To the Editor of the Sentinol: 111 a recent issue of your contempo rary there appears an article written \ by William Jennings Bryan on the 1 subject of municipal ownership of 1 public utilities. The article is re plete with quotations from the alleged ' utteriuß.s of Mr. Carter Harrison, who ' has just been nominated for the * fourth time for mayor of the city of 1 Chicago. While Mr. Harrison poses 1 in the light of a disinterested advo cate of muuicipapl ownership, lam * of the opinion that facts will show (Record facts, Mr. Editor) that his [ advocacy is nothing more than a mat- 1 ter of dollars and cents. Mr. Harri- 1 son’s administration has been notably ' one of the most corrupt iu history. His alleged attempts to clean the city of Chicago of the gambling element j have amounted to nothing better than so much blackmail. Gambling is still * carried on openly, because the people want it and are willing to paj for the ' privilege. To show how silly and 1 futile are the attempts of the Muni- * cipal Leaguers of Grand Junction to place Mr. Carter Harrison on record ' as an authority on municipal owner ship. I will quote from some of the 1 leading Chicago papers on the subject. The Tribune says: “So far as things have gone on, the city has paid two prices for its elec- 1 trie lights. The work of extension ‘ has been far from satisfactory. The * aim and intent are to mako the city’s government a paternal one, previdiug 1 light, heat, power, transportation, f electrical and telephonic communica tion. etc., thereby constituting a vast machine with powers far greater than ever wielded by Tammany, and ( giving opportunity for corruption on i the biggest conceivable scale.’’ The Chicago Evening Journal says: “So long as the advocates of muni cipal government cannot keep the streets in proper condition, it is not worth while for them to extend the . field of their inefficient work.’’ ( The New Wolrd of Chicago says: < “There is a great deal of force in ( the argument which some of the dai ly papers have advanced against the municipal ownership of street rail ways. gas plants, etc., in this country. 1 It is argued that if the city councils i in this and other cities are so corrupt < that they cannot be trusted to deal I Resurrected! ] THE GEO.

Tea and Coffee business H in this city I am prepared to offer my friends and patrons a com- B i plete line of fresh goods of a quality and price to please the 3 1 most fastidious.

J - F - BYERS, Manager. - t We guarantee everything we sell. □ houcstly with private corporations in regard to these matters, it is hardlv to be expected that they could deal houestlv with the public, if they had the management of such enterprises in thier own hands. This really goes to tiie root of the whole matter.’’ Now. Mr. Editor, the adoveate* of municipal ownership claim that this « ity should build aud operate its own electric light Dlaut. and that the city council will mod surely manage it properly I would like to know why. Will the vastness of the property so stagger the moss-covered grafters and hangers-on who have been living off the city for years that their consciences will suddenly bloom into sensitive ness? Or will it only give them a bigger quarry and an enlarged field for their peculiar enterprises? To conclude: Superintendent Bar rett ot the municipal light plant of Chicago reports that the street lamps in that city cost $9(5.04 per annum. When his accounts were audited it was found that lie had neglected to include the following items in the ac tual cost of each lamp. Water. $1.41: interest, $21.70, insurance $1.55. depreciation, $37.51. thus bringing the total cost of each lamp to $103.48 per year. It is also a well known fact that the administration of Mr. Harri son has fattened on municipal owner ship for .years back, so it is no wonder that he champions tho cause. • I will iu later issues pursue this sub ject further as the article in question from the peu of Mr. Brvau is too vol uminous to be disposed of iu a single column.
