The power plant interest grab
will not go through the council
without opposition tonight, ac-
cording to some of the council
men.
George Russell said today he
was absolutely opposed to any
other plan than that voted for
by the people, If it can be done
that way.
Judge Stiles came before the
committee yesterday and said the
protest could not be carried out
the way the people voted, and
that it must be changed, and that
is why ! agreed to it," said Rus
sell today. 81 am opposed to
changing 1t, and l will bring the
matter up in the council tonight
l think we should pay the plant
off just as soon as possible, and
do it the way the people voted
for it,"
At the committee meeting
Messrs. Grubb and Williams OF
the Jefferson Square Improve
ment club were present to protest
against the grab. Judge Stiles
talked them out of their position,
however, according to Russell, by
telling them the old plan could
not be carried out.
The fact is, the plan is being
carried out now, and the biggest
contract in the whole job has al,
ready been let and signed up un'
der the old plan as voted by the
people.
Up until the recent session OF
the legislature, the plan as vOtet
by the people was the only one
that could be carried out. The
scheme now advocated by Judge
Stiles was then illegal, and so de
clared by the court. That is why

THEY'RE READY TO SLIP ANOTHER YOKE ON YOUR NECK

The power plant interest grab is more than an
interest grab, it is a bald-faced steal.
Are the people going to let the city council put
it through tonight?
The judiciary committee yesterday afternoon
to the city hall tonight or get busy with their
councilmen today, the thing is likely to go
through.
Here is what it means:
1t means that instead of paying for the power
plant in from five to years, it will drag out
for 22 years. Not dollar will be paid on the
debt for over three years
It means that the people will be saddled with
high rate interest debt amounting to over ST.
100000 in useless interest.
1t means that the city council will work plain
open and shut steal on the people of Tacoma
taking thousands of dollars from their pockets
and handing it to Wright & Sweeney.
Here is the situation: The city arranged to
build the power plant. 1t agreed to pay for it
out OF the profits setting aside 40 per cent of
the receipts. 1t called for bids for the biggest
part of the work on this basis. Enemies of the
project discredited the warrants and made it
difficult to get bids, and contractors had to dis
count the warrants thousands of dollars. But
they bid on that basis They allowed thousands
of dollars for discount on the warrants. The
city accepted the bid so made Now it proposes
to make the warrants 60 at above par by chang
ing them from short time, to long 22-year paper
at high rate of interest.
The result will be that Wright & Sweeney will
just be handed nice fat plum of from $25,oO0
to $5OOOO
Ii the city intended to change the plan why
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-03-16

was it not done before the big contract was let2
The contractors bid high, allowing for discount
on the warrants, because they were to be paid off
soon and bond buyers would not get big inter-
est graft out of them. Now that the people have
been compelled to pay the big price for the con
tract, the council is going to change the plI.
and make the warrants worth thousands of dol
lars more. Thus the city loses at both ends nf
the game.
{ And there is no necessity for the action
Already more than half of the power plant
cost has been provided for.
Three hundred thousand dollars was raised by
long time bonds for engineering and for the pur-
chase OF the land and water rights. Now Wright
Sweeney have taken the big contract for the
dam and head works and tunnel at $665. .OOO
This makes $9650O0 of the $2OO00O0, already
gone practically One-half The engineers
have all along insisted that the plant would be
built for less than the appropriation, so that at
least half of the cost has already been provided
for under the old plan
Yet the council now intends to overthrow the
whole scheme and mulct the people for $1OOO,-
600 unnecessary interest and hand Wright &
Sweeney nice fat graft of thousands of dollars
more, paying them double discount on the war
rants they take.
The scheme is the most outrageous piece of
municipal jobbery that has come to light since
the old water steal
Bond buyers, contractors bankers and their
subsidized organs are bending every effort to
hold weakened councimen in line for the grab
What will you do about it? Will you pas
sively allow the gang to slip another woke on
your neck to be carried for a score of years?

GIRLS

SENTENCES
STARTED RIOT AT REFORM
SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY
WE'RE WHIPPED.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, March 16.
Eight girls from the state re-
form school at Mitchelyille are in
Jail here today. Their incarcera-
tion followed riot at the school,
which threatened to- embroil The
entire institution.
One of the principal causes of
the disturbance that resulted in
the arrest of the girls, one of
them stated, was the refusal of
the matron to permit them Ia
wear their garter straps while
they were being whipped.
A piece of rubber hose was used
during this operation, the girls
said, and the supporters were IN
lstrumental in partially breaking
the force of the blows.
After they had thrown ths
school into an uproar last evenin .
eight of the girls, supposed to be
the leaders in the outbreak, were
arrested on charges of melting n
riot and destroying property of
the state. They were sentenced
to ten days in Jail.

when the registration for ;he
April election ran over 100000.
This is three times the normal

1t also indicates that the lars.

probably will be polled in April
not excepting the hottest presi-
dental campaign. The real sts-
nificance of the enormous re s,s-
