and automobile rates. tIn eXplana-
ton, the 500 raise on a fare of
S1,00 meant an increased fare of
81, 30, the rise of an. additional
300 over the fare which had al
ready been increased now became
total raise of So, or a new fare
of $1,69D
The state Versus the Ferry
Company
There was something the State
could do about the demand for an
additional fare increase. Follow
ing the law which clearly directs
the procedure of the Department
of Transportation, an investigation
was begun by expert accountants
of every phase of the Puget Sound
Navigation Company's ferry opera
ton to establish the necessity of
such a sharp raise in rates. The
Transportation Department al
lowed the increase temporarily,
upon the Company's posting of a
bond to insure refunds to ferry
users if investigation showed the
increase unjustifiable.
interestingly enough, although
the Company did increase rates
30, on its international run to
Victoria on February Is. 1913, it
did not raise these fares an add
tional 800 as it did fares on the
Puget Sound routes. On the Vic
toria route it completes with the
boats of the Canadian Pacific
Railways. Only on intra-state
routes did the ferry company en-
JOY a state protected monopoly in
return for state regulatory con-
troll. Interesting. too, is the fact
that no other medium of transpor-
tation has attempted such radical
fare increases or publicly con-
tcmplated such action.

Just in its treatment of the ferry
company. The court affirmed the
Departments order which requir-
ed the Company toreduce its rates
and to refund all overcharges to
the ferry users.
The Lease Hid a Joker
Instead of complying with the
Court Order, the ferry company
threatened to stop service. 1t de-
manded Of Governor Wallgren
that the State lease the ferries for
one year. This the Governor re-
fused To do. there being neither
funds nor authority for the Gov

The Battle Of the Experts


The cruX of the ferry dispute
which flared into newspaper head
lines was not the correctness of
the facts unearthed by transporta-
ton accountants on the Puget
Sound Navigation Company ferry
operation. The exhaustive Depart
ment Of Transportation report,
three and a half months in the
making, was indisputably correct.
The battle developed over the
meaning of the facts.
Public hearings were held by
Paul Revelle, Director of the De
partment of Transportation. The
Puget Sound Navigation Company
was given unlimited opportunity
to present its. case for higher
fares.
The ferry company demanded
the sharp raise to save itself from
a claimed impending bankruptcy.

There are two days in every week
about which we should not worry
two days which should be kept free

On of these days is Yesterday

promise and poor performance. To-
morrow also is beyond our immediate

 In one afternoon, I saw half the population of Pachni, a mile from Bulgaria, flee to Glavki, a village four miles deeper within Greece, because Greek rebels demanded a ton of corn.
 Taking advantage of the rebels daylight absence. the villagers trekked off with wives. children and winter food reserves. since at Glavki they could be protected by an outpost of 90 RoYalist troops.
 Glavki was quiet. Soldiers dozel at lookout stations while young, bare-bottomed Pomaks begged share of their American rationS. Old women trudged in with huge bundles of firewood on their stopped backs. Tobacco was hung out to dry on racks beside sagging stone-and-timber houses.

YOU add the not incOnsiderable
skill of your prOpagandists and
the vast circulation of your maya
zine to those in and out of the

feverishly to annul the UN decision

You have managed to throw into
that editorial all the shibboleths
that have always been the stock
in-trade of those who oppose any
Jewish development of Palestine,
LET alone the establishment of
Jewish State. You declare that
the partition decision has very few
real friends and that even the
Zionists are lukewarm about it.
You insinuate the fear that the
present situation is going to pro-
vide the Soviet Union with the
opportunity for moving in on the
Middle East. You have disarn1-
ingly simple analysis of the whole
problem. On the one hand, Ibn
Saud's oil is vital to our military
strength and the Marshall Plan;
American interests therefore die
tate that we do nothing to dis
please him. On the other, all pres

Truman, are afraid of the Zionists
and the "Jewish vote" But, as
you correctly point out, there is
no such thing as Jewish vote"
