OUT OF JOINT.

Candidate Ronald seems to be out of
joint with the platform of his party
Some of the public utterances of the
former do not agree with some of the
planks of the latter. Consider, for IN
stance, the following:
We will pay all laborers employed by the city
weekly In lawful money and not in scrip.
This was put into the platform to catch
city employees and those who expect to
become employees of the city. 1t reads
very nicely, but We should consider this:
Under the present financial conditions of
Seattle, It is as impossible to put Its affairs
cash basis as it Is for me to rise and fly to
Mercer island.
This was put by Mr.. Ronald into his
speech at Leschi Park in order that he
might the more effectually assail the
management of municipal affairs.
Either the Democratic platform con-
tains promise which the Democrats do
not propose to have carried out, or else
Candidate Ronald proposes to do that
which he declares to be impossible. 1t is
ANYTHING to catch votes with the Demo-
Gratis. A broken promise or false state
ment more or less seems to cut no figure.

A CAMPAIGN OF SANDER.

The Democratic managers started into
the present municipal canvass with the
avowed object of winning sufficient num-
Der of Republicans from the support of
their party to place the Democracy in
power. They hoped that with the city
government once In their hands they
might be able to retain control of the city
without Republican help. The task i'm
mediately before them, however, was to
secure Republican votes for straight Dem
ocratic candidates.
In order to do this they raised the cry
of "rIng" and doodle" They charged
that the affairs of the city were controlled
by corrupt ring, which was growing rich
from public plumber. They charged reck-
less extravaganza on the part of the city
government. These charges have been
made daily by the Democratic organ and
have been repeated by almost every
speaker VINO has lifted his voice in the
Democratic cause.
What is the condition of their canvass
as the day of election approaches? They
have repeatedly been challenged to cite
single instance in which any one of those
whom they choose to term members of
the "ring" has taken one dollar of public
corruption of any kind. They have failed
to respond to this challenge. If they
know of corruption duplicating in any
way those whom they designate as MEM
bers of the ring, they should give the
facts to the public. If they do
not know of such corruption, they
are guilty of malicious SANDER, and de-
serve contempt alike for their unwar-
ranted assaults upon the characters of
honorable men and for their attempt to
secure power under false pretenses.
As to their attack upon the manage
ment of city affairs, the falsity of their
figures has been repeatedly shown, and is
apparent to every one who has examined
the matter dispassionately. They have
made many allegations; they have failed
to prove one.
There is no reason why any Republican
should vote against the candidates of his
party at the approaching election. The
Democrats have sought to weaken the Re-
publican organization by making charges
loudly and recklessly. When they are
called upon TO prove a single one of their
charges they weaken miserably. They
know the weakness of their cause.
The Democratic campaign has been a
campaign of SANDER. 1t does not deserve
success
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-03-04

conclusively that the manufacturers
and the farmers have both profited by the
Mckinley law and at the same time the
people buy their wooden goods cheaper
than ever before.
And yet, in the face of these facts, the
Democratic tariff reformers, Springer and
Bynum, have the effrontery to rise up
and tell the manufacturer that by
admitting foreign wool free of duty
he will be benefited because he will get
it cheaper and at the same time tell the
farmer that he will also be benefited. The
wool growers of Eastern Washington and
Oregon are not gone clean daft. and will
never vote with party which denounces
the Mckinley tariff, that has given the
farmer an additional market for several
millions of dollars worth of wool, and pro-
poses to substitute bill which places the
American wool grower on an equality
with the cheap wool growers OF South
Africa and South America.

FIGURES DON'T LIE.

When Candidate Ronald entered upon
the present canvass he was generally re-
garded as man of fairness and personal
integrity. Even those opposed to him in
politics were inclined to give him credit
for straightforwardness and honesty of
purpose.
How is he sustaining this creditable rep
utation? Not very we'll. it must be con-
fessed. Either he must revise and explain
his speeches or surrender his proud posi-
tion as the professional honest man Of
Seattle.
'The public debt of the city the last
year." says Candidate Ronald, 'has in
creased from four hundred thousand dol
lars to three millions of dollars" The
actual figures are:
Total debt January /, 1921. ... 81, oss, 2s3 90
Total debt March /. 1892 ...... 2,157,09i Sc
There is a vast difference between Mr..
Ron$ld and the figures. And figures
don't lie,
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-03-04

whole be better served in this way. He ex-
planned the difference between per cents. and
per cents, and why 1t would be better TO issue
q per cent bond.
Referring to the conditions. he said the only
eetual provision was that the city should not
issue any more bonds until November l, which
seemed a very reasonable request. The amount
of the water bonds and those proposed covered
a very large sum, and 1t would certainly inter
fere with their sale If within the time nnmed
there should be another issue. He reminded
them that this did not include bonds for the
Rinehart and Yesier corners, so that the city
would not break faith in any Of its contracts.
The fact was that the Posr-INTELLIGEN-
GER, so far back as year ago, raised the
point that the debt, having been ascer-
tanned, should be funded and that the cur
rent expenses should be cut down. Harris
& Co., who were interested in selling the
bonds, objected to the public discussion, but
that did not deter the PosT-INTELLIGEycER
from doing what it considered its duty,
and the result was an immediate retrench-
ment, which brought about the great de-
crease repeatedly shown by all the depart
ments.
One very notable instance was the fire
department. 1t was then running at the
rate of $1l9, 1888 year, but the chief set
to work and in August announced that the
current expenses had been reduced to the
rate of S9l, 1892. a saving of $20,064.76.
Every illustration goes to show that the
city has not been running wildly, but that
for year there has been a steady and
systematic economizing in every depart
ment and that all the city has to contend
with is the old Indebtedness.

A SPECIMEN OF "ExTRAvAGANCE."


Last summer, although the pumps at
Lake Washington were pumping water
almost up to the full limit of 100000 gal
Ions day, there was such scarcity of
water that the greatest care had to be ex-
ercised in order to avoid a shortage of sup
ply. The sprinkling of lawns, ETC., had to
be restricted to almost uncomfortable
limits.
Since then about seventeen miles more
of pipe have been laid, and next summer,
owing to the hundreds of additional
houses supplied, the board of public works
pumping facilities, but to lay another
main so that the whole of the city south of
Yesler and east of Broadway could have
plenty of water without reducing the
quantity in the western part. 1t was
concluded that. as one large
pump could be bought cheaper,
erected at less cost and be operated
more economically, that one large enough
to meet the demand for several years
should be purchased.
1t was also thought wise to extend the
main into the deeper and purer water Of
the lake in order to avoid the impurities
of the surface.
That is why the citizens are asked to
authorize the issue of bonds as follows:
Ten million gallon Holly pump, $685. 500;
suction inlet pipe and well, $4,000; new
force main from Lake Washington to
main reservoir, $4,000.
The comfort of a plentiful supply of wa
ter, the advantage of purer quality and
the additional revenue will be, of them
selves, such immense benefits as to justify
the expense.
But the fact of it is that in addition to
all this, the outlay will not cost the city
one cent.
The first result will be to do away with
the Broadway pumping station entirely.
1t costs, for operating, $655.30 a month.
The saving on this alone will, therefore,
before the bonds are due, pay back princi-
pal and interest and leave a surplus.
The additional revenue will be clear
profit. This is sample of Republican
extravaganza"

SEATTLE. FRIDAY. MARcH 4.
A BUSINESS COUNCIL.

mat council was business council, {"
says Candidate Ronald of the CITY council
which Immediately preceded the Republi-
can city administration.
That was the council under which the
debt Of Seattle was piled up. That was
.ne council which conducted the city
business SO loosely that the Republican
officials found when they went into power
an entire lack Of system, an utter absence
OF check upon the expenditure of public
money. That was the council whose mis-
takes we have ever since been endeavoring
to rectify. That was the Benezette Will
Jams council.
II that is Candidate Ronald's idea of a
business council, for goodness sake what
kind OF an administration would he give
US if he should be elected mayorl
