It charges that all public owned utilities are fund mentally bad, for the reason that they “take property off the tax rolls.” They have so taken many millions off in Seattle, it is charged, other millions elsewhere in this state. The argument is that the load is thereby saddled onto the general public, Nobody but an ignorant man or a man who willfully seeks to deceive his audience would advance such logic. If any public utility is left in private hands and k on the tax rolls, what then? W hy, then the public charged a rate, fixed by an Olympia bureau, at a point high enough to permit the company to make a profit AFTER it has paid the taxes, together with all oper- ating costs, ete. In other words, to make the public, which the utility serves, pay the taxes which the pub- lic treasury calls for. If the same utility is publicly owned, these simultaneous operations of collecting and receiving the tax money (transferring an amount from one pocket to the other) is omitted by the utility. That is all the difference. The public ig neither richer nor poorer for the change, There are grounds for argument over the policy of public or private ownership of any specific utility. But the “tax roll” question is not one of them. In other words, it is unadulterated bunk. And Se- attle is getting very much “fed up” on that sort of material from the source in question. ner + GIRL DYING; SAYS DRIVER INTOXICATED ‘Hold Autoist as.
