PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

The opponents Of public ownership Of
water works. electric light systems, street
railways or other public utilities which
are in the hands OF private monopolies,
il not owned by the public, usually ad,
vance number OF stock arguments to
convince the people that the public
should not mix up in these things.
They argue that public ownership be-
comes source oil corruption and the
opportunity for spells system is in
creased. Even II this were true, which
experience shows it is not, the political
evils OF patronage are insignificant COM
pared to the evils which the public usu-
ally snheFs at the hands Of private mo.
nopolIes. A second objector SAYS that
public ownership is paternalism. Itis
so near paternaism that il becomes fra
ternalism, because the people manage il.
Paternalism is where somebody else
manages the business for yOu. The
trusts are paternaL Socialism" saws

nature, but is not pnre socialism, which
Is the common ownership Of the means
OF production and distribution" ANY
thing short Of this is not socialism. The
Postoffice, public parks. roads, ceme,er-

Socialism is word used by designing |
persons to frightem the timid. The
word has been so much abused thai
many persons believe it means anarchy. !
when 1t is directly the opposite. There !
