Municipal ownership Of public uti-
tiles is the burning issue in Boise
today, and The Gem Worker is the
only paper in the city that is out in
the open for the success of this great
movement.
Municipal ownership cuts out all
the overcapitalization, upon which
interest must be paid; it cuts out ex-
pensive manipulation in the interest
of favored stockholders; it cuts out
huge profits that private ownership
demands, as it only aims to take suf-
fcient money from patrons to pay
running expenses and provide for rea-
sonable improvements. There is no
argument against municipal owner
ship and every argument against pri-
vate ownership with numerous COM
panies under ruinous competition, or
with one gigantic company that has
been formed by merger that includ-
es every form OF stock manipulation
known to high finance.
The new city administration is all
ready taking steps to forward muni-
cipal ownership of water works and
electrical power and every good and
loyal citizen should rally to their
support.
At the city council meeting held
Wednesday ofternoon, Councilman
Eichelberger brought up the matter
in regard to both lof these propo-
sitions. He said that in view of the
power merger the people in his opin-
ion, are now in favor of voting a
bond issue for the purpose OF estab-
lshing water works and a power
plant.
Councilman Finnigan stated that
he had learned from Mr.. Weymouth
of the government service, that the
government power would be allotted
to districts and it was argued from
this that the city could make arrange
ments to secure power from the dis
trict in which it was located, and we
cannot see why it could not be made
a district itself.
At present the city has contracts
with the power companies, but these
need not interfere with the taking OF
initial steps for municipal owner
ship, as the companies have been
very lack in their good faith in keep
ing the contracts in the past.
Municipal ownership of water
works is now the general rule in
American cities and city is not in
the progressive class that permits its
people to be exploited by private
corporation in this great necessity.
And especially is it imperative that
the city of Boise take advantage of
the splendid natural advantages and
opportunities that lie at Our very
door for water supply.
1t may not be generally known
but there are great publicity bureaus
at work to discredit municipal own
ership, and the power plants of south
ern Idaho have a publicity bureau at
work in their interests. The press
of this section has been flooded for
months past with literature from this
bureau.
One of these national bureaus
dealing with the situation in Seattle
IS called to time by Councilman
Erickson, of that city, in commu-
nication to The Public, of Chicago.
Mr.. Erickson points out that the
charge for electrical power in Seattle
is practically only one-fourth what
it was before the installment Of the
municipal plant Such a reduction
can be made in Boise, The Gem
Worker herewith presents Mr.. Erick-
sons communication in full, as fol-
lows:

THE DAY BOOK Dido y

know why the big daily papers never
said a word when the civil service
commission Illegally threw out the
eligible list for captains of police?
Why didn't The Day Book comment
on this criminal act? Was it thrown
out because of politics, or religion, or
to get graft? ~.
1t was the biggest piece of crook
ed work ever done by a commission,
and surely there must be reason?
Investigate the throwing out of this
list and it will pay you.
Ask Mr.. Hoyne to do the same,
and, by so doing, he'll find ground for
indictment of the commissioners. A
Jail sentence for the man, would
make Mr.. Hoyne the best-liked man
in the state and states attorney for
life. p. F.
