"Honest graft’*will reach its highest level when, as predicted by the en­ thusiast#, the principles of municipal ownership are accepted by New York and tbs -pity tiw U'oUpy lines, the electric light and gas works and all the ferries as well as the water­ works and the police,, the fire and the street departments. Then such patriots as Oeorge Wash ingttm Plunkitt, fo? many, yearn or gankntlon leader of the Fifteenth dis­ trict in New York, will reap 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. Ptunkitt's “honest graft’*' schemes. He told'abbuf them himself in a book published last year, which wa# intro­ duced by a paragraph Indorsing him as a “veteran leader of the organisation,’* signed by Its greatest chief. PInnkJtt was sore because there were some objections, to "graft, being made blit of tfcCcity by men like Mm, and in the first chapter of his book he uttered a vigorous protest “Blackmailin’ gnrm biers, saloon keepers, disorderly peo­ ple, etc,,” hp admitted to b e ’wrong. That was “dishonest graft” ‘‘But*’ he kdded, “there’s an honest graft and I'm. an example qf how it works. 1 seen my opportunities and. 1 took ’em-” Mr, Phmlvitt’s explanation of how he did these things w|U illuminate the possibilities of-futute municipal owner­ ship days, if they over come, ’ , After elncUhUi’ug the ways be was “tipped'oft” at various^times by mem­ bers of hjrf party—the party ;Jn power— whem new bridges, new parks, new streets were to be opened,- so that lje might Invest In real estate likely to rise in price from the improvements contemplated, he adds*. “I haven’t Con­ fined inyself to land. Anything that; pays Is in my- line.” Then he gives a specific instance: Learning that the city was about to repave a certain street and so, would have , several hundred thousand old paving blocks to sell, he was “on hand to. buy,” and. he “knew just What they were-worth.” But a newspaper “tried to do him” and got some outside men from Brooklyn and New Jersey to bid against him. Mr, Munkltt’s own words tell the story best: “Was T done? Not much,' Lwent to each of the men. aiul said,' How many of those 250,000 stones do you want,?’ One said 20,000, and another wanted 35,000, and another wanted 10,- 000. el paid, ‘All right; let-me bid. for the lot,,and 1'U give each of. you all you want for nothin*’ “They agreed, of ebnrse. Then the auctioneer yelled, ’How much atn I bid for these fine .pavingstones?’ , “ ‘Two dollars and,fifty cents,’ says L **‘Two dollars, a’nd fifty cents!’ screamed the'auctioneer. 'Oh, that’s a Joke. Give me a real, bid.*, He found the bid was real enough., My rivals stood silent Xgot. the lot for $2.50 and gave them their share,' That's how the attempt to do PJunkitf ended, and that’s how all such attempts ei 3.” Xt is hardly necessary, in the light of tills authentic statement bit “honest graft's” workings, to enlarge Upon the extended opportunities that would come to the men of the Plunkitt Btftmp were the dream of-municipal owner­ ship to come true, Plunkitt Says “most politicians who aro accused of robbin’ the city get rich tho Same way” he did. They didn’t .etcai 'a dollar from the city, They just'seen their opportunities and took them ” ■While in the legislature Plunkitt in­ troduced the bills that provided for tile outlying pni-ks of New York, the Hof* Jem river speedway,, the Washington bridge, the One Hundred and Fifty- fifth attest viaduct, additions .to the Museum of Natural HHory and many other important public improvements. He is now a millionaire. Under tho proposed order of things, with city con- woi of everything, he might become a billionaire. , Under municipal ownership of all public utilities in- New York—and In most other cities la fact—politicians like Plunkitt, who a t different times has been elected state senator, assem­ blyman, county supervisor nnd alder­ man by hirf fellow cltlxenrf, besides serving as police magistrate for one term,.and wllo boasts of his record in filling four public offices in one year and drawing salaries from three of them at the same time, would flourish like a whole grove, of green bay trees.
