What’s behind it? | —that’s today’s thought! And because the public { is looking behind the $8.30—$9.30 price of “Newcastle” ac- LUMP counts for the greater than ever popularity of this good coal. On a straight comparative basis it is 12% to 18% underpriced. Only one bet- ter coal comes out of the ground in Washington—that’s Black Diamond. A “Newcastle” feature is the clean way it burns—you figuratively can eat off the bottom of the lids from a stove in which it is used.

Any teacher in this city should be as free to make any entions ne to courses of study, textbooks or any- thing connected with the schools as any taxpayer, and the joke of the whole situation Hew in the fact that it is clatmed that they are free by no less an suthority than Mr, Cooper, who, In his reply to the reports of the Tax Reduction counct! commit teon last summer, quotes Mise Mar resident of the High league: “Any person or group of persone that make the accusation that the Seattio high school teachers have nothing to aay as to textbooks and courses of etudy, Is an remote from the truth as it fe possible to get.” While the executive co: the Grade Teachers’ club “Teachers are encouraged to make suggestions and are required to ald In the election of textbooks.” And yet when it ts done independ ently of the clique, it Is so serious an offense that they #end out and aet nignatures denying that they had anything to do with it? Taxpayers and patrons of the fe attle schools, this looks to me like Prussianism! What does ft look Ike to you? MIS. ANNE B, STEWART. Defends Erickson Plan Editor The @tar: Will you please give me space for the inplossd open letter to the League Opposed to Maintaining Public Utilb ties by General Taxation One of your etrev! regarding the Erickson carfare plan was received by me today, Please be advined that lam fully competent to analyse my own reading of such propaganda as yours and need no assistance from Mr. Erickson or any other member of his club or yours to advine me. lam « home owner as well as « patron of our street car system. folsted on the city by such clubs as yours, which always try mould public opinion in advance of elections in such manner aa to thwart the tn lerests of the “common herd," and at the same time fill your own nests with “golden eges,” purioined from the working man’s chicken coop. Why not come out in the open and state the real facts tn the case like thie: We are « club of wealthy or at least welltodo men who desire that the car line be paid for by those patrons who are too poor to own any other means of transportation and after being fully paid for turned over to our “all stocking gang” to enhance the value of our y hola ings in Seattle. Everybody iovee a real fighter, whofe not afraid to come out into the limelight, but your tactics and secret hiding of your identity behind a bogus “lea are ae flimsy as your efforts te scare the poorer peo- ple into your Spider net” by telling them they will lose their homes for taxes, Never mind about Seattle moving out of tts station over night if fare i# reduced: don't lose any p about no one buying your prop. erty If taxes are increased In #0 far as increasing the cost of living & per cent as claimed by you is concerned, you might get ome val uable knowledge along that line by looking over the dally market reports and noting that the price of most articles the working man uses has Increased from 6 to 20 per cent in the last 90 days, and our car fare haa not been reduced either You state that the increased taxes on business houses will be passed on to the pubite. If this is true, why do you object {f you are not forced to pay more than I on your due portions of such Increase in cost business? Why should any business man object to| lowering car fare and increasing taxes if he does as you say he will 4o, pass the additional tax on to the public? You ask what made Los Angeles the largest city on the Pacific coast, and answer your own question with the very things we have here in Se- attle, namely, B stern capital, East ern brains and Eastern emigration.
