The Secretary of War Considers
the Trusts.
Regulation Is Necessary, but There l
Danger That In the Current Zeal For
Reform the Demagogues and the So
cialists May Get the Upper Hand and
Carry Legislation Too Far Faith In
the American People.
In a recent Issue the Citizens' Bul
letin of Cincinnati gives n series of ex
tracts from the most recent addresses
of Secretary Tnft. After taking up in
some detail the evils that have result
ed from the rapid development of cor
porations during the past few yea:s
Mr. Taft says:
"Without defending, mitigating or in
any way Justifying the evils 1 bavo
described, It certainly can be said that
they were the outgrowth of the enor
mous expansion of business and of
oapltal Involved In the spreading busi
ness of the country and that, while
they are to be deplored and to bo
stamped out, It would be the utmost
folly to Initiate and carry through
legislation which instead of remedying
the evil shall kill the enterprise and
Investments which have gone on apace
to make this nation the great center of
industry and production of the world.
And the dnuger now is that in the zeal
for reform demagogues, Socialists and
enemies of society may be given an
opportunity to carry on legislation to
such an extreme as permanently to
hamper the business growth of th
country.
'No injustice reacts so' quickly as
Injustice to capital; for capital can pro
tect itself, can stand a loss and with
draw and leave the community from
which it flees In a condition of help
lessness that it will take years to over
come. While this is the danger from
the awakened public conscience on the
subject of business integrity, let us
not fall to rejoice in the enormous ben-'
eflt to the country which is involved in
the existence of this public conscience,,
for it was quickened into expression
at a time when the greatest prosperity
prevailed throughout the country,
when lavished wealth made comfort
for more people than ever before and
when that luxury and hunt for pleas
nre which led the Roman empire and
other dynasties of old to destruction
it was prophesied would bring about
the same fate for this republic. But
it has not done so, nnd In the face
of comfort, luxury and pleasure there
has arisen this protest from the many
enjoying nil the prosperity possible
against the abuses and violations of
ths trust, and there has arisen a cry
for a higher business morality and a
more sacred care and scruple in the
conduct of agents and trustees.
The Publio's Demands.
"It is becoming more and more cer
tain that the public will insist on
greater publicity in the management
of these great financial trusts, and a
closer scrutiny into the methods by
which the great combinations shall
continue and maintain their business,
and a greater and greater care and re
gard for the public with which the
railroad and other transportation com
panies Shall dlschurge the duties
which, in accepting valuable fran
chises, they nssume to discharge to
ward the communities in which they
carry on their business.
"The various provisions of law, the
trlbunnls nnd executive machinery by
which these results are to be accom
plished, will be the duty of the coming
generation to work out and develop.
Tho irresponsibility of the wlelder of
millions of capital which has hereto
fore accompanied bin exercise of pow
er in tho business communities, it is
now settled, must have an end, and
the limitation which shall effectually
end it will be dictated by experience
and the statesmanlike acumen of the
coming generation.
"Such changes cannot be effected in
a short time. Such changes cannot be
brought about by a mere denuncia
tion and indiscriminate condemnation,
whether delivered from a stump or
contained in the provisions of law.
They must and will bo fashioned ulti
mately by tho hands of one or many
who shall realize the necessity for
maintaining the Institutions of private
property and the freedom of individ
ual initiative, on the one hand, and of
restraining the well recognized abuses
nnd illegalities of the exercise of the
power of concentrated wealth to
achlovo monopoly by duress.
"Such regulation is possible, and it
needs only experience and earnest ef
fort, honest and courageous and expe
ditious courts, intelligent and fearless
Juries, to enforce the regulations which
shall teach thoso who would otherwise
offend and misuse the power of con
centrated wealth that It is not only
moral and conducive to their happi
ness, but also profitable to observe the
regulations that tho quickened con
science of the people has Insisted upon
introducing inio the statute book."
A Sensible Ohio Council.
In contrast to the city councils that
are going In search of trouble by ac
quiring municipal plants, the action of
the village council of Crldersvllle, 0.,
Is Interesting. So far from seeking
municipal ownership, they refused to
have it thrust upon them, for when the
village was forced to foreclose the
mortgage it held on tho local lighting
plant it promptly turned around and
loltl the plant to private parties.
Municipal Monopoly Overheating.
Municipal monopoly is mere auto
cratic and overbearing than any prt
vato corporation would dari to be.

Cities Get Rid of Their Lighting Plant
at a Loss to Save Themselves From
Greater Loss.
Tho mayor of English, Ind., writes
that the municipal electric light plant
was sold for 35 per cent of its cost
"because of the financial loss to the
city." As it had been oporated only
five years, thla makes the depreciation
13 per cent a year.
The municipal light and water plants
of England, Ark., have been leased to
0. W. Morris for six years. The rea
son assigned for this action is "gross
mismanagement."
Although the qualified voters of Val
ley City, N. D., at an election called for
tlje purpose, voted by a majority of
nearly three to ouo to sell the electrlo
light plant, the city council by a voti
of four to three has decided not to sell,
but iustead to spend $12,0)QeOn new
machinery. Apparently the plant is
too valuablo a political asset to be sur
rendered at the mere call of the tax
payers, twice repeated.
The president of the village of Mil
ford Center, 0., writes that the mu
nicipal electric light and water plants
were sold for $5,335. The latest re
port available gives the amount of
bonds outstanding as $12,000.
Prior to its lease ten months ago the
electric light plant -of Linton, Ind., Was
badly run down and was costing the
city from $200 to $300 a month owing
to incompetent management. It is al
ready on a paying basis, and the fine
service furnished by it is in marked
contrast to what was supplied when it
was operated by the city.
The municipal electric light plant of
Gravesend, N. Y, constructed at a cost
of approximately $120,000, was never
put into operation and was sold lot
$31,100 after the annexation of Graves-
end to Brooklyn.
The electric light plant bought by the
city council of Carrollton, Ga., was op
erated only a few months on account
of the protests of the citizens and was
turned over to tho former owners.
In 1901 the city of Dunkirk, Ind.,
purchased the electric light plant, as
suming the bonded indebtedness of
$23,500. As it was not paying its way
the city effected a compromise with
the bondholders, to whom the plant
was turned over, the city making a
cash payment of $2,300. The mayor
writes that the sale was due to "politi
cal changes in control."
A municipal electric light plant was
Installed by Ellwood City, Pa., in 1901
at a cost of $15,000. By 1904 it had be
come inadequate to carry its load, so
the generating plant was shut down
and has stood idle ever since, power
being supplied by a private company.
An electrical engineer who devoted
some weeks to rehabilitating it writes
that the municipal electric light plant
of Montpelier, Ind., was a complete
failure and that it was turned over to
the present owners for a dollar on
condition that they would assume the
outstanding bonds ($38,000). The city
got nothing for the funds contributed
by the citizens to make repairs. An
other authority states that for three
months before the sale there had been
no street lights available and for part
of that period no Incandescent lights.
A CHEAP LESSON.
New York Abandons Its Experiment In
Municipal Lighting.
About two years ngo the city of
New York installed af a cost of $122,
848 a combined garbage Incinerator
and electric light plant, the current
developed being used to light the Wil
liamsburg bridge. The intention was
to effect a saving over the cost of
lighting the bridge by contract, and
after the plant had been in operation
six months Commissioner Woodbury
estimated that the saving amounted to
about 40 per cent
It was therefore somewhat of a sur
prise to those who wero not aware of
the real facts to learn that the lighting
plant had been shut down. The engi
neers In charge frankly admit that the
plant has been run at a loss, and, al
though they are chary about giving
figures, the best information obtaina
ble Is to tho effect that the loss amount
ed to about $25,000 a year as compared
with the cost by contract In other
words, It cost the city with free fuel
about twice as much to light the
bridge as a private company charges,
although the company has to buy its
fuel.
It is fortunate for New York that it
made Its electric lighting experiment
on a small scale, for if It had under
taken to do all Its public lighting and
had sustained a proportionate loss the
effect on the tax rate (and Indirectly
on rents) would have been such as to
make the M. O. advocates move to some
locality where their theory had not be
come a condition. As it Is the lesson
will be cheap at the price if it has
been really learned.
Government Telegraph Losses.
The detailed financial statement for
the postofflce telegraphs, Issued on
Tuesday, shows that for the third
year In succession the loss sustained
by the nation on the service has
amounted to more than a million
pounds.
The receipts for the year were the
largest ever known, reaching a total of
f4,151,370.
A review covering thirty-seven years
is included in the return, nnd shows
that the total loss on the service during
that period has amounted to 14,271,
827. About eight millions of this loss Is
accounted f.or by capital expenditure,
but the remaining six and a half mil
lions Js dead loss on the working of
the service. Loudon Telegraph.

affected that death seemed Imminent
when I commenced takingNew Dis
