Chicago Journal: The principle of
municipal ownership is advancing slow
iy, but it is advancing. 1t is gaining
strength every day in many of the great
municipalities of this country that have
suffered from the eXtortionate practices
of greedy corporations, and from the
corruption of the local government and
the state legislature when long extor-
ton made the public restless. To their
essential unfairness, to their voracity,
TO their ruthless disregard of public
rights, to their arrogance and insolence
toward the public that has supported
them, to their pollution of juries and
courts, and their wholesale bribery of
state and city legislatures, gas and
water and street railway companies in
this country owe the sentiment that
looks forward to their elimination as
vital to the cause of local good govern
ment. The people are merely waking
up to the necessities of a situation the
corporations have made.
