BEFORE municipal ownership can
become a success political snaps,
must be reduced TO business salaries.
Those who are most interested in
advocating municipal ownership fear
that 1t will be failure on account Of
high salaries being paid to cheap
politicians. The people Of Mexico
know how easy 1t is for the revenue
to be wasted on salaries. Mayor
Haynes, of Baltimore, who must be
credited with being a man OF pure
principle and prominent example Of
success along the lines of municipal
reform, has recently expressed himself
as being in favor Of private contract
by a city as opposed to ownership,
provided that the contracts are made
on the best possible terms and at the
lowest possible price. His reasons for
entertaining this view are not with
out foundation either. He clearly
explains the reasons for his prefer
ence when he says; "If / were asked
to give reason why it was better to
remove garbage and maintain the city
lights by private contract rather than
by municipal employees, I should say
that such work can always be done
better and cheaper by private con-
tractor than by government agents,
and the reason of this is that a private
employer can always get better ser
vice from his employees than can the
government. Why this is so Ineed
not discuss. One cause of this con-
dition is that government employe
feels that the obllgatian to give faith
full service to his employer is not so
binding as in the case of private
employer. 1t is condition resulting
probably from a feeling that employ
ment by governmental agent is
political and a reward for political
carviaa

A SERIOUS CHARGE
A Man Charged With Kicking a

Wednesday afternoon considerable
excitement was occasloned by report
that ]. W. Wills, Jr., had kicked Mrs.
Mary Wills out of the Wills & Co.
Hardware Store, seriously hurting
her. 1t seems that j. w. Wills, Jr.,
had served written notice on his
fathers present wife not to come into
the store. After she came in John
told his father TO have her leave. She
not going, John asked her If there was
anything she wanted, and upon her
negative reply, he invited her out.
She refused to leave, whereupon John
took her by the arm and attempted
to lead her out. She resisted and a
scufile ensued. Mr.. Wills, Sr., inter.
fered and took his wife out through
the back door. John was arrested
and fined 81 and cost for disturbing
the peace. Mrs. Wills claims to be
badly hurt and has had John arrested
