Editor Seattle Star: On page 8 of Wednesday evening's Star you state that “Dr. Edwin J. Brown, socialist candidate for corporation counsel, is opposed to the proposed Bush terminal.” This is not true. I am in favor of the proposed ter- minal, but seek the collective own. ership and democratic manage ment, by the city of Seattle, on the basis of maintaining and operating for use, instead of for profit, in order that they may bring the same benefit to the elty of Seattle, from an industrial standpoint, that the collective ownership of our water system has for the common good of this city. This will eliminate the corruptive Influence of private cor- porations from political life. 1 do not understand how the same who are now seeking to oppress the people by a raise in telephone rates can consistently ask the people of Beattle for $5,000,000 as a bonus for exploiting the city for the next 60 years, It is the history of Chicago, Kan- fas City and every large city on the American continent where pri- vate institutions own thelr terminal facilities that they rule or ruin their internal business, because the rivate ownership of the terminal lities 1s a toll gate upon a city through which no man may enter lest he pay tribute to special priv- flege and big business.
