OWNERSHIP

Resignation of McAdoo Spoiled

Capital News Special Service.
Washington, April 15.--Government
ownership will not be an issue in the
coming national campaign, 1t can now
be definitely stated. This, however.
was to have been the ISSUE 1t was to
have been made the issue by the Dem
ocratic party but its abandonment was
marked by the resignation of William
Gibbs McAdoo as secretary of the
treasury and director general of rail-
roads.
1t is admitted by the Republicans
that for just a short time after the rail-
roads were taken over the issue OF
government ownership promised to de-
Nelop a good foundation for the next
Democratic campaign. But the end
came soon, much to the disappoint-
ment, it is said, of Mr.. McAdoo, who
was to have been the party's candidate
on that platform. Mr. McAdoo pos
sesses one of the most farseeing minds
within his party and he saw the folly
lorg before it dawned upon his party
associates, and even upon his father
:n-law. Woodrow Wilson.
The war was barely over when
Mr.. McAdoo resigned, but he had al
ready experienced enough of govern
ment control, being himself in control
to know that government ownership
could not be popularized in the public
mind. He saw what sentiment there
mad been for government ownership
rapidly slipping away.
SENTIMENT AGAINST 1T.
Mention government ownership to-
day anywhere in the east or middle
west and you might not be mobbed.
But the feeling is running high
q gainst it. The public has suffered
sufficiently from government control

PROTEST AGAINST
OPERATION OF ONE
MAN CARS IN BOISE
Through Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric
Railway Employees, Motor
men and Conductors Object.

The motormen and conductors oper-
ating interurban and city street cars
in Boise and the Boise valley signi-
filed their intention of fighting the APP
plication Of the Boise Valley Traction
company and the Boise Railway COM
pany for permission from the public
utilities commission to operate one
man cars over their lines.
This was clearly indicated through
the filing by Edward E. Brown, secre-
tary of local No. 39S of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street & Elec-
trio Railway Employees of America, of
protest against granting the appli-
cation. j. p. Pope, former assistant
attorney general in charge of the pub
lie utilities commission work, is at
torney for the local. The petition Is
on record with the commission.
Some time ago the railway COM
panies made application to operate
one-man cars claiming that their rev.
enue is not sufficient to carry two
men crews. The automobiles have Sc
verely reduced this revenue. 1t is in
answer to the claim of insufficient
revenue the employees filed their pro-
acf

REPLY BY EMPLOYEES.

The protest says:
THE prayer of the applicant that
the public utilities commission grant
such applicant the right to operate it's
cars with one employee is inconsistent
with the public safety.
The period of time from January l.
1917, to December 81, 1918, used by
the applicant as a basis for showing
the number of passengers carried and
the earnings and expenses of the COM
pany biennially was not normal pc
riod in that it covered the period of
war, during which time, as is gener-
ally known, unusual demands in the
way of financial support of the war
and economies in other expenditures
were made upon the public, and this
was also during an unusual period of
financial depression in and about
Boise; that such war conditions have
yielded to peace conditions and bust
ness and financial conditions in and
about Boise have much improved since
January /, 1919y and there is every rea-
sonable prospect of continued steady
improvement in all lines of industry,
and in this connection this intervenor
suggests that the applicant submit to
the commission for it's consideration
It's statement showing the number OF
passengers carried and the earnings
and expenses of the company since
January l. 1919.
This intervenor asks that the ap-
plication of the Boise Valley Traction
company for permission to operate
one-man cars be denied at this time,
and that this intervenor be given an
opportunity to introduce evidence in
support of the foregoing applications"

me reverse of all that was said in
favor of government ownership has
been true. About all it has accom-
pllshed, so far as anyone can see, is
higher rates and poorer service. AS a
result of the calamity that has fol-

resentative James b. Aswell Demo
crat OF Louisiana, announces that he
VIII apologize to the house when con j.
gress convenes for initiating the legis
lation by which the wires were taken
over. He declares that at several con
1erences with officials last year before
he introduced the resolution it was the
understanding that all rates were to be
cut, some one-third and some one-half.
Il am the author" said Mr.. Aswell,
"of the resolution that was made the
basis of existing law taking over the
control of the telegraph and telephone
wires for the period of the war. / be-
ieVed in it heartily and worked for it

that am greatly disappointed and dis
couraged to note. the increase of 20

ARTHUR D. MULLEN.
Candidate for Reelection as Con troller on Democratic Ticket.

Efficiency in the controllers office is assured by the reelection of Arthur D. Mullen, candidate for controller on the democratic ticket.
 MT. Mullen has been city controller for six years and clerk in the control 1er's office for five years preceding that. Endorsed by the Progressive and Citi- zens' parties.
 MT. Mu1len's efficiency has been sig na11y recognized, having brought forth public commendation from the special examiner and accountant from the fed eral government Daniel A. Defandorf The latter expressed himself as very much impressed with the financial rec ords of the city and the method of segregating accounts.
 In speaking of the condition of the accounts in MT. Mu1len's office the fed era1 expert said: "The records and accounts in the controllers office are as complete and carefully kept as in any city in the country" He also stated that he found the accounting depart ment of the city, with its vast amount of detail work, in excellent condition, comparing favorably with any city he has ever visited in this line of work.
 Controller Mullen needs no introduc- ton to the workingmen of New Haven. He is widely known among them and has always manifested a most friendly attitude toward organized labor. That he will receive hearty support from it's ranks is a fOregOne conclusion.

sist that there's going to be no "acci- dent" this time.
 Two years ago, it is believed, many of his friends overlooked the possibil- 1ty of his defeat and voted a straight opposition ticket when, had they be- lieved his defeat even a remote possi- bilitN they would have scratched the ticket 10 the extent of registering their vote for him. This time they are go- ing to vote for Fred" frsr and the rest of the ticket after ward.
 This, added to his undoubted strength in his own party, makes his election a certainty according to the estimates of his supporters.
 There is no doubt about Fred Whitaker's popularity among the work ingmen of New Haven. He started life himself in the railroad machine shops and from being one of the best liked fellows in that establishment he has be- come one of the best known and high est esteemed men in the city, his warm personal friends extending throughout every walk of life, while his official standing as town clerk is of the high est character.
 Mir. Whitaker practically revolution ized the methods i'll the town clerk s office and after he was through pruning the antiquarian system that formerly prevailed people who had business in the office did not require much time to transact their business. They did not have to engage a room i'll the vicinity while they were looking up a legal document. The office is one of the most important i'll the city government.
