as the mayor is concerned.
For the council we have Rasmus

Here's this: Walwick and Jor-

The city taxes are much too lofty.
Business propositions will be side
tracked every time that a glance is
given at the schedule Of demands
that the city, makes. Taxes, local

by bureaucrats who have no more

Tacoma's rates are the most reason

There are water mains to put in,
sewers to lay and streets to put
in at the lower end of the city.
And the lower section of town
should be represented in the council.
We would favor Andrew Johnson
as councilman, too, but for the
work to do it calls for unbroken at
tendance at council meetings, and
we are afraid that Mr.. Johnson
will be absent a great portion of
the summer. Most of the time the
councils of the past have been rep
resentatives of the Trading Union
instead Of the city. Otherwise good
men have been led aside of city
welfare through their interests in
the concern they are stockholders
in. That is our only fault to find
with Chris Gronseth. He is stock
holder In the Trading Union Will
he listen to the Trading Union be-
fore he gives an ear to the city?
In asking this question it is better
to explain that In the past, Trading
Union politics have been-and are
narrow and selfish. Out

should be some one big enough to

of the foot tracks Of the federal

It Wouldn't be tolerated for minute

A SEATTLE PAPER HELPS US


Howell of Nebraska, got up on the
Senate floor and belittled the All
aska railroad He, also, said very
uncomplimentary things about Al
aska in general.
This all came up on debate over
railroad appropriations, and Howell
was strong in condemning the sys-
tenn, (railroad). He attempted to
amend the Interior Department Ap-
preparation Bill 80 that the road
from Fairbanks to Chatinaka, and
from Seward to Anchorage be cut
out entirely-or turned over to pri-
vate capitalists.
The Seattle Daily Times, in a re-
cent issue, came to the rescue or
Senator Willis, of Ohio, who was
keen in the defence of Alaska and
the road as a whole. The Times
cuffed the ears Of Jones and Dill,
of Washington, for their acQuiesence
in the Howell TRADE through silence.
It also slapped Senators Howell,
Borah, Brookhart, Heflin, LaFollette,
Fraser, Wheeler and Nye for advo-
eating practical destruction of the
road on which the people of the
nation have spent $eO,OOo.000.
Economy of administration is one
thing and the slashing Of appropria-
tions by the enemies Of the terri
tory is another. The former calls
fer careful and just management,
the other for obstruction and even
tual abandonment
Beneath the surface the Howell
amendment is nothing more nor less
than the making of hand hold to
fit the grasp of private ownership,
and a bunch of those ready to d.
the grasping is the very wealthy
Fairbanks EXpIUratIon ana cola
Mining Company.
1t is true enough that the Alaska
road has cost us a lot of money.
It stands us larger sum than ii
probably should have, but much Of
the time the road was under con-
struction, and even since it has been
in commission it has been in the
hands of it's enemies. That is, the
aim has been to linger along, pile
up expense and create an anti-gov-
ernnent-ownership feeling This
would lead eventually to giving
up of the whole affair. Then after
the rails got a might rusted and
there was general atmosphere of
abandonment a coterie of financial
pirates would make a SMALL wee
small offer for the layout, the gov.
eminent would willingly accept and
we'd make an involuntary gift of
the road, rolling stock and all to
Wall Street for, maybe, a twentieth
OF its value.
This has been done many times
before. The history of railroads in
the States is running over with gov
eminent handouts to private cap
ital, shady land grants, actual gifts
and weird wizardry in railroad
transfers. Are the American people
as green now az they used to be?
Are they going to allow another one
Of those queer deals to be slipped
ovef on 'em and allow private greed
to fatten again at government ex-
pense?
We will have to keep our eyes
open for that very move is in the
making right now. At every op-
portunity a bulkhead of ties will
be piled up on the tracks of the AL
aska railroad, fguratively and lit
orally, to darw close the day when
the government will talk discourag-
ingly Then there'll be back alley
conferences between the plumber
bund and the agents of the gov
eminent. It will be the beginning
Of the end, and take this right now,
