Tammany IN the. saddle when votes
are needed in the city council 1t
needs an aIl-poweTfuI political boss
who can make his puppets come
across and vote as a herd This or
ganization will go as to both parties.
Nothing will be left undone to get
the Merriams, Bucks, Kennedys, Nc
Cormicks and Rodriguez out of the
council and men in their places who
will obey orders.
Party organization is absolutely
necessary to Big Biz. It's the easiest
way to divide the people and set half
of the voters in town to fighting the
other half as Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. The working class will have
to be kept divided, Of course. Be
cause that class is in the majority by
overwhelming odds, and if they ever
voted together THEY would be the
government. So some of them will
be Republicans, some Democrats,
some Socialists and maybe others
PrOgfeSSlYeS, WeCS, DTyS or some
thing else.
A Wet and Dry fight will be staged,
of course. That's part of the game.
And both sides can always get big
campaign funds. The packers and
other makers of grape juice and soft
drinks can well afford to finance a
Dry campaign, for the more they
drive out saloons and beer and booze,
the more soft drinks they can sell
like ArmOUr's Vim Fizz, Welch's grape
Juice, Coca Cola and the kind.
The Vets will have plenty of
money, too, for the brewers, whiskey
makers and other booze sellers will
spend money freely to save their
business lives.

CATION:
Now, l don't object to unifcation.
I agree that the telephone, electric
power and light, artificial gas and
street railway businesses are natural
mOnOpolies, and that two telephone
systems, two street railway systems
or two gas systems are just as alb
surd as two postoff1ce systems.
And l can see where many ecOnO-
mics could be worked by one COM
pany operating both the electric and
gas business, or ALL of the street
railway system. But 1 think these
natural mOnopolies ought to be
owned and controlled by the people
themselves, and I am afraid the UNI
FICATION game in Chicago means
that the capital liability of the unified
utilities Of Chicago will be piled up
so high into the hundreds of millions
that it will never be possible for the
city to raise the money to buy them.
I have no idea that Sam Insults
gigantic electric dream is going to
stop with getting the street railways,
the gas, electric and telephone sys-
tenn into one big trust. The steam
railways inside the city of Chicago
will be dragged in, too. For in the
future there is a complete transpor-
tation system coming, with electrifi-
cation of the steam roads and one
big terminal company owning and
operating the now segregated part
systems. of freight and passenger
tracks.
And Commonwealth Edison will
want to furnish the electric Juice.
Sam insult is no piker. He's after
the gas company now and is getting
ready to stop manufacturing iIlUmi-
mating gas. But I'll tell that in an
other story.
