Notable Socialist Convert.
Joseph Medill Patterson, who resign

public works under Mayor Dunno of
Chicago, has now come out datfooted
as Socialist and told why in his res
ignation of the commissionership.
He recites what money means in
power and privilege and then says.
1.-THE universal ballot gives every
male citizen an equal political oppor-
tunity. The common ownership of all
the means OF production and distribu-
ton would give everybody an equal
chance at music, art, power, sport,
study, recreation. travel, self respect
and the respect of others.
Il for one cannot see why those
things should be concentrated more
and more in the hands of few"
Mr.. Patterson says that municipal
trading and public ownership abroad
do not aid the poor and he does not
want to bother with "skin deep meas
ures."

Ohio Ship Canal Authorized.
The bill to incorporate the Lake Erie
and Ohio River Ship Canal company
was passed in the house by the vote of
1856 to 81. Chairman Davidson iRep.,
Wis., of the committee on railways and
canals said this would be the last link
in the chain of waterways from New
York to New Orleans over which the
commerce of twenty-fonr states could
go and, ''as canals everywhere have
proved to be, would be regulator of
railway rates" Leader Williams of
the majority said he suspected that the
franchise had already been turned over
to the Pennsylvania railroad or some
! other railroad interest at Pittsburg.
His objection to the bin was that the
government surrendered its power over
| a river and harbor Improvement to a
private corporation. Mr.. Dalzell (Rep.,
| Pal, who is the author of the bill, de-
ciared it to be great national project,
! the construction of which would not
cost the government penny. He said
that the idea of connecting the lakes
and the Ohio had been advocated as
far back as 1924, when the government
| made the first surveys.
