SUGGESTS ONE REMEDY

Collective Ownership of Public Utilities Is Needed.

O. F. BranBtetter, of Oklahoma, who Is visiting Rev. H. L. Haywood, delivered an address on Socialism last evening. In explaining his definition of socialism Mr. Branstetter said: "Socialism is the collective ownership, democratic management and co-operative use of the means of productiou which are used for exploitation, the opieration of such industries for use and not for profit, securing to each worker the full social value of his product." Both Demand Advantage. Mr. Branstetter said further: "Political corruption and graft are due to the private ownership of public utilities, for the interests of the private owners are always contrary to the public interests. For instance, in the case of a street car company, the public interests demand cleaner cars, better service, and lower rates, but this, In being an expense and reducing the profits of the company, would be contrary to the private interests. "In the same way, when a franchise Is to be secured, the public interests demand that the city receive the full value of the franchise, while the private ownership interests demand as cheap' a franchise to them as possible, and set not because they are inherently bad or have a desire to corrupt, but simply regarding it as a business proposition, they seek the cheapest way. We really offer enticing privileges to them. As an instance, the St. Louis street car company paid the council $260,000 for a desirable franchise, the bribe was discovered, members of the council were sent to the penitentiary, but the street car company was permitted to retain its franchise and is operating under it at the present time. Remedy Collective Ownership.

The only remedy for this great evil Is the collective ownership of public utilities. If this system were adopted, there would be no interests contrary to public interests, the workers would be encouraged to do their best, for the profit which was formerly swallowed up by the private owners, would be used to better the conditions of the common people. In the present state of affairs, the laborer receives about two-fifths of the value of his product, the rest being the share- ef the owner. This immense surplus would come to the workers, encouraging their most efficient service."
