Asking why they should not really
attack Tammany instead of tinkering
with the symptoms of Tammany
why not strike at the roots Instead
of the twigs of Tammany, Mr. Pinchot
says the strength of Tammany lies
primarily in one thingzin the pris
waite ownership of public utilities,
such as gas, electricity and transport
talon. IN return for prompt finan-
cial backing on large scale" he
argues, "Tammany gives to the gas,
electricity and transportation mono
pofists the balance of power in the
public service commission, the depart
ment Of water supply, gas and cleo
tricity and the board of estimate and
apportionment. In short, Tammany
furnishes private capital with the
opportunity to exploit the average
man, and private capital furnishes
Tammany with the wherewithal to
deliver the goods. You know this,
Mr.. Chairman, know it, Tammany
knows it, and the public knows it.
We all know that any campaign that
does not strike at the electric gas,
telephone, subway, surface and ele-
waited road monopolies simply
amounts to kind of Mayday pageant

sticks or pelting the tiger with flow

Referring to the hot fight over the
subway contracts, the author says the
situation presented a far. more vital
question to the Wall Street hackers
of the contracts than that of the, lib
eral return promised on the under
writing. 'If the contracts had been
rejected" Mr.. Pinchot explains, land
public operation Of the~new subways
had been decided on, it would have
been the beginning of the end of a
gigantic, profitable and respectable
source of investment, and in many
cases of graft at the public's expense.
1t would have been the first step to-
ward the abolition of private mono
poly, in New York's public utilities.
1t would have acted as the opening
wedge toward city owned. and oper.

Municipal ownership Of public utili.
ties is the slogan wherewith Amos
Pinchot calls the New York forces OF
reform to arms for the extirpation .of
1anrnany nisrule., His views are sci
forth in pamphlet, entitled. A Let,
fer to the County Chairman and Other
Ghairmen," addressed by name to six
teen persons, including Francis w.
Bird. Norman Hapgood, Timothy l..
Woodruff, James d. Bell and Joseph
r. OGrady. Mr.. Pinchot's theory is
that no permanent reform can be
gained by turning out the thieves,
simply. and that paramount issue
cannot be made of such thing as pc.
lice corruption, this phase OF Tam.
many government being mentioned
only as one of many. Following up
his proposition that specific evil is
mot paramount issue at ALL" Mr..
Pinchot says:
The average man is neither a CAP
italist nor a property holder. He has
few possessions. He has little to lose.
He is an optimist and does not live
in the momentary expectation of be.
ing robbed or murdered. He believes,
of course. in honest police admins
tration, although he knows, as you
and surely know, that three-fourtfs
of the energy of the police depart
ment is expended in guarding the
property of a class to which he does
not belong. He is sympathetic with
the efforts of the district attorney to
convictl policemen and gangsters of
grating and of numbering each other
And he is indignant when he remem-
bers that members of the police force
are used to collect tribute from our
unfortunate sisters of the street,
whose lot is hard enough.
NO doubt the average citizen hopes
that Whitman will continue in office
SO that his good work may go on-so
that the graft hunt may. some day
reach beyond the tools and stool
pigeons, who have so far been brought
TO justice. But the average citizen is
not deeply moved by police. and Grim.
inal court matters. What he is inter
ested In Is his own daily struggle of
existence. And If you want him to
take a vigorous part in the campaign
next fall, YOU have got to hold out
a hope to him of something a good
