SOKE THULUMO MM ROM THE WATER DE-
PABTMEHT.
The Georgian is perfectly sincere la Its expressed Intention to aup-
l*ort the Isiaa of bonds tor the Improvement of tha wator works and oth
er necessary departments of oar pity government.
, When the time comes tt I* oar present Intention to definitely end
resolutely urge upon tbs people the necessity of providing for this Issue
of bonds to meet these necessary Improvements at the present time.
Rut The Georgian does not aurender lu right to look at this question
as one .of the future as well aa of the present, and to bare aome views of
tba fntare policy of tba city government toward the water work* system
gad other departments of oar maaieipsl life.
Wo do not care to go fully into these views at tha present moment, but
wa do deem it both timely and proper that the people should have all the
education upon thla question that It Is within our power to collate and to
present to them from time to time.
Kor today let ua consider some figures.
The annual receipts from the water department of the city government
by tba records are ft 1 *0,400 every year. The annual expense of operating
the water works system in all IU departments Is 1117,000 a year, and this
manna Ibat tha water works system pay* Into the treasury of the city ev
ery year the net sum of $163,400! c
First of all let us pause to comment upon tba magnificent vindica
tion which these figures make of the theory of mualfdpel ownership. In
many cities of the country where the water works are operated by pri
vate parties, we only know what the water as doled out by the corpora
tion eosu the city and the citizens. We do ant and will never know the
profit which the corporation puta Into Ha pocket from the operation ot
the water works, although we can derive an Idea from these figures from
our own system.
Now be It understood that this Is the only department of our govern
ment which la under the ownership of tha city, and therefore the only de
partment which lllastratea and vindicates the theory of municipal owner
ship-
We do not believe that euy cltlxen who read* the splendid balance will
fall to realise that the theory for which The Georgian contends la mag
nificently vindicated In the only department Is which the experiment baa
over been made by our people. i - .
We have not at band the exact figures to present to the |>eople, but
we are enabled to say without fear of successful contradiction that the
yearly profits from tba water department of the elty government since Its
passage into the hands of the municipality, If applied to Its affairs, has
mere than paid every dollar of tha bonded Indebtedness Incurred for Its
purchase from the beginning. We say more than this. Thla water de
partment whleh has cast the elty about $500,000, and which In practical
flguree has completely and abeelutely paid for itaalf, le now worth by the
standard of Its earning capacity about 17,000,000 to the elty of Atlantal
And thla. mark you. la tha shining object Iceatm which we present to
thinking people of the sanity and the reaaooablenei* of tbo theory of mu
nicipal ownership which Tha Oaorglan baa persistently advooated.
The people will not bo surprised to know that these figures are not
welcome to the corporations, personal and otherwise, which oppose munici
pal ownership In Atlanta. We may be sure that It la to their Interest to
mpprwa these figures whenever possible and when not possible tO flim-
press them, to so mix them with the reports and receipts ol other depart
ments as to leave the people In Ignorance of the value and of tbe wisdom
of municipal ownership aa illustrated In this (Ingle department which rep
resents It In uur municipal government.
Now ir any cltlten of Atlanta can read the history and study the
figures of tbe water department with all Its faulta and errors without be
coming a convert to the theory of municipal ownership, we will not be able
to understand the structure of the brain and Judgment of the citizen who
la not reached by the practical argument or the common aeuse which tt
maintains.
We are not prepared at this time to formulate the exact method In
which It can bo done, but In the habit which we have always had and
which we propose to maintain, ot conversing freely and naturally with the
people upon our affairs or common Interest, ft occurs to ua that we ought
to be able to devise at some time Id the future a plan by which the water
department shall take care of tbe affairs of the water department, be
fore Its splendid revenues are diverted to other departments of our city
government. Lot ua suppose, for Instance, that out. of this 1163.000 and
more, which (he. water forks smrn net- every yeer, that 6100.000 was aet
qpirt <iol*shofc£jlrd^ to tba baba alary improvements aqd additions In
ihdt'rfeilnrttngsl fiidvottfig what was left over to Improvements In other
needed 0*p*rtni*»lso(HHt elty governmon, . J
The remainder would be a generous contribution to the necessities of
our municipal government In this direction.
But the value to tbe citizens would be that In .this department In
which the city was supreme, we kept It perfect, by Its own earning ca
pacity. And we would so Illustrate the value of city sovereignty to the
Individual, and that tha surplus of Its earnings went to our other depart
mental necessities a» a gift from the revenue earning capacity of munic
ipal ownership In the water department.
This la tajr. It la twasonable. It la Just, Tha cltiiens who have
voted thla department undar their own control are entitled to this object
lesson of the wisdom ot their public policy, and we believe that It the In
terested hands ot thou who oppose thle wholesomo and effectlva theory
could be lifted from our affairs long enough to give currency to this policy,
the people of Atlanta, educated by actual facta and practical ohject les
sons. would take under their own control other departments and other
public ntllttlee and work out with them a result equally aa beneficent
and equally aa profitable at tbeee figures demonstrate the water works
to be.
This Is tbe line of safely. It Is the line of common sense. It le the
line of public economy and It Is the line of lower taxes for the people of
Atlanta In the years to come.
Will the people reflect upon these figures soil upon these facte and
units their civic wisdom and their civic patriotism In the ballots which
are to shape the policies and the prosperity of the future?
HEARS!'8 MOVE FOR EURE ELECTIONS.
I:
Aa usual when William Randolph Hearat goes out after a public evil,
he goes directly, forcefully and to the point, without hesitation and with
out any waste of word* or any apology to tha powers that be.
Now that It la all over, definite Democrats everywhere agree that
there was more direct force and point In the Hearat railway regulation
bill than In the Davey bill or tbe Each-Townaend bill, tbe measure finally
irasaed by tbe senate and the house.
And now when Mr. Uearst goes out to strike a direct blow at corrupt
practices In elections, he goee straight to the point and Is aa definite In
hie attack as he Is In his suggestion of a remedy.
Mr. Ilearet'e bill Just Introduced In congress to prevent corrupt prac
tices In federal elections, goes right to the heart of the subject and strikes
a direct blow at the corrupt use of money In general election*. Two new
and sweeping provisions cover the point.
One of theae provisions not only defines the giving or receiving of
Inducements affecting a vote an election primary or convention, to be
bribery and makes It a felony imnlshable by Imprisonment for not more
than five years, but It also Imposes a fine ot not more than $10,000 nor
lass than 63.000, one-half ot which, together with full Immunity, shall be
received by the Informant whose testimony leads to the conviction.
A similar provision Is made for false registration and fraudulent vot
ing.
Another radical, new and far-reaching provision Is one prohibiting
tbe use of money lu any way on election day except the iwymont of $3.00
each to the limited number of watches at the polls authorised by law.
The Hearat bill goee to tho root of tbe whole evil and kills tho prac-'
tlce of thinly veiled bribery under the practice of tbe alleged "worker
at the polls” niid (be pretended disbursements for hire of "teams to get
the voles.'*
Thla bill, If passed with tbe large rusards tor information together
with the full Immunity attached, will be calculated to make It extreme
ly risky for political boaaes and ward heelers lo deal with tbe smaller
election criminals.
It la to be hoped that the ' conservative thinkers ' of congress will not
emasculate and destroy this bill as they did the Davey Mil. Politics and
prejudice and personal venom took the life and vigor out of that vigorous
measure and substituted a make shift which only accomplishes lu small
measure tbe wishes and necessities of tbe people.
The root of all corruption In public life I* the use ot money In elec
tions. The evil la not merely the, use of corporate money or the uae ol
individual money, bat Um nae of money at all to influence the vote of the
citizens on election day.
In tbe last New York state election, something over a mUHon dol
lars wa* admitted by the Republic an party to have been used in the stats
campaign. Of coarse, no man who la scqnalnted with public affairs ba*
any Idea that tblr money was spent tor purely legitimate expenses. And,
the trend or the tIntel la to make our politics, like everything else, a
mare arena tor plutocrat* who uaq their dollar* to shape and control the
destinies of the country.
The country la once more Indebted to Mr. Hearat for a clear and dell-,
nlte measure whoa* Influence should not lie destroyed by tbe Jealousy
of rivals or the over timidity of ao-eallel conservative politicians.
ADAM10NTB TRIBUTE TO LESTER.
Among the notAble and well-deserved tribal** paid to ex-Cougrsaa-
ntan Rufua E. Lester, of Georgia, by bit colleagues at tbe recent memo
rial service la tbe house of repress natives, we are well pleased with
the discriminating and ua gushing eulogy of Representative Adamson, of’ tba
Fourth district. Among other things, Mr. Adamson said:
"As a legislator, bis court* and oooduct ware moil admirable.
II* was void of petty jealousy and envy of hla follow*. Ha was
exquisitely considerate of bit colleagues. He wa* cdlm. dignified,
and polite Aa Chesterfield, but persistent and Indefatigable In bis
Industry, always Intelligent and well ordered. He rarely failed
in what be undertook, for ha undertook nothing but what was
right and ntver failed to do what wa* necessary to accomplish It
when once undertakes. He was willing to do what he could to
advance and rise aa hla merit justified, but he realised that tberu
were others, and fell'willing rot-them to rise and advance also
lie would scorn a personal advantage secured at the expense of
a comrade's Interest, dignity, or feelings. Ho worked not alone for
himself and the district which elected him. He worked fqr all
hla colleagues and for the whole country. Being too great for self-
Ishness, he was too broad for sectionalism: too noble tor unfair
salf-stggrandliement. he wa* magnanimous enough to rite high
above partisanship In discharge of public duty. Nd man In con
grats was ever more beloved by hla colleagues, and Ua attributes
Inspired hla fellows with each confidence that die was able as a
member of the committee on rivers and harbors to secure long-
delayed attention to tbe riven and harbors of the Southeast, and
prove himself more useful to hi* part of the Union than any mem
ber who has corns to congress from that region lb fifty years "
