CRY FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OF THE ELECTRIC AND GAS PLANTS IS GROWING IN CITY OF ATLANTA The City Has Already Voted in Favor of Proposition. movement begins TO TAKE SHAPE GEORGIA DEMOCRATS SPLIT ON QUESTION Fight To Be Carried to Of ficials and Put Square ly Up To City Council. Municipal ownership and mu nicipal control is the slogan which is going to be used by several cit izens and city officials for the ^ext • two years. They are going to tell the people of Atlanta that they ought to own their gas plant. They are going to tell the people that they ought to own their elec tric lighting plant. They are going to tell the peo ple that they ought to control the street railway system. And to back up their assertions these citizens and city officials are prepared to give facts and figures which are going to carry weight. I They are going to tell the peo- ' pie that Atlanta has already voted for municipal ownership of an- electric lighting plant. They are going to refer to the records and show where commit- tee after committee of the city council has recommended the very thing for which they .are contend ing. They are going to insist on mak ing a fight to disprove the claims of the Georgia Railway and Elec tric Company people that the franchise under which they are operating the gas company was granted in perpetuity. They are going to present rea sons for municipal control of the street railways of the city. They are going to show the pen pie where the tax rate can be re duced materially, and instead of the profits going into the pockets of the men who get these favors from the people that the people themselves will get the profits Corporations Not Philanthropists. These are fact’s which cannot be denied. The city of Atlanta is a more powerful corporation than any of the corporations which op erate v.ithin its corporate limits. It has properties which are worth thousands of dollars to the corpor ations. These properties are worth just as many thouaands of dollars to the people themselves. Operated in behalf of the people these properties will yield the profits to the people. It is a Well known fact that the average cor poration is anything but an elefr moxynary concern. They are in* business in Atlnnta for the money they can make out of the people of Atlanta. To help themselves they have got to help the city to an ex tent. But if the city went to work to help itself just os much as the corporations help them selves the city would be benefited as much as it ia already being ben efited and in addition be benefited as much as the corporations are benefited. There are a lot of people in At anta who have lost faith in the present system. Thomas II. Good win is a young man who has brought that evidence to light. A -°t of people know Goodwin per sonally. Many do not know him personally. But every man, wo- nan and child knows him now by reputation. He ran for mayor re- gently; rqn ugninst a man whom svery one believed to be the most popular man in the city. Mr. Good- .vin was not so popular. He had seen in the public eye only in the capacity of councilman. His ree led was good but ordinary. When le started out to run for mayor Je told the people what he stood MR. BRYAN MAINTAINED THE VIE IVS AS PERSONAL No part of Bryan's New York speech created such widespread com. meat, adverse and favorable, as his utterances relative to government n'B remarks along that line were worded with all the con summate s|flll for which he le famed. While he commits himself person ally to government ownership, nowhere does It appear that he commit* hie party to It, or will he insist that It be one of the great Issues of the i order to clarify the atmosphere and place before the public Mr. Bryan a exact position, hta utterances relative to thle matter aro here with reproduced: ■'I have already reached the conclusion that railroads partake ao much of the nature of a monopoly that they must ultimately become public property and bo managed by public officials In the Interest of the whole community, In accordance with the well defined theory that public owner ship la necessary where competition la impossible. "I do not know whether a majority of the members of the party to which I have the honor to belong believe In the government ownership of railroads, but my theory la that no man can call a mass convention to decide what he himself shall think. I have reached the conclusion that there will be no permanent relief on the railroad question from dlsrrtin (nation between Individuals and between places, and from extortlnnnte rates, until the railroads are the property of the government and operated by tho government In the Interests of the people. that this solution, be It far or near, is the ultimate solution. But, my friends, to me the dangerous centralisation Is a danger that can not be brushed aside. The greatest danger of a republic la the consolidation of all power at the capital remote from the people, and because I believe that the ownership of all the railroads by the Federal government would so centralize power as to virtually obliterate state line. Instead of favor ing the Federal ownership of all railroads, I favor the Federal ownership of trunk lines only, and the state ownership of all the rest of the rail roads.” BASEBALL s FIGHT Atlanta 000-000 001 --1 N.Orl’ns-—000 100 000-1 Many of Local Party Leaders Too Dazed To Discuss It. People Voted for Principle. Municipal ownership was the trongest plank in his platform. A rreat majority of the people smil- '* at Goodwin—at first. Then ome of that great majority got to kinking. Then they got serious, ■'hen election day rolled around Continued on Pago Three. Governor Joseph M. Terrell favors government ownership of railroads, along the lines laid down by Bryan In his New York speech. So does Secretary of State Phil Cook. Comptroller General William A. Wright and State Treasurer R. E. Park are opposed to It. Attorney Gen eral Hart was out of the city Saturday and no expression of opinion could be obtained- from- him. But many of the men prominent In the political affairs of the state ahy when approached for any expression of opinion along this line. Moet of them meet the query for an expression of opinion with the state ment: "I do not care to be quoted. It Is a big question, and ons which 1 have not had time to thoroughly dlgeet. Is too vital a matter to give an off* hand orlnlon on." Wateon Strangely Silent. Even Thomas Wateon, who reached Atlanta Friday evening from Thomaon, en route to Afton, Virginia, to visit hia son for several days, when seen Satur day morning at the Piedmont, declined absolutely to express any view on that question, or, In fact, any other. My views on government ownership of railroads are too well known for me to say anything further,” Was all he would e.'.y to persistent questioning, Government ownership of the rail ways was one of the leading planks In Mr. Watson’s' presidential platform In 1904. Editor James R. Gray, of The Jour nal. and Speaker John M. Slaton de clined to express any view on the -sub Jcct. I have not had an opportunity to digest the matter In my own mind yet," said Mr. Gray. '1 do not care to make any state ment now, because It Is toe big a ques tlon for nn off-hand opinion,” said Speaker Slaton. Clark Howell, editor of The Atlanta Constitution and national committee man for Georgia, said: "Give Commission a Chines.' "Unless the Inter-state commerce commlealon, by authority recently vested In It by congress, meets every demand of the public aa to railroad rate re-adjustment, government own ership of railroads will be the dominat ing political Issue In the near future, What the people want Is results, and they are not so particular aa to how they are brought about. "If private control le absolute and satisfactory, and the Interstate com merce commission meets the demand of the people by establishing satisfactory rates, then the question of government ownership will be postponed, and per* haps entirely eliminated aa an leans. Th^piatter Is largely In the hands of lilt the' iterstate commerce commission.” A Republican's Visws. Colonel Robert J. Lowry, president of the Lowry National Bank, and one of the leading Southern Republicans, said: I do not believe this country •» yet ripe for government ownership of rail roads, telegraphs, telephones and other great public utilities, for the one leads Inevitably to the other.' In my mind there Is' doubt as to whether we shall ever reach that stage. Such centrall- that should be approached care and caution. "To my mind government ownership of railroads would mean the placing of too much power In the hands of —' >1 party. It would mean the perpetuation of the any political party, tcally pfact.—. — . - party that might be In power when such a law became effective. I think It Is purely visionary now to talk of such thin*.” . . ‘ . An efTort was made to see Judge J. K. Hines, former candidate for the governorship of Georgia, pn the Popu list ticket, but he was out of the city. Four years before he ran for governor, Judge Hines In an open letter declared for ownership of railroads by the gov ernment. Are the leaders In matters political In Georgia stunned by this great prob lem suddenly thrust by Mr. Bryan Into public affairs? Reticence to apeak Jn- dlcatea that moat of them are chary of leaping Into the arena with any opinion on the matter, pro or con. Opinion Differs Among Leaden. Colonel John Temple Graves’ dls patch to The Georgian Friday Indicates that a wide divergence of opinion ex tats within the Democratic party on the question of railroad ownership. The conservatives, led by such men ns Congressman John Sharp Williams, of MlxslsalppL-mlnorlty leader In the national houee, Senators Daniel and Martin, of Virginia: Senators Bailey and Culberson, of Texas: Congress man L. F. Livingston, of Georgia, and others, shake their heads ominously at the Idea. What It designated on the other hand as the radicals applauded Mr. Bryan'e utterances along this line? What significance attaches to Tom i’s declination to express Watson opinion? Usuaully he Is free about expressing his views on such funda mental Issues. That ha has favored for some years government ownership Is well known. Why, then, docs he now decline to say anything relative to Mr. Bryan's views along that line? Who has the answer?

Twen At taat the qlty has derided to ad vertlse for bids on paving Peachtree street, and after twelve years of con tlnuoue annoyance the supreme court will be annoyed no more by the rumble of passing wagons, as Capitol Square will also be paved. These two Important matters were settled at the meeting of the street committee, James L. Key, chairman, Friday afternoon, and there la rejojelng ht two camps. The Peachtree paving proposition has been before the public for the past six months, and Its every feature Is well known. Friday, after a few minutes’ deliberation, It was decided to adver tise for bids and City Englner Clayton was to Instructed. The asphalt-bltu llthtc duel Is not yet settled. The paving of Capitol Square la smaller matter, but one which has been brought before the general aaaembly consecutively for over a decade, and has a* regularly been turned down. The state Is a part owner of tho street and the city has refused to pay the state's share of a new paving. The poor con dition of the street and the annoyance It has caused to the supreme court has at last compelled that body to take a hand, with the result that the court will stand the state's portion of the ex* pense. Dr. J. B. Baird appeared for the dtl xens living on tho street and laid the facts before the committee. Logan Bleckley, elerk of tlie zupreme court, appeared for the state.
