The Seattle Electric is today trying to get control of the
city's light plant. DM Mayor Gill remove the superintendent
who had played into the hand- of the power-light monopoly?
No. QUI didn't do this. Arm* is still on the job.
" . It's all right, gentlemen and four-flushers, to go after the
Crawford railroad and bring it to nine The Star is heartily
in favor of thia. If Crawford won't run his railroad in accord
ance with the law, and in the spirit of serving the people, then
let the city take his road from him
That's all right. Fine business. The Star is for it strong.
Hut don't let .in of those 1. flushing officials pal these
selves on th. back as loyal servants of the people till they have
gone after big game.
Just fit- more point. One councilman rushed out 1.1-.1
night with .1 denial that the attack on Crawford was designed
to help the Furth monopoly,
"we'll try public operation of the road." he said. "If it
isn't a success, it will be time enough then (6 think ot selling it
TO ANOTHER COMPANY."
Well, wait a minute. Who would buy that road _ Gill
should borrow another Richard M. Arms from the S. ___, Co., and
found that a municipal plant was unprofitable?
Who'd buy il?
The Associated Charities?
No, Johnny, that isn't right.

Fine. Anaitasia guessed it right.
