SOME HRISBAN;A

Don't be deceived by private owner shiD advocates who tell you that gov ernment ownership "has proved fail ure in railroads, telegraphs and tele- phuneS." The situation is this: Rail- roads were taken over by the govern ment and left in the hands of the sal aried employees of private owners. The same thing was done with telegraphS and telephones. These .alalied em- ployes were ordered to make the oper- ation of railroads, telegra phS and tele- phones a failure as bad. as expensive, as inefficient as iL could possibly be.
 This was done.
 Don't you suppose the postotfice would be a failure if the managers of 1t were instructed to make it. as bad as possible, to delay delivery, to increase charges?
 Government ownership has not been tried, but d swindling of the public, d rebuilding of railroads and telegraph lines with public taxes to be handed back later to private individuals. This has been tried, and proves emnentlv satisfactory to the private owners.
