MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

The great question Of municipal
ownership of public utilities is com
ing up strong for political consideration
large city and pays them, say $10e,o0O
The people all over the Union are
beginning to realize how systematcal-
" they have been robbed by the
owners Of stolen franchises.
To cite a common example. \
dealer in high finance" goes to the
members OF a Common Council at a
to give him a municipal franchise to
run the street cars or the electric
lighting or the water works They
sell him something that really be
longs to the people of the city and he
at once proceed to sell the same to
a company for say four or nve times
as much as it cost him.
The men who run street car line
in a big city reap millions off five
cent fares They will tell you and
their hired newspaper organs will tell
you that they cannot run at a prfit
on a less rate. OF course no one
questions their association.
Here is how the experiment OF
municipal ownership worked in Man
chester:
The City of Manchester owns and
operates. on a paying basis, all public
utilities from street cars to GENE
teries
1t costs two cents for a street car
ride in Manchester. At this rate the
municipal tramways last year paid all
expenses and cleared $247,350 net.
Manchesters sells gas to its citi-
zens at fifty eight cents per thousand
cubic feet. At this rate the net
profits last year we're $320,429. The
price in Newark is s1.1O per thousand
feet.
In Manchester, the net profits of
municipal ownership are turned over
to help pay the taxes. That is where
the people come IN.
City councilmen don't trade with
the city in Manchester. AS 1t was
explained. "They are touchy about
that,
The people of all large cities will
shortly demand their rights and insist
On owning their own city car lines,
electric lights and water works.
AS a result they will get their car
rides and light and water for less
than one half what they are paying
now and those men who are reaping
their millions off the public will take
a back seat.
The question is now being agitated
In Reno of municipal ownership OF
lights and water. The money for
electric lights now goes to Cali
fornia Company. It is high time the
people of Reno woke up.

THE JUNIOR PARTY
Youth and Beauty Meet in An
nua| Romp at Germania Hall
Monday Evening
SENIORS ARE ENTERTAINED

The annual Junior party, the big
social event of the year among the
boys and girls of the city was held at
Germania hall Monday evening and
the members of the Junior class en-
tertained royalty in honor of the de-
parting Seniors. The Promenade
was one of the prettiest parties
ever held in Kenosha and it will go
down IN history as the most success
full party ever given by any Junior
! class.
The big hall was charmingly decor
ated for the occasion. The walls were
hung with flags and banners while
every post in the room was decorated
with class colors representing the diff
ferent classes of the school. The
stage was banked with palms and
potted plants, while at the end of the
hall were hung great banners of blue
and white the co1ors of the Senior
class. Under the big balcony the
Juniors had arranged the daintiest of
| coy corners, the long seats being
completely covered by a wealth of
sofa pillows. Just over this coy
corner, done in white and green, was
the Senior class motto "Carpe Diem"
The guests began to arrive at nine
O'Clock, and by ten O'Clock the big
hall was filled to over flowing. It was
gathering Of youth and beauty and
nearly all the guests were young peo-
pie. There was just a sprinkling of
| chaperons in the room to change the
picture. Music for the dance was
furnished by Stemm Brothers. full
orchestra of sixteen pieces and better
music was never heard in Kenosha.
Nearly every dance was encored and
the students and their friends kept up
| the merry dance until early morning.
AT eleven O'Clock refreshments were
! S rived by Kupfer in the dining room
which had been deliberately decorated
for the occasion.
| More than 800 people were present at
the dance, many former students of
the High School coming from other
cities to attend the function. The
committee in charge of the party is
deserving of great praise for the sue
cess of the entertainment.

STATE PLUMBERS TRUST
Attorney General is Asked to Invest
gate Conditions Governing Business

Attorney General is Asked to Inyes.i-
According to kilograms received
from Madison complaints have been
made to state officials by master
plumbers, said to live in Racine, of an
alleged pfum bing trust in the state,
it being claimed that certain master
plumbers as well as plumbing supply
houses are in an organization, which
makes it hard for plum bers outside of
the organization to obtain materials.
Preparations are being made to in
vestigate the matter, although it is
hard to obtain details in regard to the
case beyond the fact that the iuvesti-
cation for evidence is under the direc-
ton of the labor commissioner who
will probably make a report to the
attorney general which will be basis
of action if one is begun.
1t is impossible to ascertain who
the compliments in the case are, for
state officials refuse to talk, prefer
ring that nothing. reach the public
until some official action is taken in
court.
There have been hints that the
action might be under criminal stat
utes instead of the civil laws and that
an attempt might be made to bring
the plumbers alleged to be members
of the association into court on the
charge of conspiracy. Attorney GEN
eral Sturdevant will give consider
able attention to the trust question.
