PANAMA CANAL GRAFT

Already snag encountered in the practical work
of constructing the Panama canal.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and the canal
commissioners desire that the work shall be pushed TO
best advantage, without favorsm in any quarter But
that does not suit prominent leaders of Republican
party who affiliated with various American indus.
tries That class is reported "up in arms" because
the canal management has purpose to buy
supplies the most favorable terms without regard to
the question of domestic or foreign production
The Republican doctrine of protection must rule in
the canal enterprise say potential in the Repub-
party matter if adherence to that doctrine largely
increases the cost of the canal
Representative Grosvenor Republican major-domo of
the house. expresses his views very frankly on this sub
ject He says; THE country would rather pay little
more for something that made at home that fur
nished employment for home folks and gave them better
pay than their unfortunate neighbors abroad"
In consonance with that idea it is said behalf of
the Republican skrmishers for good thing at Panama:
"As the industries of the country awake TO the
true significance of the proposed intention of canal
commission go abroad for supplies a chorus of pro
tests will come from the industrial sections of the
country"
present skyhgh protective tariff may fleece the country
in supplies for the Panama canal the gate of compe.
ton shall be closed to all foreign producers
And this undsgused highway robbery is justified in
advance by the puerle plea that the robbery will fur
nish employment for home folks" Hence "the country
would rather pay little more" etc
The highest tariff ever known in the history of the
United States now protects" American manufacturers
enabling them to exact such prices from American
buyers of their that they afford to undersel
foreign manufacturers in foreign markets. Yet the
publican politicians demand top of all that advantage
that foreign competition shall not be considered in
buying supplies for the Panama canals

ator Cars for Next Seasons
Citrus Crop

That the Santa Fe is not fearful of
any large cut in it's citrus business

to own its own refrigerator service and
had in use during the past season 45OO
cars, under seperate department

THE COMING "pARAMouNr Issun"


The National Association of Manufacturers now in
annual session at Atlanta is largely representative of
the industrial interests Of the United States Various
subjects relative to the manufacturing
be considered during the meeting The chief subjects
touched upon by the president of the association in
his annual address. They the general field Of
labor and its relation to capital tariff and reciprocity
control of railway rating municipal and gov
ernment ownership, ETC.
All the signs Of the times point to the likelihood that
the principle Of and municipal ownership Of
public utilities will be prominent and perhaps the
paramount factor in national and local politics of the
very future The present political trend unmis
takably in that direction. II is important, therefore
that much light possible he upon the subject
in order that the people may acquire correct knowledge
and be prepared act nteigently when the principle
involved becomes political issue.
The tenor of the address delivered by the president
of the Manufacturers association indicates that Ameri
can manufacturers class are opposed to anything
in the semblance of public ownership Of utilities by
federal state municipal governments.
President Parry says attempts in the line of
municipal ownership have for the most part resulted
unfavorably to the claims made by it's advocates A
large increase in the number of it's employees certain
to threaten the domination of democratic government
by ocehoding class and the corruption of politics
under private ownership of corporations would be as
nothing compared to the corruption that would most
likely exist under government ownership
1t would be difficult for President Parry to prove the
assertion that attempts at municipal ownership have
for the most part resulted unfavoraby" Where the
pertinent has been tried abroad the results generally
have been satisfactory if judge from the reports
In the United States but little progress has been made in
municipal ownership beyond the single feature of sup
plying communities with water at public expense. These
special experiments. we believe. have been uniformly
satisfactory Whether it is feasible for community
to operate transit lighting systems it is manage
its water supply is still open question. And the
question becomes still difficult when it involves
public ownership of all public utilities
The fact cannot be disputed that, a rule men will
not render faithful service when managing public
affairs they will when managing their personal a
fairs Nor is it reasonable to suppose that in the
average public utility would be efficiently handled
by political euenants it would be in the hands of
individual or corporate interests
Only by practical trial the general efficacy of
public ownership be tested. Here in Los Angeles
in Of the other large American cities such
ship of the water system has proved to be unqualified
But before going to the length of applying the
ownership plan transit service etc. shall prefer
to await results of experiments in Chicago and other
cities.
