As yet no copies of the new Public Service Commission law have been received in Richmond, but the newspapers have carried summaries of the principal provisions of this act. It would seem from what is known of the provisions of the law

what are iust and equitable rate3 for water until there is a valua

tion placed on the plant. The Public Service Commission is the

only body that has the authority to fix a valuation, which must

be used as a basis to establish rates. Until this is done no sane

action can be taken toward a solution of the question.

The water works question is nothing but a simple business

proposition. The people of Richmond want tne company to earn a reasonable amount on the value of the plant, but they do not pro

pose to pay a dividend on watered stock.

If the city government will not make application immediately

let the citizens of Richmond take the situation in hand.

A Survey of Our City Government.

One of the features of modern progress in business is the survey, a look

ing over of the whole administration for suggestions as to saving processes. As much as $10,000 is often paid for such service which sometimes results in

the saving of hundreds of thousands. Ten patriotic citizens of Springfield, Mass., have subscribed the necessary sum to have a municipal survey made of the government of that city to the end that the citizens may know whether

the methods in use are economical and efficient. Of course this knowledge Is as much desired by an honest administration as it is by the citizens. It

is not a question of wrongdoing any more than it is so in the management

of a private business; simply a question of finding out the best way. Many a manufacturing establishment, for example, has found that it was wasting hundreds of hours a week by not properly assembling its material. A "sur-

tion and d. stress. Millions of men and women today know that it is needless to have a bad stomach. A little Diapepsin occasion

ally keeps this delicate organ regulated

and they eat their favorite foods without fear. If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; if your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless relief is Pape's Diapepsin which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It' truly wonderful it digests food and pets things straight, so gently and easily that it is really astonishing Please, for your sake, don't go on ar on with a weak, disordered stomach; it's so unnecessary.

sible, to the end that the citizens and

taxpayers may be informed. There can be no criticism, therefore, of the official who places his advertisements in the paper which has the largest cir

culation. Indeed, he should be commended for his desire thus manifested to reach the greatest number of irsons. It is just as important that public printing be placed in newspapers with the largest circulation as it is for the merchant to seek the same avenue or reaching his customers. We hope to see the time when the legislature will pass a law requiring publishers of newspapers to place on file for public inspection such information as will leave no doubt as to tiie extent and character of their circula

BULLY FOR WILSON. (Lafayette Courier.) Bully for President Wil-on! His first proclamation today was to the effect that he would see no o seekers except those whom he snv.ed to see him.

Several years ago monies belonging to a certain fund .were

placed in another fund by mistake and eventually expended. Last

year state examiners discovered that $28,000 had been misplaced H

in this manner, and now the city has to draw on its very limited , pa

revenue to replace this amount in the proper fund. To make one !

payment on this account the city will have to negotiate a loan

next summer. The public is also reminded that for some years the city ha

been so short of funds that it has not been able to pay its lighting bill, thereby throwing the entire cost of street lighting on the patrons of the municipal plant, which in turn, hasinot been able to decrease its rates because it has been compelled to carry the unfair burden placed upon it by the city government. Surely the few facts cited above show that there is something reduce its rates owing to its inability to collect the bill the city
