tion of cSpediency," he said, land the
people of West Scranton must decide
where the viaduct is to be located and
what kind of Il structure is wanted.
Mr.. Mason here informed Mr.. Roba-
than that the structure is wanted on
the south side of the street, and that

construction and consequent damages.
EX-Mayor Fellows also spoke on the
question and threw some hot shot into

THAT PLEDGE.

Nineteen hundred and three, opens
auspiciously for the people of Washing
ton. The pat year has been one of I'M
precedented prosperity in the nation,
state and every community. There is
only one blot on the record of our body
polite the abuse of taxation, by means
OF which unjust favors have been ex-
tended to railroad and transportation
corporations and unequal burdens have
in consequence, been imposed on other
taxpayers.
All politicel parties solemnly pledged
themselves in their platforms, adopted
in respective state conventions, to rem
edy the evil by an appointed railroad
commission. Political parties went be-
fore the people on these pledges. and
the voters of the state having faith in
the party of Lincoln, Grant and McKin-
ley, returned it to power, to execute
this trust in accordance with the pledges
made and obligations assumed.
At the opening of the new year, the
people will ask: Will the republican
party keep these solemn promises or
will it do as the railroad attorneys boast
ingly proclaim, stand by the transport
tation corporations and not by the tax
PAYERS and voters, who made it possible
for the candidates OF that party to con-
troll by large majority the legislature
about to convene at Olympia?
The people are watching, waiting for
the result. The actions, workings, votes
of the majority party and each individ-
ual member thereof will be remembered
and recorded. II the taxpayers do not
receive loyal support and relief in this,
their hour of need; if solemn pledges
are not kept; if faith has been mis-
placed, then there will be prophetic
