The Great Danger and the Remedy.
The greatest danger to the American
republic is the franchises it has grant
ed. The granting Of special franchises
to aggregations Of men and capital is
the colossal evil Of these days. Through
this means great rcdmbinations have
grown up which control the coal, the oil,
the flour, the sugar land the iron, as
we'll as other resources of the country.
They are able thus to monopolize the
production, transportation and sale of
these great staples.
But the most dangerous and alarming
results are seen In the corrupting in
fluences these organizations exert in all
departments of our government. When
q small aggregation Of men with large
amounts of capital are endowed with
special privileges, their interests lead
them to seek to control political action
and secure legislation, and such admin
istration of law as would advance their
interests.
Here then, is centered in these combi-
nations Of capital power which at once
antagonizes the interests Of the people
Which In the very nature Of the case
becomes rival interest t. that Of the

They seek political power that they may

ganixation.
This antagonism II the source Of a

in high places. goes unrebuksd. We
stand amazed at the rottennesa Of public
officials. We blush with shame at what
we behold. Deceit sits enthroned In the
very citadel Of our commonwealth.
But collective effort is necessary. I'M
der modern improvements In machin-
cry single-handed work Is abortive. As
sociations OF men and capital are indis-
pensible.
But what is the remedy? What will
bring an end to this warfare of interest?
What will transform this struggling
warfare into peaceful labor Of love?
To annihilate the cooperative work
now so fruitful Of results, and go back
to the single-handed struggle of the
past. would be to turn the hands back
on the dial Of progress one full century.
But, the people have the right through
governmental function to SO control the
franchises which by their own act have
been created, that justice. equity and the
best interests of all will be promoted
To attempt to modify and regulate those
aggregations OF men and money, so as
to secure the above ends, would only
prolong the warfare Of conflicting in
terests. It might be temporary anes-
thetic, but the disease would still re-
main. The warfare of conflicting inter-
ests would still go on with It's waste
and desolation. Only when the interests
Of all are combined into one great pa
ternal whole, will the conflict end.
To illustrate: When a city has ex-
tended franchise to a corporation to
furnish public light or water, the in
terest Of the people is to secure the
best possible service at the lowest fair
cost. But the interest of the corpora
tion is to secure the greatest profit
When the city takes sole ownership and
control of Its own public utilities, then
the warfare of interests cease. The sun
of fraternity rises to shed his benignant
rays on all alike. Cain and Abel are
no longer jealous of each other. Hand
in hand they join to promote each
others highest good. The class which
once antagonized the masses now finding
their interests allied with the interest
of all, ground their weapons and vie
with their fellows in promoting good
government. with justice and equity to
all.
Here we see the finger of wisdom
pointing the way to purity of govern
ment, Peace on earth and good will to
men," Public ownership waves to us
the banner of peace and plenty.
