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

II seems not improbable that Coy
ernor Hughes veto of the two cent
rate hill 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 ~ politicians who, with
demagoglc short sightedness, have as
sumed that the best way TO win votes
Is To badger corporations.
The recklessness OF these men has
brought the country To the verge of a
business depression that IL the natural
result of the sudden check to Industrial

Unfair Comparisons.

One Of the commonest arguments ad-
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 clec-
trio lighting was in Its infancy and
when the cost was necessarily very
much higher than II Is now.
They entirely ignore the fact that
there has been steady fall in price of
lights furnished 10y private companies
since that period and that II they had
had no municipal plant they would
probably be getting lights at lower
cost today than the municipal plant Is
capable Of securing.

HARMLESS SNAKES.

II is not generally known that the

America Behind Europe7

One section of Professor Commons
report Is very misleading. He says:
Neither municipal ownership nor
private ownership has accomplished
the good results I'm the United States
that should be expected Of II. and both
nre far behind what both have accom-
plshed I'm Great Britain. We are
I'm 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
and electricity business"
The utter absurdlty 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
30, 1877 miles of street railways against
2,117 i'm the United Kingdom, although
the population Of the latter country
was then more than half that OF the
United States. II Is II well recognized
fact that I'm the application OF electric
fly to lighting and power the United
States not only leads the world, but
nearly equals all the rest Of the world

A Menace 20 Unionism.

Professor Commons considers that
trades unions will check this tendency.
but such has not proved TO be the case
in England, and Mr. Sullivan. who is
evidently a friend of the unions. points
out that II Is more probable that the

organization Of municipal employees
will undermine unlonism than that the
unions Will be able to keep the sity
employees ont Of politics. The fact
that municipal departments must be
open shops supports Mr.. Sulllvans CON
tentlon and should be given more con-
sideration by union men than they have
hitherto accorded IL.
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 IL Is worth while 10 recall
the words OF James DalrympJe, 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. II was paid 10 other men. We
got superior men"
In general Professor Commons finds
common labor better paid by cities In
America than by companies, but Mr..
Sullivan points out that I'm many cases
at least the man IL expected 10 earn
this extra wage by voting and working
for mis- political boss and that his
tenure Of office depends Oh this rather
than on his efficiency and adds:
"In America the municipal enter
prlses visited by our labor investigators
have been rich mines for significant
facts relating TO politics rather than to
abOr."

New York, Aug.-So much has been

INVENTORS HARD AT WORK
Both In England and Germany Appi- cations for Patents Show
 Large Increase.

Inventiveness is on the increase and brought last year, according to the comptroller generals report 30,- 900 applications for patents, which is the highest number recorded in any year, being 2,425 above the total for 1905, says the London Daily News. Three hundred fresh specif- cations are expected every week. One day, November 5, brought as many as 153.
 Women inventors sent in 600 ap- plications during the year. The re- port does not disclose the problems which were engaging their minds, whether for the benefit of their own sex exclusively, in regard to some simplifcation of feminine attire or domestic worry, or for the general good of humanity.
 Germany, ever vigilant and always with an eye on British industrial ism, sent in 3,257 applications for patents, which for the first time sur passed the years total of the United States.
 The years increased total is in . large measure due to activity in the motor-car industry. The motor omnibus has given rise to a con- siderable number of devices to pre- vent skidding. The continued liabil- ity to puncture of ordinary pneu- matic tires still keeps inventors busy; they are seeking other means of obtaining resilient action for wheels.
