A Socialist Experiment.

The reports for 1907 on the working
Of the Socialist glass works at Abb,
France, show that the profits were
only $4,000. which means that the
management barely made both ends
meet, despite the fact that ready
outlet is assured by the support Of
the worliingmen's organizations. The
reports censure the nonchalance of the
workmen, who work as little as posi-
BILE. The number Of hours lost in 1908
amounted to 3,170. Last year the num-
Der lost was 1920. The breakagc
amounted TO Is per cent rs against
or 3 elsewhere. 1t is said that The
best workmen will not join as result
Vt their objection to advancement by
seniority. The management. which is
elected by the men themselves, Is stat

Senator Dickinson has introduced
"a primary bill which eliminates
many of the defects of the present
law. The date for the primary is
changed to the second Tuesday in
August; party enrolment Is to be
made at the April election only ana
no changes allowed until the next
spring election; all voters to appear
in person to be enrolled. The nomi-
nation of candidates for U. S. sena-
tor at the primary is made manda-
tory on all parties and candidates for
the legislature will be required to
file a certificate pledging themselves
to vote for the candidate named. The
forty per cent clause in the present
law is eliminated, as is the provision
forbidding state employees from TAX
ing part in the primary. The nomin-
alton of governor, lieutenant-gover-
nor, legislators and county officers is
made mandatory on all parties and
the question of the adoption of the
primary in cities is to be decided by
a vote of all electors and if adopted
will apply to all parties. 1t is be-
lleved this bill will speedily become
the law of the state.

Michigan Water Power.

The veto by the President of the
James river dam bill. because con-
tanning no recognition of the public
interest therein, or of the right of
federal regulation, together with his
announcement that he will sign no
bill granting such unrestricted wat
or power franchises, will meet with
approval by all citizens except such
as are interested in securing for
nothing or for a song, perpetual con-
troll of similar natural resources.
The Michigan legislature has very
properly earnestly taken ND the
question of preserving, so far as is
still possible, public control of the
states sources of water power.
Electricity. generated by utilizing
the rivers and streams and wired
wherever wanted, is the power of
the future-so far as that future can
be forecast. The Importance, there
fore. of preventing it's monopoliza-
ton. through the control by combin-
atoms of water power sources, can
not be too strongly emphasized.
Cheap power is an important ele-
ment in cheap production, and the
city or industry that is without it is
handicapped in the industrial race.
The work Of guarding public rights
in these natural power sources is one
that can only be effectively accom-
plished by the action of both state
and nation, and it has been under
taken none too soon.-Grand Rapids
Herald.

Tails, You Lose"

Mayor Johnson's Practical Application
of the Principle of "Heads, ! Win;
Tails, You Lose"
If the people of Cleveland had known
before the referendum all that they
now know in regard to the Municipal
Traction company the majority against
a continuation of municipal manage
ment would unquestionably have been
many thousands instead Of GOO. For
instance, in its effort to show its SOL
vency the officials of the company
Claimed that they had made q certain
amount of betterments. One such item
of 5000 has already been shown to
have been duplicate charge for prop
erty acquired under the lease. 1t was
also brought out in court that favored
insiders were permitted to unload
their stock through the private stock
exchange" ut price fifteen points
above the ordinary market price, the
stock thus sold being guaranteed re-
deemable at par. This guarantee" not
only became valueless as soon as the
referendum was held, but would prob
ably soon have been valueless in any
case. as the court has held that the
road was being operated at heavy
loss.
But the worst revelation was in re-
latiOn to the Pay-Enter Fare Box COM
pany. This company was organized
with nominal capital Of $4,000 to
manufacture new type Of 'pay-en-
ter" boxes. According to Mayor John
sons own testimony, he had paid in
only $1,000 on account of himself and
President du Pont of the Municipal,
who was to become owner of one half
the stock when he paid $1,000 to May
or johnson. Meanwhile the expenses
Of developing the company, including
perfecting the box, were borne by the
Municipal to the extent Of $35, 900 or
$4,000, Of which $4,000 was ad-
vanced before that company was even
Incorporated. AS compensation for its
risk the Municipal was to get its boxes
was admitted that If the box was not
success or the company failed the
Municipal would lose its investment,
while If the company succeeded the
profits would go to the stockholders,

Comment seems needless.
While Cleveland was demonstrating
that good service was Incompatible
with three cent fares, even in a city
where the average ride is as short as
1t IS in Cleveland, Chicago was con-
tributing evidence Of another sort. At
the end of the first year of virtual
partnership between the city and the
traction companies the board of SUI
pervising engineers analysed the re-
ceipts and found that Of every nickel
2.24 cents was paid out to wage earn
ers and la cents was paid for ma
terial, supplies and management. In
other words, every ride cost the COM
panies 3.3S cents without considering
interest on investment or taxes, which
amounted to 0.S7 of cent. This
shows that in a city like Chicago,
whether the cars are operated by a.
or by the city, three cent
or even four cent fare is out of the
question unless the wages of conduct
ors, motormen, ETC., are heavily re-
duced. 1t Is the low wages paid to
employees which. together with alb
sence Of transfers, make possible the
low fares of European street railways.
