JONES DISCUSSES UTILITIES.
Governor of Arkansas Thinks Cities
should Own street Railways.

REPO ELiC 81 y Ala
Little Rock. ark. July Es.-Relative to
municipal ownership OF public utilities, a
question now upperEAost In Arkansas poll
ties Governor Jones to-day said:
Il believe il municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities. L believe that the Legislature
should pa-s la S to permit cities Of the
first and second class to issue bonds, under
proper restrictions, and with due SAFE
guards. l believe that city would be abb,
by an issue of per cent bonds, to erect and
maintain waite works. light plants and
street railways, and other public utilities,
and that the revenue derived from that
source, properly managed, would cot ONLY
pay for the operation of the plants, but
would pay the interest on the city debt, and
run the city well.
"Eut It must be carefully guarded 1t is
a dangerous proceeding 10 trust absolute
power TO any man or set of men, for how
ever honest they may be- they may lack
tldgmsn., and the most griavous wrong 5
have been committed from that cause alone.
Another thing: We are confronted AT the
present time with most momentous prob
lem. The increase in school revenues Is not
commensurate with the increase in the
number of children entitled TO public edu-
cation,
How are We to remedy this evil? ap-
point a Beard of Equalization every year,
but what 60 they accomplish? The little
they do Is frequently undone by county
Judges ard the revenues are not increased.
Il is yer- evident that reforms are needed
IN our taxation laws.
