LIED WHOLLY FALSE, HE WRITES IN LETTER “There is not a single accurate statement in the adver- tisement and everybody who knows the facts would be amazed, as I am at such statements.” Mayor Newton D. Baker of Cleveland, Ohio, says this of an advertisement of the Seattle Electric Co. in a Seattle newspaper on August 13. Under the caption, “Controversy the Cause of Cleve- land's Trouble,” the advertisement says: The mayor of Cleveland sald last month to the board of arbitration, which had been considering questions at issue be- tween the city and the street railway: ] “We have tried fighting for 10 years, and now we want to | try agreeing for a little while.” The controversy has been unprofitable. The street railway system of Cleveland suffered because of it, and Cleveland’s car service suffered as a natural consequence. Cleveland has always had the traction question in politics, and Cleveland has failed to develop its street car system as it might have developed if the question had been kept out of politics. The company there was compelled to furnish service be- low the cost of good service, and as a consequence service de- teriorated. Too much controversy, too much attention to demagogic | politics, too little common-sense business was brought to bear on the traction question. These caused Cleveland’s trac- tion troubles. | Should the man who writes the advertisements for the Seattle Electric Co., or the mayor of Cleve- land, be the better informed on this question?
