LOS ANGELES HERALD! FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10. 1905.
TRUE AND FALSE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
The recent election In New York, following evidence
Of some municipal ownership trend In other lar«e cities,
points to thn coming of a Political Ownership party In
general American politics.
It 1« well to understand at this early dtave, therefore,
Just what public ownership of utilities signifies. As an
abstract proposition It Is world wide and old as humanity.
When primitive, tribesmen first took measures for pro
tection or support they Introduced the pssentlnl principle
of municipal ownership. The first public school house
was a later example of like kind, ns nrn all present
familiar Improvements that nre owned by communltlen.
Here in I«o» Angeles, for instance, the city hall, the river
bridges, the parks and the streets are examples of such
ownership, precisely the game «is Is the municipal water
fystrm, present and prospective.
Uut municipal or public ownership ns a fnctor In
party politics is quite another matter. The fact that tho
principle of rublle ownership Is recognized ns sound,
and as adaptable within safe limitations, affords an op
portunity for designing politicians to utilize It ns a politi
cal' engine. ■ The. basic* argument adduced now by leaders
in tho municipal ownership movement is a reversal of
the mnxlm, "Falsus In uno falsus In omnibus." That
Is to say, they make tho plausible pica that since such
ownership hna proved to be an acknowledged success In
one thing, It necessarily would bo successful In many
things. Having proved to bp a success In tho water ser
vice of I,os Angeles, for example, why should we not
introduce it In our railway transit, lighting service, rent
able house building, department store operating, publla
amusements and so on, "world without end"?
It is the political utility rather thnn the public utility
in the matter of public ownership that we have to deal
with, and the two are practically ns wide apart as the
poles.
Public utility speaks for Itself, requiring no argu
ment. Again using Los Angeles as an example, the
advantage of public ownership of the water system
was obvious, and the city bought the old plant and la
preparing to expand it to vast proportions. New, It may
become equally obvious that it would be wise for the
city to undertake the operation of Its transit service or
of Its lighting service. If such action should prove to
be desirable, beyond question it will be taken, but it
will not be taken at the instigation of demagogues whose
sole object is to further the dirty ends of party politics.
And Just here we reach the distinction between public
ownership safeguarded by sound business judgment and
the use of public ownership as a means of foisting con
scienceless politicians into public offices.
Such means as TV. R. Hearst and his managers took
in New York to secure votes in the name of municipal
ownership were insulting to the intelligence of every
New Yorker. The idea that the election 'of Hearst to
the mayoralty would bring about universal public owner
ship and a social millennium was fitting only tn tho
Ignorance of the foreign class upon whom Hearst de
pended chiefly for his votes.
Sane public ownership, as the American people know
it and have accepted it, is as far from the brand of
municipal ownership with which Hearst duped New
Yorkers a3 heaven is from hades.
Chicago reports, as a result of its experiment with
voting machines, that "returns from one precinct were
received within thirty seconds of the closing of the
polls." -But that Is' suspiciously like the old style when
the returns were made in advance to fit the demand of
the political boss.
GOV. PARDEE AS A SIDE-STEPPER
Possibly the result of San Francisco's election may
Illuminate Governor Pardee's political path sufficiently
to warrant him in attending to belated public business.
For instance, the last legislature made provision for
the purchase- and operation of a farm in connection with
the agricultural feature of the state, university. Tho
governor was made the head of a commission to con
summate the purpose. There has been a great deal of
rivalry among northern communities over the selection
of land for the new feature, the result being that nothing
tangible has been done. It Is no secret with persons
cognizant of the governor's eagerness for another term
that the delay is caused by executive uncertainty as to
the point at which the placing of the state farm would
do the most good — for the governor's political aspirations.
That this Judgment is not based on partisan bias, note
this comment by the Sacramento Union, the Republican
organ at tho state capital: "Tho commission should
know that there are afloat many unpleasant rumors
tending to discredit the good faith of the members.
Tho governor ought to know this, and as chairman of
the commission he ought to take a course which would
bring the matter to a head." i
This is only one example of the governor's side-step*
plus, as' if he were treading on political needles, over
ulnce he squeezed Into the executive chair by a margin
of a few hundred votes, for which he was indebted to tho
covert "knifing" of Franklin K. Lano by the San Kran
clsco Examiner.
Missouri takes the lead in a movement, to ■force tho
rascals out of the three big llfo insurance compantes.
The insurance superintendent in that state has sus
pfindert authority of the New York Llfo company to do
business In Missouri. Other states should follow the
lead and purify tho whole llfo insurance business.
EXAMPLES OF MISMANAGEMENT
As a consequence of the lonp delay In starting con-
btructlnn of tho new sewer system much damaso is
< reported! from tho[flrst rain of tho season.; It was only
a modcrato rain, distributed oveVtwo or three days, not
heavy at any tlmo and showing a total precipitation of
only about an Inch. In reading the reports of tho damago
wrought by it, however, the thought occurs at once that
a formidable disaster may be expected If Los Angeles
happens to he visited soon by such a downpour of rain
as occasionally is seen here.
Tho damage already done by the rain, and the much
greater damage, now feared, result directly from tho loss
ot many weeks of precious time In the early part of tho
year In wrangles over brick contracts in connection with
the sewer work. No individual, firm or corporation would
have tolerated such tampering with vital Interests as
was witnessed In that Instance. If the work had been
prosecuted on business principles under stringent con
tracts enforced to the letter the sewer system would be
serviceable now and citizens would not be dreading at
many points such a downpour as we may get at any time.
Los Angeles Is fated to endure again the Venetian
spectacle in its streets on slight pluvial provocation, but
the experience should be a warning hereafter to do
official business on business principles.
The passing of Mormon dominance In Salt Lake poll
tics is a surprising event. The anti-Mormon element,
discarding both the old political parties and assuming
the name of American parly, uwept the city by substan
tial majorities for Its candidates. With the citadel of
Mormon 'political power destroyed in Salt Lake, the de
struction of the whole institution will follow.
