Facts for. Taxpayers _ Do you know that Seattle has an interest-bearing debt of $36,834,481? Do you know that this debt of Se- attle’s is larger than the debt of any city in the United States of less than 300,- 000 inhabitants? Do you know that Seattle’s citizens are taxed to pay more interest on city debt than the same number of people anywhere else in America? Do you know that a large city debt means high city taxes and that every increase in debt makes taxes higher? Do you know that if you rent a home, the owner adds the taxes to the rent he requires you to pay? Do you know that proposals to issue enough more city bonds to raise Seattle’s debt to $38,094,481 are to be voted on tomorrow? Do you know that the largest propos- al for more city debt is to raise $800,000 in bonds to pay, in part, for the Seattle, Renton & Southern? Do you know that you will have an opportunity to vote for or against the issue of these $800,000 bonds tomorrow? Do you know that if they are issued they will have to be followed by other large issues to complete the project, thus increasing Seattle’ e’s debt by much more than $800,000? Do you know that $800,000 would only be a very small part of the money necessary to carry out the plans con- nected with the proposed purchase of the Seattle, Renton & Southern? Do you know that the Seattle, Renton & Southern is assessed for taxation at about $1,250,000? Do you know that it is mortgaged for $825,000? Do you know that the city cannot ex- pect to buy it for less than its assessed value? Do you know that the proposed ex- tension would cost over $250,000? Do you know that the Seattle Electric Company has a franchise and is going to build in the Rainier Valley? Do you know that if Seattle bought the Seattle, Renton & Southern it would surely lose money on it every year and that these losses would have to be paid out of taxes? Do you know that the taxpayers would be lable for damages if any one was hurt in an accident? Do you know that it would cost the taxpayers $50,000 a mile to pay for pav- ing now done by the private owners? Do you know that city owner ste would increase Special Assessments by putting on the taxpayers heavy expenses now paid by the street railway owners? Do you know that city-owned street railways have been a failure wherever they have been tried? Do you know that it is your duty to vote against street railway bonds?
