unless she worries.
Would she have Seattle go back to private ownership
Would she have go back to the days when we were
treated to that almost at point Uf collapse,
When extensions and improvements not alone were never
undertaken but hoped for? Would she
have go back to management under private capital
Mat would today certainly mean at least 7-eent fare
These practical questions. We have no quarrel win

Why the cost of paving traction streets borne

If>you want the known facts about Boil
shevism write to the Institute of Public
Service. 81 Chambers St, New York, and
ask for the pamphlet "Teachable Facts
About Bolshevism."
Don't guess. Find out. There is more
plain and artificial lying done about Russia
nowadays than about anything else in the
days news.
Here are some known facts; many others
are given in the pamphlet referred to.
! /. Bolshevism was born in Russia, whose
population Is three-fourths illiteiate, and
wholly unused to self government.
2. Whatever the Theory may be, in
Practice it means a control of the govern
ment by violence by a minority.
3. Bolshevism. or Sovietism, which is 4
more accurate title, is not at all like
Democracy, for it means the choosing of
rulers by occupational representation (from
the various trades and groups Of workers)
and not geographical representation.
4. 1t is not Socialism. 1t is repudiated
by the leading Socialists. Mr.. Hoover says
it is "the BANKRUPTCY of Socialism in theory
and practice
5. Its leaders, Lenine and Trotsky, have
as much power as the Car ever had, and
use 1t as automatically.
9. The starvation and misery of Russia
is not due to the Allied Blockade but to the
utter breakdown of production and trans
portatlon under Boshevist government.
Z Bolshevist Russia has repudiated the
national debts. 1t has destroyed the value
oil paper money by printing billions of
