Valuating the Water Works The fixing of rates to be charged by public utilities corporations for their commodity was placed by the Shively-Spencer law in the hands of the Indiana State Public Utilities Commission.
It is they who decide what the water-works com
pany shall charge for water and not the company itself. The law permits each public utilities corporation to receive a reasonable return of interest on its service, and bases its calculation of the rate
designed to yield this amount of profit on a valuation of the plant. It must be noted that the basis of rates is not original capitalization, as is sometimes supposed, but its present valuatiqn. Thus if a plant cost $300,000 originally, but is now worth $500,000, it is manifest that the profit must be based on the latter figure. Before the Public Utilities Commission can determine a reasonable charge on water in Richmond, it must have an accurate present valuation of the plant. It is this which is now in question before the Commission and which is the basis of a suit that will be tried by them in the near future. In 1904 the Board of Public Works had an expert engineer, Mr. Maury, make a survey of the plant; but the Board specified that the engineer should estimate the cost of duplicating the equipment rather than its then value. For this and other reasons that report cannot now be used. The Richmond City Water Works Company has itself had a valuation made by certain experts called in from outside. They have estimated the value of each and every item owned by the company. These estimates they have em-
Juvenile Impoliteness It is familiar to all that we have a reputation abroad as being, in many ways, an ill mannered people. Almost every visitor who goes back to England, or Germany, or France to write a book about us has to ham his little fling about our
bad breeding. And it is significant that in these indictments the writers usually seek the cause of this in the way we train oar children. It is in juvenile impoliteness that they find the root of
the bad manners of grown-ups.
One may not be willing to accept the verdict of these critics as to the universality in America of bad breeding, but it is patent to all that our children. are not as well versed in the small arts of politeness as they might be. But what is the reason of this? i These critics of ours argue that it is due to
the failure of democracy. This idea of equality, of the abolition of social distinctions, they say,, shaves everything down to a dead level and places a premium on impoliteness. And they declare that politeness is the reflection of popular reverence for social rank and distinction. With this sort of theory we disagree entirely. We believe that impoliteness is due to an entirely opposite reason. If we are as ill mannered as
these critics would have us believe we are, it is not because we have too much democracy, but because we have too little. Politeness is an expression of our respect for the personalities of others. It is kindness in small things. And a social democracy is just this a human society in which people feel kindly toward each other and have respect for one another. If children are impolite it is due to only one thing: they have no sense of reverence for the personalities of others. If this is true it usually springs from the fact that the relationships of child and parent are not such as to establish confidence between the two. If a boy has no confi
dence in his father he can have little respect for him ; he can obey the dictates of etiquette toward him, but he won't be polite to him. Etiquette is being well mannered according to conventional rule and just because it is the convention ; politeness is being well mannered by instinct and from the heart. The one way to nourish our children in J;hat politeness which is the charm of home life in Germany and France is to establish between children and parents a bond of confidence. The mother whose daughter believes every word she says, who does what she threatens and gives what

not be included ; it also feels that in some cases the report does not make a sufficient deduction for depreciation. For these and a few ether reasons it desires to have an overhauling of the report made by an expert who understands thoroughly the difficult work of hydraulic engineering. Inasmuch as the legal department itself, however proficient it may be in its use of the law, is in the nature of the case not competent to pass on matters outside its province there seems no other alternative than to call in an expert from the outside. It is this which the city council decided on at its session Monday night and for which it appropriated $600. They plan to secure a specialist who comes highly recommended and who will work at $25 per day and expenses. He will not make a survey or valuation of the plant, but will give his judgment regarding the moot points in the report. Further than this the city plans to
make use of him as an expert witness when the row pending trial is held before the Commission. The importance of this will be immediately recognized when one recalls that the rates which the Richmond consumers of water will pay are determined on the basis of valuation. If, in instance, the Commission gives them the right to so charge as to return 6 per cent on the present value it means that for every $100,000 excess valuation the city must unfairly pay out each year an addition of $6,000 in rates. In view of these possible savings to the citizens it seems like business economy to pay a man $600. This is not to insinuate, however, that the Water Works Company is endeavoring to graft cn the people of the city, but is merely a businesslike and fair method of dealing with the matter. The company called in its experts to guard against the city placing .too low a valuation on the plant; the city has an equal right to guard against the company placing too high a valuation on it. There is a possibility of error on both sides and it is just and fair that both sides take fequal precaution against error.

Honeywell promised the appearance of the hymn writer Gabriel who wrote the words and music of most of the hymns that are sung from the tabernacle song books. However, his singer, Excell probably will not appear. Gabriel will lead the chorus in person, directing them in the siaging of the songs of his own composition.

If ever a man appears to be a consummate idiot a gigantic ass a blatant fool, all three combined and gross flattery at that, it is when he tries to tell God how to run things. I am not an Infidel because I am not a fool. The third and most incomprehensible thing is God's great love to a lost and ruined world and your Indifference and scorn and repudiation of that love.

Then with you powerless to prevent, his hands would be nailed to a cross and he would hang there in the hot sun from 9 o'clock in the morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That is what God did for the world.
Miss., Has a Few Facts to

"I suffered for three years from female inflammation, and hadf taken medicine from four different physicians without much benefit I have received more benefit from
seven bottles of Cardui, than from all the physicians." Just try Cardui. That's all we ask. It speaks for itself. It has helped so many thousands, it must be able to help you. Trying Cardui won't hurt you. It is safe, harmless, gentle in action, and purely vegetable. If you are weak, tired, down and out, try Cardui. If you are sick, miserable, and suffct from womanly pains, like headache, backache, dragging feelings; pains in side, arms, legs, etc. try Cardui. It is the medicine for all women. It is the tonic for you. N B Write tc: LidiV Advisory Dept , Cttaa. Booca Medicine Co.. ChsnanonjSjTenn.. lor Secitaj instructions, snd 64-pate book. Home Ttraarf

ASTHMA-CATARRH AND HAY FEVER
Can Be Greatly Relieved by the New External Vapor Treatment. Melt in a spoon a little Vicks "VapO'Hub" Croup and Pneumonia Salve snd inhale the vapors. Put a little up each nostril and at night apply well over throat and chest covering with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the covering loose around the neck so that the vapors of Menthol. Thymol, Eucalyptol, Camphor, and Pine Tar, that are released by the body heat, may be inhaled all night long. In Asthma and Hay Fever rub Vick's over the spinal column to relax the nervous tension. This treatment is not a "cure" but it has at least the merit of containing no harmful drugs and it is sold by all druggists in 25c, 50c, and $1.00 jars, on 30 days trial. Vick's is also excellent for all croup and cold troubles. .i Advertisement)

Why Should I Smoke TUXEDO ? TUXEDO is the logical smoke or millionaires because it is impossible to buy a better tobacco. Tuxedo is the logical smoke for the economical man because there are 40 pipefuls in a ten-cent tin making the average cost per pipeful only one-fourth of a cent! To buy cheaper tobacco means to get less pleasure out of smoking, because it is impossible to make a tobacco as good as Tuxedo at less than the Tuxedo price!
STANTON WARE URTON Congressman. State of Washington "My own experience leads me to believe that every desirable quality is present in Tuxedo Tobacco. It is the best smoke I ever had. "
IRVIN S. COBB humorist and novelist " can't think of any reason why I shouldn't say I like Tuxedo because I do like it, very much. "
The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette
Tuxedo is made of only the finest, choicest selected leaves of perfectly aged Burley tobacco. It is made by the original Tuxedo process which takes all the pleasantness out of tobacco and leaves all the pleasantness in! Tuxedo has a deliciously mild, fragrant aroma that is pleasant to all.
