T RSON REPORT SHOWS CARS PAY VETERAN HE CITY OWNS the street railway system—and will continue to own it! Does any sane man doubt that? Let us be practical. Camouflage, oratory, insane raving, anar- chistic talk of repudiation, cannot help this city. The practical question before us is to make the street railway the best possible success. + + * ESPITE THE HANDICAP of an unfriendly administration, the railway bids fair, with anaverage of $18,000 a day in receipts, to pay off ALL its obligations and leave a surplus, without ever touching the taxpayers’ pocketbook. If it can do that with an unfriendly administration, could it not do more with a friendly council? Think it over, taxpayers. It is not a question of whether the city should keep the rail- way. The city is going to keep it. It is not a question of whether the city should repudiate its con- tract and its bonds. The city is not going to repudiate. It is not going anarchistic. The question is simply whether we shall lend our best efforts to making the railway a success, or }whether we shall send its knockers and ill-wishers to the council to it if possible. Can Seattle taxpayers afford‘to experiment with the Cotterill- Doyle combination? ‘a * * * F THE RAILWAY is a success, the taxpayers, and the people in general, will be the gainers. If it is a failure, there is serious danger of the taxpayers pay- ing the cost of the failure, and the only gainers will be those who have built their political hopes on the ruins of the railway. Let us be sensible. Let us send men to the council who will be anxious to make the system a paying one. Let us elect men who recognize that the big task ahead is to obtain expert management and efficient operation of the system. Fitzgerald and Bolton see that. Councilman Carroll says he also sees this issue now. Elect Fitzgerald, Bolton and Carroll! Fate Plays Cruel Hoax on Lovelorn —KY— Bertrand W.
