call scores of roads, which, after pas
sing into the control of the public
through its receiver, paid its debts,
and at the same time, made better
compensation and shorter time to its
employees. The public employs
Judge Jenkins at $4,000 a year, and he
operates the Northern Pacific as we'll
as CLANCY DePew, does the New
York Central, at 100000 year.
Public ownership gives the public
better service and at less cost
Public ownership gives employees
less hours of toll, at better compensa-
ton, and employs more persons.
Public ownership does away with
the disproportion of rewards as be-
tween stockholders and workmen.
Public ownership destroys the GEN.
tralization of wealth, and diminishes
public corruption, by removing the
incentive to procure legislation look
ing to the interest of stockholders in
stead of for the public good.

To the Ladies of Cresco.

While we may not all have relatives
most of US have dear friends whose
last resting place is our beautiful Oak
Lawn Cemetery, made beautiful by
the earnest endeavors and untiring
efforts of the ladies of the Womans'
Improvement Association. 1t would
seem as though every lady ought to
feel personal interest in this work,
knowing it has been planned and exc
cuted by WOMEN, and that it would
be her pleasure as we'll as her duty to
help us all she could. Will you all
come to Mrs. Platt's, Wednesday,
March 8, at half past two o'clock in
the afternoon and her the reports of
the Secretary and Treasurer in regard
to work done in the past year. Come
ladies and see what little help from
each one will do towards helping us
in the coming year.

Some Comparisons.

AS the question of putting in an
electric light plant in connection with
our water works, is to come before
the people to be voted upon at the
next election, it is opportune that az
much light as possible be thrown up
on the subject, to the end that the
electors may vote intelligently and
wisely. Our opinion is and has been
that it would have been better to
have let the matter rest until we had
paid off q large portion of the water
works debt, and then put in plant
of sufficient power to operate a line
motor railway which should take in
Riceville or Elma, Usage and Mason
City, giving us thus connection with
seven lines of railway, with the ad-
vantages of freight and passenger
traffic with them ALL
But the action of the City council
calls for decision of the question
now, which renders it important that
the question be considered in all it's
varied phases. If the proposition is
voted down, some private corpora
tion will seek to obtain the franchise
to put in the plant, and furnish the
lights at a stipulated price for Sc
ries of years, probably not less than
twenty, the lights to be taken by the
city and paid for by taxes, levied up
on the property owners, adequate to
operate the plant, if owned by the
city.
A few comparisons between the ex-
pense at private and public owner
ship, is a very good test of their re-
spective merits.
Under private ownership, Bangor,
Maine, paid $3.50 per lamp per year:
under public ownership for the same
service, Bangor pays s4S per year.
Under private ownership Lewis
ton, Maine, paid $ls2 per lamp per
year; under public ownership, for the
same service, Lewiston pays $55 per
year.
Under private ownership, Elgin,
Illinois, paid $206 per lamp per year;
under public ownership, Elgin OBJ
tains the same service for $43 per
year.
Under private ownership, Fairfield,
Iowa, paid 1878 per lamp per year
under public ownership, Fairfield OBJ
tains that same service for $40 per
year.
Under private ownership, MARSHALL
town, Iowa, paid $125 per lamp pei
year; under public ownership, Mar
sholltown obtains the same service
for $27 per year.
4 But why multiply comparisons
when they all tend in the same direc
ton. When private ownership wrecks
a great railroad, few months o.
public control builds it up and the
government receiver is discharged
and the road is again putin control o.
