Why isn't a man without front teeth a backbiter? * Call and see these. authority are frequently advanced; that because of political assoeiations den Party. Two objections to the operation of [PEE snd-=interests--of - the average "public { official, the institution is likely to be | over-staffed by the employment of | persons whose political record may be their only recommendation; sec- ondly, that by reason of an ineffici- ent, poltically-minded staff,the insti- | tution may be operated wastefully and extravagantly. Nearly all persons who are honest- ly opposed to public ownership base their hostility upon some failure re- corded or some administrative loose- ness discovered in municipal, provin- cial or national business perhaps twenty years ago. They fail to con- sider the change in the attitude of the Canadian people toward such bad management, There ig a _strong op- inion in the country against the pa- tronage system, although for years it was as much a matter of course as a sunrise. The "spoils system" also has gone the way of other evils, It Was tolerated too long, and made itself a nuisance, i One of the reasons for the steady public confidence in the Hydro-Elec- tric system of Ontario is found in the fact that political considerations had nothing to do with its establish- ment, and have not hampered its development, The policy laid down by the first Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, composed of Sir Adam. Beck, Sir Johp Hendrie | and the late Cecil B. Smith, C.E,, was based upon the conception of the system as an ordinary business or- ganization to be administered as a trusteeship for the co-operating mu- nicipalities. That policy has been fol- lowed from the beginning unti] to- day. When engineers were needed the best engineers available were secured without refergnce to their political opinions, When accountants were re- quired .no patronage committee sub- mitted a list ofyworthy political ac- countants to be "'rewarded." The commission bought supplies in the open market on the recommendation of a purchasing agent, rather than from a list of 'favored firms." In a word, politics has no more to do with the administration of the system than with the administration of a chartered bank or a departmen- ta] store. For that reason both the dangers of public ownership have been avoided. The staff is diligent, keen and most efficient. Phe account- ing is approved by one of the most eminent private auditing firms in Canada. The quality of the engineer- ing is revealed in the dependability of the service, The Hydro-Electric system has been wonderfully successful, The re- cord of the Niagara system since 1913 is nothing short of amazing. But success did not merely happen. It was compelled by the severity of the accounting, by carefulness in the selection of the staff, and by the de- termined exclusion of politics and patronage. Proof has been given the people of Ontario that it is possible to administer a great public trust as carefully and as honestly as a successful private enterprise is man- ged, In view of that fact the stereo- typed objections to the public owner- ship and operation of public utilities become as unimportant as yester day's newspaper. .
