ea ce eR ee | A vegetarian sought a wife, And thie Is what he gid, oh! He did not swerve from his beliefs But chose a young grase widow, VOL. 13, NO. 133. * SEATTLE, WASH FOOL PEOPLE The Seattle, Renton & Southern line has been reorganized! Crawford will seek to please the public henceforth! Several city officials have been taken into the confidence of the reorganizers! That ia the “pleasing” announcement which is being herelded to the four winds with much fourish, Its the method of Big Business, and Crawford fn particular, to squelch municipal ownership. It te a direct attempt to rob the people of Seattle of the street railway for which an $800,000 bond issue was voted last spring. Big Business has come to the “rescue” of the dear common people whom it so dearly loves—to fleece, And this is how it Is done; An announcement has been mado that the road has been reorgan- feed, with Crawford to continue as president. A new manager will come and a new polley will be inaugurated. Law suits will be dropped. Several millions of dollars will be Invested. They want to please the public in every way—to divert the public mind from the idea of own ing 4 road of its own, “We will give the best street car service on the Coast. duild all cars in Seattle,” they solemnly declare. Strange how good and accommodating they have become because the public was going to take the road over and run it for the benefit of the public! Several city officials have been taken into their confidence, they say. Who are they? a safe bet that these city officials whom the voters of Seattle took into their confidence tast spring, telling them they wanted a city owned road, are not speaking for publication. Rig Business beeame frightened when it was seen that several eity officials mean BUSINE: It was found that there was a dispo- sition among some of the elected by the people to carry out the people's wishes. So now they close their “grand” announcement with the state- ment that “business men believe it probable that the purchase of the read by the city will never be pressed if the service of the road is improved and a disposition shown to meet the demands of the public.” But there ate several scores of thousands of voters in Seattle who have sald they whint a road of their own. They will not be satintied with this hot alr, the purpose of which Is to act as chloroform to put the people to sleep while the picking of thelr pockets Is being continued indefinitely. / And it may be suggested that if this reorganization means anything, | however little, the Seattle, Renton & Southern ought to begin issuing | transfers t . Co, lines, instead of notifying the city that it is going to appeal the recent suprem: rt decision to the United States supreme court. The Crawford line, too, if it ly means to act square with the people, ought to wind up finally the “nickel fare” de- cision, instead of delaying until the last minute to ask for a supreme court rehearing. mond, V. found.

With that rare consistency and devout devotion to the dols of Big Business, that made him a national character in a few months, and that likewise unmade him, Richard Achilles is Out definitely against the plan to have the coal beds of the people operated for the benefit of all of us, instead of for the Mor- gan-Guggenheim-Rockefeller “infant” industries. The petition wave swept over Tacoma yesterday, and enthusiastic circulators visiting the city hall enlisted every pubfic Official in the fight for Alaska coal at cost. While the petitions were being signed Richard Achilles Ballinger wandered in and was asked to sign. é “I don't care to sign it,” remarked the ex-secretary of the interior, curtly. - “I won't be quoted or interviewed on the matter at all,” stormed our old friend Richard, when asked to make some state- Ment regarding the situation in Alaska, and concerning the desirability of the project iness gracious, Agnes, how peeved our old friend Ric hard has become : He really won't say a word; it makes him froth to even think of the government doing something for the people; he ‘And this from an ex—we like to dwall on that ex—secretaty of the interior, the man who was supposed to be conserving and protecting the vast resources of the nation for the good of all the people Of course it is funny to see Richard get mad. Every knock from him is a boost. Everybody knows where he stands, whom he works for, why he was fired, and why he ever got the job in the first place. Poor, dejected, disgruntled, disappointed, dys- Peptic Richard has about as much influence for good or evil with the people of this state as a last year’s bird nest, clinging wretchedly to its decaying limb in a sodden September garden. ‘ But what poor Richard shows in his petty spleen is merely an indication of what his bosses think, and that’s important Richard has the viewpoint of the gang, of Big Business, of the combination that has used Alaska for its own—tbe crew that Richard was kicked out of office for protecting. ‘ op : ee If Washington gets Alaska pool ster government colliers at the cost pf mining and delivery it will be because the people of this state win in a hard tussle with Big Business. : ‘ ‘ . The railroads, the water, light and power trust, the crooked politicians, the big banks, the “great” employers of cheap labor, will fight against this plan to the end, and every influence that money and vested interest and political pull and per- ed publicity can bring to bear will be thrown in the balance to prevent the state getting relief. ns ; Sign those Alaska petitions and get your neighbor to sign, too.
