he secured repeal of the free tolls pro-
vision. In 1912 ne advocated economy.
but in 1913 and 1914 he approved the
most extravagant legislation in Amer
lean history. In 1912 he pledged him
self to preserve the sacred rights OF
American citizens at home and
abroad" but in August. 1913, he urged
Americans TO leave Mexico immedi-
ately." Notwithstanding they were
there by rights protected by treaties as
sacred as II is possible for nations TO
make. In 1912 Mr.. Wilson loudly pro-
claimed his support OF the spirit OF
the civil service law. but In 1913 he
disregarded that law in the face OF
protests from organized friends OF the
merit system in government service.

the law finally laid its heavy hand on

The British term "municlpal
training distinguishes very clear.
~ between the remunerative and
unremunerative enterprises of the
city. The limited extension OF
such functions in this country has
prevented a clear classification un-
vi recently. The American super
sutton has recognized the pro
prlety OF municipal ownership of
the water supply, but has been
timid about other enterprises,
commonly limiting them by con-
sutuuonal and charter provisions.
The report made by the govern
ment in the bulletin of the De-
partment OF Commerce on the FL
nancial Statistics OF Cities" indi-
Gates that American cities have
Sl.226, 100000 invested In public
service enterprises, OF which $685.
OOO.OOO were water supply sys-
tens. New York City's Invest
ment Is more than one-third OF
the total for all American cities.
A measure of the present extent
OF these municipal activities may
be seen by noting that American
cities have $4,000. 900 invested in
recreation. mostly parks. and
1904 100000 In schools. the total
value OF city properties being
about three and one-half billions.
IL Is safe to say that one-third OF
this earns a profit. Common prop
erty is becoming common.
The increasing amout OF paving
being done by contract labor has
led 10 the establishment of as
phalt repairing and paving plants.
New Orleans not only has a mu-
nicipal repair plant but lays as
phalt. brick and other pavements.
While this is direct labor" rath-
er than municipal trading" II
leads to municipal trading by
overcoming the superstition OF
municipal inefficiency. Pasadena
owns a road oil pit. by means OF
which II is able to furnish a uni
form oil for the treatment OF the
street paving. II has been an in
streets and roads in that section
OF the country. where oiled roads
are general. and where uniform
treatment is imperative. In the
last six months OF 1913 the city
took in $4,000 for oil. making a
profit OF $1,000. which is more
than the pit originally cost.
Los Angeles replied to sand
bagging corporations by going into
the manufacture of cement in or
der 10 build its aqueduct to bring
water from the mountains. Los
Angeles conducts a municipal gar
age. The garage houses all the
motor vehicles owned by the city
OF Los Angeles except those OF
the water department and fire de-
partment. II is responsible for
repairing all Of the power vehicles.

from the policeman's motorcycle
up TO the IRE Departments larg-
est piece OF apparatus. Each de-
partment Is charged Up for the
services performed at cost. plus
20 per cent for administration
charges. The charges average
about 90 cents an hour, as com
pared with Is cents to s1.O0 for
meriy paid for private enterprise.
The garage maintains some ma
chimes which are rented to other
departments, again charging each
department for actual service.
There is also In the garage a
store department where automo-
bile accessories are kept. The
city saves from one third to one
half on this material. A rose by
any other name would smell as
socialistic.
Kansas City conducts an electri-
cal supply store furnishing lamps,
stoves, and household appliances.
Twin Harbors, Mich. started a
municipal coal yard in order TO
provide its citizens with retail
quantities of coal at wholesale
prices. The cities are legion that
nave done this with market sup
piles. Weatherford. Oklahoma,
has a municipal ice plant and
Cleveland a cold storage plant.
Weatherford makes its ice connec-
tion with the water and light
plant. utilizing exhaust steam.
While Detroit, Seattle, and San
Francisco were struggling to mu-
nicipalize parts OF their street
railway systems. Monroe. La.
built the first municipal railway
system in America. IL Is run IN
connection with the wafar ana
light plant. II was paid Tor out
OF ten years earnings.
Saoetha. Kansas, is one OF
number OF cities that have gone
into city heating. It's lighting
plant also furnishes steam heat.
Newton, Mass: BLOOMINGTON.
Ind. and Brookings, S. D.. show
that there is no geographical linn
itauon TO municipal heating sys-
TENS. Brookings also purchased
its local telephone system in 1903
az an appraised value of $4,000.
Half OF the bonds were paid in
1909. the other half in 1913, from
the revenues OF the plant. II thus
PAID Tor itself in ten years. Janu-
airy i, 1915, IL had $4,000 to its
credit after paying for extensions
Inc charges are the same as
those of the old private company
$50 n year for office phones. SIS

These experiments in municipal
