Municipal Ownership Objections
49,. -.-. Reviewed.

Editor The Herald and News:
Referring in the previous article
to literary talent employed to dis
courage municipalities from owning
their own plants, the strongest
known to the writer was from the
pen Of a Prof. Fessenden.
Even so, the professor undertook
to combat them only on engineering
considerations, and even makes bhe
concession "that from the very
essential nature Of the matter only
a. certain class Of engineering under
takings can be efficiently and prop
erlv operated by states or munia-
palities.''
It is evident that he wrote in the
interest Of manipu1stors Of Ger
tain other class of public utilities,
not impugning the honesty Of con-
v;ctions based upon the false reports
made by agents employed for the
purpose Of misrepresenting the Sue
cess Of trials undertaken in Europe;
which will clearly appear further on.
q Important developments general
ly come" says Prof. F, "only from
the hands of individuals or bodies
responsible only to themselves and
provided with the incentive Of large
profit Mark that well, Newber-
rians! ''The elimination of self re-
sponsibility," the professor sees
through .elouded glasses-no self
responsibility in having charge Of
great public utilities! Think Of it!
''and incentive" (of "a large proft')
''would inevitably produce a condi-
ton in industrial and scientific de-
velopment analogous to the dark
ages"
Would that the present dark age
(in some respects) which evolves
such purblind university professors
whose vision is circumscribed by the
"Big INTERESTS that support them,
may soon be relegated to oblivion,
and educational freedom advance to
the emancipation Of the world!
It is strangee that Prof. Fessenden
did not take US to view the dark, age
brought about by Bismark in Ger
many when he nationaized the rail-
ways, telegraphs and telephones, etc.
and Illustrate the dark ages in
Switzerland by picturing ride on
the railroads of one thousand miles
for four dollars, and then peer into
the treasury and see the profits, even
on that, going to relieve the. burden
Of taxation. And so with publicly
owned railways Of other countries.
Something Of a suspicion will not
down, that professors and others
attacking the public ownership Of
lesser power plants have an eye to
the arresting the trend Of public
sentiment in favor Of taking over
the greater.
So far for the opinions expressed
by Prof. Fessenden.. His arguments
shall constitute the subject for our
next. Vidi.
