This is positive! Any contrary doctrine is plain bol- shevism—nothing more or less. No one can encourage a principle so abhorrent to orderly conduct unless he:is either radically “red” or plumb insane! The suit of the “14 taxpayers” was bound to fail, because it was based es- sentially either on bolshevism or insan- ity. It sought to make the city default in payments of interes Smeal on bonds that had NEVER been declared illegal. Those who engineered this suit, those a a ioanived it, the grmnctinveate com jidates who encouraged it, must be re- pudiated, because they are ding broadcast thru the country the belief that Seattle is a city of bolsheviks, a city which recognizes no legal obligations, a city that is willing to go back on a legal contract, a city that is seeking to repu- diate its bonds! | THE ELECTION of councilmen, a week from today, will be watched with keen interest by responsible peo- ple thruout the country. Not because the city may repudiate its obligations. There isn’t a chance on earth for that. The courts won’t permit it, and the people won't permit it, be- cause neither this city nor this country is bolshevik or insane! But harm will be done, and is being done, merely by the TALK of repudia- tion. When people talk of shirking an obli- gation, even if they can’t get away with it, they are the sort whom others natur- ally want to avoid. Once and for all, therefore, we must speak plainly at the polls next Tues- day. We must elect Fitzgerald and Bolton, who are AGAINST repudia- tion. We must elect them because they are the real friends of the taxpayer. "THE VETERANS of this city, speak- ing thru the Bolo club, see this plainly. They indorsed Fitzgerald and Bolton, along with their own comrade, Carroll. They are not misled by mere palaver, by the ravings of insane men, nor by the leanings which make George F. Cotterill adopt and indorse the can- didacy of C. W. Doyle along with his own. It is to the interest of the city to de- feat Cotterill and Doyle both. It is only the voice of a madman that can pro- claim Cotterill (and therefore Doyle) asa friend of the “taxpayers.” Cotterill was mayor, and was and is responsible for the Cedar river dam, in which we sank a million and a half, and which is still leaking. He is also responsible for Division A, the car line that “began no- where and ended nowhere,” which has cost the taxpayers more than $200,000 of REAL money out of the general fund, while, on the other hand, the en- tire system obtained from the Puget Sound Traction company NEVER took a single penny out of the general fund until Mayor Caldwell asked for and ob- tained $83,000. There is a real issue in the campaign —and that is efficient management of the street railway and efficient conduct of all city business. Can Cotterill and Doyle give it, with their multitude of theories and experi- mental propositions? * HE ONLY TWO MEN who have consistently been against taxing the people to pay for the street car sys- tem are Fitzgerald and Bolton. Cotterill only recently proposed to pay off a considerable portion of the system by direct taxation. Aye, even Carroll proposed, last De- cember, to raise $1,500,000 by taxation for this purpose. Carroll has since changed mind about that. He, too, is now against taxation. He, too, now takes the position that has always been taken by Fitzgerald in this regard, and by Bolton. The Star accordingly recommends to the voters the three candidates in- dorsed by the veterans of this city— Fitzgerald, Carroll and Bolton. Elect them and defeat bolshevism and insanity! Elect them and give the city railway the friends it needs to make it the suc- cess it ought to be and can be. Elect them so that the railway, which is taking in enough money to make it absolutely a self-paying proposition, will have a square deal. If you elect the other crowd, the rail- way is likely to be worse managed than it is. And the taxpayers will have to pay!
