been made in the scientific treatment
of sewage. He established the great
farms belonging to Glasgow, which
now are fortified with what were
waste products. He abandoned what
had seemed to be his life work and en-
tered on a new and almost unfamiliar
field Of activity. He gave to It the fun
Of splendid executive ability. The o.
acials Of the private company sneered
at the presumption Of this farmer and
sewer digger" They called attention to
the fact that 1t requires years Of train
ing and a special aptitude to properly
manage street railway property.
Today John Young Is president Of the
powerful Municipal Tramway Associa-
ton Of Great Britain and the admitted
peer Of railway experts. Street railway
corporations In the United States, also
the London county council, have made
him fattering offers, but he win spend
his life working for the city which de-
lights to repose confidence In his hon.
esty and ability.
Mr.. Young invented a new type Of car
and ordered BOO Of them. He erected
nine stations, constructed car and re-
pair shops, secured the United King
dom, France, Canada and the United
States for 5000 horses, engaged and
drilled 1900 men and for two years
worked day and night IN preparation
for the date set for the formal opening
Of the municipal tramway plant. At
midnight Of June 3d. 1894, the private
company withdrew its cars, and on the
following morning the new ones were
seen for the first time ON the streets Of
Glasgow. They bore the now familiar
sign, "Glasgow Corporation Tram
ways"
There was great excitement In Glas-
cow. The rival company was ready
for the fight with 175 omnibuses, each
drawn by three horses and massed on
the best paying routes so as to ''blan-
ket" the car traffic. The city Ared the
first gun by cutting the former rates
IN half, and the buses were compelled
to meet the rate. Steadily Mr.. Young
enlarged the service and Heightened the
routes for which certain prices were

the company admitted itself beaten
and retired from the field.
For the first eleven months Of mu-
nicipal operation the tramways showed
a profit of S125OOO. This result had
been attained against severe odds. The
city had to meet the competition Of the
old company. the winter had been one
Of almost unprecedented bitterness, the
horses were raw and many Of the men
inexperienced, the fares had been re-
duced, the hours of employment had
been cut from fourteen to ten, the city
had purchased uniforms for its men, it
had removed the unsightly advertise
ments which Were source Of profit, it
had been compelled to meet the In
Vulnerable expenses incident to the In
stallation Of new plant, but despite
all these items there remai6ed a net
revenue far greater than had been de-
rived from the old company.
The second year OF operation showed
profits Of 100000. There ia in Glas-
Cow treasury fund called the "com-
mon good" and into this the tramway
department had agreed to pay $45, O0O

accrue. This fund goes to investments

~ LAsGoW first attracted world
wide attention by It's handling
Of the street railway problem.
George, Francis Train, q tire
less and brilliant American, was the
first to propose street railways in Glas-
gov. This was in 1870. Mr.. Train
went to parliament for power to build
lines in Glasgow, but the town council
also petitioned for like power. A COM
promise was finally made by which the
city built the lines and leased them to
the company for a term Of years ex-
piring in 1894 The council drove q
hard bargain with the company. The
company was compelled to pay to the
city the annual interest charge on the
full amount of the investment, year
ly sum to the sinking fund sufficient to
clear the entire cost Of the lines by the
time of the expiration of the lease, an
annual depreciation charge Of 4 per
cent, SO as to keep the plant in perfect
repair. and on top of all this an annual
rental Of $3.50 mile. The rates Of
fare were limited to penny mile,
with morning and evening cars for
workmen at a penny G cents ride to
or from their places Of employment.
The original company sold its fran
chise for $75000O, and the purchasers
made money ON the investment Three
years prior to the TERMINATION Of the
Lease negotiations were entered into
for it's renewal It speedily became ap-
parent that the council and the COM
pany could not come to terms. The
company owned the horses and the
rolling stock and had secured char
ter from parliament permitting II 70

ined that 1t had created monopoly
and that 1t had Glasgow at its mercy.
1t refused to reduce the hours Of labor
for its employees or to agree to revise
the rates Of fare, Under no conditions
would it agree not to compete with the
city with buses and cabs, even provid-
ed satisfactory purchase price were
fixed.
1t was case Of Scotch meeting
|scotch, and the town council prepared
for war. Parliament gave them the
fright to operate their lines. but they
had less than two years in which to get
ready. In that short time it was neces.
sary to build barns, cars and all the
traffic appliances; also to purchase and

Of substituting electricity for horse.

There is no doubt but that the rot
teness of the Democrats in Denver en-
titles them to very little consideration.
Any class of people who are guilty OF
such frauds as those indulged in by the
Denver ring Of criminal politicians have
no right to ask anything, whether foul
or fair. It cannot be doubted by any
fair minded person but that these frauds
have been great. Yet it must be ad-
mitted that the same crowd that has
corrupted and damned the Democrats,
while in power, will endeavor to use
the Republicans to the same extent, if
they can. Republicans cannot afford
to follow in the footsteps of a party
which the people of the state have de-
serted to such an extent that mighty
majority has gradually dwindled down
to where they have lost control The
time has come when the people of this
state demand better politics than those
instituted by the Democrats while con.
trolling every branch of state govern
ment. Whatever course the Legislative
bodies find it necessary to take regard
ing the present gubernatorial contest i,
is to be hoped that no influences sucf
as those which have controlled tbs
Democratic party will in any way gov
ern their decision.

The Delta Laborer says Bro. Rawalt,
of the Paonia Newspaper, bid 20 cents
an inch for publication of legal matters
required by the county. Editor Rawalt,
when a representative from Gunnison
county, took great interest in securing
laws fixing the price of legal printing
at "a cents an inch for first insertion
and 48 cents for each subsequent inser-
tion and we hav. often heard him say
that these rates were low enough.
There must be some mistake about
his bidding 20 cents per inch, Bro.
Hopkins. A Chinaman would starve at
such rates. .-Montrose Enterprise Yes,
Rawalt believes "a and 48 cents is cheap
enough, yet lin bidding for the Delta
county printing he underbid all the
papers in the county and now villifies
the county commissioners and county
attorney with cries of fraud and
grating, through his co-partner, the
Laborer, because they let the printing
at living rates, yet considerably less
than the S4-48 cent rate. His paper was
not Of legal-ag however.

much rather have seen this compromise
than to have seen the taxes collected
from other sources squandered in an
attempt to collect more taxes from the
railroad company. We believe that
the commissioners did everything that
they could do in this matter-one thing
we do know and that is that they did
exactly what other counties on the
western slope did in this respect. If
Mr.. Rawalt or anyone elseI wants to
collect the balance of the taxes that
they consider are due Delta county we
do not know that there is anything to
prevent it. It is job that either
