to their government ownership principles. But
the great mass of the people who use railroads
do favor such action because their experience IS
that they got better service for less money un-
der private ownership than they now do under
public operation. The conservative element, no
small consideration when we come to estimating
public opinion and voting strength are opposed
to all government operation of business from
principle.
All these factors point to the resumption OF
private ownership and operation of railroads
when the present war authority Of the govern
ment under which they were taken over ceases,
if not before that time. We do not believe, how
ever, that this will solve the railroad problem or
settle it by any means. Private ownership has
never ceased to be sure, but it will be live is
sue in the future and it is our judgment that it
will be succeeded some time in the future by gov
ernment ownership and operation, and that the
change is inevitable unless human nature
changes. Our argument must be familiar to the
readers of The Tribune 1t is not that govern
ment ownership and operation will give cheap
er or better service. At the best it will not be
any cheaper or better, and at the worst it may
be dearer and less efficient. We base our belief
in the speedy coming of government ownership
and operation of railroads on the conviction that
the public will never consent to the private own
ers of railroads making profits out of the traffic
scale that will tempt new capital to invest
their money in railroads. We are willing enough
to have a new factory, or any ordinary business
enterprise that involves capital investment,
make ten or fifteen, or twenty per cent profits
on such investment to compensate them for the
risk of loss But we are not willing that the
railroad investor should make any profits above
and over very moderate interest on his money.
Experience of the past has shown that new rail-
road investments are risky and often involve
loss of capital, especially in the first years OF
such new railroads. No wise investor is going
to risk his capital where at best no profits be-
yond a moderate interest possible, and at
worst his capital may shrink considerably. We
need more railroads built. We must have them.
We need vastly more equipment and facilities
for those already built. We must have them If
the private citizen will not invest his money IN
these enterprises then the government, or all
the people, must do it. When they do that they
become owners of railroads, and when the gov
ernment owns the railroads it will sooner or later
have to operate it's own property. The railroad
problem will not be solved by turning the rail-
roads back to their private owners. 1t will only
be postponed.

THE DEMOCRATIC CITY TICKET.

The democrats of Great Falls put up an usu-
allv good ticket for the consideration of the vot-
ers Of Great Falls this year. 1t is business
ticket The men selected are men VINO nave
made good in their own business affairs, and VINO
enjoy the confidence of the public in marked
degree. The candidate for mayor, Mr.. Newman
announces business rather than partisan
party policy in case he is elected. We highly ap-
prove Of that. We have had altogether too mucn
partisan politics in the conduct OF our business
affairs in the city council in the past 1t IS the
cause of good deal of our past troubles Aloer-
man Sullivan some weeks ago in discussing tne
south side sewer rake-off, voted for by SOLID
republican party vote in its inception, frankly
acknowledged that party politics was to blame
for it. It got to be the ordinary and common
mode of procedure in the city council for the re-
publican majority to call party caucus before
the session of the council began and to decide
in secret session just how each party member
was to vote on any matter of Importance.
There is really no field for party principles to
operate in as far as city government IS con-
cerned. It is business problem rather than
political one It is a question of spending the
taxpayers money to the best advantage and CIV
ING him the most service for the money spent IL
all the aldermen on all the tickets held this view
of their duty there would be little legitimate
partisan argument left for this newspaper. or
any partisan leader. As matter Of fact and
experience, we know, however, that members OF
the city council do not always act on such busl-
ness principles, and they are determined to con-
meet their own party friends with city salaries
as reward of party fealty if they possibly can
That makes it hard for mayor animated by
desire to give the people business government
where hostile party majority is ready to block
his plans by defeating his nominees for conflr-
nation We have had several city administra-
tions which started out with good intention
wrecked just there For that reason we advise
the voters at the coming city election who have
made up their mind that they want such busl-
ness administration as Mr.. Newman would GER
tainly try to give them to vote for aldermen they
feel sure would support him instead Of antagon-
izng him. And that means, of course, the demo-
cratic candidates. To elect man to office and
then tie his hands with hostile party majority
is not wisdom or good political sense, though it
is done all too frequently in our politics.
