country.
Here's what Delos Wilcox, New
Yorks former franchise expert, has
to say about public utility control:
The principle of state regulations
was put forward few years ago to
protect the people and at the same
time give the corporations fair deal.
The corporations are all coVerted to
this idea. They not only welcome it,
but insist on having it. They are SO
enthusiastic over it that they help
write the laws and appoint the COM
missioners.'

CONTROL OF PUBLIC UTILITY
MONoPOLIES URGED

MONOPOLlES URGED
The kindness of American people
in refusing to send big public crooks
to Jail for fear of contaminating the
prisoners already there; the futile at
tempts to control the public utility
companies, and the rapidly growing
monarchial fortunes we're discussed
by Benjamin C. Marsh before the
Public Ownership league at its meet
ing yesterday.
Marsh is secretary of the Assn for
an Equitable Federal Income Tax,
which has it's headquarters in New
York City. This assn is trying to re-
duce the debt of American cities,
which Marsh estimates is $780,
100000. 1t also wants to tax land at
it's selling price, public utilities at
their monopoly value and put heavy
tax on the "unearned increment" of
American millionaires, i. e., the mo-
ney they pull down by divine right.
"Public control of public utilities
is a joke. The people have to exter-
inmate privilege or be done to death
by privilege" Marsh started out. 81
understand that you have deaf and
dumb public utility comm in III. Well,
we have a couple of them in New
York, and there is only one or two
men on each comm that isn't either
crook or a coward or an unhappy
combination of both.
Marsh then went on to tell of the
crookedness of the commissioners in
New York and how, when their rot
tenness was exposed, the state failed
to send them to Jail for year they
would contaminate THE prisoners.
"The only way we can get at these
corporations is to tax their monopoly
into the public treasury. A conserV-
atfve figure on the value of public
utility companies of the U. S. is
