The true and only function Of gov
ernment is to see to it that the citizens
are protected in their rights and in the
free enjoyment of their means Of live
lihood from foreign invasion, from the
attacks of criminals and from indL'
viduals or organizations that would
take advantage of the power derived
from wealth or privileges to Cypress
their fellows and1extort from them eX-
cessive compensation for services. This
involves the right of reasonable regu-
latiOn Of public utilities, but it does
not warrant any city or state IN un-
dertaking work that Oan be performed
by private enterprise, The moment
a government, either monarchlcal OF
republican, oversteps this limit it
starts upon road that has no turning
and that logically ends in absolute pa
ternalism or in ttate socialism

Unfair Comparisons.

One Of the commonest arguments adj
vanced by those favoring municipal
ownership as proof Of the excellent
working of that system is to compare
the cost of lighting under municipal
ownership with the contract price paid
private companies at the time when the
plant was taken over.
They are specially prone to do this in
cases where the municipal plant was
started at an early period, when cleo
trio lighting was in It's infancy and
when the cost was necessarily very
much higher than 1t is now.
They entirely ignore the fact that
there has been steady fall In price Of
lights furnished by private companies
since that period and that If they had
had no municipal plant they would
probably be getting lights at lower
cost today than the municipal plant is
capable of securing.

THE NEEDED SPANKING.
Hughes Administered II In His Two
Cent Fare Veto.

Hughes Administered It In His Two
Cent Fare Veto.
1t seems not improbable that Gov
ernor Hughes veto of the two cent
rate bill may mark the beginning Of
the end of what may be fairly termed
predatory legislation. The judicial
words of the governor are in marked
contrast to the attitude of those legis-
lators and city politicians who, with
demagogic short sightedAess, have as
sumed that the best way to win votes
is to badger corporations.
The recklessness Of these men has
brought tho country to the verge of a
business depression that is the natural
result of the sudden check to industrial
development, for men with brains
enough to make money are not likely
to risk it in new enterprises or extern
sions Of old ones when all prospect OF
profit may be cut away by an act OF
state legislature or a city council.
1t is great fun for the baby to poke
sticks into the works Of a watch, and
the infantile intelligence Of certain
statesmen" probably derives equal de-
light from their attempts to regulate
industries of whose workings they
know no more than the baby does
about the watch. Governor Hughes
has administered the needed spanking.

organization OF municipal employees
will undermine unionism than that the
unions will be able to keep the city
employees out Of politics. The fact
that municipal departments must be
open shops supports Mr.. Sullivan's con
tention and should be given mere con-
sideration by union men than they have
hitherto accorded It.
The Matter Of Wages.
These two Investigators agree that
In Great Britain the wages in munich
pal plants are not higher than else
where except in the case of unskilled
labor and in the tramways In this
connection it is worth while to recall
the words Of James Dalrymple, man
ager Of the municipal tramways Of
Glasgow:
"In Glasgow when we took over the
tramways we paid a better wage, but
we did not pay that wage to the same
men. 1t was paid to other men. We
got superior men"
In general Professor Commons finds
common labor better paid by cities In
AAA@~NN~N NAah ny COLlApuAAAGog bhh AAA
Sullivan points out that in many cases
at least the man is expected to earn
this extra wage by voting and working
for his political boss and that his
tenure Of Office depends on this rather
than on his efficiency and adds
I'm America the municipal enter
prises visited by our labor investigators
have been rich mines for significant
facts relating to politics rather than to
labor"
America Behind Europe7
One section Of Professor Commons
report is very misleading. He says:
Neither municipal ownership nor
p. ate ownership has accomplished
the good results in the United States
that should be expected Of it, and both
are far behind what both have accom-
plished in Great Britain. 3 We are
in precisely the same position that Brit
ish municipalities occupied forty years
ago in the gas business and fifteen
to thirty years ago in the street car
1 and electricity business"
The utter absurdity of this statement
is shown by the fact that in 1904, the
last year for which statistics are avail
able, there were in the United States
3O,1S7 miles Of street railways against
2,117 in the United Kingdom, although
the population of the latter country
was then more than half that Of the
United States. 1t is a well recognized
fact that in the application Of electric
ity to lighting and power the United
States not only leads the world, but
nearly equals all the rest Of the world
