thousand different ways, In the

can be no question Of the honesty
and integrity Of each member on the
herch. II We will entrust these
judges. elective oficers, with our
liberty and our property. why not
trust them TO give the city . fair
deal in fixing the price to be paid for
the d. U. r. system?
The voters will be called upon to

by the judges. II the voter wants

Il realize that the present low rate
OF fare that Mayor Marx obtained

long way towards hrshing the grum-

pay it's obligations under the terms
of the contract without embarrass-
Ing the city's credit or burdening the
taxpayer. To insure the success of
municipal operation. we must have
men like Couzens. Dodge and Wilkie
in active charge of our railway sys-

salaries high enough to attract the
most competent railway men to our
city. Maybe, some Of the present
