example in giving starvation
wages to the vast body of en-
ployes who do the real work.
The object of the government
not being to earn big salaries
and dividends on an eight-fold
watered stock, it could and
would pay a living wage to the
operators. Besides the increased
business would largely increase
the pay of postmasters at coun-
try postoffices.
6. The operators would have
some fxity of tenure, being post
masters, and hence not liable to
be turned out for voting their
choice. In the last campaign,
we know that heavy pressure
was brought to bear upon the
employees of the great corpora
tions, but public sentiment
would not have permitted the
postoffice officials to apply the
same pressure to postmasters.
7. Messages would be, like
the mails, more secret. Now the
business of every man is at the
mercy of the heads Of a private
corporation, which is IN no wise
subject to the control of public
opinion: ...
8. 1t would emancipate the
press, which is now in the power
Of the private companies and
must take such news as they
send, and dare not be free in dis
cussing certain questions.
s. The cheap rates would en-
able every weekly paper to take
telegraphic dispatches. This
would benefit printers and the
public by starting new papers
and extending the circulation of
old ones. In England, when the
government took over the tele-
graphs and adopted cheap rates,
the number Of press dispatches
instantly increased thirty-fold,
not thirty per cent. merely, but
thirty times the former number.
10. All other countries prac-
tically, except Canada, have the
telegraph and telephone oper-
ated by the government and at
low rates, and in all it has been
a success for the government and
a vast benefit to the public. We
claim to be a business people,
but we are guilty Of the absurd
ity of turning over the best pay
ing part of the postofice-the
quick, rapid electric mail-to
private companies and operate
the slow, non-paying' part by
the public at loss, of course.

ber of Offices, of course, would to

TWELVE REASONS
Whv the POStOffiCe Should Oper-
2 ate the Telegraph and
Telephones.
By Chief Justice Walter Clark, of
Supreme Bench of North
Carolina.

/ Among the many reasons why
the telegraph and telephones
should be owned and operated
exclusively by the postoffice
there are no less than twelve of
such weight that any one of
them should be sufficient to
cause the adoption of that meas
ure by congress:
1. The constitution requires
it. That instrument (Art. l.,
sec. 3 places the establishment
of postal facilities exclusively in
the government. Under that
provision, originality the mail
was carried on horseback, then
by stage coach, then with the
advent of steam it was carried
by railroad and steamboat.
When messages began to be sent
by electricity the government
(1844-47) therefore logically
adopted and operated the tele-
graph. When in a fit ofeconomy
it was turned over to private
corporations, Henry Clay, the
great Wing leader, and Cave
Johnson, the democratic post,
master general, earnestly op-
posed this unconstitutional ac-
ton. Leading men in all parties
since, including five democratic
postmasters general, have en-
deavored to restore the electric
mail to the postofice, but the
powerful telegraph lobby has
been too powerful in congress to
permit vote upon the question,
although sixteen out of eighteen
committees to whom bills for
that purpose have been referred
have reported in favor OF gov
ernmental ownership. One re-
port was non-committal and
only one was adverse.
q: If the government owned
the electric mail, the telegraph
or a telephone would be estab-
lished at each of the $4,000 post
Offices, and, indeed, their number
would be greatly increased,
whereas now the telegraph goes
to only $1,000 selected points,
for the private companies, being
operated purely for profit, nat
ural]y seek only such points as
pay well, while the object of the
government would be to serve
the greatest number ofpeople,
the whole people, if possible, and
at bare cost-no profit being de-
sired. The high rates and re-
stricted number of Offices now
make this great discovery of no
benefit to the great mass of the
people.
3. The government, desiring
only to earn expenses, can give a
uniform low rate of five cents
for ten words between any two
points in the union. This is the
opinion of experts.
4. The government could run
it more cheaply. There would
be no enormous salaries to the
higher officials, nor would great
sums be paid out as now to
maintain a lobby at Washing
ton and at each State capital,
and to retain editors and law
yers to influence public opinion.
Then the government could save
the rent now paid by the CON-
pan1es, as it could use for the
telegraph and telephones the
same buildings it now owns or
rents for postofice purposes at
each point.
5. The government, while not
paying, as the private COM
panies do, enormous sums from
100000 DOWN as salaries to
the higher officials, would on
f. ther hand not follow their

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
City Council Allows Fire Depart
ment Pay Rolls at the
Old Figures.
Engineers Pay Rolls-Effort to
Strike Out Reeds Name
Fails-SpeciaI rleeting.

The present city council has
a marked tendency to put off
disagreeable duties. This dis
position is always more or less
in evidence, but it was especi-
ally prominent Monday night.
The table was cleared of all
minor affairs, but neither the
impeachment of the board of
public works, the reservoir con-
tract nor the water works pur-
chase scheme were permitted
to come squarely on the carpet.
Among the minor matters
discussed were a proposition to
open 24th avenue west from
Michigan street to the water
front, concerning which an
offer was read from Hubbard &
Vincent to make the necessary
improvements if the city would
furnish the right of way; a
communication from DR.. Max
we'll regarding the spread OF
Canadian thist1es and the ap-
pointment of a weed inspector,
which was referred to the COM
mittee on streets; the adoption
of a resolution to pay the Hick-
en- judgment of $240; the re-
ception of the cornptroller's re-
port; the allowance of a large
batch of miscellaneous bills;
the postponement of the dog
license ordinance; the reference
to the police of the kick from
Central Duluth about the wood
piles at Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth avenues west,
and the turning down of the
claim of Bergtold and Cuddie-
bach for the 1oss,in the collapse
of bridge during the recent
flood, of an $50 COW. r., -
The fire department pay rolls
threatened to renew the war
that has heretofore waged with
considerable acrimony; the sal
aries were finally allowed, as
to all except those of the chief,
electrician and secretary, which
went over to the special meet
Ing. "
The board OF health submit
ted an ordinance regulating the
cutting and storing of ice.
Health officer Murray was pres
ent and explained that thepres-
ent law was inadequate. An
effort to put the ordinance on
it's passage was prevented by
an objection from Alderman
Trevillion. -
AS usual the engineers de-
partment furnished the bulk of
the entertainment. The COM
mittee on claims and accounts
reported in favor of paying the
pay rolls for May and June sub
mitted by both Messrs. Patton
and Reed, amounting to 81 1854.
An amendment to pay only Mr..
Patton was lost,6 to g.; another
to refer both back was also lost,
7 to 8; to strike out Mr.. Reeds
name, 6 to 9; to allow both, 8 to
7, and not being majority the
motion failed. Several roll calls
were taken but on the motion
to pay only the Patton pay roll
and to strike out Reeds name
the vote was in both cases as
follows: ...u..-9:
