Fine picture! The Star believes the time has come for another warning. Here it is: “CITY OFFICIALS WILL WALK (THE PLANK), IF THEY DON’T SHOWING A LITTLE ‘ATESMANSHIP.” BEGIN Seattle voters put the mayor and councilmen in office to handle the bus- iness of the city. This includes operating the car system. Seattle’s one and only idea in owning the car system to furnish SERVICE to its citizens, The trouble at the city hall with our street railway problem is 90 per cent political. If one official develops a worth-while idea for bettering the condition of the railway he is likely to find, not enthusiastic help, but opposition from other officials who are jealous of the possible political ad- vantage the former may gain thru the adoption of the plan. So, we are treated to a marathon wire-pulling contest instead of an exhibition of in- telligent co-operation, is Seattle is weary of the spectacle. And “warnings” like that of Mr. Blaine only rub salt into the sore. Mr. Blaine and his colleagues must get it thru their heads that their job is to keep the car system running, to make it as efficient a trans- portation agency as possible and to work out the sanest method of paying for the lines that can be found. If they are not capable of handling that job they ought to step out at once.
