Monlelpal Grants,
At a recent gcrndou of the National
Municipal league at Indianapolis Mr.
Charles Itichurdsou read a paper on
"Municipal Franchises" that attracted
attention, lie said in parti
"I feci coDstralnel to announce my-

tion as a matter of principle. I main
tain that the idea of grunting fran
chises to private individuals or corpora
tions to minister td a city in social,
nectHiltlo is as wrong in icieDtlflo the
ory as it In mlschiovoag and destructive
of what is best in municipal life in
practice. The whole idea of granting
special privileges to a few people to
make profit off all the rest of the peo
ple is undemocratic, and consequently
is oppoted to aud stands in the way of
progrcs toward tbo realization of cor
loftiest and best ideal, the equality of
all men before the law."
