terest between officers and monop- oly, driving the evil deeper by making 1t government controlled by an oligarchy. It violates the most cherished principles of free government; the very idea of it is repulsive; we instinctively revolt at it and are quick to see that it is contrary to the spirit of our institu- tions.
 MT. Allen R. Foote, a we'll known advocate of private owner ship of public utilities, states that 1t is unfair to compare cost of pro- duction and expenses of public and private plants, since a public plant has no expensive conflicts with city councils, nor is it compelled to maintain a lobby, resort to bribery, give interest in stocks and bonds to political leaders or fee able attorneys. It does not have to resist high tax or fight for new Legislation or ordinaces before 1t can extend or improve its service or make changes in its motive powers. These suggested disabil ities under which every public ser vice corporation operates to greater or less degree, none of which inhere in the conditions inn posed upon municipalities, tend to increase capitalization, increase rates of interest and cost of opera ton through fixed charges or otherwise and correspondingly to increase the necessary price charged users for the service ren- dered. These disadvantages are pointed out as he said to show that it is unfair to compare public and private plants under the conditions mentioned, but what this really shows is some of the great defects of private ownership and some of the advantages of municipal own- ership.
 We are not so presumptuous as to believe that municipal ownership will bring a political millennium but it is the only safe solution to this great problem, for it is the highest form of cooperative indus try and attains the ideal diffusions of benefit, making all citizens equal partners aud admitting future generations to the inheritance of past accumulations, improvements and social development upon plane of equality and impartiality.
 MT. Bryan says that "our the ories of government are the grand est that have ever been penned by human hands and that the truths of them may be reduced to four great propositions, that all men are created equal, that they are en- dowed with inalienable rights, that governments are instituted among men to preserve those rights and that governments derive their just powers from the consent& of the governed. 4 Such goverEment is impossibles under an Industrial aristocracy." But public owner ship abolishes privilege and antag- onism of interest, since it makes every citizen a shareholder; and so long as each voter can affect the character and conduct of his local government his interest will be in proportion to the directness in which that government serves and affects him. If he can regard it as his business agent, he will want to protect and improve it.
 Chief Justice Marshall of Ohio says that "a society of few men receiving the benefit of public util- ities is not desirable in republic

MT. President, Ladies and Gentle
 mem
 The subject under discussion to- night, Resolved, That the Mu nicipality of Conway Should Own and Operate a System of Water works is of great importance to every man, woman and child in Conway, and at the outset of my remarks I want to make 1t known that I am firm believer in our form of government, its plans and endurance, granting equal rights and privileges to all and special favor to none, and that my faith in the wisdom and patriotism of the people of Conway is unbounded. It has been my aim to gather from all sources possible and present in compact form a sufficient body of authentic information regarding all aspects of municipal ownership of public utilities to furnish the basis for intelligent opinions and conclu- sions.
 Tue primary function of a city and the fundamental reason for its existence is to satisfy the local needs of the community within it's cooperative limits. Municipal own ership of public utilities is owner ship by the people of the city, managed by them through their representatives for the entire popu- lation.
 Since we understand the function of city and the reason for its ex- istence, we must admit that the factthat public utilities by their na- ture and relationship to the city in- wolves municipal ownership as a function of the local government, is undeniable.
 Private control or ownership of public utilities is impracticable, since by its nature and relationship it belongs to the government and should give the best possible ser- vice at the lowest cost, while pri- vate business is conducted so as to bring in the highest dividends and net returns for the money invested. A long term franchise or lease is obtained for a comparatively small sum where we take into account its long term and the growth and development of the town during the life of it, which ranges from twenty to fifty years, thus granting privileges and unequal rights over their fellows, for the terms set forth in a franchise mean nothing less. Statistics show that a larger per cent of our American cities have erected plants for public util- ities much cheaper under public ownership than under private own ership. But privilege and unequal rights are incentives to charge ex- tortionate rates to consumers which produces a congestion of wealth and opportunity. The capital is inflated, the stock is watered and the books are kept secret to de- ceive the people.
 An able attorney, says Prof. Bemis, stated that his skill had been taxed to pump enough water into the stock of private monopo- ly to hide the enrmous profits. Prof. Ely says that companies op- erating plants for public utilities have been known to abandon inn portant suits where the courts called for their books for inspec- ton, and that our terrible corrup- ton in cities dates from the rise of private corporations in control of natural monopolies. Prof. Com mons says the chief source of this municipal degradation lies in the under handed and often high handed domination of city officials and machine DOliticS bv the cor
