CAN 1T REs

What is the real motive behind this
feverish desire to add s.. go. go TO the city's
debt? Who is so deeply interested as to
go to the expense OF printing tens of thou
sands Of circulars. organize meetings. and
employ people to canvass from house TO
house2
One million and a quarter dollars is a
large amount OF money. and the handling
Of it is sure TO bring profit 10 somebody.
The sophistry with which the PROPOSE
;ton To 40 into debt is surrounded by the
little coterie which is so persistently fos-
tering It shows that some other and more
powerful purpose than the mere public
good is animating them.
The campaign in favor OF going into
debt is being wsged with all the parapher-
MALTA OF a personal election. All these
things cost money. Who is putting it up.
and why?
The most desperate efforts are being
made to have 1t appear that the assump-
ton of S1,250.O00 Indebtedness by the city
is not a debt because it is to be repre-
scented by warrants. and not by bonds.
There Is one thing above all others the
people may be assured of. and that is-the
debt viii have 10 be paid by the citizens
Of Seattle IL it be incurred.
What can be the motive OF any set OF
men to nut their hands IN their pockets
TO pay the expenses of urging the people
10 clap on more debt?
While the discussion was confined TO
argument there seemed 10 be no sugges-
ton Of money considerations. but now that
somebody is mysteriously spending cash
10 force the debt upon Us. the question
will naturally follow. Can II be that behind
all this outburst Of public spirit in favor
OF a. great issue OF warrants there is some
interest not yet made manifest?

RELIEF At Ills GOING.

Gov. Altgeld, OF Illinois, has announced
that from and after the close of his pres
ent term OF office he will eschew politics.
With his retirement will disappear the last
OF the four sensational executives who
have brought their states into disrepute
by their eccentricitiea and demagogic
chasing OF insane ideas. P~ennoyer. Waite
and Lewelling have preceded him. and
for tho sake OF the good reputation OF the
different commonwealth In which their
influence was once felt, IL IS to
be hoped they all wil he allowed
20 remain IN private life. Each
one OF the four has become no.
torious because Of incorporate u%tterances
and wild. visionary professions. The ox-
ample they set has been bad. and the rep
utation OF the states they governed has
suffered just as tho judgment Of the peo-
pie that elected them has been universally
criticised. Pennoyer was. perhaps. the
best OF them all. but that IS not saying
much. They all have some good personal
traits and characteristics. hut In ONCE
they rave been so bitter and prciud.ced.
so fun Of vicious notions and 50 prane to
cater to the more reckless element that
their administrations became a disgrace 10
the several states. If not a menace to pub
liz peace and order.

ceps In all that IS visionary. bad and dan
Eerous. Carried into power In the midst
OF an active agitation OF un-American
ideas. his whole career has been marked
by tho PRONUNCIATION OF ncfarious pr.n-
ciples. such as could but lead to the eventual
detriment Of our Institutions. lie will be

Seattle, Nov. IS, 1895.
To the Editor: 1 have heard it stated
that ID the legal limit Of taxation has been
reached; 90 that a portion OF the expenses
OF the municipality is paid out OF surplus
earnings of the water works; 90 that there
are still s., 500. 900 OF taxes due but unpaid.
Are these statements true? II so % is notthe
consumer Of water paying other peoples
taxes, and Is not a reduction OF water
rates impossible? CD Are not those officials
who use water earnings for other purposes
acting illegally. at least technically? For
/ realize that our burden is so great now
that a strict construction OF the case would
render a worse expedient necessary. CD III
our deficit in collections IS as stated, do
the commissioners levy a rate based on
the probable collections, or on assessed
vaIuation7 II the latter and only a por-
ton of the taxes are collected, how does
the city pay it's running expenses? l don't
understand this juggling with figures on
the city's proposition for a gravity supply,
so ask a plain answer to the following: Ii
We vote to spend s1,2oo.0o0. on which we pay
annually ss2,500 interest, is that an in
crease OF the city debt or not2 | have
heard 1t stated that 1t Is not a debt be-
cause the s.. 80. 900 will be met by warrants,
on which the contractor who builds the
gravity plant must run the risk OF payment.
and we are in a position to say, after We
get the plant built, there's no money 10
pay you; in other words. We can repudiate
the debt and still have the plant X.
