WHY? So that every candidate for city office—and they are legion ~-will tell his friends, “Now I want you to vote for me, and to vote against annexation.

They have the insolence to believe that they can again pull, the wool over the eyes of the people of Georgetown. They've got money behind them—lots of it. For the people who have been making thousands out of Georgetown roadhouses and gambling dens won't let these things slip away without a big fight.

Thr tened with great financial loss and FARES FIXED BY NEW. in numerous cases with the actual loss of their homes, some 4,000 people living at Riverton, Foster and Tukwila and other points along the line of the Seattle-Tacoma Interurban between Renton and the city limits, are rising to form a mons protest against the action of the company in increasing the passenger rates along the road. The in- crease places the fare on the Interurban at two cents a mile straight Added to this protest will be that of some 16,000 residents of Renton and other interurban cities on this ine beyond Renton ARE HARD HIT. The people liv in the valley between Renton and the city lim- its are the hardest hit of all the commuters who for seven years past have been using the Seattle-Tacoma Interurban to come and go daily between Seattle and their homes There as many as a thousand of these bread winners, who with the members of their familles spend their earnin in Seattle and are ir ality part and parcel of this city They have been paying 15 cents for the round trip. Under the new schedules announced by Jacob Furth they must pay more than double that amount. From Riverton they must pay 34 cents for the round trip, from Fi nts, and from Tukwila 41 cents, and from other points increased fares in the same proportion, Smal! Home Owners, Hoping to be able to get little homes for themselves, places where they could have gardens, a few chickens and such benefits, these) people in the last seven years have settled in the Duwamish valley to the south of the city They were told that the 15 cent fare for the round trip would stand and on this promise bought their homes, the majority of them on a small sum down and a «email amount monthly. They figured on these conditions they could buy homes and continue to work in Se attle, going back and forth datiy from their homes to their places of employment The protests come not only from the towne named but from all along the line. Men and women come and go dally to work in Seattle from points as far south as Kent, and the impossibility of continuing their employment here under the new 2 cents a mile rate grows with the dixtance. Mass meetings are being held in each little incorporated town and in each unorganized community along the line and all kinds of methods have been proposed to compel the company to rescind its new order The matter will be laid before the state railroad commission, while this is being done other measures are being planned to bring the company to time.

Delegates and committe from organiza- tions at Kent, O'Brien, Ortilia, Black River, Tukwila, Foster, Mor |timer, Allentown, Duwamish, Sun- nyside and Riverton Heights were present, the large hall was packed and intense interest was mani fested. After several addresses to the effect that the people had been th duced to come out here and buy homes with the understanding that the existing rates of fare would be maintained or reduced, and that the proposed doubling of the fare was in effect to confiscate their homes, the following resolution was unant- | mously adopted: Sound Blectrie peven years 4 had Increased sufficlently to justify the reduetion, and, bereas.
