THE SEATTLE STAR Phones: Private Exchanges Malm 9400 and Independent ¢#t we Pintiched datty by The Star Publishing Go.” Car Line Who is trying to hold up Seattle's municipal ear line and what councilmen are in the deal? Certain it is that councilmen who are quibbling about borrowing city funds for beginning immediate construction of the line are holding up the car line Certain it is that councilmen who are themselves question ing the legality of the car line bond issue are holding up the line. The car line bonds are absolutely legal, voted for t y the »ple and backed by the people's credit and the city of Seattle f any of the city’s bonds are legal, these are legal Interests identified with private trolley projects all over) the country are always making’ a fight on the legality of the bonds of any city which decides to go into the car line business itself. That is what has happened here. a "These interests “tip off” allied interests in New York, and the money trust, working in harmony with the electrical trust, stalls about buying the bonds. The scheme here is to delay icipal car line. ce Ww = the electric trust should make a fight on the bonds is plain. Councilmen elected by the people who “scare” at the bluff and affect to believe that the bonds might not be legal are imply playing into the hands of the trust e No CoUNCILM AN HAS A_ RIGHT THAT THESE BONDS ARE NOT LEGAL Why were the councilmen elected? To question the right of the people to issue bonds and build a car line? Let the councilmen carry out their platform pledges, part ‘of which called for the building of the municipal car line, With millions in the city treasury there is no reason why the trolley trust should hold up the immediate construction of this line That's the game the, trolley trust is playing When more bonds are issued next summer the car line bonds should be linked with them—and not sold before. The trust wants a chance to blacklist the car line bonds separately The money trust will take the whole bunch if it can't pick out the ones it favors. oe ‘The clear duty of the council is tq use the city’s money NOW in building the car line and to DRAW ON THE BOND MONEY WHEN THE BONDS CAN BE SOLD WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM THE ENEMIE OF THE MUNICIPAL LINE AND THE PEOPLE. The Freedom of AlasKa The Alaska question goes before congress again thia winter, but sit is not the Alaska question of two years ago. Then the question was Shall coal claims be granted upon 4 loose construction of the law, so that these invaluable resources shall pass to speculative ownership ‘with the moral certainty that they will become the basis of another in fuel? the construction of the TO ASSUME Shall railroad development be left to private enterprise, perhaps | ~ with interest on their bonds guaranteed by the government, as urged by Clark, the Alaska executive? This time the question is: Shall the government retain title to all the coal, save that which has been acquired in good faith under the law (which is very little), then proceed to acquire its own mine for the navy and to lease to priv operators what is needed for industrial and demestic uses? Shail the goverament ‘build a trunk railroad system from an ex cellent harbor to the best coal fields and exipnd it hundreds of miles into the interior? ‘Thus far have we come in two years—all the way from Ballinger to Fisher. But it is the greatest of pities that, having gone so far, Secretary Fisher does not carry his new policy for Alaska to its jogical conclusion ‘This conclusion would be that the government, which now owns every fcre of coal lands, and which is to spend millions in constructing rail roads and docks necessary to its development and transportation, should and distribute the coal at actual cost to the people of the United tes—its present owners. It is due to Secretary Fisher to say that he proposes a form of lease which, in his opinion, will protect the public from unreasonable exploitation and guarantee just wages and fair treatment to labor em ployed in the mines. it is due to our own convictions to say that we believe there is no} reason why private capita) should coin one single dollar of needless Profit out of the coal which belongs absolutely to us all, out of the urgent necessities of our people, and out of the labor that men must do in bringing the coal from the ground. A lease that should do real justice to the rights of the public and the rights of labor is a lease that no private operator would accept. A lease that private operators would accept is a lease that could Rot possibly do real justice to the public and to labor. Mr. Fisher had done so well that he ought to win the whole battle for the freedom of Alaska.
