THEMUNICIPALLEAGUE
REFUSED TO GO ON RECORD ON
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

CHICAGO, September 2S.-The League of
American Municipalities. at the opening of
its session today, fatty refused to put itself
on record as being for or against" the
municipal ownership of public utilities. A
resolution by Mayor G. W. McCaskrin of
Rock Island, ILL.,, and another by Alderman
W. Stearns of Adrian, Mich, demanding a
vote on the question by the delegates was
killed in the committee on resolutions.
This action was followed ION the part of
the delegates by the tabling of the report
of the committee on constitution and by
laws, which recommended that the con-
stitution be changed so as to read: This
organization shall not be committed on the
question of municipal ownership of public
utilities nor be used for furtherance OF any
particular feature of municipal govern
ment."
The convention adopted an amendment
to the constitution which declared that all
officers of the league mus, be bona fide
municipal officers at the time of their
election as officers of the league. A reso-
luton also was adopted declaring for q
national standard hose coupling and hy-
drant f1ttinfis for public fire service, as pro-
mulgated by the National Board of Fire

For Public Ownership.
In addressing the League of American
Municipalities today on the subject Of pub
lie ownership of utilities. Prof. Frank Par
son of Boston said in part:
Public ownership tends to improvement
of. service. With public management serv-
ice is primary aim, with corporation man.
agement it is secondary If the company
can See dividends in improvement of serv-
ice it favors Improvement; otherwise not.
The company puts the dollar first and serv-
ice second.
THE political effects of public ownership
are among its important consequences The
chief cause of political corruption in our
states and cities today is the pressure of
the private monopolies on legislative bodies
and executive officers. Public ownership
removes this cause of corruption
