AMERICANISM ugh M. Caldwell, after an operation fitting him to pass the physical examina- " tion £6F the United States Army, resigned his office as Corporation Counsel of Seattle, leaving a wife and four children, and was c-mmissioned a Captain in the United States Army, and assigned to the Intelligence Department. December 22, 1919, he issued the following declaration in filing for the office inavee: : “I have filed for the office of Mayor as an independent candidate, representing no clique, faction or ring? Having served as an enlisted man in the National Guard, while Corpora- tion Counsel of this City until I entered the United States army, and being a member of the American Legion, with whose sims and purposes I am in hearty accord, I am willing to stand upon the proposition that upoh the question of loyalty to our government, federal, state, or city, there can be no compromise. I am just as firmly of the belief also that Amer. jeanism or loyalty should not be used as a cloak for the accomplishment of selfish ends.” “If I am elected mayor, I will urge the vigorous prosecution of seditionists and the dis loyal who violate the law, and I will endeavor to maintain law and order at any cost.” January 8, 1920,,in a speech before the Young Men’s Business Club, he said: “On the question of Americanism I make neither boast, apology, nor explanation. But dur Ing and Since the war I-have stood up and was counted. Im the matter of loyalty to the government, federal, state or city, there can be no compromise.” January 12, 1920, the Times published on its first page the following state- ment by Mr. Caldwell: “In the event that anyone is not familiar with my conduct, as distinguished from mere Geclarations, I invite the attention of the people of Seattle to the fact that while corpora- tion counsel of the city I enlisted as a private in the National Guard of the state of Wash- ington while the country was at war; that Twas discharged as a sergeant when I entered the United States’ y; that since I have returned from the service I have declared myself to be in hearty accord with the principles and purposes of the American Legion, of which I am @ member. The constitution of the American Legion declares it to be the purpose of the Legion: To uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a 100 per cent Americanism; to inculcate @ sense of individual obligations to the community, state and nation; to combat the autoc racy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might, and to safe- guard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy. Since returning to Seattle, I have urged vigorous prosecution of the seditious and disioyal who HUGH M. CALDWELL violate the laws of the city, state or nation. If elected mayor, the oaths which I have taken, F M city, state and federal, will be my guide tn the conduct of the office in so far as the question or Mayor of Americanism and loyalty is concerned.” Hugh M.

MORRIS BROTHERS, Inc. THE STREET RAILWAY. DEAL The Stone & Webster interests who sold the street railway to the city of Seattle are fighting the nomination of Hugh M. Caldwell in order that no man not friendly to their cause may be in a position to investigate the circumstances sur- rounding this sale. Hugh M. Caldwell has fought them to a standstill while he was corporation counsel of ny and is now bitterly opposed by the Stone & Webster interests. For two years the Stone & Webster interests used every means within their power to repudiate their franchise obligations. After fighting them through the courts while corporation counsel for 8& attle, he forced them to live up to their contracts. Having beaten them at every turn and finding that they were forced to fight real instead of sham battles, he has incurred their undying enmity, ‘With the assistance of two astute real estate men, Ole Hanson and Fitzgerald, they were able te unload this white elephant on the people of Seattle for 5,000,000 without. any valuation being made by the city. ‘The facts are these: The franchises of Stone & Webster would have expired in 1934, at which time the lines would have been junked and practically reverted to the city. The net income derived from the railways by the traction company was $375,000 per year. They paid a total tax eagh year of approximately $590,000, were forced to pave the street between the tracks and 18 inches outside the rafls, Besides this, they had to pay their just proportion of the cost of building the Fremont bridge and the Ballard and Eastlake bridges, should they have used them. Now what are the conditions The city pays to Stone & Webster $15,000,000 on the $1,000,000 per year for fifteen years, at which time the franchise would expire and would verted te the city. The city pays to Stone & Webster $750,000 interest on the bonds, per year, $800- 000 per year for power to run the street railway, and must take care of all upkeep of track, the buflding of new extensions, and all expense attached to the operation of the lihes. The city loses the $550,000 taxes which were formerly paid by the traction interests and these must be made up from the people's pocket, ‘The traction interests, from a liability, have turned the Seattle street rafl- ways into an asset for themselves. From an annual income of $375,000 they now receive $1,500,000 per year, and have no worry as to eperation of lines, In 1897, the City of Tacoma purchased a waterworks and through the ‘investigation of some pub lieepirited men, found it to be worth far less than was represented. A suit was brought for dam- ages on the grounds of misrepresentation and fraud, and they recovered about $800,000, Should Caldwell be elected, the Stone @ Webster interests know he will investigate the ale of the street railways to the city, and they fear a suit brought by him to recover damages for gesanck resentation of its value, as was done in the Tacoma casa THE MUNICIPAL RAILWAY MANAGEMENT When Ole Hanson brought his personal and political friend, Tom Murphine, to the City Hall and replace’ a competent engineer as head of the Utilities Department, before the engineer's term of office had expired, he laid the foundation for placing the Municipal Raflways in politics, ‘Through the interference of the political head of the street car syatem with the experienced raf> ‘way men employed by the city, the organization has become demoralized. By ao set of juggied figures they attempt to fool the people into believing that the Municipal Railway has been operated for the seven months at a profit of $10,000. No account has been taken of the added expense which the other departments of the city have added by reason of work which is made necessary by the street car lines. The Corporation Counsel's Department alone has added $2,000 per month to its payroll in order to take care of the legal business of the municipal railroad, This makes $14,000 in seven months. “rhe City Councfl appropriated $36,000 from the general fund into the street car fund to pay the fares of policemen and firemen, who have always ridden free. That kind of arithmetic will not toot, xoters. The Municipal Hallways belong to tho people and they should be economically managed, #0 that we can retain the Scent fare. Experience Has shown that an increase of fare does not increase the revenues, Under the present political management, money is being wasted, To boost the income, we are now charging, for the first time in this city, @ Gent fare for carrying small children. This is wrong and indefensible, It is a form of taxation People who can least afford to pay !t. The money thus gained is used to employ in the Utilities e brotherin-law of the Superintendent of Utilities, the brotherin-law's wife, and the brother-in-law's wife’ ter. A son of the Superintendent of Utilities has also been employed in this’ department wince the city took over the lines. Our Civil Service law should be followed. At least, it should not be violated to give relatives positions. There is an instance where two busses are being operated by the city and an inspector is being paid $180 per month just to look after these two busses. Hugh Caldwell has fought the battle of municipal ownership and {s in favor of thelr economical and successful operation. ne fPortland Market Report) a iocal extreme rere - Eges—Selected local e
