MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP WORKS
 NO CORRUPTION IN ENGLAND
Report of American Commission After Two Months of Careful Study in
 Cities of Great Britain

of data on such questions as the treatment of labor, the ocst of opera ton, the charges to the public and the earning capacity.
 In order to find ground for local comparisons, they have also examin- ed British cities where there is priv ate control of gas, electric light and railways. They have found that prac- tically all municipal enterprises in Great Britain furnish the public with services cheaper than privately con- trolled monopolies do in the United States, but they have not yet decided as to whether publicly owened indus tries are operated as we'll and give as good service as private industrial en- terprises do.
 The commissioners have found that gas is supplied in England by munic- ipally owened plants at seventy cents per thousand cubic feet, that elec- tric light is sold for nine cents a unit and that the average fares paid on many publicly operated street car lines is three cents per passenger.
 Though there are opponents and supporters of municipal ownership ideas among the commissioners, they expect to make the report unanimous. They will not advise American cities whether it is or is not better for them to engage in franchise ventures, but will confne their report to placing be- fore the people of America the plain facts as they have found them in Great Britain.
 There will be no attempt to cover the shortcomings of the workings of private monopolies nor to hide any defects that have been found in mu- nicipal enterprises.
 The commissioners are now on the way home, and will make a final ex- animation Of municipal operations in several cities. Their report will De issued in October.

BUY A HOME

yours-for saving up money with which to buy house for cash down while at the same time paying rent bears witness to the general im- practicability of the plan. And then the difference in the price of a house bought for cash and of one bought on the installment plan is not often any where near as great as you imagine.
 The time ordinarily required by careful, prudent man, to complete payment for house is only six or seven years. Call it ten years. At the end of the time he will own the property-probably grown to be worth more than he paid for it. At the end of similar period the renter has on- ly a bundle of rent receipts and fur niture movers receipts to show for an outlay nearly as large as the home buyers.
 One obstacle to the purchase Of house by the renter is frequently found in the desire to own a better or at least as good house as he has been accustomed to live in, while his income seems to justify only the pur- chase of one more or less inferior. He or his wife, thinks he will lose caste by coming down little in the style Of his domicile. Nothing could be more preposterous He gains in standing with everybody whose good opinion is worth having, the moment he begins to live in house whose title deed runs in his own name. And suppose the house he buys is just a little smaller or cheaper. The cheaper, the sooner it will be paid for, ordinar- fly; and once paid for it can be sold, and the price put into a better one. 4 few successive steps like that have transferred some families from a home in a cheap house in an obscure part of the city to a more pretentious house in the most desirable neighbor- hood. If the first step had not been taken, in the requirement of a '''chep home,'' none of the others would have followed. And then, too, there is the matter of increase or enhancement in value to be reckoned with. It is often the case that a house bought today will double in value in ten years.
 What 8 relief it is, when the home is paid for, to find ones self no long CT called upon for the payment of any charges for his house, except taxes, insurance and repairs.
 And then the satisfaction of owner ship, of being able to dig in ones own garden, smoke the pipe of content ment on ones own porch, push the mower over ones own lawn, or show el the snow off ones own sidewalk.

It is an old and true saying that five moves are almost as bad as q fire But among the great army of habitual movers there are probably q few at least 10 whom, if they could De brought to 8 realization of the su- perior delights to be found in the ownership of home, it would be pos sible to make the selection of house, cast the die and joln the ranks of American freeholders.
 It is so easy to buy house, if one only makes up his mind to it, and brings her" to acquiesence. Prac- tically the whole body of renters are included within the limits of those who pay from S6 up to $40 a month. Almost anybody who has the regular habits which enable him to lay aside such an amount and promptly pay his rent each month, can buy home. IlSdl CSLdIC dSCAGS dl . Soi PA ASAASAS liberal nowadays, in the matter Of the size of the first payment. From $1OO to $500 down will secure almost any kind of a house. Such a sum can of- ten be borrowed if necessary. Where a man is known to be in possession Of a regular income and of correct hab- it's, agents have been known even to dispense with any payment in ad- vance larger than two Or three months rent. After that the problem usually resolves itself into paying on the purchase of the house, what one has been accustomed to pay out monthly in rent, plus the interest on the amount remaining due on the pur- chase, taxes and repairs. Despite the grumbling often heard from owners, the sum of these last three items is not large; and a good part of it is offset by the cost of annual moving" An average of from s5 to s10 per month will usuallly cover the excess over rent, in the case of moderate priced dwelling. The little self den ial required to put this aside is prac- ticalIy all the effort involved in changing from the status of the rent CT to that of the owner.
 The objection most frequently heard is that house bought in this manner costs more than if bought for cash down. 'So," says the renter, with an assumption of astuteness, I'll wait until I have saved enough money and then I'll buy as good a house for s750 as can get for s1,0O0, or as good a one for s1,200 as 1 can get for s1,- 300 On the installment plan." Very pretty, MT. Astuteness, But the wreck of ten thousand plans like

London, Sept, That public own ership and operation of municipal en- terprises in Great Britain cause no political corruption will be the chief feature of the report of the American Civic Federation comission that has been studying popular control of con- mercial enterprises in Britain cities during the past two months.
 The members of the commission have gone down to rock bottom in seeking facts as to what part poli- tics plays in British public ownership and they have discovered that as far as the English example is concerned the chief argument of the opponents of public ownership, that municipal socialism always breeds corruption is false.
 As the American commission in- cludes men who when they left Amer ica were enemies of public ownership this finding carries the weight of strict impartiality.
 No persons are given positions in municipal enterprises on account of their political views, and the chief officials continue to keep their poses, no matter what party is in power.
 The commissioners believe that this is largely due to the fact that in Eng land there is an absence of business rush, and there is no all-consuming desire on the part of Englishmen to spend their lives making money.
 In consequence of this. the best type Of Englishmen have more time to de- vote to the public welfare, declare the commissioners, and they are willing to serve, without pay, as mayors, alder men, and in other executive and leg islative municipal positions This national characteristic causes public offices to be filled by men who care only for making successful the vari- ous enterprises in which their own municipalities are interested.
 The commissioners have studied in treatment of labor, the cost of opera tion of gas and electric light plants and street railways. They have gone into the question on purely scien- tific basis, collecting a great amount

SUBURBAN HOME BULL

The Industrial Index notes the eX pansion of home guiding in the su burbs Of Southern cities as an incl dent of the current industrial growtl and development as follows:
 Never before were so many tracts of land in and adjoining Georgia and Alabama cities sub- divided and sold in lots as is be- ing done just now, and the num- Der will increase because of the demand.
 Among the notable suburban deals of the week reported to the Index are the purchase of nearly six hundred lots in a Montgomery Alabama suburb by a land con- pany at at cost of about S2000O0; the purchase of fifty suburban lots at Selma, Alabama. and the purchase of a large suburban tract in Milltown, Georgia, to be subdivided.
 Among other land deals of the week that reflect industrial progress were the following pur- chases Six thousand acres of mineral land near Tuscaloosa, Ala, 100 acres of timber near Hat ley, Ga, 1,500 acres of coal land near Wilhite, Ala, and 400 acres of timber and land in Wilcox, Ga, for S12,00O cash. A S15,000 land company has been organized at Birmingham, Ala, and s10,000 land company at Ashville, Ala.
