Do You Want Your Light
Rates Increased?

SEATTLE faces an automatic raise of five per
- cent in electric light rates if there are not
enough Bone Power bill petition signers obtained
TO place that measure on the ballot this fall.
Should the Bone bill fail for want of signatures,
the Reed referendum bill would reap all the re-
suits of the favorable publicity the Bone meas
ure. The outcome would be that the Reed bill
would be approved by the people and would be-
come a law.
The Reed bill is a vicious measure. 1t provides
that any city selling power outside its corporate
limits must pay five per cent tax on all power
sold Seattle and Tacoma sell power outside their
city limits. They would have to Immediately
boost rates five per cent.
OF course the power companies would like to see
tax placed on power sold by Seattle and Tacoma.
That would allow them to increase their rates the
same amount. That may explain why the big
fight against the Bone measure has been to keep
it off the ballot instead of to defeat it at the
election.
Seattle citizens must block this attempt to raise
light rates in this city by law. Seattle citizens
can do this by signing the Bone Power bill petit
TONS If the Bone bill goes on the ballot the Reed
bill will lose
Sign the Bone Power bill today!

PRIVATE SCHOOLS

Editor The star;
From various sources ws learn
that strong campaign Is on In this
state 60 secure a measure by the
vote OF the people TO abolish private
schools
In order that voters may form an
Intelligent opinion on this vital
question. I suggest that everyone
seek a satisfactory answer 10 the
following questions before he signs
initiative petition No. 10.
/. Arc private schools an expense
TO the slater
2. Is tho course Of study in such
schools adverse or deficient as com.
pared with state schools?
2. Are the teachers in private
schools unqualified 10 teach tho
same studies in the public schoolsY
4. Is the moral teaching aud dis.
clpllnc in private schools lacking as
compared with state schools2
8. DO tho students graduated in
private schools compare fayorubly In
mental attainment with those gradu.
ated from schools maintained by the
state7
G. Are the student graduates of
private schools lacking In that which
makes for good citizens OF the state?
Z. Have parents or guardians any
right, inherent or constitutional. in
the educational welfare OF those
depending upon them for support and
Instruction.
