Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-03

1t is forcgone conclusion that
Omaha will at no distant day enter
upon the experiment Of municipal own
crship of public utilities. Water, light
and power have become indispcnsa-
bic factors in the evolution of modern
cities. The trend of public sentiment
unqucstionably favors the operation Of
water works, gas works and electric
light and power plants by the city in
stead of depending for these utilities
upon frnnchised corporations.
The problem that confronts our pco-
PIE is how and when to begin and what
course to pursue that will insure for
the city and its residents the full ben
efts of public utilities at the lowest
cost. In every city where the expert
ment of public ownership has been tried
under favorable conditions results have
the public at large.
To make the conditions fair the pur-
chase price for water, gas and electric
light plants must be reasonable, other
wise the fixed charges, represented by
interest on the capital invested, would
be excessive and make it impossible to
cheaper the supply of light, power or
water. In other words, the most diff
cult problem with which we shall be
compelled to wrestle in dealing with
municipal ownership is the first cost
of the works, which the city will be
obliged either to buy or erect
Next to that will come the economic
management of the works That sub
ject however, will not trouble Omaha
until it has possession of the plants
which its municipal government will
be expected to manage.
1t goes without saying that municipal
ownership will be one of the subjects
of controversy in the coming city cam
paign. a full discussion of the prob
lens will be instructive. The danger
however, is . that demagogucs and
who expect to ride into
office on the strength of the issue will
throw dust and mud where the peoDle
want light and not heat. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that the campaign of
education on municipal ownership will
not be put off until week before
election when nobody has time to think
and everybody is bound to talk.
Municipal ownership Is a grave ques-
tion, vitality affecting the taxpayers.
1t is in no sense a political issue and
should not be injected into partisan
politics.

GERMAN FRIENDSHIP

The recent manifestations of German
friendship for the United States are
very gratifying, but it cannot be said
that there is favorable promise of its
taking practical form and thus becom-
ing of substantial value by the removal
or modification of the discrimination
against American meats and fruits. Ac-
cording to a dispatch from Berlin the
representative of the German govern
ment who was a short time ago in
Washington on special mission re-
lating to the trade relations of the two
countries in an interview spoke cau-
tiously with reference to commercial
issues, especially the meat and fruit
questions. He remarked, says the dis
patch, that there was n considerable
difference of opinion regarding these
matters and that Germany was still
justly complaining of discrimination
against German sugar.
If Germany is hoping, as intimated,
for change in the sugar schedule of
the American tariff that will remove
the differential duty on sugar from
countries that pay an export bounty and
the removal of discrimination against
American products depends upon this, it
is likely to be long time before there
cal relations between the two coun-
tries. The dfferential duty is regarded
here as an entirely fair offset to the
export bounty and there is no doubt
that it will be maintained so long as
there is any duty on sugar and Ger
many and other sugar-producing coun-
tries continue to pay export bounties.
Moreover, it is necessary to the just pro.
lection of our own sugar industry,
which rightly demands that ii shall not
be subjected to the destructive cOmpe-
tition of producers who receive bounty
from their governments which enables
them TO sell tn alr product in foreign
markets at Il lower price than they OBJ
tain for ii In the home market. This
Germany is now doing in the English
market and without the dilferential duty
here the American industry would not
be able TO withstand the German com
petition and would soon have to be
abandoned. The German claim is that
this duty is not only discrimination.

rEAcHLNn DIPLOMACY


Teaching diplomacy promises to he
come general within few years in
American universities and colleges. Al
ready two schools for this purpose
have been established. one in connec-
tion with the University of Pennsyl-
vana and another in Washington city
as branch of Columbia university.
The establishment of similar school
by the University of Michigan has been
recommended to the board of regents of
that institution by its president DR..
Angel, and undoubtedly the recon-
mcndation will be adopted. Other of
our great educational institutions may
be expected to follow these examples,
so that in few years schools of
diplomacy will be numerous and in a
little while the country will have an
army of men prepared, so far as these
institutions can prepare them, for
taking positions in the diplomatic and
consular service.
Special education in the requirements
for diplomatic service has been lack
never been seriously thought Of. That
it is wise to give some attention to it
has been urged by such men as Mr..
Bryce of England, who in an article
in an American magazine some time
since discussed the subject very thor
oughly and pointed out the course of
study that should be pursued, and
Prof. Bourne of Yale, who treated the
matter from the point of view of the
practical educator. The latter said in
regard to the nature of the special
training required of candidates for adj
ministrative positions in our depend
encies that in thoroughness and extent
it should not be less than that de-
manded of our own lawyers and physi-
clans. This means two or three years
of distinctively professional training
resting on the solid foundation of
regular course of study In college or
scientific school," This course, Prof.
Bourne said, should embrace geog-
raphy and ethnology, history, economics
and law, languages, religions and folk
psychology. He expressed the opinion
that with the facilities for instruction
at hand, in Il surprisingly short time
it would be entirely practicable for our
government to have as candidates for
appointment for the colonial service
men as thoroughly equipped for intel
ligent and efficient administration as
those at the disposal of England,
France, Holland and Germany.
Trained men for the diplomatic, con-
sular and colonial services are GER
tainly to be desired. Perhaps our in
terests have not greatly suffered in the
past for the want of such men, but our
broadening relations will make an i'm
perative demand for representatives
and administrators thoroughly quail
fled for the duties. These the schools
will supply so far as needed instruc-
tion is concerned, though they cannot
give men the character and tact which
are as essential as education. How
ever, the new impulse is in the right
direction and therefore to be encour-
AGED.

One OF the inevitable effects of such in

RAILROAD DJSCBnfINATfONS.

Another effort will he made at the
coming session of congress to amend
the interstate commerce act with II
view to rendering it more effective. 1t
is pretty generally admitted that the
law is now of little value. The abuses
1t was intended to correct continue and
no effort is made to remedy them. 1t
is well understood that railroad dis
ordinations are as prevalent and fla
grant now as they have ever been and
such violations of the law go on all
over the country without the least at
tempt being made to put a stop 10
them or to punish railroad managers
guilty of them. There is no doubt
that the trusts are the recipients of
special favor from the railroads and
are materially helped thereby.
1t is said that among the amend
ments that will be proposed is one for
the abolition of the Imprisonment fea-
ture of the penalties provided and the
shifting of the fines which may be inn
posed from individual employees to the
railroad companies which hire them.
Possibly such u change in the law
might have good effect, but it would
hardly be a very important factor in
correcting abuses. ut looks more and
more" remarks the Cleveland Leader,
"as if the control of interstate rail
roads would yet have to be so ex-
tended that the government can have
free access, at any time, to all the
books and papers of the common carry
ing corporations. If that power were
used by men of the right stamp for
examiners they would make the grant,
ing of discriminating rates very
troublesome and dangerous business.
Nothing less radical is likely to give the
relief which public sentiment and alb
Stract Justice demand" If it is in the
power of the government to exercise a
supervision of this kind over the rail
road corporations engaged in interstate
commerce there can be no doubt that
it would have beneficial results, but
it is questionable whether such au.
thority resides in the government.
1t will doubtless be urged that the
surest way of preventing rate discrmi-
nations is to legalize pooling, but the
fact that discrimination was practiced
when pooling agreements were in vogue
deprves this contention OF any force.
1t is certainly most desirable that
something be done to increase the eff
fectiveness of the interstate commerce
act which is now practically worth
less
