MAYOR JOHNSONS CHANCE.
Cordial Appreciation Of HIS work
from Opposition Paper.
nd Leader Burton orgau)

From The CleTclAnd Leader Burton orgzul
The people Of Cleveland have decided
10 leave the control Of their municipal
affairs in Mr. Johnson's hands. They
have apparently reasoned from the great
prosperity Of the city during the six
years and a half OF his administration
TO a presumption that Cleveland will
continue 10 flourish while he remains
master OF the local government
Beyond doubt the feeling has persist
ed. in spite OF all the cogent arguments
10 the contrary. that Mayor Johnson Is
better able than any one else 20 push
the street railroad controversy 10 a
speedy settlement advanta ageous TO the
public. That conclusion is doubtless the
outgrowth OF the prevailing belief that
he must be given credit for the progress
already made toward such traction con-
ditions as are most favorable 70 the
city.
With such and Endorsement and such
power as Mayor Johnson will possess
hencefor;h, he has a great opportunity
II he rises 10 the level Of his popularity
and his fortune in a notable political
struggle he viii show his appreciation
Of the honors heaped upon him by de-
voting 10 the public service all Of his
abilities and all Of his strength he has
immense personal influence and com
plete control OF the city government
The tribute which has been paid him is
enough 10 stir every generous and high
emotion. He may well strive. as never
before. TO prove worthy OF the conf
dence which a majority OF the people OF
Cleveland have given him.

No Capitalization Of Mononolr

In the report Of the committee which
investigated the question Of municipal
ownership Of public utilities for the Civic
Federation, the following excellent prin-
ciple is laid down:
In the management Of public utilities is
left with private companies the public should
profits Of the future. either by a share Of the
profits a reduction Of the charges tho latter
being preferable as it inurcs to the benefit Of
those who use the utilities. while a share Of the
profits benefits the taxpayers"
Now. the principle here enunciated is
precisely that for which this paper con
, tends when it advocates a reduction in
the price Of gas. The loose legislation of
the past. in which the interests Of the
public have been given scant considera-
tion, has worked almost wholly 70 the
advantage OF the local gas companies. No
provision has ever been made in it for
the equitable participation of the public
in the growth and profits Of the business.
which are known to have been enormous.
The obvious present remedy for this fail
ure Of Congress to protect the interests
P Of consumers Is an immediate legal re-
GlFUen III the Price OF gas.
Here is where the question Of capitali-
cation intervenes 20 befuddle the reduc-
ton argument 1t Is the crucial point in
arriving al the price TO be charged for
the service Of a public utility corporation.
Whenever II is proposed to lower the
charge, objection is made that the reduc-
ton will make it impossible TO pay rea-
so al h1a 4 HfrrfT dc na
Then the corporation lawyers put into
the capital account every conceivable
item. In the traction merger in New
York, to quote an extreme case. they
capitalized the ''yellow-dog" fund. the
fees Of lawyers. the salaries Of officials,
and expenses, and even August Belmont's
contribution 10 the cost of the Civic Fed
eration's investigation OF public owner
ship. Capitalization is never big enough
when you want 20 sell out to somebody,
or demonstrate the impossibility of Civ
ing the people cheaper service.
Counsel for the Georgetown company
objected 10 Auditor Payne's findings on
the ground that they rated capitalization
too low. He didn't allow half enough for
the value Of the franchise; he wouldn't
agree that the value OF pipes that have
been lying in the ground for some time
should be computed as equal 10 the value
of pipes just bought at the prevailing
high prices; he couldn't see any reason
for putting a special value on the land
used by the company, and so on
But the classic corporation method Of
swelling the capital account Is to make
generous allowances for unearned incre-
ment in the value OF the property and for
the value of the franchise. The injustice,

the day for Burton.
OF course, no such thing was possible in
New Jersey, for there, as the modest and
sagacious Tim points out, local issues
controlled absolutely. and a deep cut in
the Republican majority was foreordained
and unavoidable. In Kings County Il was
different, however. There the President

A Failure of the Tariff Issue.

The unfavorable opinion entertained by
many Democrats Of the vote-getting ca
pacity Of the tariff issue will be con-
1irmed by the result Of the Massachu-
setts election. where Henry NJ. Whitney
on tariff-reform platform, polIed about
the same vote as Bartlett. Bryan Demo-
crat, and Hisgen, Independence Lacquer
put together. Whitney's vote was that
Of the regular conservative Democracy.
and only a trihe larger than the COM
bined votes of the other two parties
composed Of radical Democrats, who
care little or nothing for tariff revision.
The Springfield Republican observes that
IF Mr.. Whitney counted on receiving
the suffrages Of Republican business
men 10 a large extent. either in rebuke
Of President Roosevelt or in expression
of reciprocity sentiment, he has been
greatly disappointed" Republicans IA
vorable to tariff reform. the Republican
says. were evidently satisfied with the
Republican candidate and with Senator
Lodges promise OF revision after the
Presidential election.
II is true that il the Democratic party
had been united and loyal TO some popu-
lar leader. It's candidates would have
had some chance OF success. for Guilds
majority over all was not large But
the trouble with the Massachusetts
Democracy is that il is difficult 10 unite
the party on any issue. and the tariff
has failed TO supply a rallying cry 10 it's
dismembered elements. The response of
Bay state Democrats 10 a tariff reform
campaign shows that this issue will be
Of little value to the Democratic party
unless the Republicans fail 10 include
il in their platform. Such failure is ex-
tremely improbable i'm view Of the strong
current OF revision sentiment among
business men and manufacturers. most
of whom will he quite as well satisfied
as the Massachusetts Republicans TO in
trust the task Of revision 10 a Republi-
can Congress.
We regard Il as welI-nigh settled that

try may demand viii be undertaken by

Grover Cleveland never toured the coun-

Democracy found Tilden at Gramercy

We cite these two men because they were
the only Democratic candidates elected
President since the close Of the Civil War.
They were personally known 10 but few
people outside of the State OF New York.
but the whole nation knew Of their pa
triotism and craftsmanship and their
