Failure of Municipal Ownership.
Cincinnati Enauirre.l ]

Municipal ownership of public utilities is fast lTunning it's course. There few experiments lheng made, but there is growing let of failures land woeful of taxpayers money on poically-ridden properties Soon the deceived peo- pie will be begging private enterprises to take them on their hands, the Communists Germany now are trying to unload many of their undertakings upon private corporations and others privae man. agements
 The United States Census Bureau and the McCrae directory supply interesting information on this phase rf municipal ownership. Recent statistics bear on light plants. There has been a decided tendency in recent years for municipalities turn over the manufacture of power to private companies and hang onto the more easily manipulated distributing work In 1922 less than g per cent of the municinal plants in the Unitde States purchased their power rom private producers In 1917 the proportion had risen to 23.S per cent and in 1921 26 per cent NOW all the municipally owned and operated pants produce only per cent of the electrically power in the United States. Of the population e3 s Der cent. is served by private corporations and , per cent. by municipal plants
 Service costs provide another striking contrast and ah3w that politics in the operation of utilities Is eXpensfve The Census Bureau reports that in 1921 the average tax rate of cities having muncipaI plants wss $19.31. The average rate in cities sup- piled frcm non-m municipal plants was $155O This was partly because where municipal plants are ex- empted from taxation, that their political ma gers can have more leeway. the rates other property Is porportonately higher. Also because the taxes levied on private plants help reduce the taxes on ether property and to lower the average
 IL IS not surprising, therefore, that there shouI5 pe a trlhg of the public with municipal ownership ana operation of utilities. costly lesson has been learned by many communities where the experiment has been tried Others also will learn Ana vet there will be communities to rush bundv into tha clutch of municipal ownership in spite of an ax iperienee of others. ~ va

Yukon Output Increases.
Dawson News.)


 Yukon's mineral yield is the upgrade. Under the impetus of the silver mines at Keno Hill the precious mineral production of the Territory is coming Up with leaps.
 has been estimated the silyer-lead shipments from Keno via Mayo this year will aggregate two and n quarter million dollars in value
 The Klondike gold yield last year was $1,02SS05 and promises to be fully large this year.
 The aggregate gold and silver-lead shipments os the Yukon this year may, therefore be placed at approximately three and half million dollars. In addition. the slver-lead mining at Keno will tinue steadily throughout the summer, fall and win ter but the returns far shipments concerned from operations from on, will not figure in the totals until next year.
 The silver-ead mining operations being ex- banded al Keno at comparatively rapid pace. and the fact is of great significance. It also is ported big plans for placer operations in this field brewing.
 In any event the Yukon previous mineral output is upward bound. That is great deal than many countries report, and places Yukon in the substantial, progressive productive column and the investing public in favorable light Yukon is not only coming back but promises to eventually far ahead in time of anything she yet has ac complished.
 One beauty of the Keno development and op- eratons is that the work will continue the year round. It will be year-round camp so far as work lis concerned and that a great deal With the aubstanial showing to date and the starting of the big 3,000-oot tunnel at the 600-fcot level on the Treadwell Yukon works and the prospective insala- uon of other works on big operating scale Keno may blossom any time into the front rank of hard-rock producers of the continent.
