Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-02-05

handling of a business has been en-,
trusted to the popular choice at elec-
tions. Private corporations cannot
stop stealing with all the care in
selecting employees. Public officials
who choose their helpers from their
relatives, and their political heelers,
can do no better
The Water System Must Be Made to
Pay.
Under private ownership it is up to
the Denver Union Water company to
make it's business pay. Rates are fixed
curing the life of its franchise and ii
it makes bad bargain, it must abide
the consequences. Under municipal
ownership, the system must,sstill be
made to pay, or the loss will have to
be made up out of the other revenues
of the city. THERE is NO SOME
THING FOR NOTHING SERVICE.
THERE is NO BELOW-COST SERV
ICE. ONE CANNOT GIVE THA
WHICH HE HAS NOT. This is com.
mon sense Therefore the only way
in which municipal ownership can
give lower rates is on lower cost OF
securing and distributing the water, or
of doing away with the profit that goes
with private ownership. The cost OF
maintenance can hardly oe shaved
down. Who ever heard of a public con-
tract which does not fatten some of
ficial's purse?
These Conditions Will Surely Obtain.
Every labor contract will be fought
for by some labor union. Water rights
must be maintained to provide for the
future growth of the city at the same
heavy expense the private company
now bears. Extensions of the system
will mean private graft then for water
commissioners and their friends the
same as now city officials are charged
with using their knowledge of the ex-
tensions of the park and boulevard
system to secure valuable options on
land. But this is minor matter COM
pared with the log-rolling and political
trading which would come. With a
private corporation under definite con-
tract In return for its franchise, any
citizen can get justice in the courts,
but the city cannot be sued in such
q matter. It will hold no franchise to
supply water, and no contract will
bind its commissioners to act in any
given naaher.
We entirely agree with the Rocky
Mountain News when 1t says:
"The direct relation between
effort and reward, which stimu-
lates private enterprise, is and al
ways must be absent from public
work; and its absence alone is
quite enough to account for
lower level Of efficiency"
This lowering Of efficiency, the raise
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-02-05

of cost due to waste and graft, usually
estimated in public enterprises at 4U
per cent, places handicap upon
municipal ownership difficult for it 10
overcome. Any discussion Of this
question must take them into ac-
count.
Business, whether public or pri-
vate, must be run right to succeed.
There is no divine unction in the citi-
zen's vote that makes infallible an
official chosen at the polls and directs
his efforts in the one perfect way. On
the contrary. politics as played in this
country usually gets choice of evils
land rarely represents the highest in
|telligence or greatest honesty. Let
us not delude ourselves. Communism
may be ideal. 1t may mean the great
est good for all, but SO long as self
ishness is the handspring of human
activity, we may not expect anything
grounded on communism to be free
from human frailty. Add to this the
same difficulties which beset private
enterprises, and it is clear why we ap-
peal to the colored citizens to con
slider well. Chase no pot of gold at
the end Of rainbow, because some
zealot believes his dream creatures
are real.
