Such is the plan of Chicago, now being promoted and developed by the Chicago Plan Commission, backed by a harmonious city administration. As in nearly all American cities, Chicago is hampered in carrying out its plan by legal limitations. American municipal corporations should enjoy the legal latitude of the city of London in the matter of excess condemnation power, a good example of which is afforded in that city in the improvement of King's Highway. This thoroughfare is located in the heart of the city; the gross cost for its improvement for a distance of less than a mile was $24,000,000; the net cost less than $4,000,000, the great saving involved being due to the city's power to condemn property in excess of the needs for the improvement, and to resell abutting property at appreciated values after the improvement is made. The city of Chicago is engaged at present on two street widening cases where, if it had excess condemnation power, these improvements could be made without costing the city a single cent. The constitutional excess condemnation amendment of the state of New York, voted upon by the people at the November election, exactly provides the precedent for the enactment of necessary legislation for every other state in the Union. Again, the city of Chicago is hampered in broadly making public improvements by the city's bonding power, which is limited to 5 per cent of its assessed valuation.

It is also to be borne in mind that by some slight changes in the method of fixing the assessed valuation of property, which is now arbitrarily defined as one-fifth of the full valuation, the legislature could largely increase the borrowing power of all the taxing bodies.

Upon that view, bonds running for a longer period might be thought reasonable. The present constitutional limit of twenty years, however, is absolute, and an amendment to the Constitution would be required to enable any municipality to issue bonds for a longer term. In the opinion of the best legal minds, to give the city a free hand in controlling the environs of a public place, the authorities should be invested with power to acquire the actual title, and then to dispose of it subject to such restrictions as might be deemed expedient.

It by no means follows, however, that a state agency, exercising the power of eminent domain, is always forbidden to derive profit from the sale of property not found to be actually needed.

CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION. By Walter D. Moody. American cities today stand at the thresh- old of the science of city building, awaiting a citizenship to seize upon opportunity that will give the nation the mastery of the world’s commerce, art, and science. The time for molding the destinies of American cities has arrived, All the elements of na- ture and all the agencies of civilization are vying with each other in suggesting progress in citizen making and city building. Be- cause it affects millions now unborn, the greatest issue confronting any large and growing community today is a scientific plan to direct the growth of the city in an order- ly way. Such is the plan of Chicago, now being promoted and deyeloped by the Chi- cago Plan Commission, backed by a harmoni- ous city administration. As in nearly all American cities, Chicago is hampered in carrying out its plan by legal limitations. American municipal corporations should en- joy the legal latitude of the city of London in the matter of excess condemnation power, a good example of which is afforded in that city in the improvement of King’s Highway. This thoroughfare is located in the heart of the city; the gross cost for its improvement for a distance of less than a mile was $24,- 000,000; the net cost less than $4,000,000, the great saving involved being due to the city’s power to condemn property in excess of the needs for the improvement, and to resell abutting property at appreciated values after the improvement is made. The city of Chicago is engaged at present on two street widening cases where, if it had excess condemnation power, these improve- ments could be made without costing the city a single cent. The constitutional excess condemnation amendment of the state of New York, voted upon by the people at the November elec- tion, exactly provides the precedent for the enactment of necessary legislation for every other state in the Union, Again, the city of Chicago is hampered in broadly making pub- lic improvements by the city’s bonding pow- er, which is limited to 5 per cent of its as- sessed valuation. ‘he legislature could au- thorize a higher annual tax, but could not, under the Constitution, increase the limit of indebtedness, unless by means of some change in the method of assessing property on which the limitation was to be computed.

Blaine, one of the most business-like members of the Seattle City Council, will have to fight a recall unless his attorneys are able to head it off in the courts. Mr. Blaine has done nothing for which he should be recalled, save give the city a clean-cut economical, business administration, but if the requisite number of voters have petitioned for his recall he should wave all legal technicalities and ‘rest his case with the voters’ sense of justice. Max Wardall, too, is confronting a recall, but un- like Mr, Blaine, there is some slight excuse for his recall. Since his three year term of election went into effect Mr. Wardall has not wholly lived up to those principles which he advocated before election, and while he has not wandered far enough away to be compelled to face a recall, yet he has gone far enough to be pretty sternly reminded that, to talk one way in a campaign and do things exactly the opposite in official life, will not be tolerated by an indulgent public, especially when a recall persuador is convenient. It is highly probably that Mr. War- dall will have to do some hard fighting to hold his place. Edward Cudihee, twice elected sheriff of King county over a Republican opponent, despite the fact that the county was overwhelmingly Republican, has been selected by H. C. Gill as his chief of police in case he—Gill—is elected. Be it said to the ever- lasting credit of Ed Cudihee that he is all wool and a yard wide when it comes to dealing with his fellow man, and for the public to understand that Cudihee would be at the head of the police department in case Gill was elected would bring to Gill a good many hundreds, if not thousands of votes. Mr. Cudihee quit the political game at the close of his second term and went into business and since that time has ac- cumulated a fortune. In the opinion of the writer he is not dying to get back into the game. Hyram Charles Gill, after he had been recalled last spring, was of the opinion that he was for all time to come through with the treachery of polities and politicians, but he is again listening to the poli- tical siren and is now seeking vindication for the political humiliation he underwent last spring. The slogan of his campaign will be against Bogue’s civic center plans and the appointing of Ed Cudihee chief of police, both of which will prove popular para- mount issues for the coming campaign, and will make Mr. Gill a more or less formidable candi- date, his past political misfortunes to the contrary notwithstanding. | a r ¢ J. D. DEAN Who. Hopes to Organize a King POLILICS AND mayoralty contest interesting for Mr. Gill because he—Cotterill—has taken the initiative in opposing Bogue’s civie center, and those who believe as does Cotterill look to him to successfully combat the Bogue ideas. Mr, Cotterill is an able debator and in spite of his alleged pessimistic views he will make the winner look to his laurels. An effort is being made to have Cotterill withdraw from the mayor- alty contest and support William Hickman Moore, who after election will name Cotterill as city en- gineer, but he is desirous of being mayor, Governor and United States Senator and in accepting the civil engineer’s job it is not a very long step in those directions, Moore will not be able to break into the female vote as would Cotterill, hence does not stand the same show of election as Cotterill. Thomas A. Parrish, who is said to be the candi- date of the big daily papers and Gov. Hay, is not very pronounced on any of the points at issue in the coming campaign. His campaign is to be made by the daily papers and for the most part he is to show himself at public functions, look wise and say noth- ing against which his opponents can take issue and foree him to fight for his privciples. A. L, Valentine, it is rumored may be selected by Gov. Hay to succeed John C. Lawrence on the util- ities commission. If he does it will be continuing a representative of the railroads and corporations of the state on the commission that looks after the affairs of the railroads. It was an open secret that the railroad magnates named John C. Lawrence on the commission and under the daily paper trium- virate whip Gov. Hay is to name a railroad tool for the place, and a more subservient one can no where be found than A. L, Valentine. On the utilities com- mission in Seattle Mr. Valentine was named because J. C. Ford, J. D. Farrell and other corporation man- agers willed it and he has served his masters well and will continue to do so if promoted. Gardner Kellogg, Seattle’s famous fire-fighter, who has seen Seattle grow larger, then smaller (by fire) and then grow mammoth-like in size, and dur- in gall that time he was the chief fire Gard, has fin- ally retired from active serviee and did so under most favorable cireumstnees, as the entire depart- ment joined in a feast and a dance in his honor. Gov. Myron E. Hay is trying to fill the position recently left by Mr. Lawrence, and he is going some to find a man that will make a bluff at filling the place, but who will do more toward strengthening his, Hay’s, political fences than perform the duties of the office. : J. D. Dean, publisher of the Journal and the Ranch of Kent, is giving a great deal of time just now in assisting others in organizing a fair for King county. He spent some time in Seattle the past week endeavoring to perfect the plans and he be- lieves that those interested in the move have its de- tails sufficiently in hand to be able to say that the King county fair is a certainty. Mr. Dean is also president of the King County Weekly Publishers’ ‘Association and of its ultimate success he is likewise quite hopeful. Editor Dean is one of the useful men of the county, and best of all he is no politician. Benjamin H. Morgan of Snohomish, ‘an oldtime political war-horse of Washington, is among those who closed the book of life New Year, and balanced accounts. As a member of the legislature he made a circle of friends and associates, each one of whom will drop a tear of regret to learn of his death. He THE PEOPLE'S FORUM 4 JUDGE RUDKIN AND MR. FINCH. During the two weeks that I was out of the paper business, my good friend J. L. Finch got into trouble. It seems that he defended a criminal case in the Federal court and unintentionally, of course, created a rough house. I know nothing about the matter except what I read in the papers, but that was enough to give me, what I consider a clear insight into the situation. Finch was with Vanderveer during the last year of his term of office and as a deputy prosecuted before Judge Ronald. That "spiled" him for practicing before the Federal courts. In the State courts, the judges are not permitted to commend upon the facts, but must declare the law in charging the juries, but in the United States courts, the practice permits the court to comment on the facts as well as the law. This is a relic of the English practice and under it, a man charged with crime gets the worst of it rather than getting an even cut. It appears that Judge Rudkin preferred to follow the old English practice and gave the charge to the jury right straight from the shoulder, and the judge it seems got so warmed up that he raised his voice to a second story pitch and indulged himself by gestures and swinging his arms. Now just imagine how astonished my friend Finch was, when Judge Rudkin gave him that kind of a deal. I need not tell you that Finch's man got stuck, and Finch, true to his fighting record filed a motion for a new trial. This motion came on to be heard in due time. Shall I tell what happened? Well, during the argument Mr. Finch claimed that the court committed error in arguing and gesticulating before the jury, or rather to the jury. I know Finch so well that I believe he did this in a nice way. Judge Rudkin told Finch he was criticizing the court, and ordered Finch to sit down. He sat down. A motion for a new trial is in itself a criticism. Its office is to call the attention of the court to errors occurring during the trial either by the court, jury or others. The only time during the whole trial that a lawyer has the unquestioned right to criticize the court is in the presentation and argument of the motion for a new trial. It looks to me as if my friend Finch was clearly within his rights, but a rest didn't do the lawyer any harm, and Judge Rudkin allowed him to finish his arguments. I think I know just how hard Finch was up against it in that case. I got into one of Judge Rudkin's courts in this city when he was a superior court judge. He was holding court here to help out our judges. John Arthur, the war-horse lawyer, was trying to disconnect William Stanley, the Klondike millionaire, from some of his Yukon gold. Lewis, Hardin & Albertson were the attorneys for Stanley, and I was with the firm and was sent up to the court to try the case for the Klondiker. A lawyer named Jones appeared for war-horse John, and twelve jurors tried to decide the case. Oh, Lord! What Judge Rudkin, Jones and war-horse John tried to do to me and my klondiker millionaire client is too heartrend- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN BV A. G. McBRIDE ing to relate and if I told it metaphorically, the government would not let this paper go through the mail, but as it turned out, they didn't do anything to me, for the jury disagreed. Oh yes, I know just what my friend Finch was up against. This is my first opportunity to comment on the dismisal of the Blethen cases and I am glad to know Mr. Murphy took my advice and cleaned up the docket. The foreman of the grand jury still insists that there was enough evidence in sight to convict the Colonel, from which we must infer that the ex-foreman thinks Murphy did not use all the evidence in his possession. One thing about these Blethen cases that always looked queer to me was that when the indictments were presented in court, Murphy refused to sign and file them until ordered to do so by the court. Murphy was either in that manner trying to show Blethen that they were friends, or the prosecuting officer was wofully ignorant regarding the duties of prosecuting attorney. I took the latter view, for it was the more charitable. I am now astonished to learn that the feeling against Col. Blethen was as strong as it was, and Judge Ronald has been very severely criticized for dismissing the case. I still, however, adhere to my former opinion, that the evidence in the case tried was wholly insufficient and the Col. was entitled to his discharge in that case. The Colonel narrowly escaped being disgraced for life and I hope he will, as a matter of gratitude, hereafter devote some of his time in extending aid to innocent men who are being hounded into the penitentiary by overzealous officials. Only a few weeks ago a man was turned out of the New York penitentiary as an innocent man who had served sixteen years. 1911 produced a number of such cases. The awful records sent to the Supreme Courts of trials are not exposed in the court opinions, and now I urge the Colonel to look into these matters and condemn all unfair trials in the future. Even the Colonel had to take a change of judges to get a square deal. This reminds me of the time when the Colonel and Walter Fulton got after John W. Considine. The chief of police of this city put a sawed-off shot gun under his coat and went gunning for Considine. They met in Guy's drug store and the chief tried to shoot John, but John was too quick for his assailant and saved his life by the sacrifice of the chief of police. If ever on this earth a prosecution of a criminal case was turned into a persecution, the Considine case was one. If ever on this earth a man shot in self-defense, John W. Considine did when he fired the fatal shot. Walter Fulton was not to blame. He had just been elected prosecuting attorney and had no experience in criminal work except the trial of a few justice cases, but urged on by The Times and assistant counsel they made an awful fight against the now millionaire showman. Now the Colonel himself knows what persecution really means. Every man has his turn coming, if he hasn't already had it. Those who wish to run for office should remember this, and they should also remember that to determine just when a candidate's turn has come, is a delicate matter and requires the exercise of keen judgment. I have had my ear close to the earth and am in a prophetic mood and will therefore say to my friend, exmayor Gill; that he better stay out of the fight this time. He cannot be elected to the office of mayor this year. And there's another. It's Auditor Case. He threatens to throw down a good job and spend lots of time and money to secure his election as governor. It is not his turn. His friends ought to keep him out of the race. I was going to say something about our "Bob." I understand he wants to be county commissioner. How about the governorship? His show for one is as good as the other. Again my prophetic vision helps me out—it isn't his turn. Judge King Dykeman decided the Fisher flour case against the plaintiff last week. The mill company tried to compel a retailer to sell its flour at a price agreed upon by the vendor and vendee. The purchaser could sell for 25 cents a sack less and still make a profit, and he gave the two bits to his customers. The court's decision astonished no one. Such a contract is clearly illegal under the laws of this state. If there was anything unexpected connected with the matter, it is that a lawyer could be found who would "commence such a case." Judge Yakey was married in the East during the holidays. Good for John. In one respect, Judge Yokey is the best trial judge that ever held court in King county, while in many others he was as good as the best. If I had my wish, he would live as long as Mathusala and ten times happier. And what do you think of George? He went hunting in India last week and his party shot thirty tigers, but to prevent any attack on his majesty by any of the wild beasts, a big fat Indian was constantly in front of him. Who ever thought that any Englishman, much less an English king, would be so cowardly? Suppose our Teddy had thus protected himself while in Africa, Americans would not have let him come home.

A young lawyer was making his first effort before a judge who was a noted wag. He had thrown himself on the wings of imagination into the seventh heaven, and was preparing for a higher ascent, when the judge interrupted the astonished orator to remark: "Hold on, my dear sir, don't go any higher, you are already out of the jurisdiction of this court."
