One of the most important pub
lie questions of the day is, whether
the people can conduct certain
public utilities for themselves as
wellas private corporations can con-
duct them for the people. There is
a growing conviction in the public
mind that the people can get the
best results by working in theil
own interest; that the vast earn.
ings they now contribute to stock
holders and bondholders might just
as we'll be their own. If the Ameri
can people are capable of govern
ing themselves, and it seems to bt
generally accepted that they are.
it is quite within the bounds o.
reason to suppose that they car
conduct certain enterprises, al
ready held to be quasi, public.

John D. Rockefeller or any 9th
er of the plutocrats could get as
much personal comfort and enjoy
ment out of one million dollars as
they can out of their multiplied
millions. Human enioyment-real
enjoyment procurable by wealth,
has it's limitations. Beyond a cer-
tain point no man caa buy more,
no matter how many millions be
has. Thus if Rockefeller has ac-
quired billion dollars in wealth,
as alleged, he is in the selfish pos
session thereof depriving one
thousand men of the utmost COM
forts and enjoyments of life. BY
placing the limit lower-say one
hundred thousand dollars-he is
dspriving ten thousand people Of
all they could gain by wealth.
Such figures make one think there
ought to be legal restrictions plac.
ed upon human hoggishness.

1t is to be hoped that this new law

is an inexcusable amount of illit
eracy in Missouri, due more to the
negligence of parents than to {
lack of schools. Illiteracy is thu

The most conspicuous result OF
the Sunday saloon closing order
in St. Louis was that on the first
day the order went into effect the
number Of arrests for all crimes
and offenses fell off sixty per cent,
as compared with the previous
Sunday. when the saloons were
open. This effect is az all-suth-
cient vindication of the supporters
of the Sunday closing law; and,
more than that, it is a most con-
vincing corroborative demonstra-
tion in support of the argument
that the whole liquor traffic in it.
self is the greatest single factor in
filing our jails and penltentiaries.
Carrying the argument farther: a
reduction of sixty per cent in ar
rests means, a corresponding di-
minialion in prosecutions and
criminal costs. Does the taxpayer
begin to see where he comes in on
this question! Millions of dollars
of the peoples money are spent in
Missouri annually in contending
with the resultant effects of a traf-
fic they license to enter into the
community. The tax upon the
traffic probably does not offset the
expense it occasions. Taking an
other view of it. A reduction of
sixty per cent in arrest means so
much less human woe and misery;
which, to anyone imbued with the
least spirit of humapitarianism,
ought to be sufficient grounds for
enforcing a restraint upon the in
fluence which occasions so much
unhappiness and distress.

Missouri's Ownership Experiment.

The legislature that met in Jan

for binding twine plant to be
maintained in the penitentiary. In
accordance with that law the leg
isIature just adjourned appropriate
ed 1926, 900 more to be known as
a ''revolving fund.-" to be used
only to purchase raw material re-
quiredin the manufactureand hand
ling the twine. All moneys deriv-
ed from the sale of twine are to be
collected and paid into the state
treasury by the peni:entiary war
den, and kept in a separate ac-
count. The warden is empower
ed to sell the twine to the farmers
of the state for cash, free on board
the cars at Jefferson City, ''and at
a price per pound sufficient only
to indemnify the state against
loss" State twine in bulk may
also be sold for cash by the war
den to persons in each county who
shall be required to sign an agree
ment to sell the twine to actual
consumers at a price not greater
than one cent per pound over it's
cost, with transportation from the
state capital added.
Manufacturing of the twine has
begun, and the price has been fix
ed at 10 cents per pound. The
trusts, it is said, sell the same ar
ticle for from 124 cents to IA cents
a pound. 1t will be some time be.
fore the working results of this
special branch of state industry
can be ascertained. So far the ap
preparations have amounted tc

the twine at a reduced rate also

Will Fight Insurance Trust.

Business men of Brookfeld,
Kirksville, Moberly and Macon are
preparing to fight the insurance
trust which has made exhorbitant
rates on fire insurance in Missouri.
A movement was started several
months ago in the Moberly Com
mercial Club, which body appoint
ed a committee to investigate the
cost of fire insurance. 1t was
found that the regular fire insur-
ance companies were operating up
on lines of a big trust.
That there was a combination
whereby rates we're made just as
high as the companies cared to fix
them and against such exhorbitant
rates the people owning business
property we're almost helpless. II
was shown by the sworn returns
of the old line insurance companies
to the Missouri State Insurance
Department that they collected last
year about 81, 500, 900 in premiums
from the people of Missouri and
paid back to them in losses about
So, 500, 600. In other words the
insurance trust collected $7.5C
in premiums from us for every
So. so paid out in losses. Anc
strange to relate, in spite of this
enormous profit there was a gener
al raise in rates another notch. A,
a result of these findings the Mo
berly Commercial Club decided tt
undertake the organization of {
mutual ERE insurance company a
a means of securing some relief.
