OUR PRECISE ARTIST “He tiled the affidavits today.” TAKE CITY MONEY FROM BANKS THAT BLOCK CAR BONDS Cc n the big banks of Seattle, with their control of the town’s money as a club, prevent the people doing as they please? Can a few bankers, working with the Stone & Webster combine, hang on to $4,000,000 of the city’s money, and refuse to buy $250,000 worth of municipal bonds to build a people's car line? Councilman Erickson doesn't think they can, or at least if the banks persist in trying to club the people, he is an advo- cate of a swat for a swipe, and would have the people do a little clubbing with the $4,000,000 of city money in the local banks, f At the council session this afternéon Councilman Erick- son introduced a resolution callingfor @ commission to outline anew financial system for the t will enable the city to use its own money in prosecifting its own work, leaving the obstinate banks entirely out of consideration. Would any business man, who had $4,000,000 ready cash and who wanted to tise $250,000 for an investment, be held up because his banker wouldn't let him have that much of his own money? You bet he wouldn't; he not ahly would take his $250,000 from the banker who tried to rum things, but he would also take the rest of the wad and put it where he could use it as he saw fit. % - Is there any reason why the éity should not use the same commercial sense, the same busifiess sagacity?

Column 2 s¢ The Car Combine Spirit The center of the Northwest car monopoly activities story building on Milk-"Em-Quick street, in the classic #! Boston. It is one of the places where water is turned into cream while you wait. On this Milky Way, where the rich, @otted cream squeezed from the Duwamish valley and other hapless districts rises in fat gobs, are some 5600 young men, working at an average wage of two bones a day, to assiat the car monopely to make a million a week out of sucker communities they never saw. These young men be- eve most earnestly in their two dollars a day, The earnestness in these young men's work impresses even the mont casual passenger on their combine’s far-off lines, for the slightest survey of the average Seattle car will show that these bright young men, who run a stock-watering concern, with service & mere inconsequent incidental, have done their work well SYSTEM In the god of the Stone & Webster organization. SYSTEM Is the foundation of the giant fortunes sucked from nothing out of the Northwest properties of the combine. Stock watering, lobbying, manipulation, rotten service, nig gardly policies, get-the-money-quick and take it to Milk street, are the common purposes of this great combination of astute high business priests and prophets, and so ¢haracteristic is the Stone & Webster spirit: that even on Wall street Standard Ol operators speak admiringly of it. This Stone & Webster spirit, get-the-money-quick, influences even the twodollaraday clerks; they don't keep much of the money they help their bosses grab from the bapless public, but they have to get the spirit or get out This spirit, get-themoney-quick, has influenced the combine from its inception, and by forgetting such minor details as fair play, decent service, honorable treatment of employes, and public decency, the Stone & Webster combine has built up $150,000,000 out of nothing in a few years, and is hanging on to the wad and bragging about it. ‘This spirit, get-the-money-quick, hae begotton public contempt disapproval, incited riot, desolated entire communities, and forced the people to adopt the municipal ownership idea of car lines years before it would otherwise have done so.
