BLESSING MADE A CURSE.

Some time ago the 2O-mule team of the Death Valley
Borax company made tour, for advertising purposes
through several of the states and the itinerary of
brought it to Cincinnati.
While there the driver of the team announced in the
daily that he would perform the feat was
difficult one, of turning his 20-mue team and wagon in
certain street, without getting tangled
vted the people to him do it.
The actual accomplishment of this feat gave Mr. Thorn
Hunt in letter to the Cincinnati Post an opportunity
to show that talking of feas company had al
ready performed feat which immensely exceeded that
OF turning a 2Omule team in street.
The feat he referrrd was that the Borax company
had turned the discovery of borax in the United
from being blessing into a curse.
The way they did this, the writer described as follows
Previous to the building of railroads there
was no borax found in the United States all
the people of the United States got

But when the Death Valley borax was found the rich
and shrewd of that property to nduct
the congress of the United States to put tariff of
cents per pound all borax imported This all the
Dorax used In this country cost least cents per
AS that article is largely used that cents per
pound adds to the cost of article which borax
enters and thus contributes considerably
living, and on that account is less of curse
so that the finding of borax in the United States
Instead of being blessing by making that article
abundant and cheaper, turned curse BY com.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP THE REAL ISSUE.

The old game of cloudng the issues is as manifest In
this campaign as ever during the worst days Of
machnerdden politics in this city.
There is only issue in this contest upon which every
other hangs. If candidate is right on municipal
ownership be depended to be right on every
other question before the people.
The knowing champion of public ownership has be-
come an advocate the principle through his studies OF
municipal problems Local governments the fountain
heads of all governments of them radiae all that
good and bad in politics. We cannot expect the ideal
in the management of state and national aalrs until
we first and purify municipal governments
In the study of municipal problems require
very research to ascertain that all evil in local
politics emanates either from the of public service
corporations the special interests who expect taVors
from local governing bodies
1t folly talk about reaching the highest point of
efficiency in the management of city, so long as men
are office who have been selected because of
their peculiar leaning those interests which seek avors
from people. The friend of municipal ownership
efficiency from the outset but he recognizes his
handicap bringing about efficiency under the
order of things.
In the science local government the peoples con-
troll things they obliged to in goes
in hand with the promotion of efficiency in the adj
ministration of municipal affairs.
people recognize that in the past there has been
extravaganza management. Much waste has obtained.
Efficiency been low The citizen does not get the
best returns in government for the he is paying
in these it is very popular play
the preudces of the people and to that efficiency
and economy the essential in this
paign.
1t is not only popular to stand for economy and
efficiency, but it is perfectly SAFE declaration of this
attacks vested interest. The rich corporation
like it because it lower taxes and hence
profits; the passing likes it
because it sounds good, but do not be misled by
such subtle declaration candidate who expects to

generaltes. Something specific is demanded.
The true blue municipal ownership man, that is, the
who believes in it matter Of principle and who
has heart interest in its achievement, will prove be
efficiency in his administration of the cty's
affairs.
More than this, he will stand for all other good things
that have for their end the emelioaton condition
of mankind and the increase of human happiness so
as the government is able to bring it about.

Washington, June H. Senator
James, of Kentucky. has taken de-
termined stand against opposing an
imposition or countervailing duty on
meat and cattle and announced he will
carry the fight to the democratic SEN
atoriaI caucus, If his efforts to alter the
course of the committee fails. This an
nouncement is doubly interesting be-
cause Senator James recently spoke
defending the presidents attitude to-
ward sugar.
Upon a resumption of considerable
of the proposed CounterVailing duties
on agricultural products by the ma
jority members of the finance commit
tee, Senator James insisted the public
was entitled to free and unrestricted
cattle and meat, and said the listing
by the democrats of flour and wheat,
with a countervailing duty added was
not opposed, but his objection to such
n course with reference to cattle and
meat was so pronounced that the com
mittee postponed final action. Chair
man Simmons stated the matter is
ready for consideration by the caucus
SO far as wheat and -four are con-
cerned
Explaining his attitude toward cattle
and meat, Senator James said he saw
no reason to starve the people of the
United States because some countries
levy taxes on imports of the American
beef trust.
BY working until late tonight the
majority of the committee practically
completed the sundries schedule. The
featuTks of the bill remaining to- be
considered are the income tax and adj
ministra tive matters. The committee
hopes to finish Thursday night. and
the democratic caucus may meet Fri
day. Consideration of the administra-
tive features may be deferred to Mon
day and Chairman Simmons is plan
ming to introduce the bill in the SEN
ate week from Monday.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
whose plan for levying graduated tax
on tobacco output was rejected an
nounced he will carry the fight to the
caucus. He will also push an amend
ment putting a graduated tax on cor
porations incomes capitalized at more
than one hundred millions.
