The residents of Tukw jand Mr. Erickson’s eminent ba | er from O'Brien, Mr. Bridges, have no claim upon any of this city’s utilities nor any of its funds while they remain outside of the city | Says Rates Were Reduced As to the statement of Mr. Erick |non that, If elected mayor, he |increase the revenues of his street | no one} lear line and other things, knows better than he how litt! power the mayor has He will be called upon to explain |why he haa not done something lconstructive as counciiman, tnas Imuch as bis letter assumes in a modest way that whatever the counci] has done, HE has done I never stated at any time that 1) lreduced Nght rates, for the reason that I never assumed the power to|¢ lead | The records will show that we did reduce the rates when I was a member of the council Discusses Renick Law At the time the last legislature convened Mr. Erickson designated a member of Mr. Bradford's staff as the official lobbyist for the council, I was not consulted in his selec tion. The day before the Renick law was passed | was asked by the council to go to Olympla and try to stop its passage. It was passed before I could get there. In the meantime Mr, Erickson and some of his colleagues had spent considerable time in Olympia, for which ft will be found they pre sented bills to the city, Whether the act was good or bad is in no way an issue here Mr, Erickson also complains of my non-membership in his Referen Outside of the question of wheth er 1 might think the. purposes of that club were commendable, I have always felt that the people of thi city, having elected me mayor at a very substantial salary, | was mayor of all the people of the city, and that I had no right to join organiza tions which might be deemed out side of my duties as business head of what should be a large business, conducted as @ non-partisan, non political, unselfish organization, as I have consistently tried to make It during the past two years.

Asks Erickson Questions This year a levy of 18 milla was | possible but for Mr. Erickson and ibis colleagues, whom he induced to |¥tolate their promise for the sake jof Ulostrating his pet propaganda the single tax.

Without wishing to hurt Mr. | Erickson’s feelings, 1 can safely | say that the great mass of people | do not regard him as highly as he, in his capacity of the Munteipai | Ownership league, at least, does, Should Come Into Open The public does believe that If he 1s that valuable as a councilman, he should remain « counctiman, and |ff if he is as indispensible as he/f thinks he is as a mayor, he should |ff come into the open and receive that | reward to which his conceit, if not his merit, entitles him | If Mr. Erickson Is to be mayor, 1| am entitled to a voice in the choice | of his successor in the counc so are all the rest of our The public will never a candidate who hangs onto one public teat, to say nothing of the whole udder, while aspiring to an} other perhaps a little more suceu. lent In conclusion let me say that,! personally, I stand for just what I did two years ago, when your paper | supported me If | have in any way broken the faith or departed from a prot which T made, I shall be glad to} withdraw from this fight Very respectfully, H, G.
