Justice Evans, PEOPLE’S PLATFORM Drawn Up by The Star and Submitted to the Nine Candidates Endorsed by This Paper to Show the People Where These Can- didates Stand on Vital Issues. == Every one of the nine candidates for the council endorsed by this paper promptly approved of the People’s Platform drawn up by The Star and submitted to them for approval or disapproval. The names of these nine candidates attached to this platform gives the voters of this city an absolute guarant: a pledge that can’t be broken, that these 10 vital problems will be worked out for the benefit of the people. These 10 declarations of principles deal clearly and plainly with Measures that mean muchto the men and women of Seattle who work Without hesitation The Star can say that the signatures of these fine men to this platform means more in the way of beneficial legis lation for the people than any oth Here is the platform, with the names of the nine candida approved it: 1. We will compel street car companies to furnish a suf ficient number of cars to stop overcrowding and strap-hanging 2. We will p ly acquire or construct a city-owned street railway for first-class service, without strap-hangers, by issuing the $800,000 bonds, provided the pending proposed bond issue is voted by the people. 3. We will work to reduce rates for light, water, power and other utilities owned by the city to the lowest point con sistent with cost of operation, maintenance, interest charges and provision for sinking funds required by law. 4. We will revoke saloon licenses upon conviction for a second offense, 5.. We will make street Improvement bonds run ten y instead of five, at not to exceed six per cent interest, 6, We will not favor special street improvements unless initiated by the property owners affected 7. We will fix the boundaries of the district to be assess: ed for condemnation at the time the proceedings are begun, 8. We favor such legislation as will enable the city itself to construct public improvements by contract or by day labor. 9. We favor such legislation as may be necessary to pre vent the accumulation of idle money in the treasury or in the banks of the city, and thus accomplish a great saving to the tax- payers. 10. We will immediately investigate every department of the city with a view to reducing the cost of city government and public improvements, and maintaining unimpaired the credit of the city 1.
