When writing advertisers mention Advocate

equally SO for the states special agent,
the railroad company, to do the same
thing. It is absurd to assume that the
employment Of an agent by q principal
to do anything changes the original
character Of the undertaking.
The corporation which used the
streets Of Kansas City in supplying her
with water did 30 under q contract
which constituted it a public agent,
therefore If it will be "pure socialism"
for Kansas City to furnish her citizens
with water through and by her ordinary
agent the municipal government, it was
none the less socialism TO provide the
water through her special agent, the
water company. In that contract the
consideration on the part of the city was
the grant Of right to use the streets, and
the delegation OF our power Of taxation,
on the part Of the water company, to
furnish water.
You ask with what show Of consist
ency then, can the Kansas City papers
advocate the municipal ownership OK
the city water works and oppose the
further application Of the same prlnci-
pie to other monopolies by which the
people are subjected to equal or greater
RbusesY
StRGe created monopalies should al
ways be the property Of the state, and
DO managed by her government. For
state or municipality to create q monop-
oily and intrust it's management to pri-
vste individuals or corporations is q vi
cious practice which cannot be corrected
too soon, because it substantially con-
verts public monopoly, whose advan-
tRges, il there are any, are impsrtislly
distributed for public benefit into the
most odiOus form Of private monopoly
in which the advantages are largely di-
Verted into the possession of few.
There never can be more solid ground
for political party TO stand on than to
insist that nation, state and municipal
ity shall never undertake that which is
properly private business, or farm out
its own. The weakness Of the Populist
party is that it has not taken q higher
stand on these points than its competit-
ors. LEX.

fGir to make comparison lI1tb 1891
as q republican administration aChen
the conditions iUere eTactly reversed,
and the republicans had the governor
and senate, aad the PopWltsts had
the house. THIS is fairer to repwbH-
cans than PopWlEstS because in 1891
Popuhsts aUere demanding retrencb-
ment and pCere 1Uilling to assist re-
pubhcanS to economjze, tVhile IN 1898
republicans obstructed PopWlists both
as to economy and legislation.
Republicans raise the point in italic-
lied words that mo legislature since re-
form came in has appropriated a dollar
for continuing work on the state house"
and that therefore they should have
credit on this item. Very well, l am
glad you raised the question Of state
house expenditures. 1t may yet be nec-
essary to give the people some interest
ing reading about the state house con-
tracts and show them how $4,000, 900
state house building has cost already
$2680,52736 and it is estimated by the
state board OF public works that it will
take 100000 to complete it. In 1891
there was appropriated for completion Of
the state house $62,5OO, (Which is q small
amount when you are figuring republi-
can extrsvsgsnce anyhow Then say
we charge the Populists with $4,000 for
deficiency bills from the legislature of
1893, and they will not exceed that
amount. Then suppose in order to be
fair beyond question that we allow the
republicans further credit Of 100000
for any other iteus which may have
been overlooked IN this comparison and
we have $232, 800 of credit for the re-
publicans which will be deducted in the
table farther on.
Now, on the Populist side nothing has
been said about the railroad assessment,
which was equslized by the present Pop,
ulist board of railroad assessors, 80 Rs to
correspond with other property Of the

even, the tax collected annually from
this differenc of railroad assessment is
1861 ,42720, and in two years it amounts
to the magnificent sum Of $722,854 40
saved to the common people and tax
payers who have heretofore borne this
burden. 1t is matter Of business with
railroads to get their assessments reduced
if they can. The trouble has been with
former state officials.
There has not been tax levy made
by the board of equalization since 1890
for the completion Of the state house,
and it will therefore be fair to compare
1893 with 1891 as the same items were
covered each year by the levy. The levy
OF 1891 was 3 and ninsteen-twentieths |
mills, from which deduct and sixteen
twentisths mills, the levy for 1893, leaves

State and Oity Ownership.

OF November 20 makes surprising com
ment on the movement Of the citizens o
Kansas City to dispense with the ser
vices Of the special agent which hal
hitherto been employed by that city tx
to provide the water supply. Conced
that the principle involved in this case
embraces all the questions concerned ir
exclusive state ownership. and govern
ment operation of railroads, it never has
been and cannot be shown that such
ownership and operation is at all social.
istic. The notion that it would be, has
been persistentlY lnsinusted by those
directly or indirectly benefciaries Of the
farming out system Of doing public bus
iness; but they have been careful not to
undertake to explain how it would be 80.
That populists have countenanced their
assertion is eXplRinable by the fact that
some Of the Populist propositions are
really socislistic. 1t is no excuse that
the older parties have favored protective
tariffs, bounties, subsidies, loans and do
nations Of public money, property, and
credit. the money or attachment of the
postoAice, and postal savings banks, all
Of which are pRternslistic.
1t is certainly psternslism for the
state to do anything for the people which
they can do for themselves without her
interference. But there are some things
necessary to be done which must d.
rectlY or indirectly be done by the state
IT done at all. Among these things are
always such as require the exercise Of
the power Of eminent domain which is
the state 3 alone. No one will deny that the
agent for the performance Of
the functions Of the state ia her govern
ment, for that purpose alone govern
ments are created, and it is only neces-
ssry to decide what those functions are,
to determine the scope Of governmental
power and duty.
AS to railroads Justice Bradley, of the
United States Supreme Court says:
"When q railroad is chartered 1t is for
the purpose Of performing duty which
belongs to the state" In Olcott vs.. the
that court held, whether
the use Of railroad is q public or pri-
Vste one depends in no measure upon
the question who constructed it or who
OWNS it 1t has never been considered
of any Importance that the road was
built by the agency Of private corpora
lion. No matter who is the agent function
performed is that Of the state" In the
case Of the Wabash Railroad company
7s. Illinois that court used the following
language. ain modern times it is true
government is in the habit in some coun-
,ries Of letting out the construction Of
important highways requiring large
expenditures Of capital to agents gen.
'rally corporate bodies created for the
purpose and giving them the right Of
,axing those who travel or transport
yoOds thereon as q means Of obtainiI 2
for their outlay"
Here are distinct and authoritative as
1ertions Of the highest court that it is
both the duty and function Of the state

efforts Of the former superintendent and
employees to keep pupils away under this

October this year was $2,9232 %, leaving

In our comparison we have confined
ourselves to state matters entirely. A
fine showing in favor Of the Populists
can be made in almost all Of the coun-
ties where Populist county officers have
had control. Iwould refer our readers
to Sedgwick as one Of those counties.
Neither have we taken credit for the
action Of the Populist board of railroad
commissioners for reducing the freight
rates to Wichita about % per cent, on
agricultural implements, which will re-
suit in q reduction to other points in the
state.
Reader, We can give the republicans
an additional 100000, yes another $780,
900, and still another 100000, and then |
save to the people Of Kansas that princsly |
sum OF over 100000 during the pres.
