Multitude OfLetters Sent

to The TimesWhen a multitude of excellent

letters dealing with the samesubject pile up In a newspaper of-fice, it Is never an easy task tocome right, down to brass tacksand pick out the best one. Judgesfrom The Times and the Mel-bourne theater found it unusuallydifficult to determine on theprize-winning letter iv the' Should a Wife Oet Wages FromHer Husband?" contest.

The letters were carefully goneover and the one submitted byMrs. Carrie A. English, of Puyal-lup, was finally declared the win-ner of the $15 prite, after thejudges had carefully consideredtwo or three others, which ranMrs English's letter a close race.

In the mass of letters receivedone opinion stands out prominent-ly, although expressed in variousways. A wife, in the opinion of|Times' readers, should never be,

put in the altitude of getting mere!wages from a husband, but is atthe same time entitled to a fullshare of the family purse in theadministration of her householdduties._ ___—_—— —————mm

"There seems no doubt that theordinance will pass," declared themayor today. "Public sentimentIs so strong that the commission-ers find themselves forced to votefor the ordinance, regardless oftheir personal feelings In tli»matter."

On Tuesday a report will be pre-sented by Commissioners Woods,Atkins and Mills, who were au-thorized by Mayor Fawcett tolearn the wishes of the public re-garding lower telephone rates.'On

\Wednesday the ordinance williiitiii- up for passage.

"There is a possibility that thepublic service commission willstsiiii with the telephone companyand refuse to permit a lowering ofratios bore," declared Fawcett to-day.

"Nevertheless, in two yesrsfrom now. if It does not act thisi-es inn. the legislature will abol-ish the commission. Wheneverthe commission Is abollsthed, ourj.idlnance will go into effect. If'the'citizens of Tacoma appear Infor«j« at the city hall Wednesday,ami indicate that they are unani-mously in favor of lower telephonerates. I don't think the public ser-vice commlsslou will dare try toset aside the ordinance."
