Advertising is business Insurance and It is better than fire insurance in one respect. At twelve o'clock one year from date your fire Insur ance policy expires and protection with that policy ceases right then and there. Not so with advertising. Tho protection is contlnous and it multiplies. It gathers in strength and the dollar spent two years from today is worth to you twice tho dol lar spent today if you keep up your advertising in the meantime. Each year as your advertising continues the same amount of money buys you more protection. Though It is Im possible to figure the cumulative ef fect of advertising, it is a woll estab fact that the longer you advertise, the more effective your advertising will be. Results.

W. R, Haines Music Co. New York, Sept. 20. Tho advance of munclplpal ownership and opera tion of public utilities in the United States and Canada has been duo In a great measure to emotional pre judice, and in estimating financial results. The ownership and operation of utilities are matters of pure econo mics. They are most emphatically not moral questions despite the ef forts to make it annear so. Who owns and operates public utilities Is trlval compared to how they are operated. In finding that, "The success of municipal operation of public utili ties depends upon the existence in the city of a high capacity for mu nicipal government," the investigat ing committee of tho National Civic Federation in its nearly unanimous report, stated a great truth. This "high capacity" for municipal gov ernment has yet to bo established in America. Tho fault is not in the public officials but in the people too much concerned in -personal affairs to give public officials proper atten tion, support and encouragement. Fairly successful municipal opera tion is posslLlo when all conditions are favorable and public interest in the subject is fresh, vigorous and wholesome. Such interest, however, soon wears out In actual practice. Public utilities represent u real problem. If other methods than municipal ownership can solve the problem more satisfactorily it is nothing less than absurd to contend for the theory as mere doctrine, since In its very bes.t guise it has ob vious weaknesses and disqualifica tions. It Is only recently that wo have discovered some of the latent powers of our forms of popular government. Ten years ago laws like the public utilities acts of New York and Wis consin would have been regarded impossible. Ture, countless efforts have been made before to regulate and control corporations of different kinds. Fail ures to get good results caused these attempts to become objects of deri sion. Under these conditions the theory of municipal ownership waxed fat and hearty. That tho municipal ownership law has done good as a punishment and a warning is not to be denied. Perhaps the greatest evil remaining lies in the widespread and assiduous ly nurtured Impression that the scheme Is potentially meritorious and susceptible to universal applica tion. There may be places a very few where It is a good thing to hold in reserve over corporations holding long-time frachises or "perpetual" rights, or where the admission of other corporations of tho same kind is not feasible. But tho American public should be rescued from the idea that municipal ownership Is an automatic remedy for various mu nicipal Is (as tho Civic Federalton's committee insists it is not,) and taught the truth. The truth is nothing more or less than that suc cessful municipal ownership under a form of popular government is ex tremely hard to attain. It must be the product of conditions not found In the average American city and rightly classed as abnormal. Wo are entering on an era, I be lieve, when tho former derision of our government efforts to regulate corporations will be forgotten by the successful and satisfactory regula tion of these corporations by proper ly constituted authorities. Backed by well-deflned and earnest senti ment there Is no ground to fear that any law or set of laws will not be rigidly enforced. In the past tho methods towards regulation have been crude; and inef fective because both officials and people recognized the crudeness. New methods are being perfcted and the support of the body politic assures thorough execution. A public service corporation under statutes such as exist in New York and Wisconsin is absolutely at the mercy of agents of tho law, equipped with adequate devices to secure obedience. The capital Invested in these corporations does not wish to be devoured in whole or in part. The only other alternative lies in treating the public fairly In the matter of prices and service and living up to the law. This plan certainly Is sounder and more apt to produce the results expected than the adop tion of municipal ownership with Its attendant confusion of direction, susceptibility to "practical" poHtics, usual financial losses and npt un usual inefficiency. All that munici pal ownership can hope to save a community In a monetary eenso.are the "profits" which are thought to bo making the .stockholders of ser vice corporations rich. - It' is a mat ter of common knowledge that these profits arc being nnd have been re-' &iiitors's!a!i uiiuuu 10 Bienaer margins, ana wltn many companies, wiped out alto-1 gether. mi ,..... .
