Public Ownership.

The question of government owner
ship has come up in acute form in New
York City, The mayor of that large
town is person of most conservative
mind who believes that he is living in
the best possible world and that the
right of private ownership is probably
traceable to a divine origin. Yet even
Mr.. Low has not been so bewildered by
The fear that community can never do
anything for itself, as not to see the
folly of paying about half as much
more for street lighting as it would
cost under the most improvident pub
lie ownership. He has gone to the
length of advocating that the city build
and operate its own electric plant and
has been able to cite instances of pub
lie ownership of similar plants in other
cities which have greatly benefited
the public treasury. The officials of
the gas company which has been
gouging New York for years offer the
objection to the mayors plan that the
examples Of public ownership which he
cites have not been profitable" That
is, they have paid no dividends. But
that is exactly the point in favor Of
public ownership of these plants. The
difference between the cost of produc
ing the electric light and the charge t.
the public, which now find its way in
to enormous dividends for the stock
holders, would, if the city owned thu
} plant, be returned to the public in par
at least. The argument is almost to,
familiar to deserve repetition. But W
= believe it to be fact susceptible o
demonstration that with all the Grim
inal waste that goes on in public offices

with water by the city government pa,
less than cities that rely for their SUP
plies on private corporations and ar

sections. They are supposed to repre-
sent the sentiments Of the party in the
sections from which they hail and those
sentiments will be given to the leaders
of the party and those leaders are sup
posed to govern themselves accordingly.
1t is believed by some of the leaders of
the party who still remain in Washing

effect and that in the neOr future a
thorough understanding will be arrived
at and that real harmony will prevail in
the party. Apropos of this feeling l
will give the readers of this paper the
benefit of an interview / had with q
distinguished democratic senator few
days ago. The senator's name will moi
be used for obvious reasons, but it is
authentic and is so full of good, com
mon sense democracy and good politics
that l think it should read by the dem
ocrats of the country. There is feel
ing of democratic hopefulness here il

dered by such sentiments as are ex
pressed by the man l will quote.

A Progressive Bill.

The bill providing for county boards
of education to have charge of the pub
lie schools in The various counties
strikes us as most meritorious, and one
that the house should concur in. Such
q method of school management would
certainly be an improvement over the
district director system now in vogue.
Senator Garrett SAID such law would
save Montgomery county SO, 500 year.
If the senator's figures are correct, and
we have no reason to question them,
the saving in the other ninetyfve coun-
ties wo very large in the aggregate.
This law would also have tendency
to destroy the trading and trafficing
between directors and teachers and
between directors and school supply
agents.
The bill, according to SenatorGarrett,
has the commentator of the state
Teachers Association and this fact
alone should insure its passage as a
general law. Nashville American.

After Lawyers.

Lawyers who make it a practice to
hunt up damage suits and make their
fee contingent ON securing verdict,
will have to amend their ways if bill
introduced Tuesday by Senator Erwin
becomes law. Under the provisions
of the bill an attorney making such an
agreement or contract will be disbarred
from practicing law. The bill also pro-
vides means for ascertaining whether
or not such contracts have been made.
1t is made unlawful for any attorney
or person to enter into a contract or an
agreement with plaintiff whereby the
fee rests on any contingency. 1t APP
plies to suits already brought or that
may hereafter be brought.
For the detection of the offense the
defendant may file bill of equity for
discovery and relief and obtain an in
junction against the further prosecu-
ton of the suit. If suit is brought
and the defendant has reason to think
that there has been a champertous con.
tract made, he may file interrogatories
with the clerk of the court directed to
plaintiff. These may be served also on
the attorney and if not answered with
in three days shall be taken as confess
ed.
If champerty is disclosed when suit
is pending or within three years after
its termination the attorney shall be
disbarred, if found guilty after being
given an opportunity to make defense.
