KEEP DEBT MAKING POWER IN
YOUR OWN. HANDS.

The growth Of public debt and
taxes OF American cities during the
last ten years has been astonishing
The mortgage debt OF the cities
more than doubled in the ten years
ending with 1912. and taxes incress-
ed proportionately.
The Financial World says:
Public debts have been In
creased at frightful rate and
the modest batallions Of public
servants Of few years ago are
now great armies which clamor
at the public crib for more and
more"
Public debt Is . mortgage % al
the people Of the comnsnity. o.
twenty year bond as much or more
is paid out In interest as for the
principal.
A $4,000 twenty year bond issue
at per cent means final payment Of
$l65,0UO In actual cash.
The average municipal plant in
the United States does not pay either
bond interest or principal. Both
commonly come out OF the taxpayers
The erroneous, amateur estimates
OF the expenses and income OF a mu-
nicipal electric plant in La Junta are
a worthless protection for the tax
payers.
Operating results OF municipal
plant are at best uncertainties, but
there Is nothing uncertain in the
identity of those who will make up
the plants lossess-;he taxpayers.
Votes Tor the bond Issue are being
sought Uh the argument that the
bond issue Is needed n y club over
the Light aud Power Company-thAt
perhaps" the bonds will never be
issued.
Don't you think II is best to keep
the debt and mortgage making pow
er in your own hands. Mr.. Taxpayer?
Have you ever noticed politicians
failing to issue bOads which prOStd.
e<i g,s,i political Jobs and salaries?
Isn't the State Utility Commission
a pretty good club over the Light
and Power Company. and far cheap
er than $4,000 mortgage debt!
And do not these pleas for voter
for the bond issue Indicate lack Oi
confi,I~sce In their municipal plaat
proposition?
