ADVANTAGE OF PUBLIC OWNER
SHIP.

The question Of public owern-
ship Of public utilities is fast ab-
sorbing attention, and when un-
trammeled by partisanship or self
interest the people are rapidly re-
aching the conclusion that affords
solution to many problems. In
the first instance, it would be one
Of the most effective means that
could be adopted for doing away
with much of the prevalent politi-
cal corruption. by removing the
most prolific source of temptation
As long as legislatures have
power to grant special privileges
in the way Of valuable public
franchises, or have control over
corporations holding such fran
chises with power to extend or
curtail their power the temptation
on the part Of corporations seek
inc such franchises to buy them or
extend privileges by bribing legis-
lators, or the temptation on the
part Of the irresponsible legislator
to sandbag corporation, will exist.
Also the temptation OH the part OF
such franchise corporation to con-
|trol elections In their own interests
will be prevalent. The temptation
IA so to corrupt juries and Judges,
avoid paying damages in damage
suits, such as now exists, would
be destroyed.
Every thinking person will re-
cognize that these are the most
fruitful sources Of corruption i'll
our political system, affecting all
Legislative bodies, from the in
significant town Of boards to con
gress itself.

ard Oil and the coal combines I'M.
doubtedly owe their existence to
discrimination in .their favor by
the railroads and other transport
alton lines. The same is true of
others.
The arguments advanced by MI
Paul Morton, in his testimony be
fore the industrial commission in
favor of pools, is really an argu-
ment for the public ownership.
He said"that a legalized system
Of pooling contracts put premium
on honesty and makes it expensive
for railroads to make any discrim-
nations or rebates which are now
the cause of so much complaint
before the commission He stat
ed also that it would protect small
shippers and small towns to an ex-
tent which is not possible under
the present methods. Undoubtedly
this is true. The weakness, how
ever, lies in the fact that the pub
lie dare not trust such formidable
power in the hands of few men,
who, experience teaches, would
use such power to benefit the
few against the many. The pub
lie is perfectly willing to trust it.
self, and it is safe only to trust
such a formidable power to peo-
pies government responsible di-
rectly to the people.
Under public ownership it
would be impossible for few big
firms in Chicago to get together
every night as testimony before
the industrial commission shows
they do, and fix the price of grain
for the next day, which can only
be done through cooperation Of
the railways. 1t is true the inter-
state commerce commission and
the laws are very pronounced
against giving rebates, but the
railroads secretly violate these
laws.
1t also stands to reason that |
public ownership would greatly |
reduce the cost of service. The
vast sums which every railway
and other public corporations now
provide for the purpose of influen-
cling elections, maintaining lobb1es
and bribing legislators also the
salaries of the many high-priced
lawyers, many of whom draw sal
aries equal to that of president of |
the United States, the waste of
competition, and especially the
which the roads must now

Senator McEnery, is one of the
Senators who awhile opposing the
permanent retention Of the Philip
pines by the q. S., advocates the
forcible suppression of the rebel
hon against our authority. In
speech he said: "I am not willing
that the Philippines, or any part
of them, should remain the proper
ty Of the q. s., and I am unalter
ably opposed to their inhabitants
becoming citizens of this country.
We should get away from there as
soon as our honor, dignity and IN
terests will permit. L have no
sympathy with the Filipinos.
They are now enemies of the U. S.
AS soon as they have laid down
their arms, perhaps we may be
able to do something for them. 1t
is absurd to suppose that they are
now, or in the immediate future
will be, able to govern themselves
as we regard government"

Finacial bill aud the Senate has
done likewise, the Financial bill |
