselves. BY the time
Edward Moulton Barrett was
born, Elizabeth's father, the fam
lily virtually ruled Jamaica. Ed
ward was sent to England to live.
He became the family's most
famous son, mostly because he
was Elizabeth's father. But Ed
ward Barrett's tyranny as IA
ther was not due to psyche
sexual factors, Miss Marks be-
lieves. Financial reverse, a nat
ural bent for introversion and
religious fanaticism explains
much of the attitude of the
man. In his later years ne was
probably even insane.
In like manner, Miss Marks
carefully examines the other
members of the family, produc-
ing in all a significant, illumi-
mating book.-P. C. F.

SUBURBAN WATER
USERS TO LOSE SERVICE

Editor, The Times: l would
like TO comment on the water
situation south of 96th and Park
ave. Why don't the city dads
publish the facts in the news
papers instead of handbills-
that the water main south to
Falkland and east to the Mil
waukee railroad is being discon-
tinued, leaving the college
(P. L. c. and the Falkland
school and approximately 500
families without water?
We are frankly told that we
will have to get water the best
way we know how, at cost of
500 apiece. Most of us haven't
seen wad like that for a long
time.
I'd say they are ashamed to
put it in print. They even had
the nerve to connect new Gus
toner TO the old main for S35
and about $50 for pipe when
they knew they were going to
discontinue the service in the
middle of this summer.
