MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS
Continued from Page One.
I am pleased, therefore, to All -out your
blank.
"In this connection I desire to ex
press my appreciation of your edito
rials appearing In your paper, espe
dally on the negro problem I trust
that you will be successful in both the
negro solution and municipal owner
•hip."
Mr. Boone Is not one of those who
has to wait until he sees which way
the political wind lies before he spenks
out. There are a lot of little politicians
who are waiting to set what sort of
velocity this municipal ownership gale
Is going to take on. When they see I
about to overwhelm them they are go
Ing to shin up the municipal ownership
plank and cry out that they have al
ways been for municipal ownership.
But the people know who Is for them
and who Is against them. The bell
weathers are doing the brother rabbit
stunt—"layln' low an* sayln* nuthln”’—
but they will be crying aloud before
very long.
8traightout Municipal Ownership.
Aldlne Chambers, an attorney with
offices At 226-228 Equitable building,
has this to say on the subject:
-^’Please place my name on the roll of
members of the Municipal Ownership
League. I think that the city should
own and operate Its light, gAs and
heating plants, and Its telephone lines
and street car system. 1 believe In the
principle of government ownership of
all public utilities. For fifteen years *
have talked and worked, and since
have been voting, have voted as near
ly for these principles as the condl
tlon* of campaigns would permit.
"I trust that you will keep up the
fight until It Is won, nnd then we will
look for other service utilities to es
tablish and other public monopolies to
crush.**
The Voice of the People.
"I heartily approve of your plan,'
wrote T. C. Laird, an Insurance man.
We are glad, and we might add that
there are hundreds of others who ap
prove of our plan, but who have not
taken the trouble to come out boldly
and say so.
"The sooner the better for all of our
people," wrote C. H. Allen, of 205 Bass
street. Mr. Allen Is tight.
Dr. Joseph Broughton, a dentist, with
offices In the Fourth National Bunk
building, writes that he "believes In the
city owning gas, electric lights, water,
street cars, etc."
O. Q. Barefleld, of 909 Fourth Na
tional Bank b(Biding, says: "It Is a
good thing; push It along." We made
some remarks Monday afternoon rela
live to "pushing It along."
W. N. Reeves, a bookkeeper, with
offices In the Fourth National Bank
building, wants "the grafters put out
of business."
"Gas and electric lights and all other
public utilities," writes A. L. Wisbey,
an accountant, who resides at 328
Whitehall street.
R. H. McDougall. of 25 Teters street,
aays: "It Is badly needed here."
A. C. Belcher, of 521) Peters build
Ing, writes that he "favors the plan."
C\ W. Seidell, an attorney, of H
West Ellis street, says: "Let mu
nicipal ownership of gas nnd electric
lights COME AT ONCE."
J. E. Loveless, a correspondent for
the 8. 8. White Dental Company, says
he believes In municipal ownership
"because It Is our only hope of re
lief."

Is tha N. A. R. D. a Trust?
It Is charged by the attorney general of
the I Tilted States that the members of this
association are members of a trust. Most
of us have always associated the word
"trust" with the possession of enormous
wealth. We have been accustomed to
think of the beneficiaries of trusts ns
spending most of their time In traveling In
private ears or automobiles, lavishing their
wealth on S10.000 bampiets and Monts Car
lo gambling diversions, their only labor be
ing the clipping of coupons off of bonds
or signing receipts for fat dividends.
It Is usually understood that while trust
magnates nre not addicted to lal*or of any
sort they do a great deal of scheming and
the main purpose of this scheming la to
smnsb the humble competitor who Is try
ing to make a living by the sweat of his
brow. Are there any such bloated bond
holders in the ranks of the N. A. R. D.l
Have you ever heard of one there?
This Is a fairly representative body. It
stands for the hopes, tho aspirations, the
facturers to establish n uniform price for
fixed quantities so that they can purchase
ns cheaply ns the great merchants, and thus
compete with them In the retail trade, they
have the right to do so, and that no court
of equity ought to Interfere nnd restrain
them from the exercise of the privilege."
That was the opinion of 11 state court. It
may be argued that a federal Judge might
have taken n contrary view. Fortunately,
however, we have the decision of u federal
court that goes even farther os to some of
the plans we are using than the New York
court of appeals. Judge Andrew M. J.

Objsct of the Sherman Law.
In construing any legislative enactment It
Is a well known rule of Interpretation to
make It square with the Intention of the
men who framed it. We must not only look
to the leter of the law, but the spirit that
animates It. Applying that rule to the Sher

evil practices did It nlm to aladlsh? lh«
answer Is that the purpose of the Sherman
law was to prevent mighty combinations
of capital from crushing the life out of
Individual competition: to cut loose the hun
dred-armed monster that luid seized ninny
of the Important Industries lu the United
States and so inaidpulatod them that every
iiinu. woman and child In the country was
compelled to pay It tribute; a monster that,
not content with* the rich spoils In Its
grasp, was reaching out Its tentacles to
draw more victims Into Its deadly em
brace nnd that threatened to convert a
nation of freemen Into a nation of slave*. ,
It was to destroy that system of spolia
tion that the Sherman act was framed. It
was to prevent the title Hah of conn
and Industry from I wing,* wallowed up by
the all dev.mrlng sharks of monopoly tlmt

Befora the passage of the commit
tee’s report by council Monday after
noon, allow'lhg twenty-nine wholesale
and retail liquor dealers to open their
places of business, several interesting
features came to light.
It was stated by several of the coun-
cflmen that discrimination was shown,
wittingly or unwittingly, by the com
mittee. This fell as something of a
bomb shell as the reason for revoking
the licenses was that no partiality
would be shown.
The other principal feature of Inter
est was the refusal of the council to
allow citizens to be heard before the
licenses were passed.
Another point which might prove of
Interest Is the fact that there will be
no council meeting Tuesday afternoon,
and. therefore, the saloons toot so for
tunate as to be In the first considered

doors until Thursday morning.

The licenses were considered at the
meeting of the special committee Mon
day morning, after having been select
ed and advertised since Saturday,
the council meeting they were passed
In a bunch.
Didn’t Hadr From Ministers.
Before the vote was called for, Coun
cilman Terrell moved that the rules
be suspended so as to allow citizens to
be heard from. Rev. Dr. John E. Whito
nnd several other members of the At
lanta Ministerial Association were In
the chamber uwaltlng the chance to be
heard from. Alderman Key objected,
stating that notice had been given
through the dally press to all who
wished to object to the granting of
the licenses and that the objection
should have been made to the commit
tee. This objection killed the motion.
Councilman Martin usked what was
the basis of the selections. He stated
that he knew of rases where one snloon
had been considered by the committee
when the next door a saloon of equal
repute had not been considered,
gave a specific example.
Chairman Oldknow, of the special
committee, stated thaj It was Impossi
ble to consider all the saloons at one
time nnd that the committee had at
tempted to select the saloons nearest
the center of the block In which they
were located.
The Discriminations.
It was stated by councllmen that
this plan had not been adhered to.
Councilman Martin was asked to pro
pose a better arrangement. He sug
gested that It would have been better
either to consider all the wholesale
dealers and allow them to open and then
take up the retail men and allow them
all to open at the same time, or to
consider the saloons by sections and
