Seattle has trouble enough ahead over its car system without incurring a lot of indebtedness which we have no levy to meet. The 5-cent scheme was a flimsily-disguised political | Stalking horse. Nobody reafly thought it was a sensible solution of a grave municipal problem. It was simply | regarded by a few politicians as a means of advancing some individuals’ interests and, incidentally, of clouding the Erickson 3-cent-fare issue on which the people are to vote in the spring. ! Now the ground is cleared away for a clean-cut show- down. The Erickson plan calls for paying the purchase price of the railway system out of the fares, and the — of operation and maintenance from the general This is on the theory that all the pi owners, from there being a car system maintained in Seattle, and, hence, should share in the costs of running ft: Naturally, this idea, if approved by the people, will greatly increase city taxes. On the other hand, it will actua'ly cut fares from the present 3-for-25-cents rate to 3 cents. It means, in short, a great shifting of the expense from one body of people to another. | Whether this ought to be done is a vital question to | all of us. We must be ready to meet the issue in the spring. The politicians must declare themselves, great- ly tho some of them would like to avoid it. | For the measure is to be on the city election ballot, | ard the 5-cent proposal, a half-way and ill-considered plan, is out of the way.
