He declares he is not opposed to the Skagit site; that he is opposing the Skagit bonds only to the extent of opposing financial deals that do not contribute directly to the “winning of the war.” Let us see about that. In the first place, if the city is not going to be protected as to its light and power facilities, by means of the Skagit or other site, war industry in Seattle may be brought to a dead stop almost any day. In the second place, is Banker Backus entirely sincere in that statement? Did he or did he not oppose the floating of twelve and a half million dollars in bonds for the Puget Sound Traction Co.? The traction company DID get approval for floating its bonds, but the city did not get that ap- proval yet. Is the traction company plant con- tributing more to the winning of the war than the city light and power plant? People who live in glass houses should pull the window shades down. Banker Backus might well withdraw his ham mer against the Skagit until after he satisfactorily explains jhis personal investments and building opera tions of late. Will that building on Second ‘ave., which Banker Backus recently purchased, go to win the war? Or will it merely mean profits to Backu Or did Banker Backus think he was helping win the war when he decided to enlarge his own large residence a few weeks ago, and took labor and money to do that? ‘This war is going to be won—and it will be won in spite of officious meddling by opponents of mu- nicipal and government ownership.
