Public Ownership

postmaster-Genera Hitchcock re
commends government ownership
Of the telegraph systems. While
this Is a severe Jolt to some OF the
old timers, IL seems the only So
luton eventually. The time has
arrived when big ventures can be
successfully handled by the govern
mont without any dishonesty or
graft, as our postal system for
instance.
We have a good illustration OF
public ownership In Marshall. Our
water department Is carried on
very satisfactorily by the city. Our
gas and electric plants on the
other hand are both expensive and
unsatisfactory. Slater owns its
own power plant AMI furnishes
light and power very cheaply. Sla-
ter has been very unfortunate with
its water system, but this Is no ar
gument against the plan, as II Is
moro a case OF hard luck.
Under public ownership the pub
lie is not at the mercy OF few
schemers or OF someone who has
a grudge against an individual and
having a monopoly can put him out
OF business.
