At a Large Expense, to Increase Our Circulation and Also to Give Our Subscribers and Friends the Best of Everything Obtainable We Have Made Arrangements to Offer Them The Most Wonderful Clubbing Offers Ever Made, No Matter What Their Price May Have Been. Judging ftcm the reports that reach os from rations parts of the country u to the: conation ot clrlo lighting com panies end'wilted water plants, we ■ball soon be relloved of the stigma placed upon ns by the British visitor to this country who declared that we had no Impressive ruins to attract the traveler. Would it not be a good plan tor some munificent millionaire to boy op a tew ot those, transfer them to the banks ot the Hudson and thus pot that beautiful waterway Into the run ning In the matter of legendary Inter est with the Rhinal A few moss and Ivy covered ruins of this kind would add much to the scenic beauty of the picturesque river and doubtless inspire our literati with ghastly legendary lore that will make those old stories of the Rhine look like a mark and a half. Here Indeed Is a chance for Mr. An drew Carnegie to do something to beau tify his adopted native land and to fill the shelves of his many libraries as well with good reading at one fell swoop. •t it The Increase of the public debt ot Birmingham, England, from $4,000,000 In the early seventlea of the last cen- turjs to $75,000,000, according to the last available figures, shows how com pletely municipal ownership wipes out a debt of that kind. Alongside of $75,- 000,000, a paltry sum of $4,000,000 Is not only wiped'out but actually an nihilated. « K The police of Chicago were assessed In the last elections to pay the ex penses of the municipal ownership campaign. This Is another point lu favor of a comprehensive system of public ownership. After awhllo, with the motormen, conductors, watermen, gasman, ditch diggers, linemen, elec tricians, and so on, to ussess for sim ilar purposes, the public will doubt less enjoy free elections. . One might almost hope that such a fund ns this would wax so great that after elections are over there would bo n balance left to declare a municipal dividend with. Tbe byproducts of the municipal own ership Idea grow dally more and more interesting, not to say alluring. •t It It Is nonsense to ssy that municipal ownership breeds socialism. On the contrary. It la driving people back to Individual Ism. In some European cities people who mod to patronise the trolleys now walk became they wish to get where they are going along tinea of least official resistance. And In Talley City, If.

Can’t Do It by Statute, Any corporation la entitled to a fair return on all Its legitimate Invest ments over and above all expenses when these are carefully and econom ically administered. There are some corporations which are undoubtedly overcharging the public, but there an more whose stock has never paid any dividends whatever, and only an un fortunate aggravation of tbo present ■trained relatione existing between the people and the public service corpora tions can result from tbe expectation of tha* former that they can through legislative action obtain a universal redaction In the charges made by such corporations.—Municipal Journal and Engineer. A Danger to Be Avoided. If a city U not well governed, munic ipal ownership It the most dangerous thing imaginable and should bo car®- foil/ avoided. There Is always the danger that the public utilities tbe city is supposed to own will become nothing more or leaa than tbe private property of tbe people at the head ot the government, who will work to their own advantage and the enhancement of their private wealth.—William T. Only as a Last Resort. Any city which Is getting fair treat tnent from a privately owned plant should eschew municipal ownership. Except under unusually favosabls con- dltions—conditions that promise t« make the proposed plant a positive money earner—municipal ownership should be only a last resort—Marquette (Mich.) Journal.
