How Jacksonville Does It.

Municipal onership enthusiasts are
fond of referring to Jacksonville, Fla, as
a city in which municipal ownership of a
public utility has been wonderfully sue
cessful. The municipality owned electric
lighting plant there has been successful,
and has paid large sums out of its prof
it's into the citys treasury. But the
overhead charges and the upkeep Of the
electric lighting plant paid. not out
of the gross receipts. but out of the gen
eral tax funds of the city of Jackson
vile, and the general tax funds have
even been drawn on more than once for a
part of the actual operating expense of
the plant. Seven cents z klowatt hour is
the price charged for current. which is d
low price. But each consumer, large or
small. has to pay a tifty-cent service
charge merely for having the service.
This ~ cents month does not pay for
any current whatever: it is simply added
to the customers monthly bill. So that
the average small consumer who used ten
kjlowatt hours month pays . cents per
kIiowatt plus ~ cents service charge
making his actual rate 1. cents per kilo-
watt \ plant which could not make a
good showing under such circumstances
would have mighty little excuse for eS-
listing at all

currency committee would not write a
bill to suit him. One of them expressed
his disapproval of this situation today
in these words:
1T is a fact that a few minutes before
the caucus convened it had been planned
to place the rural credits bill in the legis-
lative program. Word was received from
the White House that the bill should pc
changed so as to eliminate federal aid
to farmers to the extent that it is now IN
the bill. and when the subcommittee re-
fused to take orders like that the caucus
was told that the President would not
insist upon a rural credits bill. That was
the manner in which the control was op-
Grated.
Members of the Bulkley subcommittee
reported the rural credits bill to the full
banking and currency committee yester-
day. An effort will. Of course be made
to have it reported to the House from
the fun committee, but there is strong
opposition on that committee to ordering
a favorable report on the bin as 1t is
now written.

To Fight to a Finish.

While the subcommittee was at work
with the Bulkley bill Representative
Thompson was busy making his fli5us-
tcring fight. just as Representative Win
go OF Texas had done the day pre-
vious. Representative Ragsdale of South
Carolina a member of the Rulkey sub
committee and a .strong rural credits
advocate. said that the bill would be
fought through to finish if possible.
Representative Underwood lectured the
fiIbust.rS in rather strong language
Representative Wingo and Representa-
tive Thompson warmly resented this, and
promised to keep on tilibustering until
the rural credits bill was given a place
on the calendar. Representative nder-
wood said he favored such legislation,
but pointed out that no committee report
on bill had been received by the House.
For that reason the rural credits men
determined to do everything in their
power to get n report on the Bulkley
bill.

city sold that plant for $4,000, d private

program Of municipalizaton of public

OF more than 300 failures of municipality

against the ''inh;ction'' of such a system
on the National Capital Mr.. Reeside's 5
statement follows:
The Commissioners of the District of
columbia have been freely quoted as
advocating the municipalization of the
public utilities of the District. Public
speakers on more than one occasion
have advanced arguments favoring mu-
uiyipal ownership.
That these arguments have little or no
basis beyond a beautiful theory and that
the practicability of municipal ownership
has been disproven in this country in
more than 2yIt cases are facts OF which
the general public has little or no lsnowl-

Notable changes in conditions of
commerce and industry in the United

parent from a recent analysis of the
foreign trade Of 1918. in comparison
with that of 1908, according to the
Department OF Commerce. In the rec
ord of imports, to which the present
discussion is devoted. il is noted that
certain articles. which ten years ago
were imported in large quantities, show
greatly diminished shipments in more
recent years: others have remained
practically stationary. while still
others, chiefly foodstuffs. which a few
years ago were produced in sufficient
quantities to meet the home demand
