Municipal Ownership |
Shotgun, Counselor
Tells Club.

Municipal ownership is the shot
gun behind the door and the people
of Indiana should keep it well oiled
and ready for use on utility barons
who refuse to reduce rates.
This advice was given last night
by Sherman Minton, public coun-
selor of the public service commits
sion, who spoke at the Martinsville
Jefferson Club.
Mr.. Minton praised the showing
made by more than sore of mu-
nicipally owned electric plants
throughout the state and remarked
that the stockholders in none of
these are suffering from depres-
sion"
Municipal ownership of utilities
has been more successful from
every standpoint in Indiana than
has private ownership" the public
counselor said.
Records show that their rates
generally are lower to the con-
sumner and that no widows and or
phans are suffering from invest
ments made under persuasion"
He assailed the criticism of for
mer Senator James E. Watson and
other Republican die-hards"
launched against President Roose-
velt's recovery program.
Would Cruelty President"
Tricks learned by Republican
politicians at the feet of Wall Street
and at the elbow of public utility
schemers are being brushed off for
a colossal new deception of the
public" Mr. Minton charged.

can be taken as the signal to begin
