This is plainly and palpably City Engineer Thomaon George F. Cotterill, two of the ablest civil engineers in Seattle the city council! and tell the people that the proposed line can be built or purchased for $800,000 or a less sum The pamphiet The ar added to This is false. expense of operating the just as are the sums paid in damages for acc the Seattle Electric npany The pamphlet s the street railway talked about can and told asily false. says sount paid in taxes you would have to pay The sums paid in damages would be a part of the line, and would be paid out of its income dents on t damages (for acc would lines of ailway has no money for repair s flatly false. A municipal street rallway has more money for repairs than a privately owned street railway, for the reason that it is not over-capitalized, does not have to raise slush funds to cor fupt politics, does not have to defray the expense of sentiment,” does not have to pay dividends on watered stock The pamphlet says “The city authorities are always ready ways to give the best possible service. This is more than half false. The city authorities are too often under the domination of the street railway officials, as has been the case in Seattle for years, and take the bidding of the street raliweys in refusing to grant relief to the people. For proof witness the out Fageous conduct of the Seattle, Renton & Southern and the notorious abuse of strap-hanging on the lines of the 8. E. Co. The pamphlet says Tt is proposed to issued bonds which who obtain no benefit whatever from the money for are sold. This is outrageously false. The proposed bonds, inter cipal, will be paid in fares by the patrons of the proposed street rail way line, as a part of the cost of operating the line, and they will all be immediately benefited in increased service, improved accommod: tlons and reduced fare. ‘These are falsehoods in direct statement. But the whole pamphlet fs false in argument, implication and imputation, It is false in that it is issued anonymously, instead of containing the » it is paid for by the street railway Hiterests. It Is falwy in pretends to be issued in the interests of economy of public «xpendt ture. It is false in {ts imputation Mind in its direct statement that municipal ownership has proven a failure. It is false in its imputa tio that the bond issue would increase taxes, It fx false in its impu tation that private ownership means good service at reasonable rates, and that public ownership means poor service and a wasteful expendi ture of money, when, in fact, exactly che opposite of both of thes statements Is true. 009 per ust which the pay bonds POOR cid China will “surrender completely to the Russian de mand.” Of course. What can you expect of a country where even the hens don't dare say their souls are their own—eggs 6 cents a dozen? The mayor of New York has always had a patriarchal relationship to his people that exists in few other cities, In a sense, he makes the laws of the community, expecially those touching the questio Perronal condygt. It is a sort of survival from the personal rule Old Peter Stuyfesant in the days of the Dutch. There have been few mayors so well able to rule New York with an occasional off-hand decree as Judge Gaynor. For instanc he disposes of the matter of socialist and anarchist meetings as fob lows: “Propaganda by intellectual persuasion or by any peaceable m @ changed government, or a change in the economic or social much less suppressed, by the police. And he adds: “That the flag of the persons protesting m Fed, instead of yellow, blue or green, does not annoy or alarm Higent people.” Certainly not. The red Mag. signifying that all men are of hlood, is used-by the supporters of a world movement as the has always been borne in the van of radical or revolutionary progress. And, as Mr. Gaynor says, such progress ts awful so long as peaceably pursued. Gaynor's head is as level as a floor WE live in a rapid age. Time's precious, space valuable. So they've appointed a “very reverend” in England to “boil down” the Ten Commandments. Moses, it seems, was too verbose. a Stee REPRESENTATION A MYTH In these days when the people are reclaiming the Kovernment, it is well to note the constantly accumulating evidenc that Representative Government does not represept the popl, or the great political parties, and that Party Responsibility is a myth, In Kansas last fall both republican and democratic parties their state platforms, promised the passage of reeall measures the so-called regulars defeated them, to 21, in the Kansas ‘To them party pledges are planks to get into office on, and fultili when in office.
