POOR MAY HAVE GOVT.
Chicago News.)

(ChicagO News.)
St. Louis city hospital, a charit-
able institution, reports the treat
ment of 81 cases of govt within the
last year. This seems TO explode
a hoary tradition. Govt long has
been thought exclusively a rich
mans disease. One of the LIBERATED
blessings of poverty was immunity
from govt. Govt was supposed TO
be one of the punishments visited
by the excellent law of compensa-
ton upon the rich man who in
dulged in high living at the expense
Of his down-trodden brother.
We shall have TO recast our
values Govt that once called up
the vision of a testy old plutocrat
full of ancient port and young
capOn, now may bring 10 mind a
thin pauper on a bed of pain in a
charity hospital. Novelists can no
longer use govt only as a property
in scenes involving cruel rich
uncles or reactiOnary noblemen with
mad tempers and worse morals.
They may now depict the equity beg
gar as well as the equity prince.

ton here Tuesday night Os Mayor
bred vs.. Keller Of South Bend in an
address before the Municipal League
Of Indiana Mayor Keller attacked
the feasibility Of fixing the munic-
ipal debt limit by constitutional meth
DDS and instead advocated the plan
OF placing &c before the people for a
popular vote
The present low limit he said is
the one big stone In the path of
many cities owning public utilities.
10 was fixed by the constitution in
1881 at two per cent of the assessed
valuation OF property in the cor
poration and on investigation is
found 10 be the lowest OF any state

that conditions since 1881 have

Mayor Keller said IN part
IF the citizens Of a locality form

pose OF performing certain acts
which they cannot do individually
then they should not be limited in
their rights by a state law in per
forming those functions OF govern
ment which are TO their mutual well

Home Rule for Cities.
Every community now has large

Of political methods IN the handling
Of municipal affairs The man who
would vote for yellow dog on his
own ticket before he would vote for
a candidate on the opposition ticket
is now becoming extinct. Non
partisan forms of government are
displacing national political parties
in civic affairs. For the cities Of In

In the city of South Bend our

Of the property directly owned by
the city such as our parks. water
works. public buildings. etc.
1T might be availale 10 have the
limit fixed at a certain amount with
the proviso that il could exceed the
amount fixed by a vote Of the legal
voters Of "A city. either requiring a
majority OF even a larger percentage
Of the votes i'm order TO carry a
proposition. If the amount is limit

a city 10 acquire a utility an cleo

sufficient indication as 10 the wishes
OF the people.
Cities should be free 10 solve
their own problems without inter-
ference of a Legislature composed
largely of rural members and not
interested in the individual cities
Methods Of getting around the
debt limit have been devised such as
purchasing property on land con-
tract and other similar methods.
This means "A higher rate Of interest
than the interest on the regular city
bonds and the debt limitation is
therefore expensive for the city. In
many cases cities have been actually
prevented from doing things that
were really necessary for the COM
munity on account of the low debt
limit. County. townships and school
corporations have the same limita-
tions as the municipal corporation.
In some OF our rapidly growing cities
the school corporations have not
been able 70 provide the necessary
school facilities on account of the
debt limit The city of Cary is the
most striking example.

ing the tax payers about 100000
annually. As already stated. our
electric plant is owned by a private
corporation Soon after the present
administration went into office
petition was filed asking for reduc-
ton in electric rates. Early in the
present year a compromise IN rates
was reached. the company agreeing
TO make a reduction in domestic
rates OF % per cent the reductions
in all amounting 10 S45. 600 annually.
A similar petition was filed about the
same time for a reduction in gas
rates. Our gas company has recent
~ offered TO make a reduction aver
aging 10 per cent and amounting 10
over $4,000 annually.
If the cities owned these utilities
the rates could doubtless have been
reduced a $1,000 a year Our gas
company and electric company. If
municipality operated could reduce
rates 100000 each per annum. in
stead Of reductions that are made
through regulation. thus making a
total saving by municipal ownership
Of $500, 600 per annum. This is more
than the amount of taxes received
by our city per year.
Can Operate Cheaper.
a municipality can operate on
lower expense than private cOrpO-
ration for several reasons. The
citys assets exceed the assets OF
utilities. therefore. bonds sell at a
premium instead Of a discount and
at a lower rate of interest. No eX-
pensive litigation over rates is neces-
sary in the case of municipal plants
Higher salaries are paid by private
corporations. Private utilities and
their henchmen in their opposition
to municipal ownership argue that il
brings utilities into politics. The his
tory of most private utilities is that
with the other special interests
such as the forms of business re-
quiring a license in order 10 operate,
they combine to control municipal

never be worn in public.
The eve bath should be taken in the
morning and before retiring. The eye
