Utility Bonds

The very erudite editor of Tacoma daily which
is desperately fearful that the people may choose
to take over the control of the street railways
which they now support but do not control is max
ing some more strange discoveries.
He has convinced himself that there is no such
thing as utility bond, and can be no such thing
The very idea, he asserts-calmly ignoring facts,
the law and the news stories in his own columns
is nonsense" He goes ON:
Either proposed credit
the bonds will be merely pieces Of engraved with
imbece their bonds which
Of the
practically
city behind them all become Liable to make the deficit
In operating expenses and interest.
And yet every well informed Tacoman will recall
that within recent months we have built one munic
ipal line with these very same bonds, that mag
nificent light plant was financed in the same way,
and that we drink water every day from plant
bought with utility bonds.
In not one of those is the bond lien to any
extent whatever on the City of Tacoma; they are
lien only the receipts of their respective plant.
That anybody should attempt to arise at this late
day, when the legality and good standing Of these
bonds is everywhere recognized and after they have
been repeatedly sustained by the courts, to deny
their very existence is no compliment to the pub
lie intelligence. The editor might as well attempt
to demonstrate there is no such thing as street
car.
The whole truth is such bonds would be no bur-
den on the city. They would be burden only on
the street car passengers, and these passengers
right today and for many years past have been car
rying identcally the same burden plus others.

Every year the already enormous

II you breathe Hyomei daily as

1t won't cost you a cent.
II you have a hard rubber Hyomei

house, get 1t out and start it at once
to forever rid yourself of catarrh.

or any other good druggist, will sell
you a bottle Of Hyomei (liquid) :,
