MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
How the Plutocrats Get Together
When they Scent Danger to
"Vested Rights"

EDITOR HERALD:-TomL L. John
sons election to the office of Mayor
of the city of Cleveland on q mu-
nicipal ownership platform has
brought that issue prominently be-
fore the public. The metropolitan
press, with few exceptions, pro-
nounces municipal ownership Of
public utilities socialstic and a de-
parture from the Democracy of JET
ferson. The Nashville American
delares that the increased number
of public employees would corrupt
politics and perpetuate whichever
local narty happened to be in power.
The Green Bay (Wis.) Democrat In
quires: why is not municipal
ownership Democratic?" The Mil
waukee Journal answers: "The,pri
mary idea of government is to pre-
vent one from injuring another,
leaving citizens otherwise free to
follow their own pursuits of indus
try and improvement. 1t recog-
nizes the equal right of all men to
use their own faculties and to the
enjoyment of their own industry and
enterprise. Government is not a
business coporation; it is not or
ganized to make profits"
The Journals conception Of the
primary idea Of government as
taught by Jefferson is sound Demo
cracy and rings like bell. But
does seem as if the Journal is con
fused as to the application of the
theory which it 80 well expresses
If municipal government grants
the exclusive right to use its streets
for any purpose whatsoever to som'
of its citizens, allowing them, in ad
dition to the ordinary returns t
capital, to exact triLute (rent from
the excluded citizens for the privi
lege of using their own streets, tn
equal right If all men to the en-
joyment of (the fruits of their owl
industry" is abridged. This surel,
is not the Democratic idea. Tha
private ownership of public utilize
does favor one citizen at the eXpens
OF another is not open to question
This exclusive privilege has none
value. 1t is the difference betwee
the actual cost of the plant and tn
market value of the stocks an
bonds. 1t is expressed in the valu
of the franchise. In most cities tn
franchise value is several times tn
value of the plant. That Jefferso
did not advocate municipal owne
ship was probably because thel
were comparatively few municip,
franchises in his day. Street raj
ways, gas and electric light an
water works were unknown. b.
Jetferson's doctrine of equal RICH
to all, special privileges to none
covers the case. The trouble wit
most advocates of municipal owne
ship is that they fail to distinguis
between public and private fun
tions; between businesses that a.
in their very natures monOpolies al
those which are subject to the fir,
play of open competition. MuniC
pal ownership of the former is abs
lutely essential to the preservati,
of the equality of individual righi
while municipal ownership of pl
vate functions is purely socialist
and subversive of individual righ
Because a municipality should n
grant the exclusive use of its stret
for any purpose whatsoever to inC
viduals, is no reason why it shOu
