AN HONEST GRAFTER
A Glimpse Into the Future of Mu
nicipal Ownership.
A Thumb Nail Sketch of a "Practical
Politician' - —The Profits of an All
Around "Servant of the People, Who
Seen His Opportunities and Too!;
| 'Em."
"Ilonest prnft" will reach its highest
i level \\ heu, as predicted by the en
! lluisiiists, the principles of municipal
owner-hip are accepted by New Vork
and the city controls the trolley lines,
the electric light and gas works and
all the ferries as well as the water
works and (ho police, the tire auil tlio
street departments.
Then such patriots as George Wash
ington l'hinkitt, >for many years or
ganization leader of the Fifteenth dis
trict in New 1 > >rk, will re ip rewards of
greater magnitude than they have ever
been able to gather under the present
order of things.
Perhaps you have never heard about
Mr. Plunkitt's "honest graft" schemes,
lie told about them himself in a book
published last year, which was intro
duced by a paragraph indorsing him as
n "veteran leader of the organization,"
signed by its greatest chief.
Plunkitt was sore because there were
some objections to graft being madu
out of the city bv men like him, and in
the first chapter of his book In- uttered
a vigorous protest. "liluckmailin'gam
biers, saloon keepers, disorderly pes
l>le, etc.." he admitted to lie wrong.
That was "dishonest graft."
"But,"' he added, "there's an honest
graft, and Pin au example of how it
works. ! seen my opportunities and I
took "em."
Mr. Plunkitt's explanation of how bu
did these things will illuminate the
possibilities of future municipal owner
ship days, if they ever come.
After elucidating the ways he was
"tipped off" at various times by mem
bers of his party—the party in power
wheu new bridges, new parknow
streets were to lie opened, so that I. •
might invest in real estate likely t>
rise In price from the im]■:•■>. clients
contemplated, he adds "I h. < n't con
fined myself to land. Anyf'.ing that
pays is In my line." Then lie gives a
specific instance:
Learning that the city was about to
repave a certain street ami so would
have several hundred thousand ol 1
paving blocks to sell, lie was"on hand
to buy," and lie "knew just what they
were worth." Hut a newspaper "tried
to do him" and got some outside men
from P.rooklyn ainl .New Jersey to bid
against him. Mr. Plunkitt's own words
tell Ihe story best:
"Was I done? Not much. ! went
to each of the men and said, 'How
many of those UnO.ooo stones do you
want?' One said 20,000, ami another
wanted l">,fioo, and another wanted P
000. I said. 'Ail right; let me bid for
the Int. it nil I'll give each of you all
MODLI B r
r COtn^°r J*!? l e .* B ®* * J l '
you want ror notion .•
"Thn.v agreed. of conr. e. Then the
auctioneer yelled, 'How much urn I bid
for I'i 'so tine pavin' stonesV'
" 'Two clolia.'.-s and fifty cents,' says I.
" 'Two dollars and fifty cents!'
sere!;:::i-d the auctioneer. 'Oh, that's a
jc'.e- (!|' c me a rea 1 led.'
"He found the bid was real euough
My tivals stood silent. 1 g>l the 1 >t for
ii'-'.-iO and gave the;:i their .-hare. That's
!i.j\v ;?>:> inieaipt to do l'lunkift ended,
and tli.; '-i how all such uttempts end."
It i; h ivdly necessary, hi the light of
this aufiiotiile of "liouest
grafi' working.!, to enlarge upon the
extended opportunities that would
come t > tlx; men of lee I'hv.ikitt stamp
were the dream of Municipal owner
hip to ciuie true, l'lun itt says "most
politicians who are ne< d of rabbin'
the cip, get rich (he a,. • way" he did.
"Ti: v didn't steal a dollar from the
city. Th y .j»: • 112 s.een their opportunities
and took t'ae:;!."

J. T. Aiiman. secretary of the Petri
sylvaniu state grange, remarks that
recently at a grangi picnic a gentle
man, not a farmer, extolled the farmer
to the skies. As he sax.' it.the farmer
is the most independent man i: I the
land, IP can - .tr .iy know a want
that he cannot hinsseil supply. IPs
wife enjoys a paradise, and his chil
dren are the healthi -st. happi 'si and
most conion' .1 to be lettnd a:,.'.where.
Ti ere is nothing of which he can justly
complain.
Soon after a farmer who owos tw >
eood 'an.>s and a house in town wa
heard to say:
"The farmer is not respected by any
body. He gets no public reeo"nition.
When lie goes a: :on:.' n'iier people he is
sneered at as only a farmer. lie is d s
criminate 1 against by lea. d: tors and
