lions to the Diamond Mountain and
Plumas National Forests in Califor-
mia. and the Santa Rita in Arizona.
The additions and the new forests ere

amounting to slightly more than half
a million acres. The additions have
been made only of land which was val
liable for forest purposes or necessary

The Inyo is the largest of the new
national forest additions. and is locat-

the northernmost part of the ground
which it was proposed to reserve for
the conservation of the water supply
Of the city of Los Angeles. 1t also con-

Arizona. is small consisting Of less
than 10000 acres.
The Missouri Mountain and the Plu-
mas National Forests in California
have been enlarged by an area of
slightly less than 16i thousand acres.
The addition to the Santa Rita Ma

Nothing is more certain than that
public ownership multiplics the posi-
bilities of pernicious partisan activity.
Employees of the postoffice department
defeated Representative Loud of Call
fornia because of some stand he took
In congress relative to their desires.
This is an indication of what might
be expected under public ownership
both in city and nation.
Strong men at the head of munich
pal employees in street cars, parks
paving, waterworks and lighting serv-
ice could swing any election they might
desire to control. Officials would be
paralyZed as to their duties to the pub
lie through the necessity of placating
or humoring these immense bodies OF
municipal employees. Then we should
have the leaders Of the aggregation
making bargains with heavy interests
for the delivery of votes to desired
candidates or measures. Self interest
more or less corrupt, would supersede
the dsinterested patriotic motives and
differences of opinion on which men
now divide in local and general cleo
tions.-Terre Haute Star.

NUGGETS OF SOUND SENSE.
Beware of the Entering Wedge of So
cialism-Public Ownership.

cialism-Pubic Ownership.
In recording the defeat of munich
pal waterworks scheme in Raleigh, n.
c., after an educational campaign OF
several months duration, the Evening
Times of that city gives an analysis of
municipal ownership which is well
worth the careful study of all who
have at heart the welfare of their
cities. Omitting references to local
conditions, the editorial reads as fol
lows:
municipal ownership is contrary to
the fundamental doctrines of the Dem
ocratic party, which opposes central
lied parental government and cries out
for the freedom of individuals. The
function of the government Is to gov
ern, regulate and execute the laws
made by the people and not to engage
in trading and traflicking for spccula
tive gain. The miserable failure which
the state backed by all its power and
public treasury, made in the trading
business while 1t owned and operated
plank roads, canals and railroads Is
blatant warning against municipal
ownership.
"Municipal ownership is the first step
in socialism. which strangles individual
enterprise, deters the Investment of
capital In our city and retards in
dustrial progress. When once started
there Is no limit to its scope until there
becomes large Increase in municipal
nd n pm nj
municipal credit When q city en-
cages In municipal ownership it runs
the risk of constant suits for damages,
while the state and county are de-
prived of taxes upon that much prop
erty.
"While many towns owning water
works publish rates which appear to be
cheap, they are in many instances de-
ceptive for the reasons that, in addition
to the rates, taxes are levied upon the
people to pay interest on bonds, which
when added to the rates make the
consumer pay more than the rates
charged by private plants Many of
these municipal plants If examined by
experts according to the business rules
Oh cNdlulUllS lllc iiudlTS VI pr utc Sol
porations would be proved to be run
ming at loss instead of a profit, as
claimed.
"Under municipal ownership the
chance of the laboring man for en-
ployment depends not upon his merits,
but upon his political influence and
pull, and If he is not able to use pub
lie water he still has to pay taxes for
the benefit of the rich man who does.
There Is no more reason for munich
pal ownership Of water than there Is
for butcher shops, bakeries, clothing
stores, drug stores, livery stables, ETC.,
and under the system of municipal gov
eminent in this country it is fertile
source of graft, political corruption and
bossism, a catchy slogan for political
campaign, slick article with which to
deceive the people and on which to
ride into office and machine to per-
petuate the control of the boss. 1t has
been APPLY called that vivid saffron
gold brick under whose glittering tin
sci turks delusion and snare.
"Nunicipal ownership is dead! Long
live good common business sense!
1t is a curious fact that the board of
aldermen which voted unanimously to
renew the water franchise was elected
on municipal ownership ticket Facts
beat fancies if they have a fair chance.

Present Ills Bad Enough.

While the most sanguine Of conscrv-
atives may, in their most hopeful mo-
ments or when smarting under the is
sues Of either individualsm or cor
porate audacity, feel an impulse to try
the prescription Of the municipal own
ershlp doctors, yet recollection of the
examples Of municipal employment
with which the past is rife is quite
enough to make one bear the ills we
know about rather than open a Pan
dora's box of other ills, which once set
free may never again be curbed or re-
boxed.-George w. Dithridge in New
York Sun.

Awful British Telephone Service.

Commenting upon the recent sale of
the Glasgow municipal telephone sys-
tenn to the British postoffice the Phila-

"The people of Glasgow are entitled
to commiseration, for 1t is a case of
ont Of the frying pan into the fire. BY
those who have tried it words have
been declared inadequate to describe
the badness of the telephone service
furnished by the British postoffice.
municipal ownership may be all
right In principle, but private enter
prise properly controlled for the public
benefit usually beats it in practice"
