Theodore y. Vail. president Of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
does nOt believe in government own
e->hip Of the Wire systems. He main
tains that the service in this coun-
try is far superior to that in my
country which regulates its own sys-
tens. He made the following state
ment in support Of his contention:
"Our telephone system has been the
study Of investigators from many
countries. 1t has been considered the
worlds model. not because it is the
largest. but because it gives the best
service and is more useful to the pub
lie than any other system.
81 am not in favor of the government
ownership Of the telephones. Our ex-
perience has been that it is not as
satisfactory as private ownership. 1t
has not been satisfactory in other
countries. 1t is poor in France. l
know what it is in Germany. and you
have heard what it is like in England.
1t is not the kind Of service you get
in this country"
Experience Abroad.
Others not directly interested point
out the necessity for private control,
giving strong arguments to bear out
their beliefs. while figures and facts
are also presented by enthusiastic sup
porters Of government ownership.
"Goyernmcnt telegraph and telephone
systems in Europe have usually been
prOfitable,' says Arthur n. UalcOmbe,
assistant professor of government ut
Harvard university. "MOSt Of the lar
ger European countries are too much
in need OF rcvenue to be able to afford
the luxury of supplying the public with
telegraph and telephone service at cost.
In some countries, however. where the
need for revenue has been less urgent
the service has been managed on the
same principle as the United States
postal service in the %past-that is, with
the emphasis on the service rather than
on the profits. In England, for Kan
pie, the telegraph service has not been
profitable. although the p%Ostofiicc as Il
whole is profitable, and in Switzerland
the government aims just to make both
ends meet. avoiding both a profit and
Il loss.
"Europcan experience with public
ownership of telegraph and telephones
seems to indicate that the best govern
ment administration can accomplish
what it sets cut to accomplish. If it
desires to make money out OF the tele-
graph and telephones it can do SO, or if
it desires to make the service popular
it can do that also"

SHEEP HERDER ACQUITTED

Wednesday, April 10, Sacareas
Macs was acquitted before Fed
eral Judge Lewis at Pueblo of will
full trespass upon the Rio Grande
national forest. Last fall Macs
was arrested for driving sheep
upon the forest without grazing
permit. He was in charge of
sheep owned by the Gilbreaths,
who responded to civil damages in
the case and paid fine of some
$l35. A criminal case was entered
against aes, but faulty prepa-
ration of the indictment failed to
include the point of crossing" the
forest and he was charged simply
with grazing The evidence
showed more crossing than graz
ing, with the result that the jury
released the prisoner.

BIG VEIN AT JASPER

The undertaking Of the lessees
of the Guadaloupe property at
Jasper in driving crosse s-cut tun-
mel to intersect the vein at great
depth has been successfully ao-
complished, and the Guadaloupe
vein at the point of intersection is
found to be body of solid quartz
23 feet in width from the foot wall
side to the hanging wall. Thor
ough assays will be made Sunday
to determine the values across the
vein. The miners have started to
drift on the vein.
The work 80 far is demonstra-
ton of efficient engineering skill
and was carried out by one of the
best organized force of miners in
the state.
Later-In making preparations
for starting to drift it was discov-
cred that what appeared to be the
hanging wall was slip and the
width of the vein is not yet def
nitely known.

night and, taking up the gauntlet
for the people, passed the follow
ing resolution, which will probably
bring the telephone company into
court to defend their charter:
Be it Resolved by the City Coun-
Gil of the City of Monte Vista.
That, whereas, the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph
company is now using and occupy
ing the streets and alleys of the
city of Monte Vista with wires,
poles and other fixtures without
any legal, moral or equitable right
or franchise therefor and without
any compensation having been
paid therefor.
Now, therefore, be it resolved,
on this 10Th day of April, A. D.
1914, that said company be and it
is hereby ordered and required to
vacate and remove it's poles, wires
and fixtures from the streets, alleys
and highways of the city of Monte
Vista within sixty days from the
date of this resolution.

TIME WASTED

The toll-repeal bill, which was threshed out in
the lower house and then passed by majority of
90 votes, is being used as time killer in the
Senate by members who favor subsidies and spe-
cia interests.
Congress usually adourns about the first of
July. There seems to be scheme on foot to delay
antitrust and rural credit bills until hot weather.
If Congress does adjourn without doing something
we hope the President will call special session
and keep the members in Washington until after
the November elections.

BALTIMORE PLATFORM
ANTI-TRUST LAW

ANTI RUST LAW
"A private monopoly is indefensble and intol-
cradle. We therefore favor the vigorous enforce
ment of the criminal we'll as the civil laws against
trusts and trust officials and demand the enact
ment of such additional legislation as may be nee
essary to make it impossible for private monop-
oily to exist in the United States"
There are also three more paragraphs along
the same line in the platform
Near the close of the platform, where jokers
usually appear, the following three lines:
1--WE favor the exemption from tolls of Ameri
can ships engaged in coastwse trade passing
through the Panama canal"
Evidently these three lines sneaked in when
Bryan was not looking.
THE latest crisis in Mexico, which threatened
to call for intervention by the United States has
passed and Huerta has agreed to apologize for the
insult to the and stripes 1t is probable that
the majority of the American people hoping
that the usurper WOULD not come across While it
is evident that Huerta hates apologize, we think
that he hated more to waste the ammunition for
salute.

THE JOYS OF EASTER

Ushered in by glorious morn,
Easter Sunday was a continuing
source of delight until long after
the shades of night had fallen.
Especially noteworthy was the Sun
day evening Interpretation at the
Presbyterian church of the Easter
cantata, From Death to Life"
Ordinarily a composer is at the
mercy of his interpreters, and the
artistic recreation of this melodio
theme should have been as pleas
ing to an exacting composer as to
the overAowing audience, filed with
the Easter spirit, gathered to hear
it's rendition as it was conceived
and passed through the minds of
the best musical talent which
Monte Vista holds. Familiar as is
the Easter tale, the story, although
with restraint and conference, emo
tionally expressed, placed the en-
tire audience in a friendly and de-
votional mood.
Without particular comment on
the general program, which was of
uniform excellence, the musicianly
rendition of the finale, 80, Thou
Who Rulest Over Heaven and
Earth" with its consequent spirit
ual exaltation, was fitting close
to worshipful Easter day.
The last number on the Lyceum
course was furnished by Alton
Packard, cartoonist of rare abil-
ity, at the opera house Wednesday
night. His subject was Funny
People" The lecture, accompanied
by drawings, was true to the SUBJ
ject. The rapidity and ease with
which the artist drew his carica-
lures was remarkable. The char
acter of the men and women which
he produced on the easel needed
no oomments-their faces gave
them away" 1t is seldom one
man show can hold large audi
ence for two hours, which Mr..
Packard did Wednesday night.
DR.. Trueblood received the sad
news Tuesday of the death of his
father, W. T. Trueblood, which oc-

TAXATION

Our system of taxation is ridiculous. We tax
personal property and improvements of every de-
scription and allow land values that created by
the community to be exempt. When take, in
the form of the single tax these community values
for community purposes, namely the expenses of
government and abolish all other taxation we will
do more to boost Colorado than million Cham
bers of Commerce could do by telling the world
about our ozone and scenery.-B. ]. Salmon in the
Denver News.
The strike in the Michigan copper mines came
to an end Monday by referendum vote. 1t is
said most of the striking miners will be
employed rapidly they withdraw from the
miners union. While the fight for recognition of
the union and higher wage scale was lost, those
who return to work will be enabled to enjoy the
fruits of partial victory the company has vir-
tually conceded the eight-hour day and inaugu-
rated other reforms which make working condi-
tons in the mines far more tolerable than they
were before the men went out on strike.

this time he had nothing to eat, and
there was nothing in the edible line

gone hungry just the same II there

thing he did after he had satisfied

a fervor which, ne says, he can never

And so IL was that he obtained a
