AFTER MANY YEARS
By E.T. SHORT

MAYOR. L. D. Campbell came TO
grief largely because he At
tempted to encourage a COM
petitor. the Snoquaimie Falls
Power company. to bid against
the T. r. 4 P. for the city
power business. Though that
was a losing fight It laid the
foundation on which Fsweett
again returned to the mayors
chair. was able 10 start what
has developed into the great
municipal enterprise that is Ia
coma's light and power depart
ment.
Being on one side OF the
power issue has ended many
promising political career; be-
ing on the other side has made
a career.
A former mayor of Seattle
whose political future was
bright, passed out of the pic
ture when he removed the late
J. ID. Ross a. superintendent
of the Seattle light DEPART
ment.
Homer 7. Bone was just an
other young attorney when he
began to espouse the cause OF
public ownership of electric
power. He is now in the
United States senate.
In this connection it Is in
teresting to note that Wendell
L. Wilkie, the dark horse who
is causing some concern among
other Republican presidential
candidates, is an electric power
man. He came into the business
when he was chosen TO take the
management of Commonwealth
& Southern, a syndicate operat-
ing power plants in the east,
middle west and south. When he
came into the picture in 1884,
Commonwealth & Southern was
struggling under a net loss OF
about a million and a half
year.
In three years he had chang
ed the loss into a net profit
Of several million annually.
Besides turning a loss into a
profit. he reduced the cost of
electricity TO consumers until
Commonwealth had the lowest
average rate and the highest
domestic consumption of any
of the major utilities.
In the course of his opera
tons he struck a snag in the
New Deal program for public
ownership of power in the south.
He made deal by which the
government obtained a block of
the Commonwealth business in
Tennessee but said hands off on
the rest Of it.
The power deal made Mr..
Wilkie a national figure. More
and more people are hearing
about him every day. Wheth-
er or not he Is on the right
side of the power deal from
the vote getting standpoint
remains to he seen,

DEVIEWING the career Of Ira
us. DAWSON. Just retired after
% years as manager Of Tacoma's
two important utilities. water
and light, viii recall to old
timers some OF the strenuous
DAYS when the foundations were
being laid for the splendid de-
velopment of the past two dec
AIDES.
Tacoma first began rowing
over the water supply more
than so years ago when all the
housewives, following the long
established tradition of doing
the family washing Monday
morning, drained the city's
only water tank and there was
no water left for the wash
room of the Fife hotel.
Years later when the city
bought a water and light sys-
TEN established by group of
Philadelphia capitalists. the deal
was in the courts several years.
After spending considerable
sum on attorney fees the city
finally won an adjustment on
some electric power junk and
sources of water supply which
did not measure up to the con-
tract.
About the time the case was
disposed OF Mayor A. V. Fight
in " Fawcett came into the pic
ture and promoted fight with
the Tacoma Railway & Power
company which was wholesaling
electric power to the city.
The two interests seemed
unable to get together and
Faweett brought the issue to
a head by starting out early
one morning with an AK squad
and chopping down some of
the company's power poles.
That serious damage might be
caused chopping down the
poles carrying live wires didn't
make any difference to Fight
in Fawcett. He was the
peoples protector" standing
between them and the power
trust"
