XENlA'S LOSS $90,OOO.
Depressing Experience of an Ohio City
 With Municipal Lighting.

In response to an inquiry i'll regard to the municipal electric light plant Mayor Brennan of Xenia, O., writes as follows.
 "The city paid upward of So1 ,0OO for a light plant, and the cost of run ming the same was at the rate of S1O3 per lamp. The plant was badly run, the operating of the same being in the hands of committee of councilmen who were inexperienced and, of course, drawing no salaries, did not give 1t the proper attention All they got out of the sale of the works was $2,5O0. The city afterward entered into a contract with private corporation, and the price now paid per lamp Is S63.'
 Another authority states that the amount ultimately invested in the plant y,as S35,OO0 and that the loss when it was sold, together with the ex- cess cost of operation over what the lighting would have cost by contract, amounted to more than $00,000; in other words, that that sum represents the cost of the experiment.

known heretofore to the civilized world. Along these paths have been
 stumbling blocks. Our opponents are
 endeavoring to persuade us the sole
 responsibility for these stumbling
 blocks rests upon our public service system. to be remedied only by a
 change of system. This we deny. We are patiently studying the ways or
 justice. Municipalizers advocate cx- perimenting at enormous cost with public funds, with the principles of lib- erty and with the institutions of our country. In this we stoutly refuse to take part.
 We are conservatives in believing that it Is better to adhere to old anu tried methods based on our accepted national principles but radicals in the determination to discover and to stern ly rebuke and rectify any injustice which may have been developed by the present system. AS it has always been the function and duty of govern ment to insure that individuals shall deal justly with their fellows, 1t is now the function and duty of government to protect the governed against 1njus- tice on the part of these associations of individuals working under the name of public service corporations.
 Any government that is too feeble or corrupt to control with justice the con- duct of a public service corporation has little prospect of being able 1tselt to supply such public service with eff ciency and justice. Our duty is to elect to office men who have the intel ligence and integrity to govern effi- ciently. honestly and justly-men who can and will curb the unjust aggres- siveness of the individual or of the vol untary association of individuals and who can and will compel each to bear its share of the burdens of government and give in price, service or otherwise proper consideration for special privileges enjoyed.
 Our nation is what 1t Is industrially and commercially and in world politics because of the American character, de- veloped by the most absolute indiv1du- alism. and because of the American corporation, developed under govern ment that governed, but did not trade. Our duty is to conserve the human agencies that have made our country what it ts-the adventurous individual and voluntary association-but not to let them be our masters. This is the confession Of faith of the antimunici- palizer, the anti-Socialist.
