GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

The Newland resolution providing
for commission TO investigate the
propriety Of the government owner
ship Of telegraph and telephone lines
and other public utilities has passed
both houses OF Congress. While the
railroads were not mentioned, it is
presumed this is an indirect way OF
getting to that subject since the
Democratic administration has leaned
heavily in the direction OF govern
ment ownership. II the commission

has had its fullest exploitation. The
5Dominion's experience is sad one.
One Of the arguments advanced for
government ownership in the United
State is that under it the profits made
by. the railways would be received by
the public instead OF going to private

private capitalists, they also, unlike
State railways. pay taxes to the pub

that the public. while sure to collect
large taxes from private railways, IS
not certain to receive any profits At

The modern commercial club
and the modern business man
realize that these shortcomings
are community problems and, just
10 the extent that business or
CARNATIONS are alive TO the need
OF providing suitable facilities will
the communities be prosperous
and the business man find his ad-
vantage. AS the community
thrives, so do individual bust
nesses thrive.
The commercial club becomes a
dynamic force collectively ap.
piled for the purpose Of solving
many Of the problems, which are
constantly aSgravaunS the Tela-
lions existing between labor and
capital, among which strikes are
by no means the most common.
This modern concept OF the com.
mercial club was not entertained
six or seven years ago. 1t IS re-
suit consequent upon business
men getting together and endea-
voring 10 grapple with their prob
lens on the community basis. The
commercial club has, therefore, a
humanitarian outlook which it did
not have less than decade ago.
1t has developed q community
consciousness, broug t about
through close association OF bust
ness men who heretofore have
been seeking earnestly 10 solve
their problems as individuals or as
individual corporations.
The modern business man.
while still interested in doing big
ger things, is primarily concerned
with doing things better. His
problem today is not so much
quantity as 1t is quality-quality
first, output second. While he has
been forced through necessity TO
take this point Of view, he has
nevertheless not been slow 10
seize upon it and use ii to advan-
tage.
The general movement for CON-
munity betterment which. | have
outlined appears 10 be strongest
in the west and the middle west,
where new industries and new
commercial organizations have
come into being within the last 10
years. plQer CltleS and states
have made some progress; but. Of
necessity, they have many tradi-
tons and customs, based on trade
organization ideals, which have
served as limitations.
The splendid cooperation every
where manifested between CON-
mercial organizations and city Of
ficials with reference 10 COM
munity bettermcnt is significant
OF constructive programs and OF
leadership which, In the near 1u-
ture, may no doubt be found in
hundreds of American cities.
When the American business man
once appreciates the fact that
housing. city planning, light. air
and genuine civic progress
every one Of them-is essential
not only 10 the community's
growth but TO the prosperity OF
his business, he is not slow to lend
his aid in a substantial way.

Calls on Supporters Here

Judge Ira E. Robinson, Republican
