HOW CITIES LOSE MONEY.
Municipal Plants Pay No Taxes and
Reduce Tax Receipts.

munielpal PLANTS ray NO ] axes and
Reduce Tax Receipts.
The subject of lost taxes Is one that
deserves far more attention than il
usually receives from advocates Of
municipal ownership. There is scarce.
ly a municipal plant in this country
which mentions this item in It's reports,
although it is just as much an element
in cost OF production as coal and
wages. The omission is readily over
looked, because it Is negative ex-
pense involving no direct payment, but
only a loss Of income to the city.
If you own a store for which you
are receiving good rental and dis
possess your tenant in order 10 occupy
II yourself the rental value of the store
becomes a charge against your bust
ness, just as II was previously
charge against your tenants business,
and you are out Of pocket unless your
profits exceed the rent you formerly
received Similarly If a city buys out
Or otherwise dispossesses public serv-
Ice corporation the real, personal and
franchise taxes formerly paid by the
corporation become charge against
the operation of the municipal plant
that succeeds the corporation, and the
,ity is out Of pocket unless the profits
of its plant exceed the taxes lost.

Referring 10 the recent announcement
that 51,14G persons are ON the payroll
Of New York city. the Newark Adver-
tiSor declares that in the event Of mu-
uicipal ownership of street railways,
electric light and gas plants, ferries and
other public utilities the city employees
would constitute a political army that
would make Il change of adminstra-
ton impossible.
1t recalls the fact that $4,000 city
employees in Philadelphia kept phila-
delplia in the hands of the corrupt
Durham machine for years. and only
n great popular uprising overthrow the
EaftcrS.
IF Durham had had control of the
street railroads and other public utili-
ties in Philadelphia through municipal
ownership it observes. "he could have
laughed at popular uprlsings. He
would have been as absolute in his au-
thOrity as the car"
The point is well taken.
In other cities the political situation
under public ownership would he as il
would in Philadelphia and New York.
Bosses may he overthrown and
grafters turned out whenever the pub
lie will il at present Public ownership
IF all public utilities would end this.
