TnEMsELvEs TO prA,,n

A great deal has been said and written
about the result of the recent municipal
elections in such cities as Cleveland
Columbus and Toledo. O.. and Chicago
and st. Louis. The advocates of mu-
nicipal ownership have drawn great
hopes from them; while the adherents Of
the socialist idea rejoice exceedingly be-
cause of what they think is to be re-
garded as the entering wedge in their
assault on Individual ownership of prop
erty.
When all is said and written that can
be in this behalf, it still remains a long
cry to municipal ownership of such prop
critics as street car lines. The condition
OF public feeling on the subject of street
car administration is today in perhaps
every important city in the country one

considerable opposition even in what was

says:

like No where can It be said that such

like. No where can it be said that such
corporations have even a reasonable
share of public good will or confidence.
When one stops to consider how the
patrons of street cars regard those whom
they patronfze, it is not surprising that
an election made to- turn on the question
of the fair-dealingeof such corporations
toward the public should result as the
recent elections in those cities did.
1t is not the question of municipal
ownership that has been decided Il is
rather that the people of the cities men
toned have had opportunity offered to
them to express their joint opinions of
street car corporation methods, and they
have done so beyond possibility of mis-
take or misunderstanding.
The $-cent fare campaign of Tom John
son in Cleveland was successful because
the people OF that city knew that john
son had knowledge and experience which
enabled him to insist that a Scent fare
would not involve injustice to the cor
porations concerned.
The shameless exactions and corrup-
ton chargeable against these corpora
tons in Chicago enabled Carter H. Har-
rison to win an overwhelming victory.
His demands were regarded by the peo-
pie, too, as reasonable. They included
reductions of fares during the morning
and evening hours, Improvement of facili-
ties and compensation to the pubic
treasury based on a percentage of gross
earnings
In the other cities named the result
was the same in principle. 1t is not that
the people so much want to go into the
street car business as it is that they are
sick and tired of0t1e criminal exactions
and eXtortion of street car corporations.
When a corporation or individual in any
community acquires a well-merited repu-
tation as a tax-shirker, an expression of
the public, both in the matter of the
charges made and the service rendered
and a corrupter of public bodies and
moreover, occupies generally the posi-
ton Of public outlaw, it is not surpr!s-
ing that the public should be glad TO
manifest its hostility to his or its disad-
vantage.
Public ownership has It's most powerful
advocate in the street car corporations
of the country They have refused to
learn anything from experience, which
might even temporarily lessen their re-
ceipts. They concede nothing, and con-
ceive it to'abe a duty they owe them
selves, under all circumstances, to DIS
regard enlightened public opinion
If the result of the municipal elections
referred to does not present anything
tangible from which one may deduce
the certainty of municipal ownership
within stated period, the fault is not
that Of the street car corporations, which
have really done everything in their pow
er to produce that result
