Mr.. Hart is also c-i ticised for not
promising special facilities for hauling
grain and stock or giving any positive
statement on the question OF passenger
service. We presume Mr.. Hart took
it for granted that his audience under-
stood that, unlike steam roads, ele ctric
lines to pay dividends TO stockhol ders
must give both passenger and ire light
service to accommodate people living
along the line and between the towns
and villages. To haul the farmer and
his produce to market is the main
reason for building iIterurban roads,
and farmers residing along the line Of
any interurban need have no fear that
their interests will be neglected.

the article is typical 81 the opposition
talk always heard when public improve.
nents are proposed. there are several
errors so glaringly evident that reply
IS necessary to clear the record.
OF the fear that our people may be
skinned in stock transactions, we
would reply that this is liable to occur
to the investor in any stock. A large
proportion Of stock purchases are spec.
ulative. The buyer. risks bis judgment
that the money invested will return
better dividends than more conserva-
tive investments. 1t is the investor
business to investigate before buying
and watch the companies afterward ia
prevent loss. Stockbuying concerns
only the investor and not the taxpayer
in whose interest Mr.. Daley writes.
We believe that before our people buy
stock. they should investigate the com.
pany, and the men behind it. If they
are crooked which we do not believe
is the case-we all want to know it.
II Mr.. Daley can point out any graft
and robbery, = can shed light on dark
ways, give out the deliberations Of

that 1--WE must procure for them the

Mr.. Daley's concern for the livesaoi
cattle and children shows disposition
to worry unnecessarily over troubles
that may never happen, like the old

President Wilson'S offer of the gov

Secretary of War Garrison refused
to give out the text of the telegram
until Goethals' nomination is sent to

the canal builder had accepted the
offer Internationally and for not any
specific term, apparently disposing OF
the report that he would serve for a
year as governor of the canal zone
and then accept the offer of Mayor

Postmaster GeneTaI Urges Pur-
chase BY Government.
ONLY METHOD Of RELIEF
Improved Service and Lower Rates
Would Follow Federal ownership
81 Telegraph and Telephone.

Washington, Feb. Postmaster
General Burleson submitted to the
senate the recommendation Of the
departmental committee appointed by
him to investigate the cticability
Of government ownership Of telephone
and telegraph lines.
The report declared that the only
way to afford to the people the com
plete and modern postal facilities that
the Constitution makes it the duty Of
the government to provide is by car
rying out these suggestions:
One That congress declare a
government monopoly over all tele'
graph, telephone and radio communi
cation and such other means for the
transmission Of Intelligence as may
hereafter develop. "
TwoT That congress acquire by
purchase at appraised value the com.
mercial telephone net work, except
the farmer lines
Three That congress authorize
the postmaster general to issue, in
his discretion and under such regula-
tons as he may prescribe, revocable
licenses for the operation, by private
individuals, associations, companies
and corporations, of the telegraph
service and such parts of the tele-
phone service as may not be acquired
by the government. .
United States Behind.
I The report states that the United
States is alone Of the leading nations
which has left to private enterprise
the ownership and operation Of the
telegraph and telephone facilities"
and that practically all of the econo-
mists who have. treated the subject
are agreed that telegraph and tele.
phone facilities should be controlled
by the government.
It is declared further that Theodore
N. Vail. president Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company. by
his statement that the telephone bust
ness must be under common control
and Sufficiently strong to- constitute
practically one system, intercommuni
eating, interdependent. universal.
has himself pointed out that the most
efficient telephone service can be at
tanned only under condition Of mo.
.nopoly.
The private monopoly has no incen-
tive to extend it's facilities to un-
profitable territory" says the report,
but the government must serve all
the people. This universal service is
accomplished by the equalization of
rates. In fixing rates the policy Of
this government lis to superimpose no
charge for taxation, but only to see
to, it that the service as a whole is
self-supporting.
