GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Government ownership of the great public service corporations, notably the railroad, telegraph, tel cphone and express lines through out the United States has for the past few years occupied a good share Of the attention of the public, and the discussion that has been gO- ing on lately over government own ershiD of the utilities in Alaska has done much 10 advance the sentiment in it's favor.
 There is now a movement on foot in Washington, D. C., for the organizing of an association which has for it's object the investigation of methods used in foreign countries in government ownership, and the advocacy of a nation wide adoption Of similar systems here.
 The purpose of this organization ls investigation, and not agitation. Il will first learn the facts and then give them publicity. It believes the American people are entitled to know the truth about both sides of the grelt questions of public owner ship of public utilities. Its scope will not be limited to the railroads, but it will include all public utilit- ies. In fact, the first and only act i've stens its members have already taken are for the investigation of government ownership Of telegraph and telephones. Municipal utilities will receive immediate attention, an the great question of government ownership of the railroads in all it's phases will be divided and classified and assigned to different members for investigation and report.
 The need Of an organization of this kind is apparent to every thoughtful person. Already private ownership has many organizations that give great and constant pub ucity to the advantages of private ownership. This information is eX- ceedingly partisan. IL often omits so much of the truth, or adopts construction so foreign to the real facts, that is positively misleads or deceiyes public thought. Immense sums of money are spent in dissem- mating this class of literature all over the United States, and there is no organization anywhere to com bat it or present the whole truth.
 It has been said that the transpor tatiou question has never been set tied anywhere in the orld except by public ownership. It is likewise said that it is a settled question in every country of the world where
The daily Alaskan., 1914-01-16

l public ownership prevails. It IS al- so true that public ownership does prevail in three fourths of the couu- tries of the world. England and the United States are the only cOun- tries of the first class not adopting lit. These facts, together with the further fact that the railroads are constantly demanding increased rate in spite of the enormous increase in business, have presented the Ques tion of government ownership to the American people as a live issue They are a careful and a cautious people. They will not advance in the dark. Up to the present time, they only have had gIimpses Of the light.
 Occasionally a great railroad man | like D. F. Yoakum of the Frisco admits they would save 20O million dollars per year upon the item of in terest alone. Then they say, if the government credit is so much better than the credit of private corpora tions why not capitalize all the railroads on this good credit and save all the net earnings and all the unearned increment which, add ed to the interest saving. would amount to more than 600 million dollars per year? Is private OWL ership earning this heavy toll:
 Having once adopted the inter rogatlon point as an emblem, the American people are ucw legiAa'nG to ask many questions. If private ownership is the only efficient meth od of handling transportation, why IS it necessary to organize inside parasite companies to transact the express business, the sleeping car business, the oil tank car business and the refrigerator car business. In the countries of government OWL ership, they are not needed. II rates have. been lowered all over the world by government ownership why would they not be lowered iu the United States? If government ownership has improved the condl- ton of labor all over the world, why would it not do the same ia our country? If government owner ship has improved the condition of service all over the world, what would prevent it from doing the same under our flag? If govern ment ownership has accelerated the development of every industry in all the other countries why not here? l If government ownership has in creased the safety to life and limb throughout all the world, why not in this country? If government owner ship has divorced the railroad bus mess from politics in every country that has adopted it, why not in the United States.
 These are some of the questions which this organization will under take to answer. It will draw it's information from every country in the world, and it will speak the truth. It will make mistakes, but it will always stand ready to cor rect them. It will decline to treat this as a partisan political quest ion.

CASTOR OIL Is
TASTELESS NOW
A Remarkable Step Forward in Oil
Refining.

Pure, clear castor oil, without
taste or smell, is a recent discovery
of the house of Spencer Kellogg &
Sons, refners of vegetable oils.
The Kellogg Mills take away the
nauseating taste, but remove none
of the good properties of castor oil.
AS Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is
merely a purified castor oil, it works
better than the evil-tasting, evil
smelling dose of the past, and does
not upset the stomach. Children
take it easily.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil has
been supplied to all druggists, not
in bulk, but in neat 25c and soc
bottles. 1t is necessary to ask for
Kellogg's by name, to distinguish
it from disguised castor oil, favored
with peppermint and other strong
essences. The urademarked label
bears green castor leaf, with the
signature, Kellogg's.
Made only by Spencer Kellogg e.

ers.

"a community where such a mi
croscopic minority of voters takes in
terest enough in its public affairs
to attend the annual meeting de-
serves the worst that can come to it
in management. 1t deserves. indeed
to be in the hands of suffragettes
exclusively. Rutland News.
But let's not be too hard on ST.
Johnsbury, dear contemporary. She
doesn't stand alone in such displays
of political indifference. While The
Messenger has no figures at hand, it
will venture the guess for your con-
sideration that Rutland has had some
city meetings called to decide import
ant business, where only a handful
of citizens were present. Indeed, if
Rutland has not had this experience,
then she stands aloof from the rank
and file of cities and towns here in
the East. To be perfectly frank,
there have been times here in St. AL
bans when one might well blush be-
cause of the lack of interest in very
important matters, such as the au-
thorizing of bonds, etc. But to go
out of Vermont. Boston has just
elected a man for mayor who cannot
be said, even in the most lofty flight
of fancy, to measure up to the. stand
ard one might expect the citizens of
such a cultured city would set. But
the Boston analyzers say that Curley
was elected because the respect
able" people stayed at home; the
very people who have the most at
stake. And so it is elsewhere. This
much is certain, city or town usual
ly gets just as good government as
it deserves, for, if the electorate is
alert, it will see to it that good and
men are elected to i'm
portant posts, for the competent
outnumber the incompetent, and
once they register their choice that
choice will prevail. And on the |
other hand, if the competent stay |
away and leave the election and the |
decision of important matters to |
those less interested directly, there |
need be no surprise expressed if i'll |
results are attained. No govern
ment achieves its possibilities unless
it has the sympathy and support of
