We hope that Inspector Tout's Art- icle in The Signal last week was care- fully read and that the result will be an inspiration to greater effort in the improvement and beautifying of our town. Conditions here may not be as favorable as they were in Dayton for the development of such a movement as that which transformed the Ohio city, but a little extra care and thoughtfulness and effort on the part of individual citizens will accomplish a great deal in the aggregate. With - jut the last few years there has been a noticeable improvement in theAppear- ance of our streets,o the result [the removal of ugly fences and the better rare of boulevards as well as of the erec- tion of a considerable number of taste- fully -designed dwellings. it is a matter in which individual example counts for much. When a inert tidies up his own place, trims the boulevard in front, and makes the surroundings look spick and span, his stork dors not stop there ; what hi'.has done is sure to be noticed by others who will feel impelled to go and do likewise, and so the work of improvement will get on. The hearty co-operation of all citi- zens should at least he given in keeping the streets clean and tidy. There should be no necessity for an anti - spitting bylaw : anybody with decent instincts should know enough not to waairt tobacco juice on the sidewalks ; but unfortunately -there are a few who do not measure up to that standard. These should be taken numularily in hand by the police and dealt with in the terms of the bylaw. The throw- ing of waste paper, ashes and other rubbish on the streets, and the sweep- ing of refuse from the stores to the streets are practices that should only be mentioned to secure their discon- tinuance. Let us make Goderich in IWO more than ever the cleanest and prettiest town in Canada. PUBLIC: OWNERSHIP. The Seaforth Expositor refuses to see any merit in the policy of public ownership which is now Attracting so much attention. It wants to know where the line is to be drawn between affairs managed by private enterprise and those owned and controlled by the public. The Expositor surely does not need any reply to this query. it knows and recognizes the difference itetween private enterprises and those which, because of their monopolistic ature or because they cannot be •parated front the interests of the p pie as a whole, demand the inter- ne on of the public in their conduct and anagement. The Expositor ad- voca public, control of railways. and de • ands that the Government shall see hat the railway companies charge o y eertain rates to its cue- totnerR, N' t y does net The Expositor demand the the Government regu- ate the price bread, or of lulote, or of nails ? Ronly speaking, the ad- vocates of publ ownership would draw the line be ween private en- terprises and puhl enterprises just where The Expositor could draw the line between private business con- cerns and those which c II fin public oversight and control. Nothing revolutionary o violent, is involved in the adoption sof a public ownership policy. It is sin ly the application of logic and cunrmo sense to the problem of dealing with hose great utilities in which the people a whole have a vital concern, and whi h cannot be left to the exploitation t private capital without the creation of dangerous and injurious ntnnopilies. Private ownership and public regula- tion is not the logical method of deal- ing with these utilities ; because it is a sheer impossibility for ally govern- ment or any outside lardy to decide accurately just what cervices a private company should render for a given consideration. Private ownership and public regulation means a con- t' I jangling between the •private owners and the public as to the terms which should be imposed by the latter; it means lobbying and bribery. char- ter -mongering and stack manipulation and the practice of all the other arts Ire which the corporations seek, gen- ebt•ally with sucesea, to keep ahead of the public. With public ownership the ?kelpie as a whole would provide all the capital, shoulder all the respnD- MMlitiss, fix the service to their lik- ing, and take all the profits -or, per - THS; SIGNAL: l;ODEIt1CH ONTARIO haps, pay all the losses, for .they must he' preptr•el for the full consequences of their undertaking. And the aad- vocetes of private ownership and pub- lic regulation must recognize this fact : that ler their system it it impossible to secure fur the people the whole ulewure of the advantages which should conte to them from the operation of these public utilities, for the reason that as son its the services demanded of the private corporation Obould reach a point such as would yield only' a common margin of profit private capital would be withdrawn from inch lit•i ikitugs and the people would either have to assume them or give the pirate corporation a greater measure of freedom. The Toren:u street railway error is a very gasp illustration of the unaati,factory working of the policy of public regu- lation. The bas -gain made some yt•ats ago between the city of Tot•onto and the street railway company, by which the railway is owned and cesuducttd by a private curporatiou subject to certain powers- in the hands of the city, which also gets a percentage of the receipts, has often been spoken of as, a model fur the management of sudtcnterprises. But what is the re- sult :' 'i'fhe people are fate from satis• Red.. and it is altogether probable that when the company's frauchiae expires the railway will 1w taken over and operated by the city. The Expositor cannot he ignorant of the tact that the polity of public own- ership has reached a large illeasute of development in other countries. with- out any of the fearful results which its •lively intagintt' pictures. If Aus- tralia can manage its own railways, If Germany and Switzerland ,and other European countries can do the same, are we to acknowledge that Cana- dians ate incapable of d g so? In Great Britain the policy of public ownership is widely in vogue, and in Canada it is steadily gaining ground. Municipalities are taking over water supply companies, lighting c patties ; the Ontario Gov - and such concertos Gov- ernment has built at railway intoNor- thern Ontario, and the . Dominion Government is to own the eastern portion of the new transcontinental railway. These things which till The Expositor with drecul are to others only sen indication that the people ale asserting their rights and that the governments, municipal, Provincial and national, are shouldering their rightful responsibilities in a greater measure than before. We doubt if "past experience and observation' would help -The Exposi- tor very h in its contention as to the effect of a change of policy upon the independence of voters and the maintenance of self-government, Have we had in l'unnda any blacker scandals than those which have !wen connected with the granting of rail- way charters to private eutporationa? In what nes hits the independence of Parliament been more greatly un- dermined than by the lobbying of private corporations for special priv- ileges? Under what conditions can the honesty of any Government be more readily assailed than in the bargaining/. with private corpora- tions respecting the terms upon which they shall be allowed to• do business? By whoop is the independence of voters threatened anti the intimida- tion of toter, practised to a greater extent than by private corporations which bargain with the Government to intluenr•e the vote's of their em- ployeon in t•tetut-n for favors granted by the Government ? NVith a degree of inaccuracy which should not be expected of it, The Ex- positor quotes The Signal as raying that "the Ontario Government are cooing a meritorious thing in deriding to mine and maundactut•e the minerals of this Province." This is terry far from what The Sigeal said. After pointing out that "government is to some extent at matter of experiment," The Signal went on to say that "the Provincial (iove'rnntent's policy of mining the tallies limit on the public ownership plan will be. in the mean- time, ah interesting extol' 'lit stied can do nobody ally harts. The Government is to he commended for its Attempt to discover the lest rilearlr of conserving the interests of the whole people, at least as regents this particular piece of twining territory, and if the exlwri,ne,t proses to be auece'esfnl the policy will doubtless lie extended to other districts," The Signal is not a partisan of the present Prnvincial Government by any means, but when it is endeavor- ing, as it. perms to he in this instance, to serve the interests of the Province to the lest advantage The Signal is not going to draw upon its imagina- tion for objections to its policy.

McIntyre propo•ted to abolish the life membership, limit the tenure of office to the legal term of three parliaments. and wet an age limit of eighty yeah on the members. TI)e Premier was very cleat• -eat in his indication of his position on the question. •1A second chamfer seeins to me to be absolutely indispensable," he said, "under our system of govern- ment It is an absolutely needed safeguard for the smaller Provinces against a powsihle invasion of their tights by the -larger Provinces." In the ucat-Lel- of reform the Premier said,—"If we were to have a reform, 1 would not be adverse to tAlupting in one moped. the system of our neigh- bors, and have each. PR•ers•jnce teptt- dented by an equal nu Heber of members., whether that Province be large or small.

The scheme Sir Wilfrid hinted at was that the `hennture should be elected by Open ballot by the various Pt•os-irinlar legislatures, all Provinces hating an equal ttumller of Senatot•s.
