How to Finance Ii

Three possible ways Of getting the money are ap-
De1ent
~ direct taxes on the people, by bond issue, by
thing the profits Of the light and power business.
xhe city cannot tax the people again and raise any
money for at least 10 months. It cannot get bond
Hue before tho people satisfactorily before six
months The profits from the light plant will not be
available in large quantity for several months.
e the people voted bonds it might not be possible
y sel them Seattle could not sell street railway
bonds until the state finally took them.
The first available money the people could get
would probably come from the light plant profits
But Seattle built miles of street railway by trans
fering funds from other public monies. This could
b done in pinch by Tacoma. Then the money
could be put back from the light plant profits as they
came In.
The suggestion that the $4,000 from the street
railway franchise tax be used is useless as this money
has already been appropriated to the general fund
a # were taken anyway it would mean just that
much more tax would have to be laid on the people
for other things.
There is just one way to get the municipal line
quickly borrow money from other city funds con-
sexuct it by day labor under the commissioner of
public works. and nay the money back out Of the light
plant profits as it piles up after, January l.

and Hardin and they contemplated
having grand jury called. But
remembering how the people had
overwhelmingly endorsed Bixby and
Hardin at the polls last fall, and
how a jury of these same citizens
had brought in verdict against
them in the criminal libel case, they
decided that 1t would be Impossible
to get an indictment from grand
jury in Whatcom county. So again
remembering that Bixby and Hardin
have many enemies among the
members of the Whatcom County
Bar association, they brought the
charges before that body. A sur
prise was In store for the perkins

believe. as have always looked
upon The Times as the champion of
clean politics and the rights of the
people; but still the wrong has been
done and 1t should be corrected.
The facts in the matter are these:
There are only two daily papers in
Bellingham and both are Perkins
papers-the mouthpieces of Big
Business. These papers and their
cohorts for a long time controlled
the Judges, the prosecuting attor-
ney. the sheriff and the commits
sloners of Whatcom county. The
sheriffs office is still in their
hands. But when Bixby and Hardin
and the present board of county
commissioners were elected, they
refused to Bow the knee to Baai.s
SO they were marked for desurtc-
ton. And they were bounded by
the papers and the sheriffs office
until Bixby secured a conviction of
Seafrit, the editor of the papers, for
criminal libel. Since then, the pa
pers have not been slandering so
freely, but have been working
through their agents. In this man
ner they secured a tool" who
would bring charges against Bixby

candidacy of Mrs. G. p. Balabanoff for the school
board haze solved the problem of filling at least
Of the vacancies.
There is unmistakabe sentiment in favor of at

IN Virginia, the Washington Utilities
Company has had the grounds about the
new station at Arlington Junction graded

Several years ago the grounds at the
