ECONOMIC LIVE WIRES"

The question of public ownership in it's broader

The immensity of the field Of public ownership is

The best American judgment recognizes the value OF

line that marks the limit of safety. Here is the line
Competition in business is fundamental principle in
this country founded popular rights and democratic

Experience has demonstrated for instance that it is
practicable for municipality to and operate its
water system Some cities have introduced public light

water service, the idea of municipal ownership in this
country not gone beyond the tentative Excepting
