MuNlc!PAl. OWNERSHIP.
All Right In Theory, but Breaks Down
Ia Practice.

Al Right In theory, but Breaks Down
In Practice.
Theoretically there is so much in
municipal ownership of public utilities
thai the practical carrying out Of its
attractive features appears simple and
Of no serious moment, ana for mu-
nictpallty to take over and run water,
lgl.ts, Sewerage and even transporta-
ton appeals to taxpayers, and the
trade is made without the first asSur-
ance that the conduct of these proper
ties VIII he along practical and busi-
ness lines.
1t is Tie failure TO assure the prac-
tical that works the evil, for municipal
ownership is 4 general ownership and
general ownership results too easily
ia its being no special business Of any
citizen or taxpayer to look into or in
ouire after the conduct of the proper
ties under control. This leaves the
MANAGEMENT to few, who soon find
that they have only themselves to ac'
count to, that people are too busy to
demand accountings and taxpayers
accept any kind of report, just
so there is the appearance of all being
right ana light, water, sewerage, etca
are given.
Ii is this indifference and neglect on
the part OF taxpayers to take note OF
municipal affairs which make munic'
ipa! ownership of public utilities a
hazardous aud expensive matter. The
theory Of municipal ownership, with
its great saving to each taxpayer, the
extra service given ana the great prof
its resulting, can all be placed in fig
ures beforehand but it is a failure un-
less the taxpayers shall give earnest
ana serious heed to the conduct OF
these public utilities, for unless this is
done they viii wake up some day with
broken down properties and a big bond
issue to make good.-Newbern Week

HOW TO SHOW A PROFIT.
Tricky Bookkeeping Puts Losses on

The printed report of a municipal
electric light plant in Indiana has just
becu received. 1t shows a profit. There
is no question about it. 1t shows
large profit. The figures are there in
black and white. and they show Il
profit equivalent to 80 per cent Of thd
gross income and IS per cent on the
capital invested. That is what We call
profitable business.
How was this plant able to make SO

that any municipal plant could adopt

il is that it makes competition by pri,

for interest on the capital invested and
for depreciation We're entirely ignored

GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.
Millions Sunk In Unsuccessful Munici-
pal Lighting Plants.

Millions Sunk In Unsuccessful Muniei-
pal Lighting Plants.
During the past few years at least
sixty cities and towns in the United
States have sold, leased or abandoned
their lighting plants. In u few cases
they still retain their distributing sys
tenn, buying the current from some
company, but in most instances they
have gone out of the business entirely
y number of other places have made
unsuccessful efforts to dispose Of their
plants.
As with few exceptions municipal
lighting plants have been in operation
but a short time this is a remarkable
showing of failure and one, it need
hardly be said, that is seduloul;ly avoid
ed by those who for ends of their own
are urging other cities to make similar
experiments.
As ii usually takes some years for
u city to realize how great a burden
it is carrying in its lighting plant, it
is probable that the number of admit
ted failures will increase rapidly from
now on, for, as an eminent electrical
engineer recently said, There are al
ready indications that a considerable
Number OF these municipalities which
have engaged in improper undertake
ings are entering upon a period of
financial difficulty"

THE PURSUIT OF THF CRAFTERs

Never III all the history Of the nation was there
such systematic crusade being made upon the dwell
Iers in official and commercial darkness. The nation
seems to have resolved itself into Lexow committee
and the newspapers and magazines Of the country are
lurid with tales Of corruption and crookedness in
councils, courts, corporations and legislatures.
Hunting grafers has become of the favorite pur
suits of the American people. Tom Lawson turned
the light on 'the System Miss Tarbe has exposed
the dark practices of Standard Oil; Lincoln Stefens
has laid bare the spool Of municipal rotoness;
Ray Stannard Baker has placed the railways trial.
and now David Graham Phillip. the distinguished
author-ecturer socioogis has donnedhis armour for
crusade.upon the hidden recesses of corruption in the
United States This is indeed boarding the lion in
his den, bnt Mr. Phillips in his article The Trea
son of the Senate. in the March Cosmopolitan,
shows that he is lacking neither IN courage nor the
the weapons necessary for successful warfare Boldly
he makes the charge that the coterie Of Senators
that control legislation in the upper house not the
representatives of the people the states bnt Of the
corporations and individuals who and dominate
them He takes Chauncy M Depew as typical
example of the railroad Senator and gives his history
from the hour he entered public life till the present
day, and such story it is-Depew the brilliant, cum
ming shrewd manipulation, without the power Of init
ative but possessing in superlatve degree the facu
ty of making himself the efficient, subservint tool of
the Interests Depew whose good humor and smiles
have cost the people of New York millions of dollars
all dropped into ooers Of his clients; Depew the agent
Or the Vanderbilt whose clever cajoery Of councils
and legislatures neted millions in franchises and speci-
al favors for his employers; Depew under whose di-
rection the magnificent state capital Of New York
was built at cost $40 ooo 900 when its cost should
not have exceeded 600 ooo Depew the counsellor Of
