policy of the law to multiply the number of shareholders in our public industrial pursuits which would cheapen the rates to con- sumers and tend to an equality of fortune, lessen the amount of paul perism and crime, for interruptions wealth has always used poverty to effect its plans."
 If the municipal officers are cor- rupted and do not give the desired service, we have chance to re- move this evil at the polls. But if the council is corrupt and infiu- enced by a monopoly the citizen is helpless since the monopoly will continue to control elections and maintain a corrupt council and when the franchise has expired they will be able to secure another with equal advantages. It is much easier to dismiss bad servant than it is to escape from the clutches of fierce master.
 MT. Baker says that 1t IS easier to stop theiving and rascality by a common council than by corpor- ation compony whose influence would intensity the evil and make it stronger. He also says in the Municipal Monopolies, pp. 6Io-2o, that but few political disadvantages had arisen under municipal admin istration of public plants. No doubt my opponents will urge the great danger of the spells system under public ownership. have already shown that there is no way of escape when council and monop- oly interests are blended and that there is a commercialism in such politics.

"boss" who supplies them with a council of "boodlers. "
 When the council ot Toronto de- cided to lease their street railways, New York brokers interviewed them and when they were told that they must pay per cent of the dividends to the city they replied that it had been their custom to pay the aldermen but nothing to the city.
 Not only is oppression brought to the people by extortion and cor ruption of politics, but the corpor ations are ferocious law breakers; the Standard Oil Company took legal advice in laying plans to des- troy a competitive refining plant in Detroit. The plans were made, the plant was blown up with the loss of many thousands of dollars and life, the conspirators were tried and the judge took the case out of the hands of the jury and fined them S25o each. This judge was twice reelected and held his office until 1904. My honorable opponents may argue that such op- pression and usury is subject to the laws of the land, but there is no relief for the people in the law, since there is no privity of contract between the citizen and the corpor- ation. They have corrupted the courts in that they have controlled elections and appointments of the officers. Not only is the executive and legislative branch of the gov ernment corrupted, but the judicial as we'll; then how are the people to get relief?
 John Huston Merrill, author of Encyclopedia of American Law, says that in a case brought against a private water company for fail ing to furnish sufficient pressure to extinguish fire in a house the parties damaged lost the case be- cause there was no privity of con- tract between the citizens and com pany. A suit brought against the Plymouth Water Company for furnishing impure water, causing the death of three children in one family, was lost for the same reason. Although the rates were fixed and the father of the chil- dren was forced to pay for this polluted water each month; such high-handed robbery is a breach of democracy and taxation without representation in which King George and his parliament is but as dust cast in the balances.
 My opponents no doubt will offer a remedy for these evils by regulations and limitations, but this does not and cannot give a solution to the problem, since it develops more fully the spells sys- tenn and corruption of government still remains, for it gives greater opportunities for the council and company to cooperate and make a monopoly of the government, de- ve,oping a political commercialism. Under regulations many times ssthe council pretends to oppose meas ures that are advantageous to the monopoly in order to be bought of; soon there is blending of in-
