There SURE IS
ASCRE w LOOSE:
LOOK IT over!

There's loose screw rattling around in the
think box of that special committee of special
interest pleaders that is busy knocking the
municipal car line project.
They insist in one breath that the municipal
car line will be money loser, therefore the city
had better pay the Stone Webster outfit for put
ting in the line, and at the same time they de-
clare the poor workingman will spend $4,000
"A. R. Titlow makes it even $36, ,O00-to ride on
the municipal line each year.
If the workingmen do pay this 100000 to ride
then how is the city going to have deficit?
That would be enough to pay operation and pay
a dividend of 20 per cent at least on the invest
ment It would give the city a revenue per car
mile three times as big as the best paying line
the Stone Webster interests have now in Ia
coma and they admit Sixth avenue, Point De-
fiance, South Tacoma and Bismarck lines pay.
The arguments of the enemies of municipal
ownership are just the same as they used against
the municipal power plant the municipal dock
and every other measure which the people have
put through to free themselves.
If the people had listened to this element Ia
coma would not have the Nisqually power
power plant today and would not be selling
electric current the cheapest of any city in the
United States.

I Thersare fourteen men in this picture. Eleven of

sof the picture is the cold heartedness of it ALL
There isn't any sign of hate anger shown by any

The officer with the uplifted sword has no personal
