The Constitution provides that each 10 years, when

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
STREET CARS
AND BUSES

Editor The Times: About 30
years ago when Fern Hill was
annexed 10 the city of Tacoma,
the street car company refused
to recognize the deal, and stop
ping the cars at 64th il demand
ed an extra fare for going on
through Fern Hill 10 seth. But
in the same days the "Old War
rior,' A. V. Fawcett, was the
mayor Of the city, and when he
heard about it and came out
here, saw the cars standing on
the track because the patrons
refused to pay. he asked the men
IL anybody knew how TO run a
street car. Several volunteered.
and he told them to 60 ahead,
and in that way the hitch was
broken and Fern Hin was in
cluded in five-cent fare prevail
ing in the rest of the city.
That story still lives, and is
often recalled when there has
been trouble about the service.
Some time ago We had TO go
10 the state to get better service
for the patrons between saith
and a6th, and we succeeded in
getting the most of the buses
10 run the complete route. We
surely were delighted last week
when the company OF it's own
free will started to run all the
Fern Hill busses 10 e6th, and
the war was ended
We congratulate the bus COM

The answer Is that We may
learn some time but not soon.
We are still clubbing over the
meaning OF the handwriting
that appeared on the wall
5000 years ago. Labor and
capital are still quibbling over
lessons that seemed TO be plain
fifty years ago. Politicians who
by hook or crook obtain seats
in the legislature pull the same
old stuff that Tammyites. very
much smarter than any Of the
politicians at Olympia, found to
be unavoidable except to pro-
duce unhappy results.

have burned our fingers badly
