Bipartisan clash over municipal control of utilities and trusts
The piece argues for higher fair prices for goods from fae buildings and calls for doubling railroad fares due to the depots built. It urges patent confiscation when used to build trusts and promotes municipal ownership of telephones. Editorial cites Kenyon on Sherman Act tweaks and praises Armour and other backers for cheaper automatic services in Chicago while criticizing the Telephone Trust's conduct. It also previews 1912 Chicago political contests and candidate notices.
