~ TAX-PAYING PUBLIC
Facts of Vital Interest to
- Everybody in Georgia
\
Trying to Repeat Seattle
~ Fiasco at the Expens«
‘ of Tax Payers
| P SIS Er
~ Just about one year ago the City of
Eiattle bought the Electric Street
ilway operating on its streets, be
tause the Street Railway Company
eould not continue operating its ears
at 5 cent fares, and wecre prevented
from increasing fares to meet in
creased expenses, and because the ad
yocates of Municipal Ownership as
sured the public that the Comwuany
was making enormous profitr and
were exaggerating the expewr , of
'Dperation. The City chose thr ac
countants that the advocates of “iuni
cipal Ownership selected to aprraise
the value of the property.
$15,600,000 for Car Lines
Their accountants found that the
street ecar lines in the City of Seattle
'had cost in money, actually cosi—
' $15,000,000.00 ‘
The City paid for the Street Rail
way by an issue of bonds amounting
to $15,000,000.00, bearing 5% per an
num interest. ¢
- 'The Cily commenced operating the
Street Railway without any taxes to
pay; with no legal expenses to pay,
because the City Attorney’s Office
hancdled the legal business; with
practically no damage suits to pay,
‘as nobody could sugcessfully co{le::t
’ damages fro;? the City. .
Car Fares Advanced
~ After a short expericnce in operat
"ing the street cars at 5 cents the
farce was =z.vanced to 10c¢ cash with
tickets at tlice, but still the defici
continued to pile up, and the service
cenitinued to become worse.
The Mayor and Council are now
conzidering an advaince in the street
car iare to 10 cenis cash with
tickets at 8 1-Be. This increase is
gending and probably will be adopted,
ut even it will only postpene ta:
final complete breaking of the system,
because of incompetent political’ man
agement. The Municipal Street Rail
- ways are now $370,000.00 behind, and
after December 10th, 1920, tkeir em
;ployees are to be paid by the issuance
of City warrants; there will be an
radditional defcit January Ist, 1922,
‘of $1,610,452.00.
1 Sick oi Their Bargain
! The City of Scattle, represented by
'its Mayor and Council, have recently
been trying to get the original owners
to take back the street railway sys
tem and return the honds which the
City paid them. Suggestions that
legal proceedings be instituted to
force the original owners to do so are
ldiscouraged by the City Attorney,
only because such an effort is in his
opinion illegal.
In the meantime the street car ser
‘vice :is curtailed, and the public is
!inconvenienced.
. The irresponsible agitators who ad
vocated the purchase of the street
.railway by the City of Seattle have
‘lost nothing, and they cannot be
. prosecuted or punished, or sued for
,damages, for misleading ithe public
by their false statements as to the
results of Municipal operation, but
the citizens of Seattle have before
them years of heavy taxation to take
care of interest and the constantly
increasing deficit caused by giving
street car service at less than cost,
and it will each day, each month and
each year, continue to cost more an
the service will continue to get worse.
Experiment a Failure
Seattle’s experiment in Mulfi/cipal
Ownership is a miserable Afailure.
The peogle awere first bitteres
,against the Street Car mpany by
. falsehoods and then the advocates of
' Municipal Ownership wére able to ac
' complish their design/which was anc
always will be to, “Exploit the Pub
lic”. The\ ultimaté and secret creed
of these pPeople /is to destroy the
American systgim of Govermment and
substitute wlism, and in Seattld
they were cunning enough to induci
the weople to furnish them the money
to ¥ork with.
' #pend State’s Money Instead
of Their Own
Thke same brand of cunning so
cialists are preaching the same docs
trine in Georgia, and they are plan
ning to get ten times as much of tht
public money ‘as their brethren ‘got in
Seattle. They call it State and Muni:
cipal Ownership. They tell you of
the water power development they
would undertake with the Seate’)
money, but they don’t tell you of any
water power that they are going t
develop with their own money.
Their maps show many thousand
of horse power in Georgia yet unde
veloped. Why do they come begging
the State to allow them to rais thi
Treasury and use the money of thi
tax Y‘uyers for tkeir experiment ii
socialism?

OFFICIALS BE SAFER
IN A MACON C{\PITOL?
ATLANTA, March 7—Will the
capitol removal question be injected
into the next session of the legislature
as the result of attacks now being
made on the State Railroad Commis
sion?
It appears so; in fact, it may be
sated as a certainty. And this time
North Georgia may not be able to be
present, a solid phalanx against South
Georgia, which is so strongly lined up
in the interest of Macon. 1
The socialistically inclined element
in Atlanta will have itself to blame if]
the capitol removal fight is put upon‘
the legislative boards next June, |
Articles appearing in several North‘
Georgia newspapers set out that a
sentiment is being spread over thej
section to move the capitol to prevent
the re-occurance of attacks on state
officers by an Atlanta element which
happens to be displeased over decis
ions..
Several members of the legislature
who have always opposed capitol re
‘moval are now ready to oin South
Georgia and vote in favor of it, giving
as their reason that they are everlast
ngly wearied over the constant hound
ing of the state bodies by Atlanta in
terests.
Recent decisions by the State Rail
road Commission in increasing rates
both for telephones and gas have been
made the basis of a fight which is
now being waged in some quarters of
Atlanta against the Railroad Com
~mission. This, it is- pointed out, is
just another instance of how things
go when a particular element in Atlan
ta has been displeased.
Said one !well-known law-maker,
whose name for obvious reasons is
withheld: .
“It is time to call a halt on some of
the tactics adopted by a certain ele
ment in Atlanta. Here they are ready
to lop off the heads of a state body
elected by the whole state btcause
that body, acting from the best mo
tives and a sense of duty, renders a
decision that does not please them. It
is nothing more than straight out in
timidation. The same thing has been
noticed in more or less degree in the
past in the case of other state house
officers and departments. These men
are put there by the voters of the en
tire State of Georgia, and if they can
not perform their duties in peace it is
high time that we carried them to
Macon_.__the center of the State,
where they will at least not be so close
in person to the chronic kickers,
There is a decent way to do things.
‘Some of the “Reds”, Bolshevicks” and
i“Howling Dervishes” in Atlanta ought
' to be muzzled.”
