WOULD CUT
MUNYFARES

To aid conductors on the
municipal street railway line in
collecting car fares, Commission
er Atkins suggested to the city
council Monday that the city sell
tickets for scent fares at the rate
of -21 for 81.
This would induce workers in
side the city limits to buy tickets,
and would put an end to the loss
of fares. At present the conduc-
tors are losing hundreds of fares
each day because they cannot col
lect them during the rush.
Il think we'd better go pretty
slow on lowering any fares until
we know whether the line is max
ing a profit" said Gronen. That's
per cent reduction, you know.
Eyes, but we're losing more
than per cent of the fares now,
so we can afford to try this plan, :"
said Atkins.
IF we build a loading station
at 10th and Pacific, it will help
prevent loss of fares" said Faw-
cett.
The council adjourned without
taking any action.

BY G. M. Riddell
Candidate for Mayor.

The voters of Tacoma on
Tuesday will elect mayor for
| the next four years. These four
years give promise of being the
most important period in Taco
mas history.
The greatest army cantonment
in the United States has just been
esta blished at our doors. Vast
shipbuilding plants and other
great manufacturing establish
ments have grown up on our tide
flats within the past few months.
The population of the city is
increasing daily The era of in
dustrial expansion, which we are
experiencing, has just begun.
With this growth and progress
comes a duty to the future. What
kind of city shall we build dur
ing the coming year?
How shall we solve the prob
lens that attend the transition
of a struggling community into
a city of the first rank?
Shall we drift on without defi-
llitc SHdit VI pan, ohopiho oN'
course only as emergency COM
pels us?
No Pawn OF a Faction.
II elected mayor, / pledge my
self to be mayor of the whole
people and not the mayor of any
faction or group. l promise to
bend my best efforts towards
keeping the city SO clean that 1t
shall never become a menace to
the soldiers in training on the
prairies just outside the munich
pal limits.
will endeavor to meet the
questions and problems which will
come up with a forward-lookins
vision and not with eye to the
feuds and foibles of the past.
l will, with the councils help.
try at once to improve the city's
tideflats carline so that 1t may
carry shipyard employees safely
and quickly and in such numbers
that the shipbuilding plants will
be permitted to double their pay
rolls.

pei the T. r. & p. to give ade-
quate street car service.
will cooperate with the gov
eminent in all war measures, par

to stop boot-legging to soldiers.
! After New Industries.
/ | will cooperate with the COM
missioner of public safety to i'm
prove the fire department so as to
eliminate the increase in fire in
surance rates on home and bust

Il will, with the councils help,
do all in my power to keep wa
ter, electric light and power rates
as low as is consistent with good
business management.

believe that the machinery OF
government should be so run that
the greatest good may result TO
the greatest number. To my
mind. this is not only the legiti-
mate function of government, but
the real and only basis for it's ex-
istence. want to see the munich
pal machinery made to serve the
people so that our humblest citi-
zen is made to feel that the city
is his friend, and is helping him
carry his burdens.
Government - municipal, state
and nationals coming into clos
er relationship with the average
citizen. The strength and intelli-
gence of government is being turn
ed to solution of the problems
of the everyday citizen. A new
governmental philosophy has come
into existence. 1t Is SERVICE.
And l am in hearty accord with
the changing order of things.
An Ancient Graft.
In connection with our local
needs, ] want to see home owners
protected from extortionate paw
ing and street charges. Let Ia
coma follow the example Of other
great cities and LAY paving for
its people AT COST. 1t takes but
a few cheap tools to do this work.
Why huge profits to an alien cor
poration? This ancient graft needs
a solar plexus blow.
| want to see a public market

bring producer and consumer to-
gether. No clique Of landlords
should be permitted to levy
tribute upon such a market. Mr..
Hoover is urging this very thing
as a patriotic duty. To adopt 1t

best to secure that very thing. AS

and out of season for home rule
for cities of the first class in this
state, so that city officials could
force good service.
/ want to see the purchasing of
supplies for all departments of the
city made thru a central agency.
The practice of each department
buying it's own supplies is waste
full and breeds extravaganza. All
cost accounts should be open to
public inspection.
l want to see publicity given TO
all matters affecting the public.
Star chamber proceedings smack
of corruption. In publicity there
is safety-for the public.
And last, but far from least,

R|DDELL, SHOEMAKER AND HARRISON
GIVE some "PUNCHY' REASONS WHY
THEY SHOULD Be ELECTED TO COUNCIL
BY Fred Shoemaker

Candidate for Councilman
The greatest question be-
fore Tacoma today Is the part
we are to play in winning the
world war; the furnishing Of
men and ships.
The men from Camp Lewis
must go to France, fit in ev-
cry respect to meet the Hun.
The keeping of Tacoma clean
has become more than a mat
ter of self interest. 1t has
become a great patriotic
duty.
The furnishing Of ships stands
only second to the furnishing of
men. We must see that every
facility is rendered by the city
for the building of ships. There
must be no further delay.
Adequate transportation for
workmen and materials must be
provided. This also is more than
matter of self interest, it is a
patriotic duty.
On the western battle front
the allied council has given place
to a single head, Gen. Foch.
In the United States the rail-
roads of the country have been
placed under single executive,
Secretary McAdoo.
Efficiency, the elimination of
friction, of waste, is the watch
word of the day.
Tacoma must also move for
ward and arrange her government
on more efficient lines. Central
ization of management and GEN.
tralization of purchasing mean the
elimination of friction and waste.
In the election Tuesday choose
men who advocate progress. Ia
coma has tsood still long enough.
This is not time for waste, for
friction, for quarreling. Every
energy must be devoted to the de-
velopment of Tacoma.
