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.”

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

lem suddenly thrust by Mr. Bryan Into

Opinion Differs Among Leaden.

patch to The Georgian Friday Indicates
that a wide divergence of opinion ex
tats within the Democratic party on
the question of railroad ownership.

others, shake their heads ominously at

What significance attaches to Tom

TWENTY-THREE INNINQ8
BREAKS WORLD'S RECORD
Boston, Sept. 1.—Boston and Phils,
delphla have smashed the world's rec
ord for a long drawn out game. 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.
