No third party can be established
on the principle Of municipal owner
ship. A large majority Of Democrats
and a number Of Republicans are in
favor Of this principle when the con-
ditions are right. Municipal owner
ship is question of conditions. 1t
might be good policy for city to
own the local telephone while it twould
not be good business to own it's lightor
water plants and vice versa. A great
deal depends upon the surroundings
and the proposition submitted as to
whether intelligent voters will favor
such proposition. The chief danger
about municipal ownership is that a
lot Of offices are very often created
for incompetent men. OF course the
results would then be disastrous.
The Mexico LEDGER is in favor of the
city getting good revenue when ever
its streets or alleys are used by pri-
vate corporations. Very often fran
chise tax is better than municipal
ownership. When it is made appar-
ent that money can be saved to the
city and the enterprise, whatever it
may be, can be managed In a business
like way, the LEDGER would favor
municipal ownership. If Lee Merri-
wether endeayors to establish third
party with municipal ownership as
its main plank he will OF course en-
deavor to ally himself with one of the
old parties to get up to the pie coun-
ter. The Democratic party has had
its full of playing with side issues.
The JefferSonian principles of Demo
cracy stand for what the people want
and the less the Democratic party has
to do with any third party the better
of it will be in the long run. Munich
pal ownership is not party measure,
as we have stated, and those who
look at it in any other light than as a
question Of business and economy will
find that the people are not with them.
The people will never be foror against |
municipal ownership because its is
made a party measure.
