The Seatt The Seattle Republican SEATTLE, WASH., FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1913 MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN QUESTION MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN QUESTION "There is no question about it there is more waste in municipal ownership than in privately controlled corporations. We have a civil service board and yet there is the same lack of ability of the heads of departments to get work out of employees as in the years before the civil service board was created. I am not making any attacks upon civil service, but I must say that it has not raised the standard of efficiency." This statement was made by Mayor Jost of Kansas City, Mo., in an address before the Brotherhood Club of the Independence Boulevard Christian church, according to the Kansas City Journal, and it is a frank expression of what most citizens who have had opportunities to observe know to be the truth. In these times of political unrest and agitation it is considered somewhat of a sacrilege to express honest criticism of anything that bears the name of "reform," but Mayor Jost has braved the menacing power of the faddists and has told the simple truth. The theoretically the civil service system is an ideal form of conducting municipal affairs, and municipal ownership is an ideal way of dealing with public utility corporations. But in practice neither has worked satisfactorily. The testimony of the city attorney of Kansas City, Kas., that the municipally owned electric light plant of that city is a magnificent success is not to be considered. That plant has been working only about a week and there is no evidence that a high degree of efficiency or the present low schedule of prices can be maintained. The whole scheme was worked nicely out on paper, but it has not been put to the practical test. Al municipally owned utilities work out on paper, but few if any stand the test of time and experience. There is one insuperable reason why municipal ownership fails, and that is politics. Undoubtedly a city could run a water works plant, or a gas plant, or a street railway system, quite as successfully as a private corporation if it were possible to bring to the management the same expert knowledge, the same strict and definite supervision and the same individual interest as exists under private or corporate control. But as long as politics is the dominant factor in municipal affairs, so long will it be impossible to run municipal enterprises as efficiently and as economically as corporation concerns are run. The average employee of a city will not give satisfactory service unless he is made absolutely accountable to a superior officer who has the unquestioned power to discharge him without right of appeal. No superintendent can get good service out Dr. Booker T. Washington, who is enjoying his first visit to the Northwest, is being received with open arms in every place he appears, thus demonstrating that, the leading citizens of this section of the United States thoroughly appreciate the one higher up, and that too, without taking into consideration either his color or previous condition of the higher up. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that Booker T. Washington is the world's educator. --- SINGLE GOPIES 10 GENTS Is published every Friday by Cayton Publishing Company.

The typos last week made us say, "Henry Clay Wilson" instead of Henry Lane Wilson, but typos, unless you watch them, are liable to make you say most any old thing. In refusing to see office seekers President Wilson will save to the people a whole lot of valuable time, and likewise relieve himself of much worry. If war is declared between the United States and Mexico the Ninth cavalry can boast of having the first taste of the tempting morsel. Gov. Lister has had the time of his life and while he can pat himself on the back and say, "I won," yet few governors of this republic would like to win under similar circumstances. The legislature having failed to pass any "dry" legislation it is currently reported that, the petition fiend is going to get busy right away soon. Mr. Tariff is planning to make a lengthy visit to Washington City in the very near future and if he keeps in the same frame of mind that he now is he is going to turn things topsy turvy. Even the members of the legislature now know Mrs. Lister is a hard kicker when she thinks she is being imposed upon. It is reported that the representative from Douglas county in the legislature was voted by the ladies "a dear little darling." "Turkey wants peace," comes the report. There is nothing unusual in this as she does not seem to have the kind of men in her army that would inspire her to want war. Atlanta, Georgia, is a great place for the majesty of the law to take its course and as a result there were more murders committed in that city last year than in all of England. There may be no evil influences hovering about the number "thirteen," but Gov. Lister will hardly sk another legislative session of the thirteenth legislature in 1913. Perhaps the Bull Moosers of Seattle are thankful to the Progressive members of the late legislature for what they did not do, which accounts for them banqueting them. If Bryan ever wants to run for Congress again he will have the civil's own time if he remains in Seattle or Kitsap county. Bryan will not be able to do anything while in Congress that will make Seattle look with favor upon his candidacy. "Single tax helps the rich and hurts the poor," is posted about the city of Seattle just now. The statement may be true, bue we are surprised to find that the rich is so deeply interested in the future welfare of the poor. The poor seem to be of the opinion that it is well to keep an eye out for the wolf in sheep's clothing. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN D. KO VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 50 of the men under him when these men owe their positions to political favoritism and know that they can defy their superiors as long as they stand well with the political powers. The right kind of civil service has been accepted as the best system of employment for cities. But Kansas City never has had the right kind and will not have until the heads of departments are empowered to discharge loafing and incompetent employees. The whole fabric of municipal government is honeycombed with insubordination and contempt for authority. The employee who has passed a civil service examination and got a snug berth is apt to believe that he has a life tenure of his job whether he gives it his best efforts and most careful attention or not. No head of a department can get the best work out of his men unless he is vested with authority to enforce his orders.—Public Utilities. MINNESOTA PLAN FOR REGULATION. A. O. Eberhart, re-elected last November as governor of Minnesota, is among the public officials who believe that enlightened public sentiment is tending towards reasonable regulation of public utilities rather than public ownership and that state regulation is the more wise and practicable plan from the standpoint of the public. In his inaugural message, delivered recently, Governor Eberhart declared positively in favor of regulation by state-wide commission as preferable to either public ownership or local control by municipalities. The fact that Mr. Eberhart already has served one term in the office of governor of his state gives added force to his argument and added importance to his views on this subject. "In my opinion, public utilities must be either owned or controlled by the people," said Mr. Eberhart in his inaugural address. "Where control can be vested in a fair, impartial and oempetent authority, removed as far as possible from political influence, it is far superior to ownership. It has been found by experience that it is very difficult to keep municipality owned plants out of politics. As a general principle it is true that the state or the city should not go into any business which can be transacted as well by individuals. In the case of public utilities, the selfish greed of human nature too often takes advantage of the people's dependence to demand excessive rates or grant unfair discrimination as between localities and individuals. Even municipally owned public utilities are realizing now the necessity of state-wide regulation, and a strong demand for such regulation oemes from producers and consumers alike throughout the state. "Owing to local conditions and influences, it is impossible for local commissions to be as successful in their regulation of these utilities as a state-wide commission. The regulating authority and the regulated are too closely related and dependent upon local conditions and it is almost impossible to be impartial and fair." Minnesota is one of the numerous states in which new laws for regulation of public utilities are under consideration and its legislature is in session at the present time. A public utilities bill has been introduced by Senator Murray of eRnville county, but it is expected that it will be amended in several important particulars before it can become a law. The bill provides for a state public utilities commission of three members to be appointed by the governor at salaries of $5,000 each, but present sentiment appears to favor the idea of placing all of the public utilities under supervision of the state railroad commission whose jurisdiction now includes only steam railroads. This is the plan that was adopted in Wisconsin. The Minnesota law as now drawn would include under state regulation all steam railroads, electric and other traction railways of all classes, canals, express service, pipe-lines, gas, electric lighting, power, heat, water, oil, sewer, telephone, telegraph, and all other utilities in public ues. The bill is framed with the idea that the commission shall act as a court of appeal to which complaints in regard to the rates or service of public utilities may be taken for adjudication but shall not have power to direct the operation of any individual company. It is provided that the state supreme court shall have full power to review all acts of the commission.—Public Utilities. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN J.

Calderhead, of Waterville, has been renewing old acquaintances in Seattle for the past week, and incidentally getting a few real live endorsements for the position he is seeking in the U. S. Land Office at Waterville. He says he is almost certain of getting the place, and his hundreds of Seattle friends are not a bit sorry. Frank P. Goss won a great victory in the legislature when he succeeded in having passed the anti-hanging bill. The murderers of the state owe him a debt of gratitude and each and every one of them should send him a ten-year subscription price for his paper. There is no denying that Frank did good work in the legislature at the session just closed. William Hickman Moore feels almost certain of being the next federal judge in Seattle, which, it is hoped, will hold him for a while, and he will not butting in to every political job that comes along. Richard A. Hutchinson, one of the state senators from Spokane, has always been known at a fighter from way back, and in the closing hours of the thirteenth session of the Washington legislature, he demonstrated to the house leaders, who took a fiendish delight in killing his bills, that he had not lost any of his fighting qualifications. He fought the house bills to a finish and succeeded in killing a hundred or more of them. Dick Hutchinson is a buzz saw that you must not monkey with any old time. Eugene A. Childe, representative from King county, lost his Mutual Savings Bank bill in spite of the hot fight he put up to pull it through. In the dying hours of the legislature he broke from the regulars and went to the insurgents, but it was too late to save the day for his bill. In speaking about the change of government at Washington City the Labor World of Bellingham says, "Woodrow Wilson is president of the United States. The lame servile predecessor has given way to the strong virile man, who speaks for the people." What is the use of kicking a dead man? "Has any one heard of from one Theodore Roosevelt lately? It is about time for the great bull mooser to break out with a tirade against something or somebody," says the Colfax Commoner, one of the few Democratic papers of Washington. In the campaign, when Roosevelt was defeating the Republican party, this same paper compared Theodore Roosevelt to Jesus Christ, and all because Roosevelt's presidential running assured Democratic success. What is that about, Mr. Consistency? According to the Big Bend Empire many of the dairy men are feeding potatoes to milch cows which should not be done, so says the Empire, and all because butter made from potato feed soon gets old and rancid. If that be true, then the most of the "fresh butter" that we get must be made from cows that were fed on potatoes as it is always rancid though labeled fresh. The people of the State of Washington must always suffer from the location of its Capitol in a remote Micholson, December No. 81238. Sum- January 10 "I'M WEARY," SAYS CHARLEY GANT. I'm weary—not of toil and not.of life, But of the turmoil and the endless strife, The greed for gold and ever love of pelf Which tempts the man to slay his nobler self. I'm weary—not from blessed toil of hands, But of the fettered chains, the golden bands— The jeweled sins, more worshipped than a God, The bruises made by Shylock's golden rod. I'm weary—not of love, that never tires; I love the glow of true love's quenchless fires; But as I see the waste of brawn and brain, The million wrecks whose ruins speak of gain; The money-mad behind the sable pall— See—in the dust of earth is labor trod, And all for greed of gold—I'm weary, God. I'm weary, God, of false which slays the true; Weary, God, of Mammon's fattened few Who bind their chains upon our children's hands And gather wealth from off our toil and lands. I love to toil, I love to love, I love to live; I want to own but what my toil can give; I want no god of gold—just let me be A man who loves sweet, dear humanity. WHAT IS IT TO YOU? To the preacher life's a sermon, To the joker it's a jest; To the miser life is money, To the loafer life's a rest; To the lawyer life's a trial, To the poet life's a song; To the doctor life's a patient, That needs treatment right along. To the soldier life's a battle, To the teacher life's a school; Life a good thing to the grafter, It's a failure to the fool. To the man upon the engine Life's a long and heavy grade; It's a gamble to the gambler, To the merchant life is trade. Life's a picture to the artist, To the rascal life's a fraud; Life perhaps is but a burden To the man beneath the hod. Life is lovely to the lover, To the player life's a play; Life may be a load of trouble To the man upon the dray. Life is but a long vacation To the man who loves his work; Life's an everlasting effort To shun duty, to the shirk. To the earnest Christian worker Life's a story ever new; Life is what we try to make it— Brother, what is life to you?—Exe THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

For the wek commencing Monday, March 17, Bailey and Mitchell will present, at the Seattle Theatre, "The City," a dramatic sensation, by Clyde Fitch. Were it not for the familiar touch in technique, detail and pointed bits of ocmedy, it would be difficult to believe that Claude Fitch was responsible for this play. Fitch, who was looked upon as a master of drawing room repartee and light-minded comedies, died a few years ago in Europe, but he be bequeathed to the American stage this play. PERSONAL. COUNTRY PRESS. part of the state inhabited by mud-hens and sand-pipes. No one will go there except from necessity, and when the legislature meets, then, along with it, there is precipitated into the community a motley crowd of selfish agitators with axes to grind, spite and revenges to wreak upon honorable people; small bore politicians and 2x4 statesmen and all the hungry horde of special pleaders. With such conditions which always must exist, the executive and legislative departments work under great disadvantages. If the present governor was out in the open where he could have the benefit of the judgment of the leaders and statesmen of his party, Turner, Patterson, Drumheller, etc., and freed from the peanut politics that infects the capitol, mistakes would be less likely to be made.—Davenport Tribune. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. The Business Man. The following health rules for business men were compiled by three of the leading physicians of London: Moderate exercise. Good and free air. Suitable diet. Pure water. Plenty of sunshine. One hour's rest a day. One day's rest a week. One week end once a month. One good holiday once a year. Brain workers should have plenty of sleep. Devote one hour to each meal Avoid all business talk at mealtime. Have no fads in food. Be moderate in diet. Best Hours for Sleep. Experiments made recently at Columbia university have shown conclusively that sleep is more profound during the fore part of the night, the best sleep being obtained between 2 and 3 o'clock. The hours before 2 are better than those after 3. An adult can obtain the best results by retiring not later than 10 and rising at 5, cultivating the habit of profound sleep by concentrating the thought on the suggestion that one must sleep soundly and obtain all the needed rest beofre 5 o'clock and that one will rise thoroughly rested.
